“Miss, just because you have the same blood type doesn’t mean we can be sure that your blood can be transfused. We still need to—”
“I understand. I’m very sure that my blood is suited to be transfused to him.” Cathy was very sure, and her eyes were extremely determined.
Adam stood behind Cathy. When he heard how affirmative she was, he began to feel a little uneasy.
After he accompanied Cathy to donate her blood for the transfusion, they sat in the chairs in the corridor as they waited. Eventually, Adam could not help but ask.
“Amy, you…”
Adam spoke but stopped abruptly. Suddenly, he no longer had the courage to ask because he was afraid of getting an answer that he did not want to hear.
“Adam.” Cathy turned to look at Adam. She voiced out the doubts in her heart, saying, “I’m actually the Cathy who Felipe speaks about, right?”
Adam knew that there was no way for him to hide it now. He furrowed his brows and said nothing.
From Adam’s silence, Cathy knew what the answer was.
She looked at the door of the emergency room, and her two beautiful willow-shaped eyebrows involuntarily furrowed deeply.
“Turns out he wasn’t lying to me. Turns out I really just forgot about him.”
When Adam heard that, a worry crept up in his heart. “Amy,” he called out to her and took her hand nervously. “Don’t go back to Felipe. Please, don’t ever.”
When Cathy saw how worried and anxious Adam’s handsome face looked, she gave a small smile.
“Don’t worry, Adam. What happened before has passed. I know who I’m supposed to cherish now.”
When Adam heard Cathy’s words, his erratic heartbeat finally calmed down.
Cathy turned around and continued looking at the closed door of the emergency room. Somehow, the smile on her face disappeared, but the image of that day gradually became clearer in her mind.
…
The next day.
Niamh spent the night at the manor and slept fairly comfortably.
After she quietly called Kendrick, she walked out of the room after taking a shower.
She initially wanted to find an excuse to go out, but when she got downstairs, she happened to see Carter and his mother, Camille, seated in the dining room.
When Camille saw Niamh coming downstairs, she proactively invited her. “Come and have breakfast with us.”
Carter added, “Come here. I happen to have something to ask you too.”
Niamh had no choice but to walk to the dining table and sit down.
Although she did not know what was going on, she could clearly tell that the way Camille looked at her was different from before.
When Niamh was thinking about it, she heard Camille speak.
“I was very satisfied with the dinner you made yesterday. I made today’s breakfast myself, so you should try it.”
“…”
‘Did she actually make breakfast for me?’
Niamh was really surprised and became more certain about the severity of Camille’s peanut allergy.
“Have your breakfast first. I’ll discuss it with you afterward.” Carter glanced at Niamh with a slight smile.
Niamh nodded and did not want to say anything more.
She tried the breakfast prepared by Camille and it was indeed delicious.
Sure enough, the women of the Louis family were not only beautiful but also very good at cooking.
Niamh never thought that she would also enter that family. After she figured out why Carter was investigating Kendrick, she would leave immediately.
“I haven’t been in Glendale for long. I heard that you’re from Glendale. Can you be my tour guide and take me around town?” Camille requested.
Niamh wanted to go back to Kendrick and was looking for a reason to decline, but Carter agreed on behalf of her.
“Eveline has nothing better to do anyway. She’ll accompany you for a walk around town.”
“…” Niamh had nothing to say.
Meanwhile, Camille gave a very satisfied smile.
Niamh remembered that Carter had something to tell her, but after breakfast, he asked the driver to take her and Camille out.
The rain had not stopped, but it got lighter.
Niamh still wore a mask out of habit so that she would not meet acquaintances on the street and bring unnecessary trouble to herself.
Camille did not say anything about Niamh either but instead, she started to admire Niamh after what happened last night.
“What other relatives do you have in Glendale? How did you and Carter meet? How long have you known each other? How come you’re coincidentally called Eveline Montgomery too?” Camille seemed like a future mother-in-law who wanted to know more about Niamh.
Niamh thought for a while and felt that the only question she could answer was the last one.
She smiled a little. “My mother gave me that name. I don’t know why it’s so coincidental either.”
Camille did not seem to be satisfied with the answer. “Then you and Carter—”
“Right in front is Glendale Tower. It’s one of the more famous attractions in Glendale. I’ll take you there.” Niamh interrupted the question Camille had hoped to receive an answer to and marched forward.
Camille felt that Niamh was deliberately avoiding the question, but she was not the kind of person who insisted on getting to the bottom of the matter, so she did not continue asking her and followed Niamh’s footsteps.
Not far away under a tree beside the road, a black van slowly stopped. Two men quickly got out of the car and strode toward Niamh and Camille.
Niamh was thinking of an excuse to leave when she suddenly heard messy and hurried footsteps behind her.
She looked back vigilantly and saw two men wearing masks. They did not look like good people and were sprinting toward her and Camille.
Niamh sensed that something was wrong and pulled Camille along.
Camille was still looking at the surrounding scenery and did not know what was going on. She furrowed her eyebrows and looked at Niamh. “Why are you pulling me?”
Niamh did not have time to answer Camille. She pulled Camille’s hand hard and ran toward a crowded place.
“Run!”
“What are we running for?!” Camille always had the image of a noble and elegant lady. She had never done any exaggerated or big movements. When Niamh suddenly pulled her to run at that moment, she was naturally very unhappy.
“Eveline, why are you running and pulling me?!” Camille tried to break free from Niamh’s hand, but as soon as she said that, she saw two men in black clothes and masks suddenly passing by.
The two men looked extremely unfriendly, and Camille suddenly understood why Niamh was trying to drag her away.
“Who are you guys? Why are you blocking our way?” Camille questioned the two men in front of them sternly.
The two men ignored Camille. After they gave a look at each other, one of them pointed to Camille and warned her.
“This matter has nothing to do with you. You’d better shut your mouth or we’ll take you with us too!”
When Niamh heard him, she knew that the two people came for her.
Camille also seemed to have understood but did not stand by it. “What are you doing? Are you seriously trying to kidnap someone in broad daylight?”
“Yes, we’re here to kidnap,” the man replied threateningly, his eyes focusing on Niamh.
Camille took out her phone to call Carter when she realized what was going on, but the man shoved her phone to the ground.
Camille’s facial expression changed instantly. “Who are you guys? Why do you want to kidnap my daughter-in-law? Are you doing this for money?”
“This is not a simple matter of getting ransom,” the man said and stared intently at Niamh.
“It’s better if you just come with us. Otherwise, neither of you can go.”
Niamh glanced around, knowing that it would be difficult for her to leave now.
“Okay, I’ll go with you, but don’t do anything to her.” Niamh readily agreed.
The two men nodded in satisfaction and motioned for Niamh to get into the van by the roadside.
Niamh glanced at Camille. “Go back first.”
“How can I?! How can I let you go with these two men?” Camille naturally disagreed, and when she was about to go in front to stop them, one of the men suddenly flashed a dagger.
“Don’t be nosy, or I’ll kidnap you too!”
