Niamh’s eyes suddenly lit up. “Kendrick, I’m here!” she yelled to him. Seeing that the other thugs were distracted, she immediately broke free from their shackles and ran to Kendrick.
Sensing Niamh’s presence approaching, Kendrick stretched out his arms based on his senses. He hugged Niamh nervously. “Nia? Nia, is it really you?”
“It’s me,” Niamh responded. In the next second, she felt Kendrick hugging her so tightly that she could hear the sound of his strong heartbeat. Her nose was surrounded by the scent of his body.
As soon as Kendrick hugged Niamh, he felt that her clothes were torn.
His gaze suddenly became cold. He took off his jacket and put it on Niamh. “Nia, why are you here?”
“I told you, I have something to talk to you about,” Niamh answered calmly.
“Nate, are you alright?”
“F*ck! Where did the pretty boy who stole our woman come from?”
“Nate, they seem to be a couple!”
The two other thugs looked at Kendrick’s extremely handsome and unusually cold face. They were feeling a little frightened, but the head, Nate, got even more arrogant.
“I don’t care if they’re a couple or not, I must fck this woman today! I must fck her even if this pretty boy is her husband!”
How could Kendrick tolerate a man using such vulgar and frivolous words about Niamh’s body? His eyes sank, and his words were like ice.
“Although you guys have simple minds and simple limbs, you have good vision. She’s indeed my wife.”
His voice fell, and with his sensitive hearing, he knocked the three hooligans to the ground with thunderous force.
“Ow, ow!” The b*stard named Nate yelled, blood oozing from the corner of his mouth.
Kendrick retracted his hand and once again embraced Niamh in his arms, spreading wings of shelter over her.
The rain gradually got heavier, but Niamh felt a warm current passing from Kendrick’s body to hers. This warmth made her feel inexplicably at ease.
Although blinded, Kendrick’s eyes were still sharp and were dyed with a breathtaking vibe.
“If you don’t want to die, apologize to my wife immediately.”
His commanding tone made the three hooligans tremble.
When the one named Walter was about to apologize, one of them suddenly realized that Kendrick’s eyes were a little off.
“Nate, I think this pretty boy is blind.”
“What? A blind man?”
“Haha… Then what are you afraid of him for?”
The man named Nate suddenly pulled out a switchblade from his trouser pocket.
Under the moonlight, the blade glowed with a cold silver light. The sharp tip of the knife was aimed at Kendrick.
Niamh was about to tell Kendrick when she realized that he was holding her tighter.
“Kendrick, they have a knife.” She raised her eyes to look at him. From this angle, the curve of his chin was graceful and resolute while his face was full of cold loftiness. However, the corners of his eyes and brows were softened.
“Don’t be afraid, I’m here.”
He calmed her worried heart softly.
“I won’t let anyone touch a hair on you. Trust me.”
When his voice fell, the three gangsters could not hold back.
“Pretty boy, let me show you how great I am now!” The hooligan sneaked over with the blade.
Kendrick tightened his arms for fear that Niamh would get hurt if she got out of his embrace.
Niamh did not expect Kendrick’s reaction to be so strong even when he could not see.
Those three hooligans were no match for Kendrick at all and were all beaten to the ground in two or three moves.
“Apologize to my wife,” he commanded in a cold voice, his sharp sword-like gaze shooting straight over.
The three hooligans were so frightened that they did not dare to mess with him anymore. They apologized in a panic. “Lady, we’re sorry. We didn’t know.”
“Sorry, please spare our miserable lives!”
“We’re sorry, so sorry…”
Seeing the three kneeling down and begging for mercy, Niamh glanced at them indifferently. “Kendrick, I have something to talk to you about. Let’s go back first.”
Kendrick nodded and turned around with Niamh.
However, as soon as she turned and walked a few steps, Niamh heard movement behind them.
When she looked back, the b*stard named Nate was holding the blade and waving it toward Kendrick with an unresigned expression.
“Be careful!” Niamh called out, her heartbeat almost rising to her throat at the moment.
Kendrick had instinctively stretched out his hand to protect Niamh while the hooligan swiped the blade down and struck Kendrick’s arm.
“Kendrick!”
Seeing that Kendrick had been cut, Niamh suddenly remembered something. She took out the self- defense spray that Jackson had given from her pocket and sprayed it on the man who was laughing wildly.
The man immediately screamed and covered his eyes that were stung by the pepper spray.
Niamh unceremoniously raised her foot and kicked the man in his lower half.
“Ow!”
With that move, the man threw away his blade in pain and rolled onto the ground with a pale face.
“Get lost!”
Niamh denounced aggressively.
The other two saw this scene and were so scared that they turned and left.
Niamh immediately called the police, but after seeing the blood still running from Kendrick’s arm and how it was raining, she was not patient enough to wait for the police to arrive. As such, she took Kendrick to the car.
“I’ll take you to a health center nearby to bandage the wound.”
“How did you know that there’s a health center nearby?”
Niamh was also surprised when Kendrick asked this all of a sudden.
Yeah, how would she know?
However, it was a truth in her memory.
Without delay, she took Kendrick to the health center based on what she remembered.
When they came out after treating the wound, it was raining even heavily.
Just then, Niamh received a call from Felipe. He was asking her where she was.
Niamh glanced at Kendrick who was standing beside her and said, “I’m with a friend, and there’s something I need to settle.”
Felipe did not ask who this friend was, but he had guessed that Niamh was with Kendrick.
After hanging up the call, Niamh held up an umbrella for Kendrick.
“Let’s go, Mr. Waldburg.” She reminded, stepping onto the sidewalk.
“I’m sorry to trouble you, Miss Montgomery.” He had switched back to this unfamiliar term of address.
Niamh chuckled. “You don’t have to be so polite with me, Mr. Waldburg. You were blinded saving me and the wound on your arm is also because of me. It’s not bothersome at all for me to just hold the umbrella for you now.”
When Kendrick heard this, he did not know if it was a misperception, but Niamh sounded a little angry.
In the silence, Kendrick heard the sound of a car driving from ahead. He subconsciously raised his hand to put his arm around Niamh’s shoulder, bringing her into his arms as if to prevent her from being splashed by the rain and mud on the road.
Niamh was caught off guard, so when she was suddenly brought into Kendrick’s chest, the tip of her nose plunged into a familiar cool fragrance. The smell pierced her heart, strumming her heartstrings.
Kendrick and Niamh did not speak another word, and there was only the trickling sound of the rain falling onto the umbrella.
After returning to the car, Niamh handed Kendrick a dry towel. She had been entangled with the three gangsters in the rain for too long and was almost completely wet.
She was about to start driving and head back when the police called and told Niamh to go to the nearby police station to make a record.
