When Niamh heard him, she slowly clenched her fists and forced herself to calm down before smiling indifferently. “Well then, may I ask what brings Mr. Zimmerman here? It’s not to see my son, right?”
Kendrick chuckled. “Of course I’m not interested in seeing your son. I’m just here to confirm the goal.”
“What?” Niamh’s calmness broke into pieces again. “What do you mean?”
Kendrick did not answer Niamh. His thin sexy lips were curled into an intriguing smile as he walked straight to the door of the nursery. After opening the door with a master key, he walked purposefully toward the child who Niamh had just pointed out.
“Kendrick? Kendrick? What are you trying to do?”
Niamh hurried and followed behind to stop him. When she saw that he had opened the incubator to take the child away, she pulled him away and held the sleeping little baby tightly in her arms.
When Kendrick was faced with Niamh who was fully resistant, he reached out to her. “Give it to me.”
Niamh looked sharply and firmly at him. “Kendrick, you can forget about me, but ask yourself, what are you doing now?”
“I don’t need you to judge what I do. Give the kid to me.” Kendrick’s attitude was very tough.
Niamh looked sadly at the man with sullen eyes. “Kendrick, what’s the matter with you? This is your own flesh and blood. Did Lana make you come again? Why did you become like this?”
“You hit my woman. Do you really think that you can live peacefully after doing such a thing?”
“Your woman?” Niamh found it ridiculous and sarcastically said, “So you stay with Lana every night? What else do you do with her?”
“I have no obligations to tell you.” He seemed impatient and went up to grab the child from Niamh’s arms.
At that moment, a nurse on duty came in. When she saw the scene, he hurried over. “Mrs. Waldburg, is that you? Why did you come in by yourself to take the child? Quickly put him back into the incubator. If the child catches a cold, it’ll be bad news.”
Niamh quickly put the little infant back. She wanted to take a better look at the baby for a little while longer, but Kendrick suddenly took her hand and Niamh was forced to follow him out of the hospital.
Niamh felt cold when the chilly evening breeze of the summer blew by.
She broke free from Kendrick’s hand, and her gaze was still sharp. “Kendrick, even if you have amnesia and even if you don’t remember everything that we’ve done together, have you lost your basic conscience? Do you know what you’re doing for Lana?”
As she looked at the unique and handsome face, disappointment gradually emerged in her eyes.
“Maybe you really aren’t the real Kendrick. My Kendrick would not be acting this way.”
She looked at him sadly and turned around decisively.
Before she could take a step, the back of her neck was grabbed by the man’s warm palm and Niamh was forced to turn around. He held her right in front of him.
The man’s bottomless round eyes shrouded her vision like a deep and vast night.
“Do you know that you’re asking for your own death if you continue acting this way?”
“So are you going to kill me, Mr. Zimmerman?” Niamh sternly greeted his sharp and frightening icy eyes.
Her beautiful, clear, and charming eyes that looked like autumn were reflected in his eyes. It was as if the sight of her was tugging on his heartstrings, leaving him in a trance for a while.
He quickly returned to his senses and focused on Niamh’s eyes.
“Don’t worry, I won’t kill you, but I’ll show you the consequences of offending someone you shouldn’t have offended.”
The word of warning came out of his thin lips without a trace of warmth.
He let go of her, leaving Niamh alone as he drove away without any lingering emotions.
Niamh looked at Kendrick who had been completely brainwashed by Lana. After her heartbeat calmed down, she immediately ran back to the nursery.
When she saw that the child was still sleeping in the incubator, she was relieved.
Kendrick returned to the villa that Lana bought in Glendale. As soon as he entered the door, someone informed him that Lana would arrive at Glendale Airport in ten minutes and that he was to go and pick her up.
Kendrick left for the airport, and when Lana saw Kendrick after getting off the plane, she was like a bee that spotted a flower as she clung to him enthusiastically.
However, the sudden ringing of her phone stopped her behavior. She glanced at the screen and answered it impatiently. “Brother, I have my limits. Take care of Fabian when you have time. There was a good deal right in front of him but he would rather do some kind of charity, giving money to a bunch of children who no one wants. I think that perhaps he has gone mad.”
She hung up the phone in disappointment. Then, she ordered one of her minions to drive and took Kendrick’s arm to sit in the back compartment.
“Hans, do you know how much I missed you after not seeing you for the past month?” Lana put her chin on Kendrick’s shoulder, obsessively looking at his handsome profile closely. “Did you take care of Eveline?”
Kendrick looked out of the car window. “I won’t let anyone who dare provoke you off the hook.”
When she saw Kendrick’s aggressive and domineering attitude for her, Lana listened with joy and hooked her long legs onto Kendrick’s legs.
Kendrick reminded her without undulation. “We’re in the car.”
“So what if we’re in the car? We haven’t done it since you woke up from your injuries.” Lana imbued memories that did not happen. “You would hug me to sleep every night before the accident. You’ve rested for almost three months now, so your injuries should have healed.”
Lana lowered her voice, her hand climbing up Kendrick’s arm before gradually descending.
Kendrick held her free hand in a cold tone. “Let’s not mess around in a place like this, okay?”
Lana withdrew her hand with a little disappointment, but there was still a strong desire and hope flowing in her eyes. “If this isn’t a suitable place, we’ll go back and take our time to play. No matter what, I must have you tonight.”
Kendrick looked sideways at Lana’s smiling face and somehow, Niamh’s smile appeared in his mind, pulling his heartstrings.
After returning to the villa, Lana immediately went to take a shower. After her shower, she wore a thin nightdress and walked over to Kendrick who was running on the treadmill.
She smoked a cigarette, stood next to the treadmill, and turned the machine off. She said flirtatiously, “Hans.”
Lana looked at Kendrick’s body hungrily.
His physique was slender and perfect, comparable to those of top models.
The first thing that caught Lana’s eyes about Kendrick was his physical appearance. After that, she was attracted to the affection he gave and the aura he exuded.
In the past few months, she had spared no expense in manpower and resources just to get this man.
Tonight, her opportunity was finally here.
Kendrick got off the treadmill and looked at the woman approaching him, but there were no waves in his heart—let alone changes to his heartbeat.
Lana put out the cigarette butt, stood in front of Kendrick, and looked at him coquettishly. She slowly closed her eyes.
Kendrick looked at Lana who was waiting with her eyes closed. He raised his hand and pressed it on the back of Lana’s head, but he could not lower his head and kiss her no matter what.
The kiss with Niamh at the beach of April Hill that night came to his mind.
That night, he was clearly playing Niamh and a peck would have been enough, but when his lips touched Niamh’s, all the cells in his body became excited. He could not help but kiss her deeply for a long time.
Lana was still waiting for Kendrick’s kiss, but after waiting for a while, Kendrick still had not kissed her. She opened her eyes with a little dissatisfaction and saw Kendrick frowning as he let go of her.
“Hans?”
Kendrick gave her a nonchalant look. “Another day.”
After speaking, he turned and went into the bathroom to take a shower.
Lana was left there as anger surged inside of her.
Three months had passed and Kendrick stayed with her every day, but he had never once touched her.
He never even held her hands.
Although he had lost his memories and completely forgotten about the past, it was clear that his body still remembered who the woman he wanted was.
She pulled out the secret photos taken in April Hill and saw the picture of Kendrick kissing Niamh. They looked so serious and so reluctant to let go of each other. She threw the phone out the window angrily, and it just so happened to hit Naomi who came to look for her.
Naomi picked up Lana’s phone and went to the gym on the second floor. She found out why Lana was angry after asking her.
“Why be so angry? You’re the Lana Johnson. Being angry will only degrade your style.”
Naomi smiled sullenly and gave her some suggestions.
“Remember what Eveline said in front of the reporters last time? If she said that she has only one husband and only one man in her life, then you can let the whole Glendale and even netizens from all over the world see for themselves that Eveline does not only have one man. She has a group of men.
“When everyone sees how much fun she’s having with a group of men, we won’t need to do anything anymore. She’ll be finished.”
Lana hung around with the bad kind, so she quickly understood what Naomi meant.
She threw a cigarette to Naomi. “You’re getting cleverer after hanging out with me for so long.”
Naomi triumphantly lit up the cigarette and smoked skillfully. She was not ladylike at all and acted like a gangster girl.
“I’ll leave it to you, then.” Lana handed the task to Naomi.
Naomi agreed readily and immediately called Ryan to ask Niamh for a meet-up.
