Seeing the person he loved leaning in another person’s arms, the scene assassinated his heart. He felt a familiar, bloody smell spreading to his throat again.
He did not want to face it and wanted to leave, but Lana suddenly got out of the car and walked toward Niamh and Ryan.
Kendrick looked at Lana’s back in disgust and got out of the car to catch up with her with dissatisfaction.
“How sweet!”
Lana made a mocking sound at Niamh and Ryan.
Niamh let herself go from Ryan’s embrace. When she looked up to see Lana, she also saw Kendrick who was following Lana closely.
Her tearful eyes instantly became sharp, casting a cold light.
However, Niamh did not want to waste her time and breath. She turned toward Ryan and said, “Rye, let’s go to the police station.”
“Okay.” Ryan nodded and stepped forward to take Niamh’s hand.
Niamh froze for a moment when she felt Ryan’s warm palm, but she did not let go.
Although it was under the curtains of the night, Kendrick still saw tears in Niamh’s eyes.
‘She cried.
‘Why did she cry?’
He thought carefully. Seeing Ryan leading Niamh to leave, Kendrick opened his mouth and pretended to be contemptuous by saying, “Mr. Jones, didn’t you say you’ll take good care of my ex-wife? What’s wrong, then? Is it because you’re taking care of her so thoughtfully that Miss Montgomery is happily crying in the streets?”
Both Niamh and Ryan stopped in their tracks when his voice fell.
Lana, on the other hand, looked at Niamh with interest. She also said enigmatically, “Kendrick, you have great observation skills. Miss Montgomery really has tears in her eyes. Are you happy about something?”
Lana taunted, when in fact she knew best why there were tears in Niamh’s eyes.
Niamh was sad. She was worried that something might happen to Lillian.
‘But Eveline, it’s too late to cry.
‘Your daughter has already gone to meet your parents!’
Lana thought insidiously. She still wanted to roast her when she saw Niamh suddenly smiling and looking at her.
“That’s right, I’m happy because my fiancé has just promised me that he’ll love and protect me forever. I felt very touched, so I cried with joy.”
As she spoke, she looked at Kendrick who had his lips curved upward.
“Take care of your girlfriend. Don’t simply bark and disturb us when my fiancé and I are on a date.”
“…” Lana’s proud smiling face cracked in an instant.
She gritted her teeth and wanted to push Niamh further, but Kendrick stopped her. “Instead of wasting time, why don’t we go have a candlelight dinner?”
Lana’s face instantly brightened upon hearing this. She stuck to Kendrick’s side with a coquettish smile. “My dear, you’re right. Instead of wasting my breath, it’s better to spend time together.”
She sneered arrogantly and wanted to say a few more words to Niamh but saw that Niamh did not even care about her. She had already followed Ryan to the car and left without looking back.
Kendrick looked at Niamh’s leaving silhouette and silently breathed a sigh of relief.
Yet when Kendrick imagined the scene of her and Ryan hugging each other before, his heart felt suffocated.
He cleared his emotions and went back to Lana’s car. As soon as he sat down, he received an unfamiliar message on his phone: [Lillian Waldburg is missing. The woman beside you is highly suspicious.]
Kendrick read the message calmly. While he was worried about Lillian, he suddenly realized something.
There were tears in Niamh’s eyes before not because she was crying with joy, but because she was worried about Lillian’s safety.
Kendrick deleted the message and looked at Lana who was driving. “Your mood seems to be very good today? You even said you want to take me out for a drive. Where are we going?”
Lana curled her red lips and spoke unscrupulously, “Since I saw Eveline being sad, I’m happy about it.”
Kendrick’s eyes were instantly cold upon hearing her words. “She was clearly crying happily just now, so how could she be sad?”
“Kendrick, the truth is not what you saw,” Lana said smugly before she looked at Kendrick with some concern. “Kendrick, there are some things that you’re better off not knowing. Otherwise, I’m afraid you’ll be sad too.”
Kendrick objected. “What could I be sad about? I don’t care about anyone except for you now.”
Lana slammed on the brakes upon hearing this. She looked at the handsome and cold man with excitement and anticipation. “Kendrick, is what you said for real?”
“Do you think it’s fake? With how I’ve been treating you all this time, can’t you feel it?” Kendrick asked back leisurely.
Lana thought for a moment and no longer had any doubts.
“In that case, Kendrick, even if something happens to your and Niamh’s child, you wouldn’t care anymore?”
Kendrick quietly hid the sorrow in his eyes. “I’ve told you, I only care about you now.”
“Then, that’s great.” Lana smiled, then said, “My subordinate unexpectedly ran into Eveline’s daughter today and thought that the child was particularly annoying, so he dealt with her.”
Kendrick curled his fingers abruptly, holding back his emotions. “What do you mean by ‘dealt with her’?”
“He took the initiative to drown that little thing.”
Kendrick clenched his fists upon hearing this. The unbearably deep sorrow had already caused him to lose all his sanity.
Lillian.
He painfully restrained his emotions and forced himself to calm down.
‘No, it can’t be.
‘Lillian, you’ll be fine.’
Lana glanced sideways at Kendrick’s expression. She was even more delighted to see that there was no disturbance on his handsome face.
The poison developed by Adam was indeed powerful.
It was also a good thing to be able to capture a man’s heart in this way.
At the very least, Kendrick could not be without her now.
…
Lillian slept deeply all afternoon after she was saved by Fabian.
At this moment, the little girl was wearing a T-shirt that was too big for her and was sitting on the bed. Her plump, white feet were dangling on the edge of the bed as she looked at Fabian who was holding up beautiful dresses for her to see.
“Lily, do you like this one? It’s pink and as cute as you, Lily.” Fabian did his very best to convince Lily, but the child only shook her head. She did not speak at all and looked depressed.
“What about this one? It’s white, like the clouds in the sky,” Fabian said with a smile on his face.
However, Lillian still shook her head and remained silent.
Fabian glanced at the shopping bags piled up all over the room and walked to Lily’s side. “Lillian, what do you like? I’ll buy it for you.”
Lillian looked at him and blinked. Her little mouth moved, but in the end, she did not say a word.
Fabian thought that the child might still be frightened, so he caressed her head dearly and picked her up. “Then, I’ll take you home to see your mother, okay?”
Lily’s eyes suddenly lit up upon hearing this.
She took the initiative to reach out her hand to Fabian. Fabian understood and carried Lillian in his arms.
Fabian’s heart melted once such a soft little bun was in his arms.
He took the candy bouquet that he had not given to her the last time and stuffed it into Lily’s little hand. Then, he went downstairs with the child in his arms.
Just when he walked to the door, Fabian heard the sound of Lana returning. His expression suddenly sank. His handsome face was filled with a sorrow that he never had before.
Kendrick was walking behind Lana. Looking at the hateful figure of her back, he could no longer be calm.
When he thought of Lillian who was tortured by Lana’s subordinate, even to the point of death, he could not continue to slowly collect evidence of Lana’s crimes.
He wanted to avenge his little princess.
‘Lillian, Daddy will avenge you now.’
“Lana, you inhuman pervert!”
Kendrick was about to finish Lana off when he heard Fabian cursing angrily.
Lana was in a good mood, but she was scolded by Fabian as soon as she entered the house. Her expression hardened. She was about to open her mouth to retort when she saw Fabian carrying Lillian, who was safe and sound, in his arms.
