Lillian nodded her little head lightly without making a sound.
The cold-faced Carter was carrying a lunch box as he walked to the room.
Earlier, he went to at least five or six pharmacies, but none of them had the medicine Shirley wanted.
In the end, he felt that something was wrong, so he looked it up on the Internet and found that the medicine Shirley mentioned did not exist.
She had lied to him.
Why did she lie to him? Did she want to distract him so that she could do something?
The more Carter thought about it, the more uneasy he felt. Suddenly, he increased his speed to walk to the room.
Niamh walked forward slowly, she noticed that the footsteps behind her suddenly got closer and became faster. She was a little uneasy; she wondered if Carter had found her.
The moment Niamh decided to look back, Carter noticed Niamh.
At first, Carter had not been looking closely, but the back of this person holding the child made Carter feel that he had seen them before.
The moment Niamh’s face popped out of his mind, Niamh also happened to look back to confirm the situation.
When their eyes met, Carter’s face suddenly darkened.
“It’s really you, Eveline.”
He chuckled lightly, threw the lunch in his hand to the ground, and rushed towards Niamh quickly.
Niamh held Lillian tightly and ran forward without looking back.
Seeing Niamh quickening her pace and running forward, Carter also quickened his pace immediately.
When he was passed by the hotel room door, he turned his head and looked.
Niamh heard Carter’s footsteps getting closer, so she hugged Lillian tightly. “Eveline, you can’t run away.”
Carter’s nightmarish voice came from behind her. Niamh pressed her lips together tightly. No, now that things had reached this point, she had to protect her little princess, even if she had to do her best.
When she spotted the fire escape ahead, Niamh turned and went in without hesitation.
However, as soon as she walked into the fire escape, an arm suddenly grabbed her shoulders forcefully, and at the same time, a man also covered her mouth with his palm before Niamh could let out any sound.
Carter saw Niamh entering the fire escape, so he followed behind quickly.
However, upon entering, Carter somewhat hesitated.
The corridor was so quiet, and he seemed to be able to hear his breathing.
Carter could not help but furrow his eyebrows. He glanced towards the bottom of the stairs, but in the end, he chose to chase up the stairs.
To Carter, a smart woman like Niamh would definitely not play the game according to the rules; instead of running downstairs, she would be running upstairs to confuse him.
However, this time, what Carter did not expect was that Niamh neither went up nor down.
She was now trapped behind the iron door leading into the fire escape.
Niamh’s heart was racing. After listening to Carter’s footsteps growing fainter and fainter upstairs, she pulled the palm on her mouth away and turned her head back suddenly.
“Shhh.”
When Niamh was about to speak, the man shushed her and took Lillian away from Niamh’s arms. He then took Niamh’s hand with the other hand and decisively walked out of the fire escape and towards the elevator.
After Carter had walked up a few floors, he suddenly realized that something was amiss.
Niamh was carrying Lillian, so she could not have run that far.
When he ran in just now, the whole corridor was quiet, completely absent of sound. Therefore, Niamh could not have climbed the stairs while carrying her daughter.
As he thought about this, Carter quickly turned around and returned to the floor earlier.
He decisively walked behind the iron door, and he felt that there was still body temperature remaining in this narrow space.
His pupils shrank, and he sprinted to the elevator.
The moment he ran over, he saw the elevator door in front of him slowly closing. At a glance, he saw Niamh, but she was not holding Lillian in her arms; she seemed to be holding a man’s hand instead.
The elevator in the hotel moved very fast. When Carter ran to the elevator, the elevator that Niamh took had already reached the first floor.
He knew that it would definitely be too late to chase them at this time.
“Eveline, you did not outsmart me this time. Instead, I was the careless one.” Carter sneered in the direction of the elevator.
“Don’t think that you have ensured your daughter’s safety by saving her this way. You’ll come back and find me within three days.”
Carter smiled confidently before turning around and walking towards the room.
At the front entrance of the hotel.
Niamh stared at the man holding her hand without blinking. Under the sun, Kendrick’s resolute and solid handsome face was truly reflected in her pupils.
It seemed that at this moment, Niamh realized that she was not dreaming.
“Kendrick, is that really you?” Niamh sighed ruefully, but at the present, she was even more puzzled. “How come? Why are you here?”
Niamh was confused, but it was so good to see him at this moment. It was amazing.
Kendrick lowered his gaze, as gentle as the spring breeze, and looked into Niamh’s stunning eyes.
As she was about to say something, the little princess in his arms called out to him sweetly, “ Daddy.”
Kendrick turned his head and his warm gaze landed on the little girl in his arms.
“Lily, I’m here. I’ll take you and Mommy home.”
Lillian understood what he meant. She nodded and nestled into Kendrick’s arms intimately.
“Nia, I know you have a lot of questions, but this isn’t the place for us to talk. We’ll leave now.”
Kendrick held Niamh’s hand tightly. “Come.”
As he walked forward, he called a cab at the side of the road before leading the two most important females in his life into the car.
The car drove a very long distance and arrived at the hotel near F Country Airport.
Niamh could approximately guess what Kendrick was trying to say. He was about to bring her and Lillian back home directly.
However, at this time, Niamh unconsciously thought about Fabian, and she also recalled what he said yesterday.
“Nia, what are you thinking about?”
Niamh quickly came back to her senses and smiled at Kendrick. “I was wondering how my husband suddenly appeared in front of me so magically, of course.”
She sighed ruefully and took Kendrick’s hand.
“The situation just now was so urgent. Fortunately, you showed up. Otherwise, I don’t know what Carter would do to Lily and me.”
“So, why do you have to face this kind of danger alone, huh?” Kendrick asked in a reproachful tone, but in fact, he was concerned.
Niamh glanced at Lillian who was playing on the side at this moment and sighed silently. “I’m Lily’s mother, so what else wouldn’t I do for her?”
“Didn’t you think about your husband before you took the risk?” Kendrick furrowed his sharp eyebrows, his expression right now seemed more serious.
Niamh paused and knew that Kendrick was not joking. He was serious about this.
“Sorry, Kendrick.”
“Don’t apologize to me. Did you forget that we’re a family?” Kendrick emphasized, raising his hand and stroking Niamh’s cheek. “Fortunately, I showed up in time. Remember, you are not allowed to do such risky things in the future. “
“I know. I will listen to my husband, ” Niamh agreed with a grin, making her eyes to turn into little crescents. However, there was still some protest in her heart.
If she had to face such a choice again next time, her choice would remain the same.
Kendrick was very important to her, but her children were equally important.
“By the way, Kendrick, how did you suddenly appear?” Niamh asked curiously.
Seeing Niamh’s curiosity, Kendrick raised his long fingers and tapped the tip of Niamh’s pretty nose.
“How dare you ask me this? Since when did you hang up so hurriedly when you’re on the phone with me and not even say goodbye?”
Upon hearing this, Niamh remembered the phone call yesterday.
