He hoped that he was not sending his beloved woman for surgery and bidding farewell to his child.
Kendrick closed his eyes slowly as despair and sadness overwhelmed him.
At this moment, the door of the operating theatre swung open.
Kendrick lifted his head and saw Niamh walking over to him. “Nia?’
Niamh smiled at the worried man in front of her. “Kendrick, I want this child.”
“No. You can’t risk your life!” Kendrick’s expression was grim. “I can’t lose you again.”
He furrowed his brows and touched Niamh’s face worriedly. “Nia, listen to me, okay?”
“If this is our last child, then I will do my best to bring it to the world.” Niamh insisted. “Kendrick, I know you desperately want this child, right?”
“But I want you more. I want you to be safe and healthy, do you understand?” Kendrick held Niamh while his heart shattered into pieces. His deep and hoarse sobs traveled into her ears. “Eveline, I can’t handle another possibility of losing you.”
Niamh felt Kendrick’s care and concern toward her. She patted his shoulder and got out of his embrace.
“You don’t have to worry about me. I will be fine because I know someone who can help me.”
“Are you talking about Adam?”
Kendrick’s question surprised Niamh.
When she had Jackson back then, her health was worse than it was now. When she was wrongfully incarcerated, she almost could not keep her child and almost died in prison.
However, Daniel sent her some pills and these pills helped her safely deliver Jackson.
Plus, she also struggled whilst at death’s door for some time.
However, she was curious about what Kendrick thought of Adam.
At this moment, Cathy returned.
She handed them the pills she got from Adam.
There were a few pills in the small and transparent bottle.
When Niamh saw this, she recognized them immediately. “These pills…”
“I knew you wouldn’t agree to the abortion, so I contacted Adam way before.”
Kendrick’s answer solved Niamh’s curiosity.
However, she still did not understand. “How did you know that I survived my sickness because of Adam’s pills back then?”
Kendrick smiled, his eyes filled with self-blame. “Even though I’m slow to everything, I still tried my best to find out everything about you after, Nia.”
Niamh finally understood. However, what touched her the most was how Kendrick was able to guess her final decision.
He knew her so well.
“Cathy, thank you for running errands for me and Kendrick.” Niamh thanked her sincerely. Then, when she looked at her face, she felt heartbroken.
Even though this face was stunning, it was nothing compared to her radiant and sweet smile back then.
Kendrick obeyed Niamh’s wishes and continued to recover in the hospital. After Cathy sent Niamh away, Felipe arrived.
The face that she dreamed about and longed for day and night was now like a nightmare. The only thing she wanted to do was hide from this man.
Felipe spotted Cathy running away when she saw him, and immediately, his face fell.
He chased up to her. Then, he saw her closing the door of the hospital room before turning around to face him. “Mr. Waldburg, please don’t disturb my fiancé.”
She stopped Felipe at the door with a serious expression on her face.
Felipe felt a lump in his heart, yet he smiled. However, his smile looked diabolical. “Does your fiancé know about you running back into my arms?”
There was a hint of loss in Cathy’s eyes. “Felipe, I feel nothing toward you anymore. You forced me that day.”
“I did force you that day, but what about before? Did I also force you those two times you got pregnant?”
“Did you not?” Cathy’s gaze was sharp. “You’ve never cared about how I feel.”
Felipe pressed his lips into a tight line when faced with her accusations.
Looking at those hostile eyes, he clenched his fists that were inside his pockets.
“Cathy, do you know what’ll happen to you if you betray me?”
Cathy looked into his devious eyes bravely. “Kill me if you have the guts.”
Felipe was agitated with her determination. “I won’t kill you, but I’ll make you wish that you’re dead.”
He displayed a thought-provoking smirk as his possessive gaze stared right into Cathy’s panicking eyes.
“You care about Kendrick now, huh?”
Cathy shook her head, and there was a worried look on her face. “What are you trying to do to him again? Felipe, don’t do anything stupid.”
“If you don’t want me to do something stupid, it all depends on what you’ll do next.”
He grabbed her chin and moved his lips closer to her. “Tonight at seven o’clock, come to the place where we had our fun two days ago. If you don’t come, my men will appear in Kendrick’s room. Remember that.”
His tone was flat, but it was filled with warning.
Cathy clenched her fists. In the end, she unclenched them lifelessly.
At seven o’clock, she appeared in Felipe’s study on time. However, the man was nowhere to be seen.
Cathy glanced around the room mindlessly when something on the desk attracted her attention.
When she walked over to take a closer look at it, the door of the study opened.
Felipe entered.
When he saw Cathy here on time, he curled the corners of his lips in satisfaction.
Cathy was stunned by his soft smile and gentle look. However, when she thought about the two children she lost, she felt her heart growing cold again.
“I guess you’re willing to do anything for Kendrick now,” Felipe said profoundly, walking in front of Cathy.
Cathy turned her face away in disgust. “Kendrick is my fiancé, so of course I’m willing to do everything for him.”
Felipe’s smile disappeared. He did not want to hear Cathy telling him that she was concerned about another man.
“Since you care about him so much, then from now on, please me. If not, don’t even expect him to leave F Country safely.”
The threats that fell into Cathy’s ears were like the words of a devil. Once again, they crushed her heart.
Cathy did not know how much time had passed. When she woke up, there was no one next to her, but she could hear the sound of the shower running coming from the bathroom.
As she turned, she noticed that Felipe’s scent still lingered in the air.
It was the smell that she was obsessed with back then.
However, everything was different now.
She got up and put on her clothes before ordering some take-out.
Felipe was taking a shower inside his bathroom, but his brows were furrowed together this entire time.
He did not know why he did that to Cathy. He just knew that he did not want to see her concerned about Kendrick and ignoring him.
He would not allow a woman who was so in love with him back then to betray him for another man.
He put away the drenched hairband on his wrist and walked out in a bathrobe.
When he walked back into the bedroom, he saw Cathy opening the take-out box. She then took out a box of pills before taking out one.
When Felipe saw this, something clicked in his brain and he rushed in front of Cathy. Then, he grabbed her hand that was holding the pill.
Cathy was taken aback, and the pill fell on the floor.
Felipe took the box and looked at it. At this moment, his eyes were red from either the shower or his emotions. “What are you doing?” he asked while grabbing her hand tightly.
Cathy looked at him coldly and said nonchalantly, “Birth control. Can’t you see?”
Her cold attitude made Felipe’s breath hitch. “How dare you eat this?”
