Frustrated, he looked at the scenery outside the window to distract himself. The sky was blue, but his feelings were gloomy.
Many years had passed, but he never once loved her wholeheartedly.
In the years when she was willing to sacrifice everything for him, Kendrick let her down and eventually even left a crack in their relationship.
Now, Niamh was still willing to put her life on the line for him, but what about him?
Perhaps it was his frustrated feelings, or maybe it was the poison in his body, but Kendrick needed to calm himself down and made his way to the smoking zone.
However, after taking out a cigarette, he recalled Niamh’s reminder.
“Kendrick, stop smoking. Smoking is not good for your body. I don’t wish to see anything else happening to you. I want you to be healthy.”
Her voice was like a summer breeze, tickling his ears. It was as if he was still able to hear it crystal clear.
“I’ll listen to you, Nia.” Kendrick stared at the wedding ring passionately before turning around and leaving the smoking zone.
As soon as he left, the plane suddenly shook vigorously and tilted about 45 degrees.
Kendrick did not have enough time to grab the bar above. His body slanted and he knocked his head hard against the wall of the cabin.
The plane was still shaking vigorously. Kendrick wanted to pull himself away from the ground by holding the railing, but suddenly, he felt dizzy. The scene before him became blurry…
He saw Montgomery Manor from his memory, and the fierce flames were reflected in his orbs. Just when the fire was quickly spreading, he saw two silhouettes. They belonged to Eloise and Sean!
Kendrick’s pupils suddenly shrunk as the memory that he lost came flashing in his mind!
After Ryan left, Niamh was left alone in the room.
The maids came in once again and delivered the first aid kit and a splendid meal of western cuisine.
Niamh looked at her finger which was still bleeding. She knew that she possessed a rare blood group and did not want to continue bleeding.
“Let me help you, Madam.” The young maid was very friendly and came over politely, hoping to offer Niamh a helping hand.
Niamh realized she had acted rashly earlier after recalling the incident. She should remain calm as that was the only way to escape from Ryan’s grasp.
“Alright.” Niamh nodded. “Sorry for troubling you with this.”
The maid happily went ahead and helped Niamh dress her wound after noticing that Niamh was not strongly resisting like earlier.
With utmost respect, she squatted beside Niamh and took out the alcohol and cotton swab to clean the wound.
Niamh stared at the maid, who was cleaning her wound with a serious look on her face, and asked with a calm tone, “What’s your name?”
“My name’s Sandy,” the maid replied with a smile. Then, she pointed at another maid who was busy cleaning the floor. “She’s Jess. We were both specially hired to take care of you, Madam.”
‘Sandy, Jess.’
Niamh thought to herself before asking again, “Sandy, where is this place?”
“This is the master’s holiday villa in Y County. Don’t you know about it?” Sandy blinked her innocent big eyes as she stared at Niamh as if she was puzzled.
‘Y Country?
‘This is Y Country?
‘Wait a second.’
Niamh suddenly recalled Ava’s words that Ava’s mother was the richest person in Y Country!
‘Is this an opportunity given to me to escape from Ryan’s control?
‘But I think Ava’s mother is currently in Glendale.’
The thought of it extinguished the flame of hope within her.
“Madam, your injury has been properly bandaged. For the time being, please don’t get water on it, or else your injury will be inflamed.” Sandy reminded her while placing the meal on the table. “Please have your meal, Madam. We’ll be waiting outside. Just summon us whenever you need anything.”
Niamh stared at the western cuisine and realized she had no other choice.
“Thanks.”
The two maids were delighted. “This is our responsibility. You don’t have to express your gratitude to us, Madam.”
The two maids said simultaneously, then left the room with faint smiles.
‘Judging from their way of action and speech, it seems they’ve undergone special training. They don’t look like any ordinary maids.”
Niamh was lost. ‘Just who the hell is Ryan?
‘And about the thing he told me earlier…’
“Do you know why I hate Kendrick so much? Do you even know what place this is?”
‘Why does he hate Kendrick that much?’
Niamh could not figure out the reason for it, but from what she had seen, Ryan had a motive behind everything he did. He seemed bent on against Kendrick.
“Kendrick.”
Niamh held the wedding ring on her ring finger and frowned.
“I know that you’ll be able to find me. I promise you, I’ll take good care of myself before you manage to find me. I’ll be waiting for you,” she muttered to herself. She glanced at the meal before her. Despite not having the appetite to eat, she still forced herself to fill up her stomach.
She needed the strength to fight against Ryan!
…
In the study room.
Ryan’s long fingers were holding onto the new reagent created by Adam.
After having a look at it, his expression darkened.
“I’ve already injected her twice, but the effect doesn’t seem to be as wonderful as what you said,” Ryan said in a cold tone. It seemed that he was not satisfied with the outcome.
Adam took his sweet time and said, “The effect of this reagent varies between individuals. If Niamh has a very firm determination, then it might cause the reagent to not perform to its full potential.”
He paused for a moment before continuing with confidence, “But no matter what, we’ll still be able to achieve our ultimate goal.”
Ryan raised his brows, his eyes no longer giving off a soothing vibe. Instead, it was replaced by a gleam of evil.
“Oh yeah, I got the news. Kendrick’s in Y Country,” Adam said.
Ryan was not surprised. “I knew he’d come to Y Country. It was just a matter of time. But he’ll never be able to find this place.”
His expression became stony. He put down the reagent and gradually got up. Even his orbs were looking stony as well.
“The number one young master of Glendale… I want to see just how good he is.”
He raised his gaze proudly and chuckled.
Ding dong.
Someone was gently knocking on the door of the study. Then, he heard the voice of the maids reporting, “Master, I’ve dressed Madam’s injury and she’s having her meal now.”
Hearing the report made Ryan’s icy cold smile look more soothing.
He looked at Adam. “Go get the things prepared to inject her with the third dose.”
Adam glanced at Ryan, then replied, “Alright, I’ll go prepare the things now.”
Ryan nodded with satisfaction and walked to the room where Niamh was.
Niamh was having her meal when her peripheral vision caught sight of a female outline.
She thought it was the maid but did not expect it to be Naomi who showed up.
Niamh gradually placed the cutleries down and looked at her with a puzzled expression. “Why are you here as well?”
“Hmph,” Naomi sneered and walked over to Niamh with a scornful look. “You said the man who you love most is Kendrick, but here you are, having a pleasant meal with Ryan instead. You’re so disgusting, Eveline, for wanting to dominate both of them!”
Naomi got more and more exasperated.
“Three perfect men from three affluent families of Glendale. They’re all somehow connected to you! You’re the worst woman I’ve ever met in my life!”
Niamh could comprehend her feelings after listening to Naomi’s envious and jealous tone.
She did not want to argue with Naomi. She picked up her cutleries again and continued enjoying her meal, her pretty lips pulled into a smirk.
