Felipe looked at her ominously and nodded lightly.
Cathy turned around and ran away quickly because she was scared that Felipe would sense something.
When she went back to her room, her heart was beating so fast that she felt as if her heart was going into overdrive.
She touched her stomach and gasped in lingering fear.
‘I can’t let Felipe know that I’m pregnant.
‘I can’t!
‘If not, I won’t be able to keep this child.’
In the living room.
Felipe looked at Niamh’s painting and understood how Niamh was feeling at this moment.
“Eveline, I wanted to bring you on a vacation so that you can clear your head, but I just finished my online meeting and was informed that I need to take care of something back in F Country. That’s why I need to leave for a bit.”
“Work is important, so you should go.” Niamh understood. “Plus, I want to accompany Jack more as well. Felipe, I’m afraid we have to delay going back to F Country.”
“It’s nothing, you dummy.” Felipe held her hand gently. “The most important thing is that you’re happy.”
He said and looked out the window. Then, he noticed Kendrick standing at the door.
He was slightly pissed. When he was about to go down, Niamh stopped him. “Felipe, let me. I want to use this chance to break things off completely with him.”
Felipe was pleased when he heard that. He had been waiting for the day Niamh would cut things off completely with Kendrick.
Niamh held the umbrella and walked to the door with her drawing.
Kendrick had been waiting this entire time. When he saw Niamh appearing in his vision, he was surprised.
Even though he was also holding an umbrella, since he had been waiting for so long, his body was cold and wet.
“Nia.” Kendrick walked toward her. “Nia, I have something to say to you.”
Niamh looked at him flatly. “I have something to say to you as well.”
Kendrick was taken aback. Then, he smiled softly. “Go ahead, Nia.”
“Please stop coming to look for me in the future. Also, stop appearing in my vision,” she said coldly with an icy gaze.
“I don’t want any sort of relationship with you. If I had been firm on my decision to go back to F Country with Felipe, none of this would have happened.
“Kendrick, I won’t care about you anymore. It won’t matter to me if you’re dead, alive, happy, or sad.”
Kendrick felt like there was a hole in his heart. The cold autumn wind was invading his broken heart along with the rain.
Kendrick grabbed her when he saw that she was about to leave. “Nia, can you give me one minute?”
“Yes.” Niamh looked at him coldly. Then, she threw that drawing at him. “If the angel in this drawing comes back to life, I’ll give you a minute.”
Kendrick watched as the paper slowly fell. He reached out to grab it and saw a smiling face that was similar to Lillian’s.
He immediately understood what Niamh was trying to tell him.
She would never forgive him anymore—unless Lillian was alive.
Felipe drove the car over and Niamh got in.
Kendrick then saw Felipe’s victorious gaze, but he could only allow Felipe to take Niamh away.
The rain became heavier, and Kendrick held the drawing in his hands while his heart ached.
…
The next day, Felipe went to F Country.
Cathy was glad that Felipe had not noticed her pregnancy. If not, she could predict what would have happened to her.
On this day, Niamh brought Jackson to the pirate theme park.
This was Lillian’s favorite place in the world when she was alive, but she had never brought her here.
Since Lillian was too young, she could not go on any of the rides here yet.
She had even promised the little girl that she would bring her here when she grew up.
However, she did not think that they would never get to the day when she grew up.
Niamh took out the little pendant she carried around her neck. Before this, Lillian would always carry it with her.
She opened her eyes that had gotten red in the wind and caressed the pendant. “Lily, I’m taking you to Pirate Land now. Can you see?”
She forced a smile. The pain in her heart was extremely evident and bone-crushing.
Niamh could not control her emotions. She held the pendant and started crying.
“Lillian…”
However, she quickly thought about Jackson. She did not want to show any negative emotions in front of another child.
Niamh wiped her eyes quickly and looked to her side.
However, when she looked over, there was no one next to her. Aside from the people behind her in line, she did not see Jackson anywhere.
Niamh felt as if her heart had plunged into a deep abyss. This loss of balance made her face white.
“Jack? Jack!”
She frantically started searching everywhere for him.
She could not bear the pain of another loss again.
“Jack!”
Niamh screamed loudly, causing the people around her to look at her curiously.
They did not understand why she was crying so heavily.
“Why is this happening?” Niamh stood in the crowded theme park, and everything in front of her was black. She felt like she was going to suffocate at any second.
“Nia!”
Kendrick ran to Niamh through the crowd and saw how pale her face was. When he saw her crying hysterically, he felt as if something had penetrated his heart and he was struggling to breathe.
“Nia, what’s wrong? Nia?”
“Jack…” She mumbled, feeling lifeless. “I lost Jack. Why am I such a horrible mother? I couldn’t protect my daughter and I can’t even watch over my son now. How am I even qualified to be their mother?”
Kendrick’s eyes turned red. He pulled Niamh into his arms and held her closely. He was trying to give her warmth and support.
“Nia, don’t blame yourself. You’re a good mother. You’ve always been a good mother.”
He comforted her and recalled the past. Actually, he was the one who was the most unqualified to be a father.
She was able to risk her life for Jackson, so how could she be a bad mother?
When he thought about this, he felt more and more sorry for Niamh.
“Nia, it’s all my fault. I’ve caused you too much pain. You’re right, meeting me is the biggest misfortune in your life. I want to change this misfortune into a blessing. Nia, I’m so sorry.”
“Mommy. Oh? Daddy’s here too. How great!”
Suddenly, Niamh heard Jackson’s voice in her ears.
She turned around abruptly and saw Jackson standing there with a balloon and a stick of cotton candy.
“Jack!”
Niamh ran over to Jackson like a child. Her tears immediately turned into laughter as she squatted in front of him. “Jack, where did you go?”
“I went to get cotton candy and a balloon. Didn’t I tell you just now?” Jackson blinked his crystal-clear eyes.
Niamh realized she might not have heard him when she was too busy missing Lillian.
She let out a sigh of relief. When she was about to ask why Jackson wanted cotton candy and balloons since he did not like them, she heard the little guy say seriously.
“Lily doesn’t have time to play with us today, so I’m buying her favorite cotton candy and balloons for her. She’ll be so happy when she sees them.”
