However, he did not expect Niamh to be worried about Kendrick first after they got out of the crisis.
Felipe gripped the steering wheel, dark undercurrents appearing in his eyes.
Then, Felipe turned his steering wheel when he heard the sound of police cars approaching.
Hospital.
Niamh was relieved after Lillian woke up.
When she walked to the clinic, she was oddly worried when she heard the doctor saying that the dagger had hit Kendrick’s bone and his wound was pretty serious.
Then, she heard Kendrick asking the doctor about her and Lillian in concern.
After making sure that they were alright, he let out a sigh of relief.
Kendrick draped his bloody coat across his shoulder and walked out in exhaustion. He was surprised when he saw Niamh at the door. However, he smiled at her gently. “Nia, it’s great that you and Lily are fine.”
Niamh looked at him and said coldly, “I’ll drive you home.”
Kendrick was extremely grateful. “Okay.”
Felipe followed them all the way to the hospital. When he saw Niamh and Kendrick walking out together and how she was even driving him home, he could not control himself anymore.
After he got back to his place, he shut himself in the study to drink. The flames of anger in his chest could not be put out by the cold liquid that he was downing furiously.
‘Why?
“Why are you still concerned about him?’
“Why?” Felipe asked. He could not accept this.
He smashed the wine glass in his hand, the shards stabbing into his palm. In a flash, blood started pouring out from the spaces between his fingers, yet he remained indifferent.
When Cathy saw this, she walked into the study with a first aid kit. “Felipe, don’t hurt yourself like this,” she said to him while feeling pity. When she saw the blood on his palm, she felt as if her heart was bleeding too.
Felipe pushed her hand away forcefully. “Get away from me.”
“I won’t leave you, especially not when you’re in a bad mood.” Cathy looked at Felipe with a certain gaze. After that, she held his hand to dress his wound for him.
Felipe’s eyes darkened. His bloody hand gripped Cathy’s chin as an ominous glint appeared in his cold eyes that were filled with rage.
“Do you think I’ll fall for you if you do this? Let me tell you, don’t even think about it.”
“But I want to.” Cathay looked into his cold eyes, her eyes shining with undying passion and love toward him.
Felipe was slightly taken aback, but in the next second, Cathy boldly moved her face closer to him and kissed him on the lips.
Felipe had never kissed a woman before.
He did not kiss Cathy even when they were intimate that night.
He also did not expect this woman to come up to kiss him so boldly.
Damn it.
Felipe frowned and pushed Cathy away without hesitation.
His onyx-like eyes shone, but they were looking at the petrified woman maliciously.
“I warned you to stay away from me.”
Cathy sat up and looked straight at him. She blinked, her eyelashes wet with tears. “As long as I can be with you, I’ll willingly get close to you even if you’re a fire.”
She looked at his bloody hands and held them gently in her own. Then, she leaned down and pressed a gentle kiss on the back of his hand.
Felipe looked at the woman who was kneeling in front of him before pulling her toward him suddenly.
Cathy lost all control when Felipe’s breathtaking face was magnified in front of her.
However, before she could register what was going on, Felipe pressed her down on the desk. “Don’t regret this since you like me so much.”
A devilish smirk appeared on his face. At this moment, he looked like the devil.
Cathy looked at him while feeling pleased. “I won’t. I’ll be happy to be your scandalous little plaything even if I have to.”
Felipe was taken aback when she said that.
Her obsession with him was beyond his imagination.
However, so what?
He only had Niamh in his heart. She was the woman who showed him the light when he was in the darkness.
…
After that night.
Karen saw the news of Yvonne’s arrest the next morning.
The news also said that 85 percent of Yvonne’s body was burnt badly because of the exploding car. Due to this, both of her legs had to be amputated and she was basically useless now.
Karen lamented as she did not expect Yvonne to end up like this. However, she did not feel sorry for her.
How could she be concerned about someone who wanted her dead?
Then, she heard the news saying that another woman was also hurt badly. Not only did she hurt her head, but her face was also disfigured.
Karen thought about Niamh immediately. She got up and saw Kendrick coming downstairs.
“Kendrick, about yesterday—”
“Nia?”
Before Karen could finish her sentence, she saw Kendrick looking ahead and calling out to Nia.
She turned her head in confusion and saw Niamh walking in from the door.
Karen was surprised. “Kendrick, y-your eyes… You can see now?”
Kendrick did not answer her, but instead, he walked to Niamh and said softly, “Nia, are you here to see me?”
Karen looked at Niamh closely. Her fair face was beautiful and flawless. Plus, there were no wounds on her head. She figured that the injured woman from the news was not Niamh, so she let out a sigh of relief.
“I’m not in the mood to come and see you,” replied Niamh coldly.
Kendrick felt his heart getting cold. Then, an adorable head popped out from behind Niamh.
“Daddy!”
Jackson held a bunch of baby’s breath and ran toward Kendrick happily.
Kendrick felt warmth in his cold heart.
He squatted down to hold Jackson, but when he reached out his arm, he would pull on the wound behind his back.
He did not make a sound, but Niamh saw him slightly furrowing his brows.
He must be in pain.
She pondered and felt something tugging on her heartstrings all of a sudden.
“Daddy, Mommy said you’re hurt. Where’s the wound? Does it hurt?” the little guy asked him in concern.
Kendrick smiled. “It doesn’t hurt.”
“Really?” Jackson looked like he was in disbelief. “Daddy, let me look at your wound so that I can feel reassured.”
Kendrick did not want to scare the little guy with his bloody wound, but he was extremely stubborn.
He brought the little guy to the room without a choice. Niamh also followed behind them while Karen moved out Niamh’s way like she was avoiding her. She was also looking at Niamh like she had something to say to her.
Niamh did not think that Karen was acting weird and only smiled.
Kendrick took off his sweater in the room, revealing his fair torso. There was blood seeping out from his bandaged wound.
Jackson blew on it while feeling heartbroken. “Daddy, you’re bleeding. Daddy, you must be hurting a lot, right?”
“Maybe I pressed on it when I was sleeping.” Kendrick had not noticed the bleeding. Then, he caressed the little guy’s head. “I’m not in pain, so don’t worry about me, Jack.”
After he said that, he saw Niamh walking over with a first aid kit and was surprised. She looked like she was going to change his dressing for him.
