Bigamy would be sentenced no matter where she was. When Kendrick thought about the word ‘prison’, he felt as if his head was going to explode from pain.
He would not allow Niamh to go back to that place.
No way.
Kendrick stayed in his car the whole night. He only closed his eyes to rest after he saw the lights in Niamh’s room turning off.
However, he could not have a peaceful sleep no matter what. He spent the night in the car while being in and out of sleep.
At dusk, Kendrick started to pay attention to the situation in Niamh’s room.
However, after a while, he received a call from Adam out of the blue.
After he heard what Kendrick said, he reluctantly looked in the direction of Niamh’s room before getting back to the car. “I’ll go over now. Tell him to stay put.”
After saying that to Adam, he turned his steering wheel and left.
Carter stood in front of the French window of the living room on the second floor as he watched Kendrick’s car leaving. Then, he turned around indifferently.
After Kendrick received Adam’s call, he rushed to the hospital immediately.
When he passed the corridor that would lead to the hospital room, he spotted a familiar figure standing dazedly in front of the door of a room at first glance. Plus, there were also two men in suits watching the door.
Kendrick quickly walked over. “Cathy.”
After saying that, Kendrick realized he just had a slip of the tongue.
“I’m sorry, Miss Young.” Kendrick quickly corrected himself.
“You didn’t get my name wrong. I am Cathy.” Cathy lifted her sad eyes and looked into Kendrick’s surprised eyes.
Kendrick was confused. When he was about to ask what was going on, Adam walked out of the room.
When he saw Kendrick, Adam looked as if he was letting out a sigh of relief. “Go in now. I think you should be able to buy some time for him.”
“Got it.” Kendrick expressed his acknowledgment. When he was about to go in, he heard Cathy asking worriedly.
“Is he really going to prison?”
Kendrick stopped in his tracks and turned around. He saw intense melancholy on Cathy’s face and in her eyes.
“Do you hope that he’ll go to prison or do you hope that he’ll be fine?” Kendrick gave Cathy a multiple- choice question.
Cathy stared blankly at Kendrick. At that instant, she did not know how to answer him.
Kendrick did not say anything after seeing her spacing out. He knocked on the door lightly before turning the doorknob to enter the room.
When the Interpol agent saw Kendrick while he was questioning Felipe, they greeted each other courteously.
Kendrick looked at Felipe who was lying on the bed. His entire body was wrapped in bandages, and his complexion looked horrible.
He did not know what Felipe had encountered to suffer such horrible injuries. However, at the end of the day, he was still his uncle and someone who was related to him by blood. As such, it was impossible for him to feel unmoved.
“Why are you hurt so badly? Who did this?” Kendrick furrowed his brows and asked.
“It’s the people from his previous company.” The Interpol agent at one side answered for Felipe. “We received an anonymous complaint, so we asked someone to come here to investigate.”
After he said that, he looked at Kendrick seriously.
“Mr. Waldburg, you’re also an Interpol agent. Did you know about the illegal business your uncle did in F Country and his relationship with the Stygian Johnson Gang?”
“Kendrick doesn’t know anything.” Despite having no energy, Felipe still sounded as if he was full of vitality when he said this.
He took a look at Kendrick and hinted at him with his eyes. Then, he continued speaking, “Everything I did in F Country, I did them alone. It has nothing to do with my family.”
“Are you admitting to your crimes right now?” The Interpol agent confirmed with Felipe with a serious look on his face.
Felipe lifted his lifeless and tired eyes. He could see those familiar eyes from the small window of the hospital door.
He smiled and nodded.
“That’s right. I’m admitting to all of the crimes I’ve committed including inciting someone to kill the woman I love the most.”
“…”
Kendrick was shocked by Felipe’s answer. His colleagues beside him were surprised as well. Then, the agent asked, “Did you say you incited someone to kill the woman you love? When did that happen? Why did you want to kill her?”
Felipe looked indifferent while facing all those questions.
He looked into those clear and beautiful eyes outside the window and there was a small warm smile on his pale face.
“She found out about my illegal business, so she collected the evidence of my crimes and was going to report me. I asked my men to shoot her in front of the door of the police station.”
After he said that, Felipe felt that his heart had taken a trip around purgatory.
He looked at Cathy who was standing at the door, and his eyes slowly turned red and hot.
After the Interpol agents who were here to arrest Felipe heard what he said, they felt that Felipe was involved in a much more serious crime.
This was murder.
“Felipe Waldburg, not only are you involved in illegal business, but you’re also involved in a murder. If everything goes according to plan, you’ll be spending the rest of your life in prison.”
The Interpol agent warned seriously.
“Felipe Waldburg, we’re going to arrest you for these two crimes. You have the right to hire a lawyer to help you with your case, but the chance of you winning is near to zero…”
“I plead guilty.” Before the person could finish talking, Felipe opened his mouth. “I plead guilty to all of the crimes.”
“Felipe.” Kendrick almost could not control himself as he said, “Cathy’s not dead. Amy is Cathy. You didn’t kill anyone.”
“Mr. Waldburg, are you saying that the victim of Felipe’s planned murder is still alive?” the Interpol agent asked in surprise.
Kendrick nodded in certainty. “Yes, that woman is still alive and well.”
“Where is she now?”
“She’s…”
“Kendrick,” Felipe called out to Kendrick, “I’ve admitted to my crimes, so there’s nothing to say now.”
After Felipe said that, the door of the room was pushed open.
“I’m here.”
Cathy walked in straight.
“I’m that woman and I’m not dead. Also, I don’t plan to sue this person.”
Felipe looked at Cathy who was walking toward him in surprise. He then sat up abruptly.
However, since his movements were too extreme, the wounds all over his body were affected.
He looked at her who was standing almost within reach in disbelief. He could see all of the cruel things he had done to her in front of his eyes.
Had she remembered?
Felipe’s heartbeat fell out of rhythm. He stared straight at this face and was hoping that he would be able to look into her eyes. However, Cathy was only looking at those Interpol agents who were going to arrest Felipe.
“Can I talk to him in private?”
The Interpol agents hesitated because, for them, Felipe was a serious criminal.
“Give them a few minutes. I can guarantee that he won’t run away.” Kendrick guaranteed for Felipe.
The two Interpol agents hesitated for a few seconds before agreeing.
“Just be quick about what you want to tell each other. We can give you two ten minutes max.”
Ten minutes.
Felipe felt that these ten minutes would be the most satisfying moments in his life. He would not have any regrets anymore even if he would be given the death penalty.
Kendrick and the two men left the room together. After they walked out, they saw Adam standing alone at the end of the corridor without saying anything. The melancholy between his eyebrows refused to go away no matter what.
Kendrick could guess what Adam was worried about. He turned around to look into the room through the transparent small window. Then, he walked over to worry about what was going on with Niamh right now.
Inside the room.
Felipe sat there motionlessly. His eyes were red as he sobbed and watched the woman who was walking toward him.
