After losing her balance from the push, she thought she would plunge into the water, but Kendrick did not let this happen.
Although he was very tired, he still caught Niamh firmly.
When Carter saw this, a knowing smile appeared on his face.
”It seems that you should be quite satisfied now. At least, if you can’t be born on the same day, you can die on the same day, am I right? Hmph.”
Carter smirked sinisterly, turned around, and left.
The heavy iron door was quickly closed, leaving only Kendrick holding Niamh in a bridal carry in the pool.
Niamh knew that Carter would not come back and release them, so she did not hold any hope.
Her heart felt more grounded now that she had seen Kendrick.
“Kendrick. “ Niamh glanced at the man, raised her arm to circle around his neck, and hugged him tightly.
“I was really worried about you. You said that you would see Carter after thinking of a countermeasure, but why did you take the risk alone? You know he wants to deal with you, so why did you walk directly into his trap?“
After listening to Niamh’s complaints, Kendrick could feel Niamh’s care and concern for him.
He pulled his sexy and beautiful lips into a smile. “ I’m fine, don’t worry.“
“You’re still saying you’re fine?“ Niamh let go of her hands, distress filled her wet but beautiful eyes. “ Hurry and let me down first.“
“I’m not tired.“
“Are you planning to hold me like this until Carter lets us out?“
Niamh asked rhetorically, it was obviously impossible.
However, Kendrick insisted and said, “I’ll carry you for as long as I can. I don’t want you to suffer in the water like me.“
“We’re husband and wife, so it’s only right to share our weal and woes. Put me down now,“ Niamh also insisted.
Kendrick did not want to go against Niamh’s wishes, so he let her down obediently.
After Niamh landed, she saw that the water in the pool was up to her calf.
The water was not dirty. It was clear but very cold.
With the cold winter temperatures, the water was bone-chilling.
When she thought about how Kendrick had been soaking in such a pool for the past two days, Niamh’s tears fell against her volition.
When Kendrick saw her crying, he quickly raised his hand to wipe away the tears overflowing from the corners of her eyes.
“Why are you crying for a scum like me again?“ he asked jokingly, trying to make Niamh relax.
However, not only did she not stop, she was crying even harder now.
She was the tough and strong Eveline Montgomery in front of others.
However, in front of Kendrick, she was just a delicate and fragile little woman.
The more Kendrick looked at her, the more distressed he felt.
“Alright, don’t cry, Nia. I’m fine. Carter only traps me here, but he still gives me food and drink. He won’t torture me to death like this.”
When she heard this, Niamh took a deep breath and recomposed herself.
“He’s insane.”
“He looked injured, is that right?”
“Yeah.” Niamh nodded and told Kendrick what happened yesterday.
Kendrick sighed sorrowfully. “So many things happened out there yesterday, yet I couldn’t hear anything.” “The people from St. Piaf are here, and they’re about to capture him. I think he’ll use the cruelest and most savage methods to deal with us these two days. Kendrick, I’ve been so worried about you.”
After noticing the intense worry in Niamh’s eyes, Kendrick squeezed her hand and comforted her softly.
“Nia, we have overcome so many difficulties. I believe that this time, we’ll also be able to avert disaster. Trust me.“
He gave a firm promise and then asked nervously.
“By the way, how’s Lily? Carter said he told you the plan to treat Lily. He didn’t lie to me, did he?“
When she heard this, Niamh felt a pang of pain in her heart again.
“So, you listened to Carter and let him manipulate you and trap you here for the sake of our daughter?“
Niamh asked, her heart feeling getting heavier and heavier.
“Don’t you know what kind of person Carter is? He doesn’t deserve any of your trust.“
Upon hearing this, Kendrick’s expression changed anxiously.
“So, Carter didn’t tell you how to treat Lily? Lily still has rashes all over?“
It was clear that Kendrick was angry and anxious. On the one hand, he was worried about his baby girl, while on the other hand, he was angry that he had been fooled by Carter.
When she saw Kendrick in this state, Niamh quickly explained, “Don’t worry, Kendrick, Lily’s situation has improved.“
“Really?“ Kendrick did not quite believe it, but when he saw Niamh, he nodded with certainty.
“Really, “ Niamh emphasized. “But it has nothing to do with Carter. He just told me why this is happening, and Shirley is the only one with the solution.“
“Shirley?“
“Carter probably injected Lily with a test reagent when she was asleep. But this test reagent has no antidote at all, and now only Shirley can make the antidote.“
When Kendrick heard this, he understood. Carter had fooled him.
Back then, he had not given it much thought because he was worried about the child.
As long as Lillian could recover, as her father, Kendrick would sacrifice anything for her; he would dare to do anything.
However, now that he caused Niamh to be trapped here with him, Kendrick felt reluctant.
He said he would protect her in the future, but he could never protect her well.
However, Niamh would never blame him, of course. She knew how much Kendrick wanted to protect her and spoil her.
After receiving the call from Niamh, Fabian drove to the Stygian Johnson Gang house as fast as possible.
However, after searching all over, he could not find Niamh.
Worried, Fabian called Niamh’s number, but the call could not go through.
Could not go through? How could it be?
Fabian was feeling restless, and all of a sudden, he felt perturbed.
Time passed slowly, and the people Fabian had sent out could not find Carter or Niamh.
As such, Fabian had no choice but to go back to his villa. Once he entered the door, Lily ran toward him and called out for her daddy and mommy in front of him.
Fabian knew Lillian wanted Kendrick and Niamh, but right now, Fabian felt very helpless.
He could only comfort Lillian and promise her.
“Lily, your daddy is busy with work and can’t leave for the time being. Your mommy is helping your daddy too. When they are done, they will come together to take you home.“
Fabian explained patiently with a gentle smile on his handsome face.
Lillian blinked. She seemed to understand what Fabian was saying, and she did not call out for her mom and dad anymore.
However, Fabian’s heartbeat sank inexplicably. “ Lily, when your parents come back to pick you up, do you really want to go home with them?“
It was unknown if Lillian understood the expectation and dissatisfaction in Fabian’s eyes because she stretched out her small palm and gently held Fabian’s hand.
Upon feeling the warmth from the little cutie’s palm in his, a subtle sweetness seemed to instantly fill Fabian’s heart.
He rolled up Lillian’s sleeves and saw the unfading red spots on her skin, then he furrowed his brows tightly.
Shirley just came out at this moment, so Fabian took Lillian’s little hand and then slowly stood up.
“Miss Brown, how’s the progress? When will the red spots on Lily’s skin disappear?“
Shirley frowned and spoke guiltily.
