Evan, who had been constantly paying attention to Niamh, immediately noticed that there was something amiss with Niamh’s expression.
“Miss Montgomery, are you feeling unwell?”
Evan got up and asked. He felt that Niamh was indeed not in good shape.
Upon hearing that, Fabian only then noticed that Niamh’s complexion seemed ill. Even her forehead was starting to have cold sweat.
Niamh slowly realized that the poison within her body was starting to flare up again.
Shirley had mentioned before that the fourth stage would happen soon.
The thought of it made Niamh try her best to prevent this type of situation from happening because she could not afford to be weak at this moment, but she could not overcome the poison that was already flaring up. Nevertheless, Niamh did not allow herself to drop to her knees.
She clenched her fists and continued to stubbornly look into Fabian’s eyes.
“Fabian, I’ve come all the way here to bring Lilian back home. If you’re not willing to hand Lilian over to me, that will only leave me with one last option.”
Fabian looked at Niamh’s face that was slowly turning pale, feeling puzzled. “Given your current condition, do you think you have what it takes to take your daughter away?”
Niamh chuckled softly and stubbornness glinted in her gorgeous eyes. “As a mother, I’d do anything to ensure my daughter’s safety, no matter the cost.”
Niamh’s comments briefly stunned Fabian.
As he thought of fighting back, he heard Niamh suddenly letting out a moan.
Fabian returned to his senses and looked at her. He saw Niamh biting on her lips, and her face was as pale as a white sheet, bloodless, and her breathing became rapid.
These symptoms seemed familiar, causing Fabian to suddenly recall something.
“Eveline, do you have some disease as well?”
Fabian asked as he made his way over to Niamh.
Niamh suddenly put up her guard and took a step back. “Don’t come near me.”
Fabian had initially thought Niamh was rejecting him, but then, he heard Niamh muttering, ” Kendrick, it really wasn’t me who did it. You must believe me…”
Astonished, Fabian looked at Niamh as she spoke those words.
‘Did she think that I’m Kendrick?
‘Even if she did think that I’m Kendrick, I don’t think she’d speak like this, right?’
Fabian, unable to understand it, noticed Niamh’s gaze becoming confused, as though it was losing focus and not focusing on anything.
In the meantime, her pale lips kept moving as she continued to mutter to herself, “It wasn’t me, it really wasn’t me…”
Fabian immediately reminded Evan, “Hurry and check up on her. What’s going on with her?”
Evan immediately stepped forward to hold onto Niamh’s hand to check on her pulse. However, Niamh shoved Evan’s hand as he reached out to her, and she suddenly turned around and ran outside.
Judging from the reactions from earlier, Niamh knew that she had entered the final stage of the poison.
She noticed she had started to mutter gibberish, and memories of utterly unfriendly scenes surfaced in her mind.
She had to quickly inject herself with the anti- toxoid test reagent, but it was placed in the purse in the car.
Fabian and Evan, neither speaking a word, immediately ran along to catch up to Niamh simultaneously.
“Eveline!” Fabian shouted at Niamh’s back.
He saw Niamh running toward a black car that was parked at the main entrance not far away.
Fabian guessed that it was probably the car Niamh had rented here.
She had driven that car and followed them all the way here.
‘However, isn’t she here to look for Lilian? Why did she just suddenly go off?
‘No.
‘She said she’s going to use her last option. Could it be related to her returning to the car?’
As Fabian chased after Niamh, his mind analyzed a lot of possibilities.
However, when they were about to catch up to Niamh, they had not expected Niamh, who was sprinting, to suddenly fall in front of the car. “Eveline?! “
Fabian rushed to Niamh’s side. As he supported Niamh up by her shoulders, he realized that Niamh had already lost consciousness and had fainted.
Evan walked over to them and quickly placed his fingers over Niamh’s wrist, feeling her pulse, analyzing it. Evan then frowned.
“Fab, Eveline’s condition seems very suspicious. Bring her to a room now!”
Fabian too noticed that there was some urgency in Niamh’s condition and carried Niamh back to the guest room.
With the space being separated by a wall, Niamh and Lilian were both placed in two rooms.
After carrying Niamh to the bed, Fabian had Evan conduct a checkup on Niamh again.
Even though Evan was a pediatrician, he had still mastered the basic medical checkup procedures.
However, at that moment, he was unable to make out the problem with Niamh.
“Palpitations, cold sweat, and erratic breathing.
I’ve seen such conditions before, but her symptoms seem to be different from ordinary patients.”
Evan felt troubled, and at that moment, he heard Niamh’s semi-consciously talking in her dream. “Kendrick, you must believe me, even if it’s just once, please…”
Despite Niamh’s very weak voice, Fabian and Evan could hear it crystal clear.
“Who’s Kendrick?” Evan asked curiously.
“The number one young master of Glendale. He’s Eveline’s husband, Kendrick Waldburg, ” Fabian explained.
Evan was more puzzled when he heard it.
‘Just under what circumstances would Niamh shout for her husband in such a lowly manner, begging him to believe her?’
Evan gave it a thought, then provided a suggestion. “Fab, Eveline’s condition is already beyond my knowledge. Of course, it might be due to my inadequate medical knowledge. Perhaps she just has a weak body. You could just wait until she wakes before deciding whether or not to send her to the hospital.”
“I’ll now send her over to the hospital.” Fabian made his decision.
Puzzled, Evan looked at him. “Don’t tell me that you’re worried that, when she wakes, she might realize that you’re actually hiding her daughter, so you’re trying to get rid of her as soon as possible?”
In the face of Evan’s suspicion, Fabian did not feel like explaining himself.
He quickly carried Niamh and immediately drove his car to the hospital.
Along the journey, Niamh kept on talking in an incomprehensive manner.
Evan could not understand a thing, but Fabian somehow knew a part of it.
He had known Niamh for two years. He had learned about the past between Niamh and Kendrick.
Kendrick had once hurt Niamh very deeply, and the words she spoke in her dreams were perhaps memories of the great pain she had felt. The phase in which she had suffered the most.
Fabian lowered his eyes to look at Niamh, who was unconscious, and started to have mixed feelings.
Amidst the silence, he softly spoke two words. “Oh, Eveline.”
Evan drove the car straight to the private hospital that he had established. After settling Niamh down, Fabian felt much more relieved for some unknown reason.
Fabian had initially thought of waiting until Niamh woke up and after ensuring that she was alright before he returned home. After giving it a second thought, however, he still decided to leave.
He felt that there was no need for him to get involved with Niamh anymore. He bid farewell to Evan and immediately left.
However, as soon as Fabian had driven to and arrived downstairs of his company building, he received a call from Evan.
On the other end of the line, Evan hurriedly said, ” Fab, you better come back here quick. Eveline’s awake but she seems a little off.”
After receiving the call, Fabian turned the steering wheel around without hesitation and drove at full throttle back to the hospital.
Evan had placed Niamh in the best VIP ward, but a t that moment, he was standing at the entrance of the ward, not daring to step in and disturb Niamh.
Upon seeing Fabian rushing from the other end of the corridor, Evan pointed at the ward with a worried look. “You’d better go in and have a look for yourself. She seems really weird.”
After hearing what Evan had to say, Fabian then looked through the small transparent window on the door and saw Niamh in the ward.
She was hugging both her legs, curled up at a corner, and her expression looked terrified.
