This person was Fabian.
Presently, Fabian slowly walked in from the dining room. As he listened to Niamh recalling the urgency at that moment, he felt quite proud.
“When I called you, I couldn’t get through to you. Yet, when you called me, you said you were in the Stygian Johnson Gang’s house. So, I inferred that you couldn’t contact me because you were somewhere with a poor signal.
“Usually places with poor signals are basements, so I tried to find if there were basements in the Stygian Johnson Gang’s house. I didn’t expect there to be one.“
Fabian recalled the scene.
After listening to Fabian’s explanation, Kendrick smiled faintly. “You’re pretty smart too.“
“Of course, I’m smart. Otherwise, how can I live in such a big house now?“
Fabian’s eyes showed confidence that Kendrick and Niamh had never seen before.
“All I have now has nothing to do with the Stygian Johnson Gang. I also believe that I’ll be able to do better in the future.”
“In that case, Lily won’t suffer any hardships if she stays with you, right?”
Kendrick’s sudden sentence froze Fabian. Niamh was also stunned at one side. What did Kendrick mean?
“Kendrick, what do you mean? Are you willing to let Lily stay here with me?” Fabian asked immediately after he came back to his senses.
Kendrick smiled profoundly and said, “I’ll respect Lily’s wishes.”
He looked into Niamh’s beautiful eyes when he said that.
“What do you think, Nia?” “Um, yeah.” Niamh nodded and smiled after she was stuck in a daze. “I’ll respect her wishes too. If she’s willing to remain here, as her parents, we won’t object to that.”
Upon hearing Niamh’s answer, Fabian felt like he was dreaming.
How was that possible?
Kendrick and Niamh were not opposed to it?
Upon seeing the dazed Fabian, disbelief on his face, Shirley, as a bystander, also spoke up.
“Actually, even an outsider like me can see clearly that you really care about Lily, Mr. Johnson. With you taking care of her, I think any parent would be at ease.“
Upon hearing Shirley’s words, Fabian felt a little embarrassed.
“You should continue chatting, I ‘ll head back to the room first. I have to work out an antidote as soon as possible so that the rashes on Lily’s body disappear soon.“
Shirley said and turned the wheelchair.
Niamh glanced at Kendrick before following Shirley, “I’ll take you back to the room.“
Shirley wanted to refuse, but she figured that maybe Niamh had something to tell her, so she did not refuse.
After returning to the room, Shirley went straight to the desk.
Niamh saw the data that Shirley had studied in the past few days on the desk, and it could be seen that she was truly serious about developing an antidote.
“I’m sorry,“ Shirley apologized suddenly, “I really didn’t expect Carter to do this to Lily.“
“You don’t have to apologize to me. It was all Carter, and it has nothing to do with you, “ Niamh said calmly.
“How can it have nothing to do with me? I developed the test reagents. I was the one who developed all those harmful things. For example, the poison in Kendrick’s body and the anti-toxoid test reagent that was injected into your body back then.“
Shirley lowered her eyes guiltily.
“My parents and my younger brother used their talents to save people, but I have been harming people. But all of them left the world before me, and I, the evildoer, is still struggling on whilst at death’s door…“
She kept mocking herself and making cutting remarks at herself, but she was smiling bitterly as she shed tears.
“Is it right that the good people in this world won’t live long? The ones who should die the most are those evildoers who have lost their humanity.“
“Shirley, don’t blame yourself anymore. Regret is also the weakest and most useless emotion in the world.“
Niamh stepped forward to persuade her.
“Since God would make such arrangements, you should face the future positively. If you are capable, you should use your abilities to help or make up for those who you’ve harmed.“
After listening to what Niamh said, Shirley felt that it made sense.
She nodded and looked at the stack of researched data in front of her.
“Eveline, don’t worry, l’ll definitely not let your daughter endure the pain and torture that she shou1dn’t endure. Give me a little more time. I will work it out as soon as possible.“ Shirley made a firm promise.
“I trust that you will because you want to rush back to St. Piaf to see Carter, don’t you?“ Niamh smiled as she voiced what was in Shirley’s heart.
Shirley’s hand that had been raised to take the paper froze, and then she smiled without denying it.
“Yes, I have to go back. If he is guilty, I’m guilty too.“
Having said this, Niamh’s heart had another unsolved doubt.
“What happened with Ryan? What’s the relationship between Carter and Ryan?“
Upon hearing this, Shirley answered without hesitation.
“They had a business deal.“ “A business deal?“
“Yes, it had been that at first. But later, but after that, it deteriorated a bit,“ Shirley recalled. “In fact, Carter has always been in contact with the people of the Stygian Johnson Gang. He wanted the right to inherit the throne of the St. Piaf monarchy, which cost a lot of human strength, material, and financial resources. And so, he had improper business dealings with the Stygian Johnson Gang.”
“Ryan was still the highest administrative commander in Interpol at the time. So, Ryan used his position to help the Stygian Johnson Gang launder money, and he profited from it. Carter had always known about this, and he was also involved.
“Ryan was actually a very smart and excellent person. Carter was also very happy to work with him, and the cooperation had always been very pleasant, but then, Ryan slowly began to act differently, and the reason was you.“
Shirley raised her head as she said that. Her eyes locked on Niamh tightly.
Niamh frowned in confusion. “Because of me?“ “Yes, because Ryan fell in love with you.“
Shirley explained and sighed.
“It’s really hard for a person who’s blinded by love to think rationally. Speaking of which, Ryan and I are really similar. In the end, we both embarked on the path of self-destruction.“
Shirley chuckled and sighed, but she quickly emphasized again.
“Ryan’s death has nothing to do with you. I think Carter figured that Ryan’s presence had hindered his plan, so Carter decided to get rid of Ryan.“
After listening to all Shirley’s statements and explanations, Niamh smiled in relief.
“Thank you for emphasizing this.“
“Don’t thank me. Ryan’s death has nothing to do with you.“
“Nia.“
As soon as Shirley said that, Kendrick’s voice came from the entrance.
Niamh and Shirley looked at each other and stopped the conversation.
As Niamh walked out of the room and closed the door.
Niamh thought about what Shirley had told her just now, and she decided to tell Kendrick all about it.
“Kendrick, it turns out that Ryan and Carter…“
“I heard everything by the entrance just now, “ Kendrick parted his lips and explained. “I didn’t mean to eavesdrop, I just wanted to come to find you, and then I heard it coincidentally.“
Kendrick said. Suddenly, he let out a rueful sigh.
“In fact, they were all exceptional people, but they all had evil thoughts and went on the wrong path in the end.“
Surprised, Niamh looked at Kendrick who said this.
Unexpectedly, a male chauvinist like him would say something like that.
As if seeing through what Niamh was thinking, Kendrick then explained with a gentle smile, “I’d be lying if I said that I don’t hate them because these people have caused too much trouble for us and our family. But all of this has passed. I don’t want to pursue this anymore.“
Niamh also followed with a relieved smile, “I don’t want to either.“
She smiled and raised her arm to grab Kendrick’s arm and leaned on him adorably and helpless – looking.
“I want to live a peaceful and quiet life with you for the rest of my life, and we’ll raise the children together. I hope I won’t have to wait too long for this day.“
Kendrick raised his hand and gently rubbed Niamh’s cheek dotingly. “Nia, this day will come soon. “
“Okay.“
