“There must have been something wrong with me when I begged you to go in and encourage Rye! How did I forget that none of the Waldburgs are kind-hearted? Including you! You just want Rye to die!”
“Enough!” Kendrick interrupted coldly, his charming eyes full of coldness.
“My biggest limit is to allow my wife to go in. Ryan should’ve been damned!”
“You…” Mrs. Jones could not stand this but she knew she could not compete with Kendrick. As such, she started to target Niamh again. “Eveline, if Rye is really triggered by you and can’t be saved, I’ll make you pay with your life!”
Crack!
After Mrs. Jones cursed her, the doctor came out of the room.
Mrs. Jones ran over immediately. “Doctor, is my son really a lost cause? Does he have no chance to live after being triggered by this woman?”
The doctor frowned after he heard that, his face filled with displeasure. “Madam, she went in to encourage your son to live. If it wasn’t for her, your son wouldn’t have become better.”
“What? Better?” Mr. and Mrs. Jones were shocked. “Doctor, are you telling the truth?”
“Are you hoping that I’m lying to you?” the doctor asked with a serious look on his face. “If you hadn’t delayed this woman from going in just now, I wouldn’t have told you that it’s already too late. I did that to prevent you from wasting more time.”
“…”
After Mr. and Mrs. Jones heard that, their faces turned hot from embarrassment.
“It’s important for patients like this to have a strong will to live. As his parents, if you truly want your son to live, you have to thank this woman and not criticize her.”
“…”
Mr. and Mrs. Jones had nothing to say. The berating and curses they let out just now all went back to bite them in their bottoms. They felt as if they had been slapped numerous times and were feeling embarrassed.
“S-So how’s my son now? Is he fine now?” Mrs. Jones asked carefully while taking a look at Niamh. “What did she tell my son just now? Did it really work?”
The doctor could not stand Mrs. Jones’ doubting attitude. As such, he answered her sternly, “I told you clearly just now that if you still think we’re harming your son, we have nothing to say to that anymore.”
“…”
The doctor did not want to explain anymore, so he turned around and left.
“Kendrick, we should go as well.” Niamh grabbed Kendrick’s hand. She did not want to stay here any longer.
Before they left the house, she wanted to come with Kendrick because she felt that she could do something.
Indeed, after saying those words to Ryan, she felt as if the weight had been lifted off her heavy heart.
Kendrick did not want Niamh to stay in an environment like this. Plus, he was extremely enraged by Mr. and Mrs. Jones’ attitudes.
When Mrs. Jones saw that Niamh and Kendrick were leaving, she looked over coldly and yelled out to Niamh while refusing to accept what had just happened, “Eveline, don’t think that I’ll thank you after Rye wakes up!”
Kendrick stopped in his tracks. He was obviously unhappy, but Niamh stopped him.
“Kendrick, it’s unnecessary.”
Niamh was calm. She turned her face slightly, and her beautiful eyes glanced over Mr. and Mrs. Jones nonchalantly.
“Do you think I’m expecting your gratitude? I was just doing something I wanted to do.”
After she said that, she grabbed Kendrick’s arm and looked at the man whose eyes were filled with indignation. Then, she smiled at him.
Kendrick’s eyes softened. He did not want to bicker with Mr. and Mrs. Jones anymore. As such, he held Niamh’s hand and left the hospital.
However, judging from Niamh’s attitude just now, he felt as if she had returned to the way she was before.
He looked at her side profile. Her flawless and elegant face under the sunlight looked exceptionally charming.
“Nia.”
“Yeah,” Niamh responded to him obediently with a small smile on her face.
Kendrick felt a warmth in his heart and tightened his grip on her hand.
“Nia, do you feel unwell now?”
Niamh shook her head and looked into Kendrick’s concerned eyes seriously. “Did I scare you with my behavior that day? So have you been worrying about whether I’ll do the same thing that day, pouring cold water on myself like I’m insane?”
She said while averting her lively and beautiful eyes. There were more clear and bright rays of light in her eyes now.
She looked straight at Kendrick and smiled softly.
“Kendrick, I feel like I’ve become cheerful after I saw Ryan.”
Kendrick’s eyes lit up as well. “Nia, you mean…”
“Kendrick, I think I remember a lot of things now.”
“Really?” Kendrick was emotional as he grabbed Niamh’s shoulders. His exceptionally handsome face was filled with surprise. “Nia, do you really remember a lot of things? What about me? Do you remember what happened to us before?”
Niamh lifted her hand to stroke Kendrick’s exquisite and flawless face. Then, her eyes softened. “You’re the only man I love in this life. Even if Nia has gone insane, she’ll still remember to love you.”
“Nia.” Kendrick felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.
He felt joyous, but at the same time, he felt bitter.
He hugged Niamh. While he was holding her, he felt as satisfied as if he was holding the entire world.
A woman who still remembered to wait for him and loved him even after going crazy was so hard to find in this lifetime.
Niamh felt Kendrick’s love for her. She held him and patted his back lightly.
“Kendrick, Nia doesn’t want to be apart from you ever again.”
“We won’t be apart anymore, Nia. I’ll hold your hand no matter where we go in the future.”
“Even when we’re taking a shower?” Niamh’s joke caused a smile to break out on Kendrick’s face.
He let go of his hands and kissed the side of her face.
After pondering for a while, Kendrick asked, “Nia, what did you tell Ryan after you went in? Did he hear you?”
“I think he should have heard me.” She recalled the moment when Ryan’s eyelids twitched and nodded lightly. “I told him that I have something to tell him and I’ll only tell him what it is after he wakes up.”
Kendrick was rather curious. “What is it?”
What did she tell him?
Niamh recalled what happened in the ICU just now.
Niamh showed a rare mischievous smile after spotting the curiosity in Kendrick’s charming eyes.
“Kendrick, are you dying to know what I said to Ryan?”
Kendrick nodded and sounded like he was jealous when he spoke next, “I want to know how my wife encouraged that man who brought trouble to himself.”
Niamh could sense the jealousy in Kendrick’s tone. She curled the corners of her lips and smiled. Then, she said seriously, “That night at the firework viewing platform, Ryan told me something before he got shot and collapsed.
“He told me he was sorry.”
After Kendrick heard this, he could slowly guess what Niamh said to Ryan in the ICU.
“That day, he kidnapped me in the bookstore. He told me that he’d take me to you, so that’s why I went with him. Back then, I was seriously muddle-headed and I believed everything he said like an idiot. Then, he said as long as I promised his final request, he’d take me back to you.”
“What did he ask for?”
“I didn’t understand back then, but now I do.” Niamh paused and looked into Kendrick’s inquisitive eyes. “I think he only wanted to spend some time alone with me because he knew he didn’t have much time. He had no choice apart from using this barbaric method.
“He also told me that he didn’t expect to force me into this state. He only hoped that I could stay by his side obediently.”
Kendrick finally understood. However, indignation also rose in his eyes.
“Nia, I won’t forgive him for what he did to you even if he has apologized.” Kendrick still had rage in his heart that he could not get rid of.
He had watched as Ryan shot Niamh and he also knew how Ryan had forced Niamh to do things she did not want to again and again.
If it was not for Ryan, his entire family would be spending the rest of their lives happily since long ago.
Of course, Niamh knew how Kendrick was feeling now. “The law will make him pay for what he has done after he wakes up. If he’s truly feeling guilty, he’ll be condemned by his conscience for what he did to me after he wakes up.”
After hearing what Niamh said, the rage in Kendrick’s heart diminished by quite a lot.
“Nia, promise me to never be soft-hearted again. Actually, I didn’t want you to wake him up at all. I wanted so badly to fire my gun and kill him the moment he shot you.”
Kendrick told her about how he was feeling as he caressed her hair while heartbroken.
