When she saw that Carter was about to be taken away, Shirley rolled the wheels of her wheelchair with all her strength to follow him.
Carter was resentful at this moment, but he could not resist.
Eventually, his hateful eyes fell on Shirley, and the hatred in his eyes instantly dissipated, turning into a touch of warmth and tenderness.
“Stop following me, “ Carter shouted to Shirley who was tailing him, his eyes filled with a rare touch of warmth.
“You should go with them and slowly forget about me.”
When he said this, it seemed that a painful emotion had flashed across Carter’s eyes.
“Shirley, we’re destined to be separated. I hope you can live a good life.“
After saying this, Carter went into the car that would detain him without looking back.
Shirley still wanted to rush over to him, but Niamh held her back. “Shirley, don’t be impulsive.“
Shirley was on the verge of an emotional breakdown, and at this moment, she broke down.
“Don’t stop me! I want to go with him! If he’s guilty, then I must be guilty too! “ Shirley tried her best to get close to Carter.
Niamh could not bear it. As she was about to let go, Fabian strode over to stop her at this moment.
“Shirley, you can’t go with him! If you think you are guilty, you should first develop an antidote. Lily is still waiting for you to save her! “
It sounded as if Fabian was roaring this.
He was truly afraid that Shirley would just leave like this or get into some kind of accident. If that happened, there would be no way to heal the red spots on Lillian’s body.
Shirley seemed taken aback by Fabian’s words. She could not act so impulsively.
Lillian still awaited Shirley to develop an antidote for her.
Shirley had already made a lot of mistakes, and now she must make up for it.
Shirley stopped struggling, and instead, she merely watched the car that held Carter moving further and further away.
She merely stayed where she was, letting her tears gradually drown out her sight. Eventually, she could no longer see anything …
A while later, Niamh and the rest returned to Fabian’s villa.
At this point, Lillian had been put to sleep by the servants.
Niamh and Kendrick took a bath together to wash away the cold.
What made Niamh thankful was that although Kendrick had been trapped in the pool for so long, he had not contracted a cold or any other discomfort.
His body was truly strong.
After going downstairs, Fabian had already asked the servant to prepare a warm meal.
Shirley sat aside dazedly. When she spotted Kendrick and Niamh coming downstairs, she slowly turned the wheelchair over to face them.
“Carter said that you were all trapped in a pool more than two meters deep. How did you get out?”
At the mention of this, Niamh and Kendrick looked at each other and smiled tacitly.
“Actually, we nearly drowned.“ Niamh sighed with a smile and then recalled the scene.
At the time, the water level was slowly rising, and only when the water level reached below her waist did Niamh think of a way to save herself.
“Kendrick, do you still have the strength? I should be able to reach the edge of the pool if I stand on your shoulders.“
Kendrick seemed to realize this too, “I can do it, Nia.“
He said firmly and slowly squatted in front of Niamh. Since their clothes were getting wet, Niamh felt that her weight had increased a lot.
Moreover, Kendrick had been in the water for two days, so she was worried that his legs would not be able to support her weight.
Sure enough, as soon as she crawled on his back, she felt Kendrick’s legs buckled out of exhaustion.
She stopped moving immediately and looked at him worriedly. “Kendrick, are your legs very weak now?“
Kendrick did not hide it. He nodded; his face was rather solemn.
“Nia, don’t think about it so much. We don’t have a choice now. Don’t worry, I can bear it.“
Niamh knew Kendrick could bear it, but she could not.
“Kendrick…“
“Nia, come up quickly, don’t think anymore. If you keep thinking about it, we will die here.“
Upon hearing what Kendrick said, Niamh no longer dared to hesitate.
After getting up onto Kendrick’s back, Niamh moved upward with all she had. With the strength of Kendrick’s arms, Niamh finally stood on Kendrick’s shoulder.
As soon as he stood up, Kendrick’s legs bucked again from the numbness.
However, he did not let himself fall. He stood firmly and moved to the side of the pool slowly while holding Niamh’s hands.
Niamh reached out immediately, and she was just tall enough to touch the edge of the pool.
Kendrick was actually a little weak in his legs, but when he thought about his children and the love of his life on his back, he forced himself to stand up straight and pushed Niamh up with all his strength.
Niamh also knew that Kendrick was struggling, but she could no longer be indecisive at this time.
She struggled upward and then her hands finally grabbed the edge of the pool.
“Kendrick, I’m almost there.“
“Nia, put your feet on my shoulders and jump with all your might, “ said Kendrick.
Niamh put her foot on Kendrick’s shoulder but hesitated again. She was worried that she would use too much force, causing Kendrick to fall from his already weakened legs.
However, amidst her worry and hesitation, Kendrick quickly and decisively grabbed Niamh’s foot and pushed her up.
Due to this external force, Niamh was instantly pushed up.
Immediately after, Niamh heard a splash. She immediately looked back and saw that Kendrick had fallen into the water.
“Kendrick! “ Niamh hurriedly stretched her hand to Kendrick, but no matter how far she reached out, she could not reach him.
Niamh quickly got up, ran to the corner of the pool, and lowered the folding stairs.
However, she found that the stairs had been destroyed halfway through.
Carter must have done this.
Niamh was extremely anxious when she saw more and more water fill the pool.
She looked around and saw that there was only a single chair. As such, she pulled the chair over without even thinking about it.
“Kendrick, I’ll throw the chair down for you to step on. Then, I’ll pull you up! “
Niamh said and threw the chair into the water. Kendrick stood up strenuously and brought the chair to the edge of the pool near Niamh and stepped on it.
Niamh reached out and grabbed Kendrick’s hand tightly.
“Kendrick! “
“Nia, my legs are a bit weak. Why don’t you go out and call someone first?“
“I ‘d like to go out and call for someone, but there isn’t anyone around. I’m afraid that if I went too far, something bad would happen to you. I can’t leave here. I can’t let you disappear from my sight! “
Niamh emphasized, holding Kendrick’s hand harder. “Kendrick, I ‘ll pull you up, I’ll definitely be able to!“ “Nia.“
Looking at Niamh trying so hard and so determined, Kendrick was also determined not to let himself fall at this critical moment.
However, his legs were too weak and numb. Worried that he would pull Niamh down if he exerted too much force, Kendrick decided to let go.
Niamh could see what Kendrick was trying to do, so she abruptly knelt down and stretched out her hands to grasp Kendrick’s wrist tightly.
“Kendrick, you’re not allowed to let go, do you hear me? I’ll definitely pull you up! “ Niamh gritted her pearly whites, her unwavering scarlet eyes looked at the water that was almost above Kendrick’s shoulders. She felt as if her heart was being burnt; she felt so anxious and tormented.
Over time, Niamh, too, gradually felt powerless. She felt like she could no longer pull Kendrick up.
It was at that instant the iron door of the basement was suddenly pushed open.
Niamh did not have time to see who was coming before that person quickly came to her side and squatted to help her pull Kendrick up.
