He looked at Niamh through the small window before sitting down at one side.
He knew Niamh had misunderstood him.
However, it was expected.
It was nearing afternoon, and Kendrick was going to buy lunch for Niamh, so he left for a while. Before he left, he asked the nurse to watch over Niamh.
The nurse agreed without hesitating since Kendrick was an extremely handsome man.
Niamh looked at the window dispiritedly. Then, she reached out and touched the shell on her neck before sobbing silently.
‘Kendrick, do you know that you’re killing your child with your own hands?
‘Even if you don’t think it’s your child, how could you be so cruel?’
Niamh felt that she could not stay around Kendrick anymore. That man still had evil in his blood.
After Kendrick came back with the food, he walked back to the hospital room.
However, when he entered the room, the bed was empty and Niamh was nowhere to be seen.
He ran to the nurse station in a panic, and the nurse from a few moments ago was terrified by Kendrick’s rage. She told him nervously, “I checked on her just now, so I don’t think she went far…”
Kendrick went back to the room in a panic. He tried to look for clues as he was worried that Felipe’s men had found her. However, he noticed a note with Niamh’s handwriting on the dresser.
Kendrick looked at the note Niamh left and crumpled it in the palm of his hand.
Then, he chased after her when he realized that she might still be around here.
Niamh came to the side of the road to hail a cab. When she was about to get in, she saw Kendrick running out of the hospital with a frantic look on his face.
Perhaps it was telepathy, but Kendrick looked over in her direction.
When Niamh saw this, she quickly got into the car.
She did not know how to face this man. When she recalled how he had forcefully carried her to the operating table and told her that she could not have this child with such a cold expression, her heart started aching terribly.
When Kendrick spotted Niamh, he called a cab to follow after her. However, he still lost her.
Then, he remembered as long as Niamh was still wearing the bracelet, he would be able to track her.
What surprised Kendrick was that it indicated Niamh was in the manor Felipe had brought her to.
She ran away from him so that she could go back to Felipe.
He felt a blow to his heart.
When someone was in danger, they would go to someone who they thought was the most dependable and the most likely to give them security.
At this moment, the person Niamh wanted to depend on the most was Felipe.
Kendrick’s heart shattered as the cold wind blew past him.
He clenched his fist as a dark tide appeared behind his eyes.
He could not accept the fact that the woman who loved him so much was now treating another man as her safe harbor. He would not let this go so easily.
Felipe had lost track of Kendrick for a moment, so he decided to go out and look for him. However, when he stepped out of the door, he was shocked by the person in front of him.
Felipe was surprised. He looked at the dispirited and pale person in front of him, asking, “Did Kendrick release you?”
Niamh nodded without an expression on her face. “Yeah, he did. He even promised not to expose you, but as a condition, you have to let him go back to Glendale.”
Felipe listened to her, then asked with a soft smile, “Eveline, is that your condition or his condition?”
“Doesn’t matter whose condition it is. You can’t keep asking people to hunt him down anymore.” Niamh was firm, and there was a hint of dominance in her red eyes. “If you ask someone to hunt him down again, then don’t expect the child in my stomach to come to this world safely.”
After she said that, Felipe’s smile disappeared.
When she said this, Niamh felt as if a thousand knives were slicing through her heart.
A few hours ago, she had been forced to undergo an abortion.
The child was gone.
However, she would not let Felipe know this.
Of course, she would not let him know that the child had belonged to Kendrick either.
Felipe was clearly reluctant with that condition, but he still compromised. “Okay, I’ll promise to let him go back to Glendale.” He walked in front of Niamh. “Eveline, you have to rest and take good care of your child. I’ll tell my men to stop the hunt now.”
He finished saying that with a soft smile. Then, he took out his phone and walked to the door.
He turned around to look at Niamh who was looking down. Then, he ordered, “Everyone, go to the international airport now because Kendrick might be there. Keep him alive until he hands over the video.”
Niamh did not hear what Felipe was saying. However, at this moment, she was feeling groggy and everything in front of her looked grey.
She did not know what was going on. Kendrick was so cold-blooded and cruel, but she was still buying time and opportunities for him.
The sky had turned dark and the stars started appearing one by one.
Niamh touched her flat stomach as tears welled up in her eyes.
A maid came over and asked her to have dinner downstairs. Then, she went downstairs and sat down at the dining table inattentively like a robot.
For some reason, this manor had never been so quiet before. Aside from the sound of the maids in the kitchen and the two bodyguards watching the door, it seemed as if she was the only one in this gigantic manor.
Niamh did not have an appetite. She walked into the courtyard and faced the cool breeze. She could not forget what Kendrick said to her when they were outside the operating theatre.
When her heart was hurting, she heard some noises coming from the basement all of a sudden.
She turned around curiously and walked to the door of the basement.
Niamh opened the door quietly, and it was pitch-black inside. When she was about to turn on the lights, something tripped her.
She held out her hand to stop her fall reflexively, but in the darkness, she grabbed a warm hand.
Then, a familiar scent enveloped her. Just like a bewitching potion, it caused her to freeze instantly.
The man held her neck from behind as his lips got close to her ear. His tone was mixed with reluctance and jealousy.
“Eveline Montgomery, tell me who do you love? Why would you run back to Felipe willingly instead of running away with me? Why?”
His voice was so deep but was filled with bias and stubbornness.
Niamh could not control her tears when she recalled how he had killed their child so cruelly. “Kendrick, do you know what you’re doing? You’re walking right into the trap!”
“Walking right into the trap? Even if I die today, I want to ask the woman I love the most whether she loves me or not.” His warm breath sprayed on her cheek as he spoke with a firm attitude.
When he saw Niamh not saying anything, he lifted her chin and looked into her eyes that were filled with resentment and tears. “Eveline, answer me. You accepted me last night, so why did you run back to Felipe now? Why did you give me hope and then take it all away?”
“You’re asking me why? Kendrick Waldburg, you’re asking me why?” Niamh’s tears rolled down her cheeks. “You killed our child and you’re asking me why? I should be the one asking you. Why do you always do such cruel things to me? Is this the love that you talk about?”
“My child?” Kendrick scoffed. “Do you think I don’t know that you’re only saying that to protect Felipe’s child?”
“Kendrick, you…”
“You want me to believe you and every word you say, but have you forgotten, Eveline? You’re the one who told me that the child in your stomach belonged to Felipe!”
“…”
Niamh was speechless, but then, she heard Kendrick saying, “That child shouldn’t be alive in your stomach.”
Slap!
Niamh slapped Kendrick once again.
Two bodyguards walked past when they were smoking. When they heard the noise, they walked into the basement vigilantly.
“There are noises coming from down here.”
“I don’t think so?”
“I’ll go take a look.”
“I’ll come with.”
The two bodyguards walked to the door of the basement. After they opened the door, they turned on the switch next to them.
However, there was nothing in the room. There was not even a rat, let alone a human.
