He could not see a thing, but after this period, he had gotten used to the world of darkness.
With his hearing ability, Kendrick slowly inched closer to the place where Niamh was being locked up in.
No matter how Niamh struggled, she could not defend against two muscular men. Her hands were locked, making it hard for her to move around.
“You really drive me mad, Niamh! You always look as if you’ve seen through everything. Then, do you know what I’m about to do to you?”
Yvonne gritted her teeth hard, putting on a fierce look.
“You two, tear off her clothes. I want to upload this b*tch’s awful pictures up on the net and let everyone witness the prestigious Young Lady Montgomery being raped by others!”
The two men put on a devilish look after hearing her comment.
They grabbed onto Niamh, and at the eleventh hour when they stretched their hands out to Niamh, the door was kicked open.
Niamh looked up and saw Kendrick’s outline appear before her.
Even though he had lost his vision, his eyes still gave off a sharp glare.
At that moment, a sense of security was injected into Niamh.
“Cou… Cousin…” Yvonne stuttered.
“I’m here, Kendrick,” Niamh called out to him.
Kendrick immediately followed the voice but suddenly heard Niamh’s anxious shriek. “Watch out!”
He came to a halt and accurately grabbed onto the hand of the man who was about to ambush him.
Kendrick raised his pair of infuriated orbs and increased the strength of his clench. “In this world, only I’m allowed to see Nia’s body!”
He blurted an icy cold statement before kicking the man before him and sending him flying away.
Niamh looked at Kendrick. His comment had struck straight to her heart, making her cheeks feel warm without her realizing it.
“Let’s go, quick.” Yvonne attempted to make a run for it, knowing that the situation was not favoring her. At the same time, she took along the bag of cash.
The man who got kicked by Kendrick quickly got up to his feet and sprinted.
Niamh and Kendrick wanted to chase them, but they both had their worries.
Niamh was worried because Kendrick could not see a thing.
Kendrick was worried whether Niamh was injured or not.
Although the criminals had escaped, they felt fortunate that no one was hurt.
Niamh escorted Kendrick to the stairs and saw Karen and Winston ahead. Just when they were about to reunite, a van drove straight toward them from beside. The lights of the van were on and it was so bright that Niamh could not keep her eyes open.
She saw the van driving straight toward them, and subconsciously, she pushed Kendrick, who was blind, away. Just as the van came to a halt, a force yanked her into it.
“Nia? Nia!”
Kendrick searched for Niamh in the darkness but the van had already driven away.
Winston quickly drove his car in front of Kendrick. “Quick, get into the car, Kendrick!”
Karen quickly supported Kendrick into the car.
After chasing the van from behind for some time, Winston noticed that the van had stopped not far ahead from them. ‘It looks like the van broke down.’
Kendrick got down from the car and followed the squeaking sound. Winston wanted to stop him but was too late.
“Nia! Nia!”
He shouted Niamh’s name frantically, but the only reply he got was the sound of the branches swaying because of the breeze.
Niamh let her guard down for a moment and Yvonne seized the opportunity to push her all the way to the edge of a slope.
“Niamh, why are you insisting on going against me?! You’ve already obtained my cousin and even stopped me from becoming rich. Now, you’re putting on an act to save my stupid aunt! Great, since you’re so noble, I might as well send you to the other world!”
“Nia!”
Just when Yvonne was about to make a move, she heard Kendrick’s voice.
She did not hesitate any longer as she knew that bad people always ended up dead because they talked too much. Hence, she decided to keep her mouth shut. All she wanted to do at that moment was to kill Niamh!
Within the empty woods, Kendrick heard Yvonne’s cruel speech. His instinct told him that something terrible was about to happen to Niamh.
Relying on his hearing and other senses, Kendrick sprinted his way to where Niamh was.
That short journey had seemed extremely long to him.
His heart was palpitating extremely fast to a point where his heart could no longer tolerate it.
The night breeze tickled his ears as Kendrick ran straight ahead with all his might. “Nia, wait for me. You must wait for me.”
He kept muttering to himself. He felt as if this entire world was empty and only Niamh occupied it.
He wanted to grab onto her hands and never let her go. He did not want her to leave his world.
Kendrick tried his best to locate where Niamh was. Then, it felt as though a glimpse of light had suddenly appeared in the darkness before him. That ray of light gradually enlarged and finally, Niamh’s face appeared crystal clear in his orbs.
“Nia…”
Yvonne was angry when she saw Kendrick running to them. She used all her force to push Niamh down the slope. “Off you go to hell, Niamh!”
Niamh lost her balance and felt her legs stepping in the air as she fell down the slope.
“Nia!”
Kendrick extended his long arms, his hand accurately grabbing onto Niamh’s wrist.
Niamh raised her head to look up. Under the moonlight, her vision was occupied with Kendrick’s worried expression.
“Nia!”
Kendrick was grateful as he stared at Niamh who was hovering in mid-air. He quickly pulled her up with effort.
“Don’t be afraid, Nia. I’ll never let you go, never again.” He promised while giving all he got to pull Niamh up.
Yvonne got exasperated when she witnessed the scene.
She did not wish for Kendrick to pull Niamh up, but at the same time, she heard many footsteps approaching them.
Recalling that the 500,000 in cash had been taken away by her two other comrades, Yvonne was left with no choice but to flee the scene while gritting her teeth.
She did not wish to lose the money as well, not when she had failed to finish Niamh.
At that moment, Kendrick was not bothered by anything that was happening around him. All he cared about was Niamh.
Niamh never expected Kendrick to catch hold of her at the eleventh hour. She put in her effort as well and squeezed out all her strength to climb up.
However, given that the slope was too slippery, she felt she was moving downward as she continued climbing up.
She looked up and noticed that she was dragging Kendrick down the slope as well.
“Let go of me, Kendrick. I won’t be dead. At most, I’ll just roll all the way down.” She asked for Kendrick to let her go.
In the next second, she saw Kendrick’s eyes giving off a domineering aura as he looked straight into her eyes.
“The biggest mistake I’ve ever made in my life is that I didn’t hold on to you properly and never gave you the happiness you deserve. Listen up, Eveline. I’ll never let go, not even death can make me let go of you!”
Every word that left his lips was like droplets of boiling water that dripped into Niamh’s heart.
She was lost in thought as she stared at his worried face. Suddenly, her whole body dropped down the cliff, and the next second, Kendrick was dragged down as well.
At the split second when they both fell, Kendrick pounced forward and hugged Niamh.
“Kendrick! Niamh!”
Winston and Karen finally caught up to them, only to witness both of them falling down the cliff.
The scene made Karen’s lower limbs give way as she dropped to the ground.
The moment she called out Kendrick’s name, Niamh’s name also came up to her throat.
Niamh’s earlier action to rescue Karen left her in a bottomless confusion…
Soon, the rescue team arrived. However, after reaching the bottom of the cliff, they failed to retrieve anything and could not track down Kendrick and Niamh’s location.
