“I won’t do anything to you. I just want you to let my parents go and stop targeting Kendrick.”
Ryan felt conflicted for a while after listening to Niamh’s request.
Her parents were already safe and so was Kendrick.
She obviously knew these, but now, she seemed to have lost her memories again. She had no idea about it.
She really was not right in the head.
Ryan could not help but knit his eyebrows together when he thought about this.
When he ran into her again half a year ago, she was sharp and confident. Plus, she exuded an invisible charm that attracted him unknowingly.
She had been so tough and unyielding all this time.
However, in the end, he was the one who forced her to be like this.
Ryan was pondering silently when he suddenly felt a cool tingling sensation from his shoulder.
He looked over when he came back to his senses. He saw Niamh bending slightly while holding an alcohol swab in her hand to carefully treat his wound.
This behavior surprised Ryan. He never thought that Niamh would actually help him at this time.
He stared at Niamh blankly. He used to fire a bullet into this woman’s thin body in order to stop her from going back to Kendrick.
He gave her so many bloody crises, but at such a moment, she chose to help him.
Ryan could not believe it. His heart seemed to be shocked by something and he felt extremely conflicted.
“Eveline.”
He opened his mouth to call her name. His thoughts and eyes looked a little confused.
“If you remember everything, would you still treat me like you are now?” he asked softly, but it was as if Niamh was ignoring him. She was only focused on cleaning his wound seriously.
She was like a demented fool, but she seemed to know how to treat simple wounds.
Before long, Niamh finished bandaging the wound for Ryan.
Although she did not adopt any professional methods, Ryan knew that Niamh really wanted to help him.
“Ryan, what do I have to do so that you’ll let my parents go and stop targeting Kendrick?” Niamh asked solemnly.
Ryan looked at Niamh’s eyes that were no longer piercing, and somehow, there was an indescribable dull pain in his heart.
He watched Niamh’s elegant and feminine face quietly. Then, complex emotions of loneliness and expectations gradually surfaced in those gray eyes.
“Eveline,” he called out to her softly. The strong possessiveness and aggressiveness in his eyes had long since disappeared.
“Eveline, are you willing to agree to anything as long as I let your parents go and stop targeting Kendrick?”
Niamh seemed to hesitate for two seconds. “I can promise you anything you want, but I won’t stay with you. The person I love is Kendrick.”
A trace of loneliness flashed across Ryan’s eyes, but he no longer had the reluctant anger from before.
He looked at Niamh and smiled. “I know. I know that you love Kendrick. I’ll no longer force you to stay with me. I only have one request now.”
Ryan’s eyes were gentle. There was no longer the vicious and treacherous glint that he had in the beginning.
However, Niamh was still a little afraid. “What do you want?”
Ryan glanced at the bandaged wound on his shoulder and then stretched out his hand to try to grab Niamh’s hand, but the result was as expected.
Niamh avoided him. “What the hell is it?” she asked directly.
Ryan smiled sadly. “You’ll know soon.”
He finished saying that profoundly and slowly stood up. While facing Niamh’s uneasy and inquiring eyes, Ryan suddenly spoke seriously, “Eveline, after you fulfill this requirement, I’ll personally send you back to Kendrick.”
Niamh widened her beautiful eyes. It was obvious she did not believe what Ryan was saying, but she knew she had no choice.
…
When the cab Kendrick was in passed a crossroad, he lost the cab Ryan and Niamh were in.
After finding the surveillance footage, he found the dilapidated villa.
However, as soon as he entered, Kendrick could sense that there was no one in the house.
Despite this, he called out Niamh’s name hopefully, “Nia, are you here? Nia?”
Kendrick looked forward to hearing Niamh’s response, but the only response he got was total silence.
He tried to find some clues. Shortly after, he saw a first aid kit, used cotton swabs, and some blood- stained gauze on the coffee table.
Kendrick was even more certain now that this was where Ryan settled, but at this moment, he did not know where Ryan took Niamh.
He returned to the car and leaned his head on the chair while feeling depressed.
‘Kendrick Waldburg, what are you doing?
‘Did you just let Ryan take Nia away under your nose?
‘You keep saying that you’ll protect her, but what happened?
‘You’ve put her in danger again.’
Kendrick blamed himself deeply and scolded himself countless times in his heart.
However, self-blame would do nothing. He needed to use the least time to find Niamh.
‘Nia, this time, I won’t let you wait for too long.’
Kendrick pulled many strings but still could not find any clues about Niamh and Ryan’s whereabouts after the entire morning.
When he returned to Montgomery Manor, Sean was surprised to see Kendrick coming back alone.
“Didn’t Eveline go out with you in the morning? Where’s Eveline? Ellie has been missing her for almost a day.”
When he recalled Sean’s words on the plane, Kendrick could not help but feel anxious. Even so, he still told Sean frankly, “Eveline was taken away by Ryan.”
“What?” Sean’s expression changed suddenly. “What happened? How could Ryan have taken Eveline away again? Kendrick, you promised me on the plane that day that you’ll take good care of Eveline. How could you allow Eveline to be taken away under your nose by that lunatic, Ryan?”
Sean yelled angrily. He was unable to calm down due to his worries.
“Ryan is a lunatic who can do anything! He’ll definitely torture Eveline now that she has fallen into his hands! That child is already in a bad mental state and if Ryan does something to her, I’m worried that Eveline will not survive!”
Sean knew that it was useless to accuse Kendrick now, but he still could not help but scold him.
“Kendrick, if anything happens to Eveline, I will never hand my daughter over to you again!”
Hearing the movement, Eloise walked over from the living room and saw Kendrick coming back alone. Then, Eloise looked behind him expectantly.
“Where’s Eveline? Did she not come back with you?” Eloise’s eyes were filled with longing.
Kendrick frowned, and his heart was uneasy. He looked at Eloise and promised, “I’ll go and bring Eveline back immediately. Mom, Dad, rest assured. I’ll bring Eveline home in one piece.”
After Kendrick finished speaking, he turned around decisively. He originally wanted to ask Old Master Waldburg something, but now he did not have the mood to do so.
He knew that Sean was right to scold him because Ryan was indeed a lunatic.
Ryan was now at the end of the road and the only one who could give him the opportunity of winning was Niamh.
Kendrick used almost all his connections in Glendale. After half an hour, he finally got a clue…
On the streets that were basking in the molten gold of sunset, Ryan held an ice cream topped with whipped cream and handed it to Niamh.
Niamh did not want it, but Ryan directly stuffed the ice cream into Niamh’s hands domineeringly. “I bought it for you. Finish eating it.”
He commanded in a cold tone before pressing down on the cap on his head. Then, he took Niamh’s hand and led her to the large amusement park not far away.
This was the most popular large-scale amusement park in Glendale, and the highlight of this place was that there would be a splendid fireworks show here every Sunday night at seven o’clock.
Today was Sunday.
Niamh was forced to reluctantly follow Ryan into the amusement park.
At one glance, most of those in the park were sweet couples.
Naturally, Niamh and Ryan also became lovers in the eyes of strangers.
