They wanted to take care of Ava, but they did not have the confidence or courage to face the child whom they had hurt in the past.
Niamh understood how Neil and Raegan were feeling, she smiled and comforted them, “I’ve told Ava what happened back then. Despite looking like she’s reluctant to believe it, I can sense that she wants to reunite with you guys very badly.”
“Really?” Neil and Ragean’s excited voices almost startled Ava, who was in the ward.
They tried to control their emotions and looked expectantly at Niamh, hoping for her to give them a certain answer.
Niamh nodded with certainty. “It’s true. I’ve been friends with her for so many years. I can vaguely guess what she’s thinking in her heart.”
Neil and Raegan looked at each other. They were desperate for that day to come sooner.
Niamh did not stay for too long, she grabbed the empty thermos and went to the parking lot to drive home.
However, when she was about to get in the car, she saw a familiar figure from the side mirror.
She retracted her hand that was about to open the door and confidently turned to face the person who was silently approaching her. “Were you the one who followed me to the hospital just now?”
Niamh was calm. She did not have the slightest hint of fear or avoidance.
“I heard that you’ve already left. Why did you suddenly come back? You’re even following me now. Is there anything else you want to tell me?” Niamh asked directly with a slight smile.
Hannah looked at the calm smile on Niamh’s face, and her eyes sank. However, the next second, she also smiled.
“Yes, as you said, I’m very unwilling. Even if I really have to go back to st. Piaf, I have to say goodbye to my good ‘sister’ before leaving.”
Hannah obviously had something to say. when she said the word ‘sister’, it sounded extremely ironic.
Although Hannah’s eyes and words were full of strong dissatisfaction and unwillingness, and perhaps she still wanted to take revenge on Niamh, Niamh’s heart was inexplicably calm at this moment. There was not even the slightest fluctuation.
Niamh just smiled and nodded. “Well then, do you want to go to a nearby cafe to sit down and properly bade farewell?”
“No, I’m in a hurry. I don’t have time to chat with you.” Hannah’s tone sounded very unfriendly, and she was still as arrogant as ever.
“Well, since that’s the case, then say what you want to say here.” Niamh was also very straightforward.
Hannah frowned, she seemed to be bothered by Niamh’s calmness, but the next second, she suddenly smiled as if she was relieved.
“I really envy you.” Hannah’s eyes showed an envious look. “Your family loves you so much, especially the people you love. They love you so much too.”
Hearing Hannah’s words, Niamh’s heart was somehow moved.
“Eveline, in your eyes, I’m pathetic, right? I did that with Mr. Waldburg because I believed I was infallible, but it was actually just a trap set by others. What’s even more ridiculous is that I lied to myself for so long and refused to accept the reality. Heh.”
Hannah chuckled bitterly to herself.
“After I found out the truth about being fooled, I tried to feign madness and pretended to lose my memory to stay at your house. No matter what, I wasn’t convinced that I would lose just like this.” 2
“Then why did you suddenly decide to leave?” Niamh asked curiously.
“It’s because I feel like a clown.” Hannah smiled bitterly and walked in front of Niamh. The previous jealousy and hatred in her eyes were gone, leaving only a trace of envy.
“If I continue to stay in your house, I’ll just be inviting humiliation upon myself. Plus, I finally understand that I can’t force a relationship after seeing how Mr. Waldburg treats you. ”
Suddenly, Niamh felt sorry for the girl in front of her when she saw the serious expression on Hannah’s face.
However, everyone had to choose their own paths. Luckily, Hannah had an epiphany.
“What are your plans now? Are you going back to st. Piaf?” Niamh asked with a friendly smile.
“Yes, I bought a ticket for this afternoon.”
“Have a safe journey and arrive safely.” Niamh expressed her well wishes, but she still had some questions in her heart. “So you just want to tell me these after following me for so long?”
After she said that, Hannah was quiet for two seconds. Then, she said, “No, I also came here to thankyou.”
“Thank me?” Niamh was confused. However, she seemed to understand what Hannah was trying to say from her relieved tone.
“Thank you for helping me see myself clearly. If I could ’vé gotten rid of my stubborn opinions earlier, I wouldn’t have made myself look so much like a fool. Now that I think about it, I was indeed ridiculous. However, I only think I was ridiculous. I don’t wish to seek revenge or fight back. I’m treating this as a kind of growth.”
Hannah explained calmly, word by word.
“So, Eveline, thank you. I’ll never make a fool of myself again in the days to come.”
After saying this, Hannah curled her lips into an intriguing smile before turning around decisively.
After turning around and taking two steps, she looked back at Niamh who was standing there.
“There’s one more thing I forgot to say. I wish you and Mr. whitman a long and happy life.”
After giving this last blessing, Hannah walked forward freely and did not lookback.
Niamh looked at Hannah’s back, which was gradually disappearing, she did not forget to reply, “ Thank you.”
On the way back, Niamh still found it a little weird.
How did Hannah suddenly have an epiphany?
Something must have happened.
A person who hated her to the bone was suddenly relieved and unaffected. Something must have enlightened her.
Yet, Niamh could not think of the reason until she got home and heard Kendrick talk about what happened last night.
“Last night, she seemed to be watching the evening news in the living room when we were eating in the dining room,” Kendrick said as he recalled.
However, Niamh had no impression of it at all. She had been so tired these days that she would go days without noticing Hannah’s existence.
“What was the news reporting at the time?” Niamh asked Kendrick, raising her clear and watery eyes.
Kendrick raised his hand to put it around Niamh’s shoulder. He told her what he knew, “It was about Ava’s kidnapping and how the police went to save her.”
“Really?” Niamh was surprised, she did not expect the media to report this so quickly, she had not had the time to pay attention to the news on the internet since yesterday. 1
“So, she saw that and had a sudden change of heart?” Niamh guessed Hannah’s mood at the time and recalled the words she said in the parking lot.
“You can’t force a relationship.”
Kendrick shook his head. “Perhaps. Forget about her. Nia, why don’t we call Lily?”
“Alright, I miss Lily too.” Niamh smiled and leaned against Kendrick’s shoulder.
As she watched Kendrick take out his mobile phone and video called Fabian, Niamh could not help but wonder if Hannah was touched because the news talked about how Daniel had protected Ava at such a dangerous moment. Maybe it was the scene where Kendrick turned back and carried her that finally made Hannah realize that her obsession was just a joke.
Anyway, no matter what it was, she finally figured it out.
Soon, the notification sound of the video call being accepted pulled Niamh’s thoughts back. She saw Lillian’s cute little face on the screen at a glance. 1
Although Lillian still could not say anything else, she could still say ‘Mommy’ and ‘Daddy’.
Despite being separated by the screen, Niamh and Kendrick were still glad.
“Lily, how are you doing recently? Do you want to come home to see Mommy, Daddy, and your brothers?” Niamh asked with a gentle smile.
Lillian blinked her big watery eyes, when she was about to tell Niamh what she was thinking by gesturing, Fabian suddenly took away the phone. The screen was occupied by Fabian’s cool- looking and handsome face.
“Lily’s condition is not stable yet. she won’t be returning to Glendale for the time being.”
Fabian gave a very decisive answer, and his tone also sounded unfriendly. However, Niamh and Kendrick were used to Fabian’s attitude by now.
Of course, Niamh and Kendrick also understood that it was not that Fabian had a problem with them, but instead, he had grown.
The young master who used to be cynical had now become calmer and steadier.
That was why Niamh and Kendrick were comfortable letting Lillian stay with Fabian.
“Fabian, how’s Lily’s health recently?” Kendrick asked earnestly. The thing that he was concerned about the most was his precious princess’ health.
Fabian turned the camera of the phone around. Lillian’s cute baby face appeared on the screen again.
In the warmly decorated bedroom, the gentle warmth of the setting sun quietly scattered on Lillian’s fair little face. Small dimples accentuated both sides of her small mouth, she looked very energetic.
Niamh believed this was all due to Fabian.
“Fabian, Lily looks great. Thank you for taking such good care of my daughter,” Niamh thanked him.
“Don’t thank me. I didn’t do this all by myself. The person who spent the most effort and labor on Lily is my friend, but since he’s a doctor, this is his responsibility. There’s no need to thank him either.”
Fabian’s tone was very relaxed, but Niamh knew that Lily would not be in this current state if it were not for Fabian’s meticulous care.
“What’s wrong? Don’t you miss your daughter? You haven’ t called in the past few days. Are you busy with something?” Fabian asked in a very light tone.
