She could speak now, but the only word she could say and know how to say was ‘Daddy’.
“I still haven’t found the whereabouts of Ryan Jones and Mrs. Waldburg,” the Interpol agent said in distress, “Ryan’s mobile phone is turned off, so it’s impossible to detect his location.”
Kendrick opened a certain GPS software and tried to track Niamh’s whereabouts again, but still, he found nothing.
‘Nia, it’s impossible that you’d throw away the bracelet that Jack made for you. Did Ryan discover the GPS on the bracelet and threw it away?
‘Nia, please don’t let anything happen to you.’
“Daddy,” Lillian called out to Kendrick childishly. She was staring straight at him with her clear and large eyes without blinking.
Kendrick’s eyes softened instantly. “Lily, do you miss Mommy?”
Lillian nodded seriously.
Kendrick coaxed gently. “Daddy will bring her home in a while, so don’t worry, Lily.”
“Daddy.” Jackson also walked over. “I know where Mommy is currently.”
Kendrick, including everyone else in the whole room, looked at Jackson upon hearing this.
His handsome little face exuded a sort of confidence and sharpness that children his age would not have…
Niamh stayed in the unfamiliar room for more than ten minutes. She tried to climb down the window, but after some observation, she noticed that there was nowhere for her to put her feet outside the window. If she jumped directly, it would be too risky.
She did not want to reunite Kendrick again with scars covering her entire body.
She wanted to return to the man safe and sound.
Niamh lowered her head and fiddled with the wedding ring on her ring finger. “Kendrick, I know you’ll come looking for me using your all, and I’ll wait for you,” she murmured in a low voice. The moment she finished murmuring, the door was opened all of a sudden.
She had already locked the door, but they could still open it so easily.
Niamh saw two strange men coming in and walking straight to her side with Adam following closely. He held a syringe in his hand.
Ryan was the last one to enter the room and he walked in while looking leisurely. Then, when he saw Niamh full of vigilance, he displayed a wicked grin.
“Do it.” He issued an order.
The two men beside Niamh suddenly grabbed Niamh’s slender arms.
“What are you doing? Ryan, what do you want to do to me?!” Niamh looked at Adam who was holding the syringe as he approached her. “What is this? Ryan, are you trying to inject me with the slow-acting poison to control me too?”
“No. I told you I won’t hurt you.” Ryan denied, but his smile became more treacherous.
“Ryan! Tell Adam to stop!” Niamh resisted with all her might as she watched Adam walking up to her and wiping the veins on her arm with a cotton swab. “Adam, stop! Stop!”
Looking at the syringe as it slowly stretched toward her, Niamh struggled with all of her might.
She lifted her leg and kicked the man who was holding her fiercely.
The man was caught off guard and successfully kicked away by Niamh.
Niamh took advantage of this to break free and ran toward the door of the room. Ryan’s eyes darkened as he strode forward to grab Niamh’s waist.
“Ryan, you lunatic! Let go of me!”
“If I let you go, it’ll mean that Kendrick has won. Do you think I’ll still let you go?” Ryan’s voice rang behind Niamh’s ears slowly.
She raised her sharp yet beautiful eyes. “Ryan, I’m telling you now that even if you give me the injection and control me, I’ll just be a puppet. I’ll never be moved by a man like you. The only man Eveline Montgomery will ever love in her life is Kendrick Waldburg!”
While listening to Niamh’s stubborn and powerful words, Ryan frowned deeply.
He did not say anything anymore and tightly held Niamh’s chin with the palm of his hand to force her to face him.
“Do it,” he said again.
The two men walked over quickly and grabbed Niamh’s arms again.
No matter how much Niamh struggled, it would be to no avail.
Adam also quickly walked to Niamh’s side. This time, he decisively stuck the needle into Niamh’s vein.
The cold liquid penetrated every inch of her bone marrow.
Niamh pressed her pink lips tightly as she felt an unknown fear. However, she never once showed weakness in her eyes.
Ryan looked into Niamh’s beautiful eyes. He watched as the sharp and piercing light in her eyes gradually faded away.
She fanned her thick and curled eyelashes sleepily before finally, she lost all consciousness.
Ryan took Niamh into his arms and stroked her cheeks. He lifted the corners of his lips slightly as a wanton smile blossomed on his face.
“Get ready to go.” He gave the order, and as soon as he picked up Niamh to leave, a man sprinted up to him suddenly.
“Mr. Jones, a young woman is outside. She said she’s looking for you.”
“A young woman?” Ryan frowned slightly and strode over…
The thunderstorm in the summer night stopped shortly after.
Kendrick sped to the place where Niamh was located according to the information provided by Jackson.
The modern-looking villa in front of him looked as if it had been abruptly built in the uninhabited area that was waiting to be developed.
After getting out of the car, Kendrick rushed in through the gates. The villa was brightly lit, but it seemed that no one was there.
He ran into the room uneasily and saw a lot of bloodstains on the white carpet in the living room.
“Nia.”
Kendrick forced himself not to overthink.
He ran upstairs quickly while looking from room to room. Finally, he saw a shirt on the ground in one of the rooms.
Kendrick bent over and picked up the shirt.
He recognized immediately that this was what Niamh had been wearing today, but right now, the shirt was torn to pieces and there were also a few drops of blood on it.
In addition to that, the rose brooch with the GPS was pinned to the neckline of the shirt.
Kendrick clenched his fists and felt as if his thoughts were being aggressively pulled by something.
The GPS led them to this location because the brooch was discarded here along with the shirt.
The shirt was torn and there were bloodstains on it. Kendrick could not stay calm anymore.
“Nia, Nia!”
Kendrick rushed out of the room. His eyes were as sharp as a falcon’s as they turned bright red. He was frantically looking for Niamh’s whereabouts.
On the other hand, his colleagues from the police and Interpol who came with him could not find any traces of anyone after rummaging through the entire villa and laboratory.
What was certain was that Ryan had brought Niamh here and there was a ferocious fight.
However, it seemed that Ryan might have been tipped off, so he left this place with Niamh before they arrived.
Kendrick stood dejectedly under the night breeze. The only thing in his sight was the shirt that Niamh had changed out of…
…
Niamh woke up from her dream groggily. When she opened her eyes, she felt that her body was limp and weak.
“You’re awake.” Ryan’s low voice rang in her ears like a nightmare.
Niamh looked over and saw Ryan sitting beside her while sipping on his coffee. He was looking at her leisurely.
He did not look like a wanted criminal right now. He looked extremely carefree in this posture.
When Niamh was about to move, she realized that her hands were tied to the sides of the chair.
She looked sideways, catching a glimpse of the clear blue sky and white clouds outside.
Were they in the air?
She was on a plane!
Niamh gritted her teeth and looked at the carefree man with hatred.
“Ryan, where are you taking me?”
