Daniel was observing from a corner. He could not explain the sense of relief he was feeling when he heard Niamh’s reply to Kendrick.
He finally came to understand that the person who could hurt Niamh so badly was the same person who she really loved.
Ava attempted to stop Niamh but was halted by Eloise and Sean. “Miss Ava, just let Eveline be.”
Ava clenched her teeth and suppressed her feelings, afraid that she might aggravate Niamh’s illness.
On the journey back, Ava was feeling grumpy in Daniel’s car. “Dan, why didn’t you speak a word earlier? Niamh will definitely be tortured to death if she returns to the grasp of that devil, Kendrick
Waldburg!”
She let out a sigh. “Is Niamh’s intelligence ruined because of her appearance? She doesn’t want to be with such a good man like you or a gentleman like Felipe. She chooses that cold-blooded scumbag instead. She’s really out of her mind!”
Daniel let out a smile. “Perhaps this is the part of love where most find it hard to resist.”
“Hmph, this is not love. Just you wait and see. Wait till Niamh gets her memories back and she’ll come to hate Kendrick so much!”
Daniel glanced at Ava who was still infuriated. “Then, how about we make a bet?”
“Bet?”
“Yeah.” He nodded his head slightly. “I bet Niamh will love Kendrick more after she recovers her memories.”
“What?” Ava’s eyes widened as she waved her hand, irritated. “You’re mad! Dan, you’re out of your mind!”
Dan just let out a smile as he drove away from the scene. The leaves that were hovering in the air came stumbling on the ground again, leaving behind miraculous suspense.
The sky turned dark, and both Niamh and Kendrick were still at Montgomery Manor.
Eloise and Sean dared not long for happiness as one complete family. However, their eyes turned red whenever they heard Niamh greeting them as her parents.
Niamh got to know from Kendrick that other people had deliberately taken her away when she was young. Since then, she parted from her biological parents.
She had no recollection of the hurtful things both Eloise and Sean had done to her in the past. At that moment, all she could feel was the love from her parents.
After dinner, Kendrick started the engine of his car and drove Niamh and Jackson back home.
Niamh was carrying the little kid who had dozed off. She stared at him, admiring his little face.
‘Jack looks gorgeous.
‘His brows look just like Kendrick’s.
‘His eyes, I think they look like mine?’
Niamh chuckled.
‘This is Kendrick’s and my kid.
‘Six years. I didn’t expect myself to lose six whole years of memories.’
…
The next day after sending Jackson to school, Niamh took the initiative to make a trip to the hospital.
As he was feeling perturbed, Kendrick brought Niamh to the hospital.
He held her hand. The warmth he was feeling made him fear losing the sweetness he was experiencing.
After a thorough check-up, Adam scanned through the report earnestly and said seriously, “This is the only way for the time being. If you want to recover her memories faster, the only way is to use a much more aggressive method to stimulate her, but this method might make her condition even worse.”
Following the doctor’s comment, Kendrick’s expression darkened as he would not want to take the risk.
He feared that not only would Niamh not get any better, but she would forget his existence for good.
He would rather have her hate him than to have her memories wiped off forever.
On their way home, Kendrick received a message from Adam. There were things that were not convenient to be said in the office. Besides, it would be better not to let Niamh know about it.
Adam’s message to Kendrick was that Niamh was currently having a double personality. One of them was in love with Kendrick while the other was holding a grudge against him. Both of them were not on the same page and would go to the extreme. Only during certain circumstances would a particular personality be expressed.
Kendrick had already figured out the certain circumstances that Adam mentioned.
It was when there was a heavy blow or if there was a sudden crashing sound.
The only way to make Niamh recover completely would be to awaken her dominant personality.
Kendrick read through the message, then turned to look at Niamh.
A selfish thought flashed through his mind. He wished for Niamh to forget all about the unpleasant past forever. From then on, only happiness would have existed in her life.
“Kendrick, I want to pay my grandpa a visit. Let’s take a trip back to the old house.” Niamh suddenly suggested.
Kendrick came to a halt, then explained. “Nia, there are some changes that happened in the old house and someone else has bought it. Grandpa got ill as well.”
After hearing this, Niamh was shocked. “Then where’s Grandpa now? Kendrick, let’s get Grandpa back to our villa. I want to take care of him.”
Kendrick was caught by surprise but soon nodded with a gentle smile. “Alright, we’ll go get Grandpa and get him to stay with us.”
After over ten minutes, his car came to a halt at a district building. Then, he led Niamh up the building.
Karen had pushed the task of wiping the old master’s body to Yvonne. Just when she was about to head out to go shopping, she saw Kendrick and Niamh walking to her. They were both behaving intimately.
She thought she had seen an illusion and rubbed her eyes, only to witness clearly the two outlines that were inching closer.
Karen was about to scold and curse. However, Niamh saw her and called out, “Mom.”
???
Karen was thrown for a loop.
She was sure that Niamh’s tone and the smile on her face did not seem to be teasing her.
‘Did she really lose her memories?’
Karen thought to herself as she trailed them when she saw Kendrick bringing Niamh into the house.
Meanwhile, Yvonne got fed up and threw the towel to Old Master Waldburg while cursing at him.
“Jesus! You’re annoying! Why aren’t you dead yet?! Who do you think you are to make me clean your face and feet every day?! If not for Kendrick, I wouldn’t…”
The door suddenly flung open when she was cursing.
Yvonne was thunderstruck to see that it was Kendrick. She quickly put on a smile on her face. “Kendrick, you… You’re back.”
She smiled, trying to get closer to Kendrick, but the smile on her face vanished the moment she saw Niamh following closely behind him.
Kendrick ignored Yvonne and walked to the front of the wheelchair. He grabbed onto the old master’s icy hands and whispered, “Grandpa, Nia and I will bring you home to stay with us. You’ll be better in no time.”
Niamh was about to head over when she noticed Yvonne staring hard at her. “I think we’ve met somewhere before, right?”
“Hmph.” Yvonne gave an awful reply, “Why are you putting on an act? How dare you show up after what you’ve done to Grandpa? Do you think you’ll be able to make the fact that you harmed Grandpa vanish into thin air just by pretending to have your memories wiped off?!”
Niamh was confused. “What are you talking about? I harmed Grandpa?”
“Don’t listen to her nonsense, Nia. How’s it possible that you harmed Grandpa?” Kendrick glared at Yvonne, giving her a warning. “Stop talking gibberish in front of Niamh.”
“Kendrick, I’m just stating the fact! It’s this lady who harmed Grandpa. It’s all thanks to her that Grandpa is now paralyzed!”
Yvonne was serious about her slander while wiping off the tears on her face.
“These days, I give my everything to taking care of Grandpa, cleaning his face and washing his feet. Despite Grandpa not being able to talk, I know he knows it. There are a few times when I asked Grandpa whether it was Niamh who harmed him and he blinked his eyes, which is to say he agreed!”
Just when Yvonne was using the old master’s name to accuse Niamh, the old master suddenly voiced out. His rough right hand was shaking as he pointed to Yvonne, and with all his might, he said, “You…”
No one expected the old master to speak up during that moment.
This left Yvonne’s mouth wide open as her face went pale white.
‘Didn’t everyone say that this old man is already paralyzed and won’t be able to talk or walk till the day he steps into his grave? Why is he showing a reaction at this timing?
‘All this while, I’ve been cursing and insulting him. Won’t everything come to light?’
“Grandpa.” Kendrick was extremely delighted as he spun around and returned to the old master’s side. “Grandpa, are you able to move? What do you want to say?”
The old master’s eyes were enormous as he gave his all to voice out, but they heard no words in the end.
However, with effort, he extended his shaking right index finger and pointed ahead.
Yvonne, who saw the scene, quickly took a step back and sneered, “Look, Kendrick. Grandpa is pointing toward this woman. Grandpa’s trying to say it’s this woman who caused him to end up in this state!”
