Niamh asked urgently, looking at the spots on her baby princess’s skin. At that moment, she only felt distressed.
Shirley gently put the piece of paper on the coffee table. “Carter didn’t lie to you, and the formula is true. Also, even though there is indeed no antidote, I can try to make one. But I just don’t know if I can buy the corresponding materials needed for the antidote.“
“Don’t worry too much about this, I can ask Evan for help.“ Fabian was very confident.
Shirley nodded, her expression becoming anxious again.
“Are you worried about Carter?“ Niamh saw something wrong with Shirley’s expression, so she could vaguely guess the reason behind it.
“Yes, I’m worried about him,“ Shirley replied, chuckling involuntarily.
“I know that his life won’t be in danger, but when he wakes up, he will definitely be sent back to St. Piaf where he will be severely punished.“
Shirley said with a long sigh, followed by a melancholic question.
“Fame, wealth, power, status. Are they really that important to a man?“
“These are very important to a man, but they must not be obtained through improper means. Carter ended up where he has today because he took the wrong path.“
Niamh’s answer caused Shirley to fall into contemplation.
Perhaps she was also half responsible for why Carter had become what he was today.
Back then, she never objected nor corrected him when he asked her to do those things. She merely blindly followed his instructions. If she could stop it then, the outcome might be different.
Shirley had been waiting for updates about Carter while Niamh also waited for news.
She waited not only for Carter to wake up, but she also hoped that Fabian’s people could find Kendrick. However, after she waited and waited, they could not find any clues at all.
At this time, Niamh remembered one thing.
The locations of Kendrick and her mobile phones were linked to each other, Niamh immediately looked up the location of Kendrick’s phone, but what she did not expect was that the location the red dot displayed was actually the old address of Stygian Johnson Gang, which was where she and Fabian had gone early in the morning.
It was already dark, but Niamh did not delay. She called a car and rushed to the place where she had gone in the morning.
After getting out of the car, she followed the red dot on the screen and walked in. It was already dark, and the big house was pitch black.
Niamh turned on the phone’s flashlight and walked into the dark.
When she nearly arrived, she stopped in her tracks.
There was a table not far in front of her. Upon seeing the objects placed on it, Niamh was stunned for a few seconds before she rushed toward the table.
Kendrick’s phone and wedding ring were still clearly visible in the dim light.
Niamh picked up the wedding ring and phone, certain that Kendrick must have been here, but Niamh did not know where he went afterward.
When she recalled the depth of Carter’s hatred for Kendrick, Niamh became more anxious.
“Kendrick. “ Niamh squeezed the ring and phone in her hand and gently called out Kendrick’s name.
“No, Eveline, you have to calm down, you must calm down.“
Niamh said repeatedly to keep her emotions in check and force herself to calm down.
She looked at the red dot on the phone, which indicated that Kendrick’s location was nearby, and then she recalled what happened this morning in her mind.
At the time, Fabian brought her here, but not long after she went inside, Carter came out of place. Since Carter had still been here at the time, Kendrick should be here as well.
“Is Kendrick still here?“
As she thought about this, Niamh’s heart skipped a beat.
It was getting late, and none of the lights here could be turned on. As such, Niamh could only rely on the light of her phone to look around.
However, she nearly searched the entire house and still could not find any trace of Kendrick.
Eventually, Niamh returned to Fabian’s villa in despair.
When Fabian saw that she was back, he told her immediately that there was news from the hospital that Carter was awake, but Carter was still a little confused.
This meant that Carter was completely incapable of providing any useful information to Niamh.
She still had no way of knowing where Kendrick could be.
Time passed slowly, and Niamh could not sleep peacefully.
She felt as if her heart had been suspended in mid – air; she felt very perturbed.
Niamh was not in the mood to sleep at all. She turned to look at the little cutie lying beside her, sleeping peacefully, and eventually, her restless heart was filled with so much warmth and relief.
“Lily, when I find Daddy, we’ll go home together. I know you want to stay with Fab, but we still have many opportunities to do that in the future, don’t we?“
Niamh spoke softly. The little cutie who was sleeping soundly did not respond, but her pink lips moved slightly.
Niamh looked at the apple of her eyes affectionately before slowly getting up and walking out of the room.
As soon as she reached the top of the stairs, Niamh saw someone sitting by the French window in the living room on the second floor.
Niamh turned around and walked over. Upon taking a closer using the moonlight, she realized that it was Shirley.
Niamh wanted to turn on a light because of the dark, but she heard Shirley stopping her.
“Don’t turn on the lights.”
Upon hearing this, Niamh’s fingertip that had just found the switch paused gently.
“Thank you.”
After Shirley thanked her, she sighed sorrowfully.
“I have known Carter for more than ten years, and I met him when I thought my parents had abandoned me.”
“At the time, he came into my life like a beam of light, illuminating my bleak future. After that, I rediscovered myself and my confidence.“
Shirley recounted with a faint smile on her face, but the smile was quickly dissipated in the moonlight.
Her eyes gradually lost their light.
“But in the end, he took away my confidence…“
Shirley laughed bitterly at herself, and Niamh knew what she meant.
“I can completely understand your feelings.“
Niamh walked slowly to Shirley’s side, but a very relieved smile appeared on her small face.
“I used to be the same as you. I didn’t have any self- respect and self-love in front of the man I love, but then I found out that loving someone blindly like that is like a moth flying into a fire. It’s asking for humiliation.“
“Unfortunately, I understood it too late.“
Shirley said regretfully, lifting her gaze to look at Niamh.
“Even though you blindly loved Kendrick back then, you’re not the same as me. If you were me, you would’ve stopped Kendrick if he went on the wrong path, but instead of stopping Carter, I was his accomplice. In the end, he went on a road where he couldn’t turn back.“
“He still has a chance to turn back now.“ Niamh raised her beautiful eyebrows lightly. “Shirley, I hope you can help me again.“
“You want me to help you ask Carter about Kendrick’s whereabouts?“
Niamh nodded solemnly. “Kendrick must be trapped somewhere right now. I ‘m really worried.“
Shirley lowered her eyes and pondered for a few seconds, then she said, “I ‘m not sure what Carter’s mental state is now. If he thinks that his life is going to be over, maybe he won’t tell me anything. But no matter what, I’ll give it a try.“
Shirley promised. Early the next morning, she went to the hospital where Carter was; Niamh went with her too.
The two shots had hit Carter on his right shoulder and his left leg. Those shots did not hurt his vital organs, so he should not be in a bad condition.
However, the man guarding the door told them that Carter had not woken up yet.
Shirley felt it a little strange. She explained the situation to the guard, but that person did not allow Shirley to enter the room.
Niamh truly had no patience to wait like this, so she kept her emotions under control and explained the situation as calmly as possible.
“I know that it is very important for you to bring Carter back to St. Piaf, but now, only he knows my husband’s whereabouts, and Carter likely locked my husband up in a very dangerous place.“
“So? What about it?“ the man asked rhetorically and indifferently after blankly listening to what Niamh had said.
Niamh was a little frustrated, but she still tried her best to keep her emotions in check. “So, now I have reason to suspect Carter is pretending to be unconscious. He has already woken up, but he just wants to delay time and leave my husband in a dangerous situation! “
“Do you have any evidence to prove that Carter is related to your husband’s disappearance?“ The man was still stubborn.
