The clanging sound of something falling onto the ground then followed.
Niamh, who suddenly had a thought, immediately turned around and looked back, and then she saw bright red blood dripping down from Hannah’s left wrist and the blood-stained fruit knife which had already fallen to the ground.
In barely a moment, Hannah’s face turned pale. She gritted her teeth and glared hatefully at Niamh. “ Eveline, if I die, you’re the murderer.”
After gritting her teeth and saying these words, her body gradually fell limp to the ground.
With Hannah’s life at stake, Niamh did not care about Hannah’s unreasonable and savage behavior, and she strode forward and held Hannah instead.
However, Hannah broke away from Niamh.
“I don’t need your help, Eveline. Stop being so hypocritical. You just want me to die!”
Hannah pulled Niamh’s sleeve with all her strength.
“Everyone, look. This woman, Eveline Montgomery, is the one who forced me to my death! It’s all because I had a one-night stand with her husband.”
“Gosh…”
Many passersby who did not know the truth were speechless when they heard Hannah’s words.
“Is she telling the truth?”
“How is it possible? Mr. Waldburg loves Ms. Montgomery so much. How could he be a womanizer?”
“ If it weren’t true, why would the woman slit her wrist to kill herself in front of everyone? The cost of this slander is too huge. She might even die because of this.”
Upon hearing the doubts being voiced out around her, Hannah lifted the corners of her lips secretly.
She knew she was halfway there with her act.
She still wanted to say something to add fuel to the fire, but the blood loss caused her to slowly slip out of consciousness.
In the next second, Hannah passed out on Niamh.
Niamh immediately took off her white coat and tied it on Hannah’s bleeding wrist.
Since they happened to call for an ambulance not long ago, the medical staff rushed over to ask questions and carried Hannah, who was in a coma, onto a stretcher.
Niamh stood in place and stared in the direction in which the medical staff hurriedly left. Her expression was slightly solemn.
However, what she was worried about was not how the onlookers would think of her or doubt her. She was instead worried about whether Hannah truly wanted to struggle to the death.
It was just love at first sight, why did she have such a deep obsession with Kendrick?
However, after thinking about it, Niamh felt that it was understandable.
Although Hannah had a terrible temper, she had said that it was her first time, and her heart probably had grievances and lacked reconciliation.
What about it then?
After all, Hannah was just being used by Carter.
Moreover, she was aware of this when this happened.
Kendrick should be the one who was the most wronged.
As Niamh thought about that, Coco hurried over with a wet wipe. “Ms. Montgomery, there’s a lot of blood on your clothes.”
Niamh looked at the bloodstain on her sleeves. This was not something wet wipes could get rid of.
She smiled calmly and turned around. “Let’s get back to work.”
“Okay, ” Coco answered and followed Niamh to the elevator.
However, before they could take another step, reporters suddenly appeared to block Niamh. “Mr. Montgomery, is the woman telling the truth?” “Mrs. Waldburg, did Mr. Waldburg have an affair?”
With questions tailing her, Niamh had to stop. Nevertheless, she merely smiled calmly and magnanimously and then spoke to the camera.
“In recent years, you’ve seen a lot of melodrama and even unbelievable news about me and my husband, but what happened in the end?”
Niamh asked with a small smile.
“It should be very clear to all of you, isn’t it?”
The reporters looked at each other tactfully, and one of them asked, “Mrs. Waldburg, are you saying that the woman deliberately came here to cause trouble and discredit Mr. Waldburg and that in fact, nothing happened between Mr. Waldburg and her?”
Upon hearing this reporter’s words, Niamh was slightly startled for two seconds.
She was not good at lying, and the memory of what happened between Kendrick and the maid was indeed playing in her head.
“Mrs. Waldburg, why are you not answering?”
“Could it be true that the woman actually slit her wrist to commit suicide? It didn’t seem like acting.
Who would risk their life to put up an act?” The reporter tentatively asked Niamh again.
Niamh immediately came back to her senses. “ You’ll need to take legal responsibility for defamation. I’m already making myself very clear now, aren’t I?”
Upon hearing Niamh’s words, the reporters did not dare to continue asking.
No one dared to go up to stop her when they saw her turning around coolly.
After returning to the office, Niamh changed into the spare set of clothes she had in the room.
As soon as she came out after changing her clothes, she heard the ringing of a specific ringtone.
Kendrick was calling her. Although it was a nice melody, Niamh felt inexplicably agitated when she heard it.
Niamh picked up the phone and swiped the answer button. Soon after, Kendrick’s low and gentle voice, laced with worry and anxiety, could be heard.
“Nia, is something wrong with the company?” he asked. “Someone called me just now, and I also saw some news on the Internet. The maid…”
“Yeah.” Niamh nodded in response. “She found us and said that she wanted you to be responsible for her. She had also made a fuss downstairs in the company. She slit her wrist and committed suicide in front of many onlookers.”
“Suicide by slitting her wrist?” Kendrick was surprised. “Nia, wait for me. I’ll come over to you now.”
“Don’t, ” Niamh refused. “You’re still recuperating from your leg injury. Don’t run around any further. I’ll go back soon. Don’t worry about me.”
Niamh said gently.
“Kendrick, leave this to me. Just get better and don’t worry. Be a good boy.”
After Niamh said that, she hung up the phone.
She knew Kendrick must be very worried, but she was also worried about him.
He had a gunshot wound on his leg; he could not run around during this period.
Niamh grabbed her bag to head out. Expecting there to be a lot of reporters and onlookers downstairs, she went straight to the basement and drove out in her car.
She found out which hospital Hannah was in, and then she immediately went over.
When she arrived at the hospital, Niamh found the doctor who treated Hannah.
The doctor told Niamh that Hannah was stable and that her life was not in danger. Presently, Hannah was lying in bed.
Niamh thanked the doctor and then walked to the hospital room.
However, before she got there, Niamh saw, from a distance, that there were a lot of reporters by the room’s entrance.
Niamh understood that these people were here for more information.
They wanted to know something more exciting from Hannah’s end. They were also hoping to prove what Hannah said was true so that their write -ups would be very valuable.
Without thinking about it too much, Niamh grabbed her phone and turned around to dial a number.
“Hello, I am a family member of patient 1201. I don’t know why it is so noisy outside of the adjacent room. It’s so noisy that my relative can’t even rest. Please ask someone to deal with it as soon as possible.”
Soon after receiving Niamh’s complaint, the hospital called the security guard to drive the reporters away.
A few minutes later, the entrance to the room was instantly quieter.
Presently, Niamh walked over to the door to the room. Through the small window on the door, she saw Hannah lying on the bed, resting comfortably.
She was not in a coma, but she was rather energetic. At the moment, she even had a smile on her face when she looked at her wrist that was wrapped in gauze.
Niamh raised her hand and knocked on the door lightly before pushing it open to enter.
Hannah looked up and saw Niamh. The smile on her face froze for a few seconds before returning to normal.
