Hearing this made Kendrick think of the poison in Niamh’s body.
‘The fourth stage of the poison must have flared up!
“Fabian, what happened to Nia? Tell me quickly! ” Kendrick pressed Fabian with questions. Without him realizing it, his grip became stronger.
Pudding, who was being held by Kendrick, stared at him with his big eyes. His little face put on a look in a grievance, and he seemed about to cry.
“Daddy…”
He called out to Kendrick in a brittle voice, but this moment, Kendrick’s attention was focused on the phone, and he had forgotten that he was still holding onto his son’s hand.
Fabian’s voice came from the other end of the line.
“She’d fainted two hours ago, and when she woke up, she started muttering nonsense.
“She said, ‘Kendrick, I really didn’t do it.’
“She even said, ‘Kendrick, please believe me, even if it’s just once.”’
Upon hearing Fabian’s explanation, Kendrick felt as if his heart was suddenly being crushed by something unseen, a type of endless, painful sensation that spread all over him.
He had also confirmed that the poison in Niamh had flared up.
After the poison had flared up, it would bring this type of mental torment to Niamh.
It would make her recall the most painful memories, and he was well aware that Niamh’s most painful memories were from him.
The strength in his hand got stronger without him realizing it again.
When he heard a child’s cry next to his ear, Kendrick then noticed his youngest son beside him.
However, currently, he was already not in the mood to care for his son.
“Fabian, where is Nia right now? Hurry up and tell me!”
“In the hospital.”
Fabian said, his tone was neither hurried nor slowed.
” I have a friend who is now keeping an eye on her. Her condition doesn’t seem too well, and she has erratic breathing, palpitations, and even cold sweat. In terms of her psychological state, she incessantly mentions your name and has ravings where she asks you to forgive her.”
Kendrick felt his heart was being pierced by something unseen.
“Fabian, there must be a vial of anti-toxoid test reagent that Nia always brings with her. Please help me look for it. Once you’ve found it, take it to a doctor who knows how to inject it and give Nia the injection! Nia will return to normal once she has that injection.”
Kendrick’s voice was already trembling when he finished speaking.
“Fabian, I’m begging you. I’ll rush over to F Country as soon as possible.”
“She doesn’t have the anti-toxoid test reagent that you mentioned with her.” Fabian’s words extinguished the only hope that Kendrick had.
“Impossible. I’ve always reminded her to bring that anti-toxoid test reagent along with her. It should b e there. Fabian, please, look for it carefully.”
“Anti-toxoid test reagent?”
Suddenly, Fabian immediately recalled the time when Lana had Kendrick ingest those slow-acting poison.
“I got it. I’ll go search for it again now.”
Fabian hung up the call and immediately called Evan.
“Do me a favor and see whether there’s a vial of anti-toxoid test reagent on Niamh. If there is one, immediately inject her with it. You’re a doctor so the injection should be a small matter to you. Hurry.
Fabian immediately hung up, not giving Evan any opportunity to reject him.
Naturally, as a doctor, Evan would not reject such a request.
However, he glanced at Niamh, who had been injected with a tranquilizer, and could not help but find this suspicious.
‘Would this be inappropriate?’
However, it was a doctor’s job to save lives. Be it a pediatrician or some other specialist, they share the same responsibility.
He pulled the blanket away and searched through Niamh’s clothing, but he did not manage to find the anti-toxoid test reagent that Fabian mentioned.
He then quickly called Fabian, who was already rushing to the hospital.
After arriving at the hospital, Fabian meticulously searched through all the pockets on Niamh’s clothing. Indeed, there was no anti-toxoid test reagent that Kendrick mentioned.
“Fab, you mentioned looking for an anti-toxoid test reagent to cure the poison? Has Niamh been poisoned?”
Fabian remained silent, belying what he knew in his heart.
‘This must be similar to the poison that Lana gave to Kendrick a long time ago.’
He found this odd. ‘How did Eveline get poisoned as well?’
“Why don’t we wait until she’s awake, then have her tell us where she put the anti-toxoid test reagent?”
“I’m afraid she’ll be worse than before after she wakes up,” Fabian guessed.
The truth was indeed exactly as he imagined. After the effect of the tranquilizer wore off, Niamh woke up.
However, after Niamh had woken up, it was just like what Fabian had predicted. Her mental state worsened.
She looked like she was in much more anguish than before. Her eyes were unfocused, and she kept on muttering Kendrick’s name and saying things like asking Kendrick to believe in her.
Fabian looked at her and felt a sudden heartache.
“You claimed to want to seek revenge on his wife, but I see that you’re quite concerned for her,” Evan said playfully and casually as he stood beside Fabian, yet he saw Fabian’s expression suddenly become serious.
“Back when I first met her, I was truly captivated by her beauty. She’s the most stunning lady I’ve ever seen.”
Fabian praised Niamh’s appearance from the bottom of his heart.
“From the very beginning when I first got to know her, however, she already had eyes for someone else. Hence, I didn’t develop any feelings for her. That was also the reason that I called her Eveline when I first met her.
” She’s smart, extremely brave, and talented. She has encountered many unfortunate events, yet she still managed to overcome them.
“This time, I believe she will overcome it as well.”
Fabian’s comment was suffused with wonderful hope and blessing.
After he spoke, Fabian frowned and turned around to leave, a conflicting expression playing on his countenance.
Evan shrugged his. He had a general understanding of Fabian’s reason for behaving this way.
Fabian had thought of seeking revenge, but he could not resist befriending Niamh, caring for her as a brother would a sister.
Indeed, Fabian was having contradicting thoughts just as Evan thought.
Despite that, he still decided to call Kendrick to inform him of the situation, but Kendrick had his phone switched off.
‘He switched off his phone at such a moment.’
Fabian could only think of one possibility. Kendrick, with a speed that was beyond imagination, was boarding the plane for the sake of Niamh.
A few hours later, Fabian indeed received the call from Kendrick when Kendrick had arrived at F Country.
He was not evasive, and he immediately told him the location of the hospital.
Kendrick immediately took a cab and rushed to the hospital, and saw Fabian, who he had not seen after so long, in front of the entrance of the ward.
Fabian saw Kendrick, and without a second’s delay, Fabian looked in the direction of the ward. “She’s inside. Go in and see it for yourself.”
Kendrick’s gaze then fell upon the little window on the door of the ward.
He looked into the ward and saw Niamh’s thin back.
Kendrick felt a pinch in his heart and immediately opened the door of the ward.
“A word of advice.”
Fabian’s voice came from behind Kendrick.
“She might be agitated, and she also might not be able to recognize you. Best be mentally prepared.”
After hearing Fabian’s so-called advice, Kendrick gently closed the door.
He looked at Niamh, who was hugging her legs, curled up at the edge of the bed, as he slowly made his way toward her.
