His attitude was still indifferent, and as soon as Niamh’s car drove away, the police car and ambulance arrived at the same time.
The injured police officer was immediately carried on a stretcher and sent to the hospital.
The police arrived in a hurry and saw Ryan pointing the gun at Kendrick, whose hands were full of blood.
“Mr. Jones, what’s going on?” the police officer in the lead asked.
Ryan glanced at Kendrick who had a terrible expression on his face as the man was being tortured by the poison. Then, he turned his head and said seriously to the police, “When he escaped from prison, Kendrick Waldburg stole my gun and killed a plainclothes police officer who was chasing him. As an agent from Interpol, I’m really sorry that I wasn’t able to stop him in time.”
Ryan looked guilty and regretful. “How is that police officer?”
“He’s on the way to the hospital. I hope he’ll be okay.” The police immediately took out a pair of handcuffs and clasped them over Kendrick’s wrists again. “Kendrick Waldburg, you’re suspected of murder and now you’ve escaped from prison. If anything happens to our colleague, you can just wait for the death penalty! Take him away now!”
Kendrick did not resist. Instead, he looked at Ryan with hatred and endured the pain while he was taken to the police car.
Ryan was very satisfied as he watched this scene.
Originally, he wanted to take the opportunity to get rid of Kendrick by accusing him of escaping from prison, but he did not expect Niamh to appear.
This ending might not be too bad.
Kendrick would inevitably be sentenced to death for escaping prison and killing a police officer.
Ryan followed them to the police station and made a statement.
As soon as he was done, he heard a police officer sighing in the lobby.
“Zeke is dead.”
“I really couldn’t tell that Kendrick Waldburg is such a heinous person.”
“The young master of the number one wealthy family in Glendale my *ss! He’s an animal!”
A group of police officers gathered around and scolded Kendrick angrily.
Ryan curled his lips quietly, satisfied with the news.
The police officer was really really dead.
How could one still be alive if you were shot in the heart?
Ryan left the police station with a smile. When he returned to his place, the rain had stopped.
He originally thought that Niamh would go back to Waldburg Manor after leaving, but he did not expect that she would come back here.
Ryan walked into the living room. Then, he heard a loud crash as if something was smashed.
He frowned in confusion and quickly walked in. However, he was stunned by what he saw in front of him.
“Eveline!”
He quickly ran to the drunk Niamh who was kneeling on the ground and helped her up.
Niamh pushed him away. “Leave me alone!”
She picked up the bottle of red wine and downed it directly.
She was still wearing the clothes from earlier and her body was wet. Her hair and her eyes were wet as well.
“Why did he tell me such a thing? Why?” Niamh cried and complained, “I can endure everything as long as he’s well. Why did he suddenly say he’s tired now?”
Niamh laughed bitterly at herself. “How many years has it been? How many years have I loved this man?” she asked herself as she raised her red tearful eyes to look at Ryan while frowning.
“I liked him the moment I saw him. He hurt me and traumatized me in all those years but I forgave him. However, what happened in the end? Heh…”
Niamh smiled sarcastically. “At the end of the day, a man’s family will never be as important as his career. Women are just accessories in a man’s life. The things you want the most are reputation, rights, and statuses, right?”
She looked at Ryan with a tearful smile before picking up the bottle of red wine again to down it.
Ryan grabbed the wine bottle in Niamh’s hand and threw it aside. Then, he held Niamh’s wretched crying face in his hands. His long eyebrows were deeply knitted together and his face looked serious.
“He hurt you so much. You shouldn’t forgive him.
“Eveline, stop thinking about that man. Try to let me into your heart instead. I will love you sincerely and cherish you.”
“Heh. Hehehe…”
Niamh pushed Ryan’s hand away before opening another bottle of wine. Then, she took a few sips.
“Will you love me sincerely? Ryan, don’t you think you’re being very hypocritical when you say that? The man who used to risk his life for me is now abandoning me for his family and honor. Will you? Will you treat me well and do everything for me?”
Ryan took Niamh’s hand tightly and looked into her teary eyes.
“I will.”
Niamh was stunned for a moment when she received such a certain answer.
Ryan lifted his hand and pushed her wet hair away to look at her cheeks that were reddened by the alcohol. Then, he wiped her tears away pitifully.
“Eveline, forget about Kendrick. Instead of loving a man who will only make you suffer, why not give yourself a chance to regain happiness?”
After she heard this, Niamh looked at Ryan’s expectant eyes dumbfoundedly.
She closed her eyes and suddenly lost consciousness as she collapsed on his shoulder.
Ryan hugged Niamh and kissed her hair softly. “As long as you can forget Kendrick, I’ll definitely make you the happiest woman in the world.”
He returned to the room with Niamh in his arms and got the maid to clean Niamh up and change her clothes. Afterward, he personally helped Niamh dry her hair before he went back.
When Niamh woke up the next day, the maid smiled and came into the room to serve her. Then, she told her in a particularly ambiguous manner, “Madam, you were drunk last night and he was so worried about you. He asked for my help in the middle of the night and even helped you dry your hair. He didn’t sleep the entire night, and now he’s working in the study again.”
After hearing what the maid said, Niamh immediately got up to wash up before going downstairs to make a cup of coffee. Then, she walked to the door of the study.
The door of the study was open. Ryan was sitting at his desk wearing a pair of rimless glasses. It seemed that he had not noticed her yet.
“Can I come in?” Niamh asked.
Ryan saw Niamh standing at the door holding a cup of coffee and immediately got up. “You’re awake.”
“Yeah.” Niamh nodded and walked slowly to the desk. She handed the coffee to Ryan. “Thank you for last night.”
Ryan was taken aback and felt a little unsure. “Thank me? Shouldn’t you be hating me?”
Niamh shook her head. “Ryan, I want to discuss something with you seriously.”
Seeing Niamh’s serious appearance, Ryan put down the cup of coffee and looked at Niamh curiously. “What do you want to talk to me about?”
Niamh looked down slightly before turning around and walking to the French window. “Last night, I was so defeated and it was difficult for me to accept his cold-heartedness. Maybe you’re right and I should let it go. Maybe this marriage between me and Kendrick has just been one-sided this whole time.”
Ryan looked at Niamh’s back thoughtfully.
“So what you want to discuss with me is…”
“I don’t know what kind of punishment he’ll face next. I only hope that if he really has to die, at least he won’t be in so much pain in the days before the execution.”
Ryan gradually understood Niamh’s meaning. “You want me to give Kendrick the anti-toxoid test reagents?”
“Yes. Regardless of the verdict, I hope you can give him the reagents.”
Niamh turned around. Her misty and beautiful eyes seemed to have a magical power that caused Ryan to be absent-minded.
“I know he may not appreciate it, just like when he knew how I sacrificed myself to meet you to get the reagents for him. He would rather suffer in pain and refuse to let me inject him. He even threw the remaining last three bottles away.”
She sighed with a sad smile. “This may be his ego as a man, but whether he accepts it or not, this is the last thing I want to do for him.”
After listening to Niamh’s words, Ryan seemed to be lost in thought.
He seemed to be thinking about something. Then, he turned around to walk to the safe and entered the password in front of Niamh. After that, he took out the reagent and handed it to Niamh.
“Give this to him.”
Niamh looked at Ryan in disbelief. “Are you really willing to give this to me?”
“Since this is the last thing you want to do for him, I don’t want to disappoint you.” Ryan looked at Niamh with a warm smile.
Niamh slowly raised her hand and took the reagent.
The reagent was so light, but it felt extremely heavy when she got it in her hands.
“Thank you.” Niamh thanked him while her eyes slowly turned red. “In fact, I saw you putting the reagent in the safe that day, so I sneaked in to try to open the safe but failed.”
