Niamh was deliberately irritating Carter. When Carter furrowed his eyebrows, it was clear that he was really dissatisfied by what Niamh had said.
He thought of Shirley and her current attitude. He could not accept Shirley’s current disregard for him, let alone this so-called telepathy.
When she saw that Carter’s expression was gradually turning unpleasant, Niamh felt a bit joyful in her heart.
“Carter, now that we’ve reached this point, are you still insisting that you are not wrong?“
“I don’t need you to judge whether I’m right or wrong, and I don’t care what anyone thinks of me.“ Carter remained proudly insistent on his opinions.
“So, it doesn’t matter how Shirley sees you?“ Niamh asked in turn.
Carter frowned and his gaze darkened. “Eveline, don’t try to distract me with Shirley. Let’s get back on topic. Do you want to know where Kendrick is?“
“Isn’t that nonsense? Of course, I want to know where my husband is, but will you tell me?“ Niamh was anxious and worried about Kendrick, but on the surface, she appeared to be calm and composed.
Carter looked at Niamh with admiration. Suddenly, he displayed a sly smile.
“Of course, I will tell you.“
Carter’s words surprised Niamh quite a bit.
However, from Carter’s ill-intentioned smile, Niamh knew that Carter must have his purpose in saying so.
“Will you really tell me where Kendrick is?“ “I will take you to see him now.“
After Carter finished speaking coldly, he turned around.
With his leg injured, he walked very slow. Niamh started following Carter.
Although Carter was walking slowly, Niamh found out that he had a deep understanding of the internal structure of the Stygian Johnson Gang house.
Niamh followed him for a while and came to the back garden of the house.
The flowers in the yard had wilted, and there were many fallen leaves on the ground that had been neglected.
However, there was a piece of land with significantly fewer leaves nearby.
Niamh had a sudden thought when. at this moment, Carter walked over and pressed the hidden switch on the side of the flower bed, and then an intersection leading to the basement in the open area without fallen leaves appeared before him.
Unexpectedly, there was a hiding place in the Stygian Johnson Gang house. Niamh was surprised, but she figured that it was normal for Yorick to build such a place when he was in that kind of business.
However, Yorick probably did not let his younger brother Fabian know about these places.
Carter saw Niamh standing still while deep in thought and he laughed. “Why? Are you afraid?“
Niamh came back to her senses and strode to Carter. Her eyes were sharp when she said, “If I were afraid, I wouldn’t be here.“
She spoke and took the lead and walked down the stairs.
Seeing that Niamh went on so boldly, Carter followed suit.
Once they had arrived at the basement, Carter closed the door to the entrance of the basement so that no one would find it.
Niamh did not care about Carter. After entering the basement, she felt her heart beating restlessly.
She walked onward, and when she saw the black iron door, her heart skipped a beat. A strong premonition sprang up suddenly from the bottom of her heart.
She quickened her pace and ran to the iron door. After that, she raised her hand and firmly grasped the door handle.
“Kendrick?“
Presently, Kendrick did not hear Niamh calling out to him, but in that instance, he subconsciously looked toward the door.
“Nia?“
He felt doubtful, then, as that feeling intensified, the iron door in front of him was pushed open.
Niamh’s figure immediately appeared in Kendrick’s vision.
It was as though Kendrick’s eyes were filled with a sky full of stars at the moment as they shone brightly in an instant.
“Nia, is that you?”
After entering the room, Niamh did not see where Kendrick was.
After hearing his voice, she felt a sense of security, and at the same time, she looked in the direction of the voice.
However, to her surprise, she saw Kendrick trapped in a square pool.
“Kendrick!”
Niamh quickly ran to the side of the pool.
“Kendrick.” Niamh looked at the man who was looking up at her with worry and distress in her eyes.
Kendrick’s legs were in the cold water for two days. Presently, they were numb and freezing, but he still had to pretend nothing had happened as he walked to the side of the pool.
Niamh squatted quickly. Both of her knees touched the cold ground while she reached out to hold Kendrick’s hand that was reaching for hers.
“Kendrick, you’re really here. How dare he trapped you in such a place.”
Niamh tightly grabbed onto Kendrick’s hand, feeling the unusually low temperature of his palm.
The thought of Kendrick might have been soaking in the water for two days instantly made Niamh feel as if a thousand knives slit her heart.
When Kendrick saw that Niamh’s eyes were reddening and bordering on tears, Kendrick quickly tried to comfort her. “Nia, don’t be sad. I’m fine.“
“You’re fine? How can you be fine? You’ve been trapped in such a place for two days. How can you be fine?“ Niamh’s voice trembled. She tried to pull Kendrick up with her strength, but it was too difficult.
She looked around and found some stairs that could be lowered in the corner of the pool, so she hurriedly got up and ran over.
“Nia.“ Kendrick saw Niamh’s intentions, but he did not think Carter would let him out so smoothly.
“Nia, why did you come in here? You need to leave now. Carter will take action against you.“
Kendrick persuaded her despite knowing very well that Niamh would never listen to his persuasion.
“Kendrick, it’ll be over soon. I’ll lower the stairs so you can come up.“ Niamh ran to the corner of the pool. When she was about to lower the stairs, Carter came behind her.
“Eveline, do you think I asked you to come in to see Kendrick so you can take him away?“
Niamh felt a shadow towering over her as Carter’s voice came from behind her.
“Nia, run! “ Kendrick reminded her nervously again and again. At the same time, he warned Carter, “ Carter, it’s me you want. Don’t touch my wife! “
Kendrick warned, moving quickly towards Niamh’s direction.
However, being trapped here for the past two days had sapped his strength, and soaking in the water for so long had also numbed his legs. Too eager to go to Niamh, he suddenly felt a cramp in his legs, the pain of which caused him to suddenly stop in his tracks.
Noticing Kendrick’s discomfort, Niamh’s heart trembled. “What’s wrong, Kendrick?“
Kendrick quickly calmed Niamh’s emotions. “I’m fine. I’ve been soaking in the water for too long, so my legs are a little numb.“
He endured the pain and gave Niamh a relaxed smile. However, his eyes changed.
“Nia, listen to me. Leave now, I’ll be fine.“
“Kendrick, how are you so confident that you’ll be fine?“ Carter sneered. Suddenly, he stretched out his hand to pull Niamh up.
When Kendrick saw this, his gaze darkened. “Carter, let go of Nia! “
Carter sneered. He ignored the pain in his shoulder and violently grabbed Niamh’s wrist. “She really is the person you care about the most.“
He said and looked at Niamh, who glared at him coolly and did not show any weakness at all.
“I know that when you came in with me, you prepared for the worst, Eveline. I really admire a woman like you, so I’ll grant you your wish and allow you to stay with your favorite man.“
After Carter finished speaking, his eyes suddenly turned dark and he turned his somber gaze to Kendrick, who was extremely worried.
“Kendrick, I’ll give you your favorite woman now. Catch.“
Kendrick’s heart trembled when he heard the words. For an instant, he was confused.
“Carter, what are you doing?“
“Hmph.“ Carter smirked evilly and suddenly shoved Niamh toward the pool.
“Nia! “ Kendrick’s heart seemed to jump out of his throat in that instant. When he saw Niamh losing her balance from being pushed into the pool and he ignored all his discomfort and stretched out his arms to catch Niamh.
Niamh would never imagine that Carter would be so insane.
