As he held an outsider’s perspective, Adam was relatively calmer than Kendrick. After thinking about it, he finally told him the cruel facts.
“She has suffered a lot of injuries during this period, all of which were caused by Ryan.
“Ryan thinks that Eveline is too strong and her willpower is too tough. What he hopes is that Eveline can completely obey him and cling to him, so that’s why Ryan wants to sand her sharp edges and thorns.
“His method is to force her to do something she doesn’t want to do while using her parents as a threat.”
Upon hearing this, the veins on Kendrick’s forehead popped out violently.
He clenched his fists tightly, his nails almost penetrating his palms.
At this moment, his heart was full of anger, but he could not vent.
“Did you see the bandage wrapped around her right foot?” Adam asked while looking in the direction of the bedroom.
“That was when she wanted to resist Ryan, so she fled while she was barefooted. She stepped on some glass shards, but to save herself from the catastrophe, she endured the severe pain and pulled a shard out to press it against Ryan’s neck.”
Kendrick noticed that Niamh’s foot was injured a long time ago, but he did not expect this gruesome story behind Niamh’s injury.
“Ryan cut her hair because he wanted Eveline to stay with him using a brand new image.”
“Ryan Jones.”
Kendrick gritted his teeth and spat out those two words bitterly as he violently suppressed the flames that were burning in his heart.
“There’s no way to treat her for the time being. Perhaps the best way is to stay with her because you’re her conviction and hope.”
Conviction and hope.
Kendrick felt severe but dull pain in his heart.
Adam did not stay long. He left after saying a few words to Kendrick.
Kendrick returned to the room, and Niamh was still sitting on the bed while staring into space.
How cruel was Ryan to be able to force such a tough and tenacious woman to this state?
He took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and went to the kitchen to cook some noodles.
Before Adam left, he said that Niamh had hardly eaten in the past two days. Although he took the opportunity to give Niamh some nutritional injections, she would still collapse if she did not eat or drink.
In the process of cooking the noodles, Kendrick kept suppressing his emotions. However, when he thought of all the torture Ryan inflicted upon Niamh during this period, he finally could not bear it anymore. He entered the bathroom and punched the wall again and again to vent the anger that had exploded in his heart.
His reflection in the mirror looked like Satan from hell, and his whole body was covered with icy thorns. It was as if one would be burned by the flames of anger on his body if they got too close to him.
“Ryan Jones.” Kendrick raised his eyebrows that were covered with a layer of frost. “I’ll make you pay back with double the blood you’ve made Nia shed!”
He ignored the back of his hand that was bleeding and turned around furiously.
He had to go look for Ryan!
He had to catch Ryan now and make that lunatic suffer the hurt he caused Niamh!
Kendrick had made up his mind, but when he walked out of the bathroom, he saw Niamh coming out of the room. What shocked him more was that Niamh was currently speeding toward the door.
Was she trying to leave?
“Nia!” Kendrick chased after her.
When Niamh saw that Kendrick had spotted her, she ran even hurriedly to the door.
Kendrick rushed over in the speed of light and held Niamh. “Nia, don’t go!”
Kendrick sounded like he was pleading with her as he hugged her even harder for fear that she would slip away again, but Niamh seemed to be triggered by him as she struggled with her last remaining strength.
“Let me go, I have to wait for Kendrick! He’s coming to pick me up soon!”
Kendrick was heartbroken. His eyes were red as he sobbed. Then, he held up Niamh’s panicking face. “Nia, I am Kendrick! I’m here to pick you up.”
Niamh paused and then raised her unique, beautiful eyes to meet Kendrick’s affectionate and gentle ones.
She looked at Kendrick seriously again for some time as if she was exploring something.
Seeing that Niamh was not so emotional anymore, Kendrick stroked her cheek lightly. “Nia, take a closer look. I’m the love of your life, Kendrick.”
“Kendrick…”
“Yeah, Nia, it’s me,” Kendrick answered without thinking.
Just when he thought that Niamh was gradually getting an impression of him, in the next second, a look of resistance appeared on her small face.
“You’re lying to me again. Kendrick hasn’t come yet. He asked me to wait for him, but he’s not here yet, so I have to continue to wait for him.” After Niamh finished speaking, she pushed Kendrick away and continued to walk to the door.
Kendrick hurriedly went to grab Niamh’s hand, but the moment he touched her finger, Niamh’s anger seemed to ignite. “Stop bothering me already!” she looked back and scolded.
Then, with an annoyed expression, she pushed away Kendrick’s hand that was approaching her. At that moment, her beautiful eyes were filled with extreme displeasure and anger.
She stared at Kendrick who was now dumbfounded and then warned him seriously, “Stop following me! You’re so annoying!”
Annoying.
The word penetrated Kendrick’s already injured heart with great lethality.
Despite knowing that Niamh was not intentionally behaving this way, how could Kendrick not feel distressed?
He really hated Ryan so much. He actually forced such a tough and tenacious woman into this state.
After seeing that Niamh had already reached the door and was planning to open it to leave, Kendrick was left with no choice.
However, he did not force her to stay like how Ryan forced her to. Instead, he followed her quietly and did not separate from her.
Although Niamh’s mental state was not good, she still had basic common sense.
She went to take the elevator, so Kendrick followed her inside. He also helped Niamh press the button to the first floor.
Niamh looked at Kendrick suspiciously, then moved her gaze away arrogantly. Then, she warned, “I told you to stop following me already. If Kendrick finds out about this, he’ll definitely teach you a lesson.”
Kendrick did not expect that Niamh would take the initiative to speak to him and that she would say something like that.
He looked at her beautiful side profile with affection and deliberately went along with her. “Really? Then I really want to meet your Kendrick.”
Niamh looked at Kendrick as if she was looking at a strange person.
She ignored Kendrick. As soon as the elevator reached the first floor, she walked out on her own.
Kendrick followed Niamh silently while keeping a safe distance. However, if Niamh was in any danger, he would rush over to protect her as soon as possible.
However, Niamh was unfamiliar with the surroundings. She looked around, and perhaps she started to panic a little from being lost.
Kendrick saw everything, and the corners of his eyes became wet more than once.
The clothes on her body were thin and she had not eaten for almost two days. The thing that was supporting her right now was the nutritional injections given to her by Adam.
He was really worried that she would suddenly collapse from exhaustion.
However, just when Kendrick started to have this concern, a man was riding toward Niamh on an electric bike from the opposite direction.
“Get out of the way!” the man yelled, ordering Niamh to give way.
Kendrick’s eyes darkened suddenly. How could he tolerate this man talking to Niamh like this?
The man was in a hurry, but when he saw Niamh completely ignoring him and having no intention to give way, he hurriedly swerved his bike. He ended up hitting a tree in front of him and fell to the ground in a wretched manner.
Niamh stopped when she saw someone suddenly falling in front of her.
The man screamed in pain and raised his head to see Niamh standing in front of him. Then, he opened his mouth to curse ferociously.
“Did you not hear me telling you to get out of the way? You look beautiful, but are you blind or deaf? You caused me to f*cking fall!”
“Who do you think you’re talking to? Say that again if you have the guts!” Kendrick stepped forward to pull Niamh behind him. When he looked at the man with his cold and sinister eyes, the man shivered.
He bent down and stretched out his hand to grab the man’s shirt. Then, he warned frigidly, “You’re riding in the opposite direction of the sidewalk and you still dare to criticize others? Apologize to my wife immediately. If not, don’t even think about standing up.”
Kendrick was already full of anger with nowhere to vent. Coincidentally, this man came to them and started digging his own grave.
The man had never seen such a terrifying look on a person before, so he immediately apologized to Niamh timidly.
“I-I’m sorry! It’s my fault! I’m sorry!” He apologized incoherently.
Kendrick pushed the man and drove him away in an imposing manner. “Get lost.”
