After she said that, Yvette helped Kendrick leave with no one going up to stop her.
Felipe stood where he was dumbfoundedly and stared at Yvette’s departing back in disbelief.
Was she really Cathy?
No.
Cathy would never speak to him like that.
She would prioritize him in everything she did. Every word he said was like an imperial edict to her.
She would never treat him like this.
However…
Felipe spotted too many similarities between Cathy and Yvette.
Plus, he managed to get his hands on evidence that Cathy was still alive.
At this moment, Niamh finally let out a sigh of relief when she saw Kendrick leaving the manor.
When she was still feeling worried, Felipe walked over suddenly and snatched away the gun from her hand.
Her eyes met Felipe’s dark orbs, but she did not back away. “Don’t try to use Lillian to threaten me. I promised you that I won’t go back to Kendrick, but this doesn’t mean I don’t love him and it doesn’t mean that you can use me to hurt him!”
Felipe pressed his lips together as he watched Niamh leave. Then, he fired the gun on the wall to vent his anger.
“Mr. Waldburg, are you going to let Kendrick Waldburg leave just like this?” one of his men asked.
“Watch that woman for me. Don’t leave out any single detail,” ordered Felipe.
His men did not understand why they were being asked to watch Yvette when the target should be Kendrick.
Yvette sent Kendrick to the nearest hospital immediately.
She saw the torn wound on his back and also the deep bloody mark on his right wrist. She figured that he had been tied to something heavy.
On the other hand, Kendrick’s face was getting pale from the loss of blood. Then, he fell unconscious.
Yvette was worried that something might happen to Kendrick, so she immediately transferred him to the most reputable hospital in F Country—Royal Hospital.
She used her previous connections to get Kendrick the best doctor.
After Felipe knew about this, he sped to Royal Hospital.
Yvette was about to take care of some paperwork for Kendrick when she ran into Felipe.
The man walked over to her elegantly and blocked her. “Miss Charis, I heard that this is your first time in F Country. I’m curious how you know the operations of this hospital so well and even got my personal doctor to treat Kendrick?”
“Oh, so this is what you’re curious about, Mr. Waldburg…” Yvette looked into Felipe’s eyes confidently and chuckled. “It’s because I told him that I’m the most beloved sister who you financially supported for many years—Miss Cathy Jordan.”
He was still trying to gradually force this woman to admit her identity, but unbeknownst to him, she was exposing herself without even hesitating.
As he looked at the charming and seductive face in front of him, he could not help but think about the sweet and lovely face from his memory.
Felipe felt as if his heart had been sliced by an invisible knife. He reached out his hand to grab Cathy’s wrist, pulling her toward him.
“What’s wrong with your face? Why did you undergo plastic surgery? Just so you can pretend to be a stranger in front of me?”
His tone was cold, and his eyes looked overbearing.
However, there was no fear in Cathy’s eyes anymore. On the other hand, she curled her lips into a smirk of disdain.
“Mr. Waldburg, you think too highly of yourself. I got plastic surgery because I was disfigured by someone.”
Felipe’s pupils constricted as rage appeared under his eyes. “What did you say? You were disfigured? Who did that?”
“I don’t know who they were, but I know you were the one who caused me to be disfigured.”
‘Me?’
Felipe was stunned.
Suddenly, he realized Cathy might have encountered something even more terrible than falling into the water after she jumped into the river.
When he wanted to ask, Cathy escaped from his grip and walked away.
Felipe grabbed her. “Why are you staying with Kendrick?”
“It’s none of your business.” Cathy’s tone was calm. She did not have the same admiration in her eyes for Felipe as she had before.
She removed her hand from his and walked away without turning back.
Felipe’s hand was suspended in mid-air. He could not accept Cathy’s attitude toward him now.
He was used to her being good to him, appearing in front of him so cheerfully and full of energy.
He was even used to her illicit feelings for him.
However, in this second, he felt as if the thing that should belong to him had been taken away from him.
This person who took everything away from him was Kendrick.
…
Kendrick woke up in the evening the next day.
His wound had broken open again, so his condition became worse.
However, the physical pain was nothing compared to the concern and longing he had for Niamh.
He wanted to contact Niamh, but when he turned his head, he saw Cathy deep in thought.
“Why did you come to F Country all of a sudden?” he asked.
Cathy came back to her senses. “Ken told me. I was worried about you, so I came.”
“Aren’t you afraid that he’ll find out who you are?”
Cathy laughed. “He knows.”
Kendrick’s expression changed, but then he saw the calm look on Cathy’s face. “What are you going to do next?”
“Ken showed me the video. I really didn’t expect him to be doing something illegal.” Cathy lowered her gaze in disappointment and loss. “However, I won’t let him sink further into this mess.”
“Do you still love him?” Kendrick felt sorry for Cathy.
Cathy smiled widely. “Evie has never let you go as well, has she?”
When Kendrick heard this, he felt warmth rising in his chest.
When he remembered Niamh pointing her gun at Felipe so domineeringly just to protect him, he felt his heart racing.
‘Nia.’
He quietly called out Niamh’s name in his heart and closed his eyes in exhaustion.
After two days of staying in the hospital, Kendrick felt better.
In those two days, he missed Niamh a lot. He was also worried whether she would be threatened by Felipe. However, at this moment, Niamh appeared in front of him.
At the same time, Felipe was next to her.
Kendrick’s softened gaze became sharp in an instant.
He ignored his wound and lifted the blanket to get out of bed.
Niamh ran toward him and stopped him. “Watch out for your wound.”
Kendrick held Niamh’s hand and looked at her face in concern. “Did he cause you any trouble?”
“Do you want me to?” Felipe snorted. “I don’t have a kink for bullying women.”
When Kendrick heard that, he felt that Felipe was being ridiculous. “Don’t you feel any shame when you say that? Have you forgotten about the girl who miscarried twice and decided to kill herself out of despair because of you?”
Felipe’s face darkened. Meanwhile, Niamh could immediately guess that the girl Kendrick mentioned was Cathy.
However, she did not know that Cathy had miscarried twice because of Felipe.
Cathy was done handling her matters and was on her way back to the room. When she saw Niamh and Felipe, she was shocked but remained calm.
