It turned out she was just his experiment!
“You don’t need to be angry. If it weren’t for my success with the experiment, you wouldn’t have lived till now, so you should be thanking me.” Adam looked proud and was confident at the success of his experiment.
“But what if your experiment had failed?! Have you ever thought that two lives would be lost?!”
“So what? You already had a troublesome disease. Death was inevitable. Your survival is a miracle brought upon by me.”
“Adam!” Adam’s remarks were shameless beyond comparison. She was trembling with anger, but she could not do anything to Adam.
“Adam, you really are terrible. You lied to everyone, including Daniel who has always regarded you as a good friend.”
Adam chuckled dismissively. “There’s no longer any meaning for you to say this, Eveline, but since you’re here, let me give you a gift for our meeting this time.”
He turned around and picked up two test tubes that were the thickness of his fingers from the laboratory table.
Niamh guessed that this might be the anti-toxoid reagent that could treat Kendrick.
In the next second, the transparent wall in front of her turned into a door that opened from both sides with the operation of Adam’s remote control.
Niamh quickly walked over to Adam, but just as she was about to grab the reagent, Ryan appeared behind her and took the reagent away.
Niamh’s sharp eyes revealed a strong aura. “Ryan, give me the anti-toxoid reagent!”
Ryan smiled deeply. “I can give it to you, but you have to pay a small price.”
Niamh looked at the anti-toxoid reagent in front of her and thought of Kendrick.
She knew that Kendrick would definitely not be willing to see her compromising and accepting Ryan’s despicable demands.
However, she knew better that she did not want to see a day when he would be in so much pain.
Niamh clenched her fists tightly and looked at the man in front of her who looked like his victory was already determined. Her gaze was firm.
“Ryan, you can make a request, but if you cross the line, I won’t compromise.”
Ryan walked up to Niamh and picked up the anti-toxoid reagent in his hand. He smiled deeply. “I’m afraid you have no reason to refuse. I don’t want him to suffer. You have no choice but to agree.”
…
Hospital.
Kendrick was pacing back and forth in the corridor anxiously. The calmness he always had was gone at this moment.
There was still blood on his palms that he had not managed to wash off. All of them came from Lillian.
Kendrick closed his eyes and took a deep breath, thinking of Lillian who had tried so hard to get close to him during this period of time. She had been wanting to call him ‘Daddy’ but instead, he turned a blind eye.
How much had his behavior hurt the child’s heart till the child was still trying to call him ‘Daddy’ just before she fell into unconsciousness?
Although he did not hear the child’s voice, he could see the shape of her mouth.
‘Daddy’.
His little princess had called him her father.
Kendrick’s heart seemed to be riddled with countless glass slags and the pain was too much for him to bear.
Fabian was also restless at the moment. He regretted bringing Lillian and Jackson out off kindergarten.
Just as he was blaming himself, Kendrick suddenly rushed to him and picked him up by the collar.
Kendrick was furious. With blue veins protruding from his forehead, he uttered icy words while blaming Fabian.
“Fabian, why did you go look for my daughter for no reason?! You brought her out of the kindergarten! Since you brought her out, why didn’t you look after her well?!”
Fabian stood up straight while getting scolded and did not evade in the slightest.
“I’m sorry I didn’t look after Lillian well. If you want to beat or scold me, I’ll accept it.” Fabian apologized guiltily, feeling a discomfort in his heart. He was also worried about Lillian who was in the emergency room right now.
“Will doing that turn back time and allow Lillian to return to my side unscathed?!” Kendrick scolded, pushing Fabian against the wall.
“Fabian, I won’t allow you to see my daughter anymore. You’ll get out of here right now.”
Fabian glanced at the operating room with the red light still on and raised his eyes to look at Kendrick who had a cold expression. “I’ll leave after I confirm that Lillian is okay.”
Kendrick disagreed. “You’ll leave right away!”
“I’ll just take a look.” Fabian’s tone showed that he was humbly pleading.
“Heh,” Kendrick sneered as a cold light came from the bottom of his eyes. “Fabian, why did my daughter become mute? Why did I become like this? It’s all because of you Johnsons. You still dare stand here?”
Hearing this, Fabian furrowed his eyebrows. Suddenly, there was nothing to say.
“Fabian, never see my daughter again. Get out,” Kendrick warned solemnly before turning around coldly to face the operating room.
Fabian clenched his fist, but he finally let go of it weakly.
He could fully understand Kendrick’s emotions at the moment, and if it were him, he might do something more radical than Kendrick.
It was just…
‘Lillian, if I can never see you again, I’ll definitely miss you very much,’ Fabian thought silently, then turned around and left.
Kendrick heard the footsteps of Fabian leaving and sat weakly on the chair.
He knew that Fabian could not be blamed for Lillian’s accident.
His emotions were very unstable. Lilian’s safety was still undetermined. As a father, he could only use such a way to vent out his dissatisfaction and sense of insecurity.
It was at this moment that the lights of the operating theater were turned off.
Kendrick got up and strolled to the doctor who was coming out. “Doctor, how’s my daughter doing? She’s bleeding heavily. Where is she injured? Will my daughter’s life be in danger?”
He kept bombarding the doctor with tons of questions, his eyes glistening with anxiety.
“The child’s back was grazed with metal scraps. She was bleeding a lot and in a rather critical phase. Fortunately, she was sent to the hospital just in time. For the time being, there’s no danger to her life.”
The doctor then let out a sigh.
“However, the child’s head has suffered from a serious concussion. We’ll have to wait till the child is awake before carrying out further examinations.”
Hearing the comment made Kendrick want to punch himself real hard.
He was blaming himself for stopping his footsteps earlier, or else, the little girl would not have been so absent-minded and stood there motionless.
If only he had run a bit faster and grabbed his kid away, then she would not have been involved in the explosion and got herself injured.
It was all his fault.
He was a failure as a father.
It was one thing he had never given his love to his kids, but he even got his kid into such danger.
Kendrick went to the VIP ward and stared at the doll-like face of the little girl who was unconscious. He hated himself.
He had been telling himself that since his time on this earth was limited, he should not acknowledge the little girl to prevent the kid from enduring further sufferings when he was gone.
However, he had forgotten that the little soul in there needed her father’s warmth and protection.
“Lillian, it’s my fault. When you’re awake, I’ll apologize to you.”
Kendrick held onto Lillian’s cold little hand, placing it over his lips and kissing it.
Looking at the pale kid, Kendrick lost all the courage to give Niamh a call.
He promised her that he would bring their kid back home safely, but currently, their little princess was lying on the hospital bed, passed out cold.
…
Niamh was on her way back to Waldburg Manor in Ryan’s car.
Along the journey, there was a time where she lost her consciousness.
Ryan did not wish for her to know about Adam’s whereabouts. Hence, he made her dizzy and knocked her out.
Before Niamh got down from the car, Ryan wound down the car window and reminded her. “Remember the things you’ve promised. If you can’t do it, you’ll never be able to get the third bottle of reagent.”
Niamh could only coldly glance at Ryan, who was threatening her, before heading into the house.
Under the dark blue night sky, Ryan stared at Niamh’s strong outline as his eyes gave off a victorious joy.
