“I can attest to it,“ Shirley said to help Niamh.
Dismissively, the man lowered his head and glanced at Shirley who was seated in the wheelchair. “Your words are not sufficient as proof.“
“Not sufficient as proof?“ Shirley smiled. “If I hadn’t given you information, could you have arrested Carter so smoothly?“
Upon hearing what Shirley said, the man froze. At that moment, he did not seem to know how to answer this question.
When she saw that the man was in a daze, Niamh stepped forward decisively. She immediately pushed open the door to the ward.
“Stop right there! “ the man said hurriedly in response to stop her, but after he went in after Niamh, he was stunned by what was in front of him.
“W—What’s going on? How is this possible?“
The man looked at the empty hospital bed in astonishment. He could not believe what he was seeing.
He immediately ran to the windowsill with a panic expression and saw that the window was open.
Moreover, there were a few obvious footprints on the windowsill outside.
This was the fifth floor. Carter had actually jumped down from such a height!
Panicking, the man immediately called his superiors.
Niamh and Shirley shared a look and walked out of the room together.
Not long after, Niamh pushed Shirley directly toward below the room from just now.
There were indeed traces of someone stepping on the flowerbed. As such, they were basically certain that Carter had climbed down from the fifth floor and escaped.
He had been shot twice, and the wounds on his arm and leg were pretty severe, but he was still able to escape like this while under surveillance. Niamh could not help but sigh.
“His stamina has always been good, but I didn’t expect him to be able to do what he wants under such circumstances.“
Shirley sighed and the smile on her lips became more sarcastic.
“Why can’t he just turn back?“
By now, Niamh had no hope for Carter.
She frowned and slowly opened her lips. “Everyone will go on different paths, but I guess Carter wants to go this way. He doesn’t want to look back because he just wants to achieve his own goals.“
After listening to Niamh’s words, Shirley’s eyes were filled with despair.
She closed her eyes and lost all hope.
In fact, her heart was already dead, but she had not reconciled, so she still struggled on the brink of death. However, she had finally given up now.
Niamh immediately called Fabian, hoping that he could help find Carter’s whereabouts.
She would only know where Kendrick was after she found Carter.
However, the whole day passed without any news.
Carter seemed to have evaporated from the hospital because he was not seen in any of the footage of the surveillance cameras.
Niamh could not wrap her head around this. Could Carter do magic?
However, this was of course impossible. He must have avoided surveillance by some other means.
It was very likely that he was on his way to Kendrick now.
If nothing bad had happened to Kendrick, then Carter would definitely get rid of Kendrick before something happened to him.
When she thought about this, Niamh felt as if her heart had been set on fire. Her heart felt so anxious and painful.
“Kendrick, where on earth are you?”
Distressed, Niamh fidgeted with Kendrick’s phone and ring restlessly.
At this moment, Lillian walked to her side. The little cutie called out to her, but Niamh, too focused on missing Kendrick, did not hear her.
When the little cutie tugged on her skirt, Niamh finally came back to her senses.
“Lily.” She squatted apologetically and held the little cutie’s hand. “Lily, what’s wrong? Do you feel unwell? Where does it hurt? Tell me.”
Lillian shook her little head and said one word to Niamh. “Daddy.”
Daddy.
She missed her daddy.
Her daddy had held her two days ago and played with her so lovingly and warmly, but suddenly, her daddy was gone.
When Niamh heard Lily say that, she felt even more uneasy. At the same time, she was also feeling distressed.
“Lily, Daddy has something to do. He’ll be back when he’s done. Can you wait a little longer?“
Lillian was an obedient and sensible child, so when Niamh said that, she nodded sensibly.
Niamh looked at Lillian with gratification and then rolled up Lillian’s sleeves to look at her skin.
The small red spots on her skin were still very obvious, but those red spots had not increased compared to when they started appearing.
It was because Shirley had asked Evan to buy an oral medicine to temporarily keep the disease under control.
Shirley truly had not expected Carter to take action on such a young child.
He must have given the child the injection at night when she and Lillian were both asleep.
Shirley also did not know how many of the half- completed test reagents she previously developed Carter had.
Perhaps when he thought it was necessary, he would use this extreme method to achieve his goal.
Shirley could not help but fall into contemplation. Suddenly, she felt that she did not know Carter. The first impression she had of him was that he was positive, modest, and gentle. As such, why did he seem like another person when they met again?
Maybe people change.
As time passed, Niamh’s heartbeat grew heavier and heavier.
She turned on Kendrick’s phone and blankly opened the album in his gallery.
After entering the password that she knew by heart, the album opened, and it was filled with photos of her family. However, Niamh found that her photos took up more space.
She smiled knowingly. She knew that deep in Kendrick’s heart, she was the most important person.
However, as she smiled, glistening tears quietly overflowed from the corners of her eyes.
‘Kendrick, where on earth are you? ‘Where has Carter hidden you?
‘Were you really so stupid to allow Carter to manipulate you for Lily’s sake?’
Niamh thought in her heart, and her heart became tighter and tighter.
Perhaps she so was tired that she unknowingly fell asleep while leaning back on the sofa.
She had no idea how much time had passed when she slowly opened her eyes. She turned on the phone and looked at the time, and she found that she had accidentally opened the memo unbeknownst to her.
Niamh could not remember when she opened it, so she figured she must have accidentally pressed it while she was still groggy.
At a glance, she saw that most of the memo was related to work. There were also some trivial details about daily life, such as what to buy for the child after getting off work and what he would give her as presents.
The sight of these warmed Niamh’s heart. She could imagine that Kendrick must be at his most tender state when he was writing those memos about them.
It was heartwarming for Niamh to read the memos. When she was about to close the memo and get up, she realized that the first memo had been recorded at the time before Kendrick’s disappearance a few days ago.
Niamh’s heart pounded, and she opened the memo quickly.
There were only two short sentences. [Nia, if you can’t find me, don’t worry too much. Trust me, I will always be by you and the children’s side.]
After reading this sentence, Niamh somehow felt her whole body getting stuck in a trance.
An intense uneasiness and chill surged from the soles of the feet.
“Kendrick.“
Niamh murmured and stood up suddenly.
As soon as Fabian came in from the outside, he saw Niamh running out hurriedly past him.
“Eveline, where are you going?“ Fabian asked worriedly.
