Yet, how could this be? The man was clearly not him. They looked completely different. Apart from the clothes, there was no similarity between him and this man, but Niamh really thought that the man was him.
“Lana, what tricks did you use? Why is Niamh like this?!” Kendrick questioned, his heart tightening inch by inch by something invisible.
He could imagine how upset and disappointed Niamh had been when she thought the man was him.
Lana tossed a bag of pink pills into Kendrick’s hand. “A type of drug that can cause hallucinations. Isn’t it amazing?”
Kendrick looked at the thin and long pink pills in his hand. He then took out the medicine he carried in his pocket for Niamh, and they were exactly the same.
A horrible speculation emerged in his mind. He tightened his fist, clenching the pills in his hand.
It turned out that the medicine Adam Brown prescribed Niamh had a hallucinogenic effect.
Adam Brown.
“I want to tell you a cruel fact. Adam Brown is not a mere doctor. Your wife is just his guinea pig.”
Guinea pig!
When these two words were used on Niamh, Kendrick felt a chill.
Lana smiled meaningfully. “Adam has been experimenting on Niamh to see if she can safely give birth to her son after taking his medicine or if she’ll manage to keep the baby through her own efforts. Everything has been a part of Adam’s experiments, and they’ve all been very successful.”
Kendrick’s cold gaze was like a knife made of ice gouging fiercely at Lana. He suddenly reached his hands out to strangle Lana’s neck.
“Lana, are these the tricks you were talking about? Do you really think that this will make me fall in love with a despicable woman like you?” Kendrick said as he tightened his grip.
Lana was choked till she was out of breath, and her face was flushed. Even so, she still smiled.
“Kendrick Waldburg, do you think you can kill me like this? If I’m dead, your most beloved woman will be muddle-headed all her life, living in her terrifying fantasies.”
Veins popped out on Kendrick’s forehead. He threw Lana away unhappily.
Lana’s back hit the wall and it hurt terribly, but she still smiled. She flung her short, gray hair as her eyes became filled with intense possessiveness. “Evil never winning against the good is just a fairy tale. Kendrick, you can’t do anything to me because I know no limit.”
Kendrick looked down at her condescendingly, his eyes sinister and ruthless. “If something happens to Eveline, I’ll do something worse than what you’re capable of.”
He continued coldly, “Lana, ask Adam to bring me the medicine to help her regain her consciousness. Otherwise, I’ll stuff all these pills into your mouth right now.”
“…” Lana was shocked by the cold light that was cast from the bottom of Kendrick’s eyes. “It’s not difficult for Eveline to regain her consciousness, but you have to promise me one thing.”
Lana stared at Kendrick’s face greedily and walked toward him. “I want you to be my man.”
Kendrick fixed his eyes on Lana sharply and firmly. “There’ll only be one woman in my life and her name is Eveline Montgomery.”
Lana’s gaze sank upon hearing this. Through the small window on the door of the ward, she saw that Niamh had woken up and was looking toward the door. Lana smirked. Taking advantage of Kendrick’s unpreparedness, she suddenly placed her hands on his shoulder and planted her red lips on his thin lips.
Niamh had just regained consciousness. The last thing she wanted to see as soon as she opened her eyes was Kendrick and Lana talking in front of the door of the ward.
The last thing she expected was for Lana to kiss Kendrick so suddenly with a bright smile.
Niamh suddenly clenched her fists and sat up. She was about to get off the bed when she felt a throbbing pain in her abdomen. She reflexively held her belly.
Lana knew that her attempt this time would not succeed, and indeed, she was pushed aside harshly by Kendrick once again.
However, their position and actions just now were enough to make Niamh think that Lana kissed Kendrick.
Kendrick still wanted to ask Lana to get the medicine, but when he heard the noise in the ward and looked back, he found that Niamh was already awake.
“Get out of here, don’t be an eyesore in front of my wife.”
He sent Lana away in a cold voice and immediately pushed the door to enter. Seeing Niamh frowning and holding her belly, he felt even more worried.
“Nia, you fainted at home just now. How are you now? Is your stomach still uncomfortable?” Kendrick went to hold Niamh’s hand, but she avoided his hand decisively.
Kendrick knew that Niamh was under the influence of drugs, causing her to misunderstand him. He wanted to explain to her clearly, but what was he going to say?
If he said that Adam Brown was treating Niamh as a guinea pig and that all she saw was just her own hallucinations, her mood would only worsen.
“I don’t want to see you right now, get out.” Niamh drove him away and lay back on the bed.
Kendrick did not want to upset Niamh at this time, so he walked out of the ward to stand guard.
He made a call to Adam. The call went through, but no one picked up.
He made another call to Daniel. Daniel and Adam’s relationship was considered good, but when asked about Adam’s whereabouts, Daniel also knew nothing.
Kendrick hung up the phone without telling Daniel about Niamh’s situation.
When he thought about it, Adam had suddenly changed Niamh’s medicine a while ago, but they did not have any suspicions as Adam once helped Niamh through a difficult time.
However, he would never have thought that the medicine Adam gave was just for his experiment.
Of course, Kendrick could not tolerate it. However, he also felt powerless.
Due to Niamh’s current physical condition, only Adam’s medicine could guarantee the safety of the mother and child.
It was just that those pink pills were completely redundant. They were all Lana’s tricks.
However, what was the relationship between Lana and Adam?
Kendrick could not figure it out, so he immediately called Ken to investigate it. For the whole night, he waited and guarded the door, taking a peek at Niamh through the small window from time to time.
The next day was the weekend. Kendrick received a call from Eloise early in the morning, saying that the two little buns wanted to play with their parents.
Kendrick glanced at Niamh who was still sleeping and did not tell Eloise that Niamh had been admitted into the hospital.
He asked the nurse to look after Niamh, then picked up the two little buns from Montgomery Manor.
On the way, Kendrick urged the kids not to tell their grandparents about their mother’s illness. The two siblings nodded obediently.
Kendrick bought a bouquet of flowers. He entered the hospital while carrying Lillian and holding Jackson with one hand.
“Handsome Mister, can we still go out and play with Mommy today?” Lillian asked while blinking her big glassy eyes.
Kendrick was a little disappointed. “Lillian, I’m your father. Call me ‘Daddy’.”
Lillian smiled innocently, but her face was serious. “You’re Handsome Mister. Lillian’s dad is not here.”
The meaning was clear. Lillian still regarded Felipe as her biological father.
Kendrick could only be disappointed in silence as he could not blame the little bun.
Just as he arrived at the inpatient department with his two children, the nurse ran over and told him, “Your wife was just discharged from the hospital. She was picked up by a man.”
Niamh was picked up by another man?
“He’s a gentleman with glasses, quite handsome.” The man described by the nurse immediately reminded Kendrick of Adam Brown.
However, he now knew that Adam was no longer a mere doctor.
If Niamh went with him, she would only end up in a more dangerous situation.
He immediately called Niamh, but the call was hung up.
In the car, Niamh looked at the darkened screen and simply turned off the phone.
Adam glanced at Niamh as a rare smile appeared on his handsome and proper face. “Aren’t you worried that Kendrick won’t be able to find you if you follow me out like this?”
Niamh chuckled. “He wants to see another woman more now.”
Adam pretended to be puzzled. “Another woman?”
Niamh did not speak anymore and merely looked out of the car window. After a while, she saw a familiar car in the rear-view mirror.
It was Kendrick’s car.
Niamh’s head was full of the ambiguous scenes of Kendrick and Lana. She turned to look at Adam. “Dr. Brown, please drive faster.”
Adam glanced at the rear-view mirror knowingly and sped up.
However, Kendrick was even faster. When passing the intersection, he accelerated and took over Adam’s car, forcing Adam to stop.
Niamh wanted to make Adam turn around and go, but she saw Lillian and Jackson getting out of Kendrick’s car.
Kendrick was walking over with a solemn expression.
Her expression immediately changed, and she quickly unfastened her seatbelt.
At this moment, Adam’s cell phone rang. He glanced at the message and said to Niamh, “Eveline, I have something important to do and have to leave first.”
