Kendrick drove Niamh to the secluded area following the security footage. Suddenly, they heard Yvonne’s cackles.
“Niamh, are you scared now? Your face is now ruined and I want to see how you’re going to tempt Kendrick again! Don’t worry, I won’t kill you. I want you to watch as your daughter gets burned alive! Hahaha!”
Niamh and Kendrick looked at each other after they heard that, hurriedly getting out of the car.
They smelled something burning from a distance and when they got closer, they saw Yvonne cackling like she was mad. On the other hand, a woman was being tied to a tree with blood on her face.
However, what scared Niamh and Kendrick the most was the burning car.
“Mommy! Mommy!”
Lillian’s muffled voice came from inside the car.
Niamh felt a dull pain in her heart as she looked at the burning car. “Lily!”
She lost all reason as she ran over. However, Kendrick stopped her.
Niamh’s eyes were red with tears. She glared at him angrily and tried to get away from his grip. “Kendrick, what are you doing? Let me go! I’m going to save my daughter!”
“She’s my daughter too!” The man’s overbearing aura enveloped her, but his eyes were still kind. “Nia, trust me. I’ll definitely bring our daughter safely back to you! Wait for me and don’t risk yourself.”
After he finished saying that solemnly, he released her hand. Like a sword that was pulled out from its sheath, he ran toward the burning car.
Niamh was stunned when she saw Kendrick rushing over without hesitation.
Yvonne heard footsteps behind her and turned her head abruptly. When she saw Kendrick, her expression changed. Then, she took her dagger and walked to Nevaeh before pointing it at her neck.
“Kendrick, don’t force me. If not, I’ll kill Niamh!” Yvonne threatened.
Kendrick only wanted to save Lillian when he suddenly heard Yvonne saying that she wanted to kill Niamh.
He turned around and saw Yvonne holding the woman covered in blood who was tied to the tree.
He looked closely and realized that the woman was Felicity.
Since she looked similar to Niamh, Yvonne had mistaken her to be Niamh.
She thought Felicity was Niamh, so she was releasing all of her resentments on Felicity.
When he saw the wounds on Felicity’s face and head, Kendrick felt relieved.
He did not turn around and ran straight to the car.
“Handsome Mister!” Inside the car, Lillian screamed for help when she saw him. “Mommy! My mommy! Please don’t bully my mommy! Boo-hoo…”
The little girl’s eyes were red and swollen from crying—even her voice had turned hoarse.
Kendrick was heartbroken. He ran to open the door but realized that the door was locked from inside.
All of the windows were closed and there was only a small gap between the window in front of Lillian.
“Kendrick, save me! This woman is insane! She’s a psycho!” Nevaeh screamed at Kendrick for help. She was longing for Kendrick to turn around to look at her, but Kendrick just ignored her.
The only thing on his mind right now was saving Lillian.
“Handsome Mister, boo-hoo…”
“Lily, don’t be scared. Daddy will save you. I won’t let anything happen to you!” He comforted in a soft voice. Despite being in a state of panic, he still remained calm on the outside.
“Kendrick! Kendrick save me!” Nevaeh was still screaming for help.
On the other hand, Kendrick was still ignoring her.
Yvonne felt that something was amiss. Kendrick loved Niamh so much, so why was he ignoring her?
She looked at Nevaeh’s face closely and suddenly, she heard another set of footsteps running over.
She widened her eyes and looked over. Then, she was completely stunned.
“Niamh?”
Yvonne looked at Nevaeh again in disbelief. Even though half of her face was stained with blood, she could still see that her face was similar to Niamh’s.
“What’s going on? What the hell is going on?” Yvonne shook her head. She thought that she had perhaps taken too many hallucinogens so that was why she was seeing things.
“I told you I’m not Niamh!” Nevaeh yelled. She wanted so badly to kick this idiot to death.
Yvonne could not accept what was happening. She watched dumbfoundedly as Niamh ran to Kendrick. The two of them worked together to smash the window of the car.
“Nia, why are you here? I asked you to wait for me. It’s too dangerous!”
“Kendrick, this is my daughter! How can you ask me to stand aside and not do anything?” Niamh yelled angrily. Then, she heard a click.
Kendrick had successfully unlocked the car.
He quickly opened the door and carried Lillian out who was drenched in sweat.
Then, Niamh noticed the smell of gasoline coming from around the car. When Kendrick carried Lillian out of the car, it was completely engulfed by flames and was making a weird burning sound.
She looked at the end of the car and detected something was wrong.
The car was going to explode.
“Run!” She held Kendrick’s hand frantically.
Kendrick was stunned. His heart melted when he saw Niamh so concerned about him.
When he was about to run away from this dangerous place, he heard frantic footsteps behind him.
He turned around to see Yvonne’s contorted face as she held a bloody knife. She was about to stab the knife down on Niamh’s back without making a noise!
Kendrick reacted quickly and pulled Niamh over to him. He enveloped her into his arms and saw her puzzled face.
In the next second, he felt a debilitating pain in his back.
Niamh came to her senses and looked over, seeing a dagger stabbed at the base of Kendrick’s left shoulder.
Niamh immediately understood what was going on when she saw Yvonne with a malicious expression on her face.
Yvonne wanted to kill her but Kendrick had silently blocked this sudden attack.
She felt all kinds of emotions in her heart. Suddenly, she heard the crackling sound before an explosion coming from the car.
When Yvonne saw that Niamh was unharmed, she almost exploded in anger.
“Niamh, I’ll kill you! I’ll—”
Boom!
“Ah!”
Kendrick kicked Yvonne away and pulled Niamh into his arms. Then, he ran forward with a serious look on his face.
“Nia, hurry! The car’s going to explode!”
‘What?
‘The car is going to explode?’
Nevaeh was petrified when she heard this as she was still tied to the tree.
Then, in an instant, sparks flew as a loud explosion filled the air.
Boom!
The airflow from the explosion was so strong that the flora around the place were all pulled from the ground.
Kendrick carried Lillian with one hand and held Niamh with the other, protecting the mother and daughter in his arms.
After a while, everything plunged into silence.
Niamh lifted her head and the first thing she saw was the wound on Kendrick’s back. The dagger was still stabbed inside him, and it was evident how much strength Yvonne had used just now as well as how much she wanted her dead.
“Nia, Lily fainted. Let’s go to the hospital now.” It was only after hearing Kendrick’s words that Niamh realized Lillian was unconscious.
She quickly drove Kendrick’s car over and did not waste any time driving them to the hospital.
After Felipe got the news, he arrived at the scene a few seconds before the explosion. Then, he saw this scene before even getting out of the car.
The three of them got through this crisis with Kendrick carrying Lillian in one arm and holding Niamh in the other.
