“Are you for real this time?“ Fabian was a little excited, but he forced himself to stay calm when he asked that.
“Yeah.“ Kendrick nodded lightly. “Nia and I have been out for a while, so we have to go back. Since Lily is fine here, we have no worries.“
Fabian felt both at ease and happy when he heard this.
His eyes were nearly bursting with joy.
A few days later, Shirley finally came out with the antidote.
After injecting Lillian with it, the rashes on her gradually disappeared.
After another two days of observation, it was confirmed that Lillian had no other complications. A s such, Niamh and Kendrick went to the airport with peace of mind the next day.
At this moment, Fabian stood aside holding Lillian’s hand.
Niamh reluctantly squatted in front of Lillian and touched that cute face affectionately.
“Lily, you have to listen to Fab. If you miss me and Daddy, ask Fab to take you home, okay?“
Lillian blinked her eyes sensibly, but she seemed reluctant for Niamh and Kendrick to leave.
She raised her little hand and gently held Niamh’s hand. “Mommy.“
The little cutie uttered those two words obediently.
Niamh was eager to hear the little cutie say more, but in the end, her wish did not come true.
Niamh also knew that getting Lillian back to talking normally would be a long battle, so she did not feel the urgency the way she had before.
“Lily, be good.“ Kendrick also walked over, touching her little head affectionately. “If you miss me, Daddy, and your brothers, ask Fab to take you home. Lily, you must remember that Fab isn’t the only one who treats you well.“
Lillian understood what Kendrick was trying to tell her. The cutie then nodded and called out, “Daddy.“
Kendrick was very pleased. Even though he felt reluctant, he and Niamh still got on the plane together.
A few hours later, Niamh and Kendrick returned to the Waldburg family home, and Karen could not help complaining when they learned that they had not brought Lillian back.
“You’re really something else. You actually let an outsider take care of your daughter? Do you think that person can take care of Lily meticulously?
Besides, Lily’s body is different from ordinary children’s. Who will be responsible if there’s something wrong with her body?“
Karen criticized Niamh and Kendrick.
“This is the result of you two going abroad for so long.“
As they listened to Karen’s complaint, Niamh raised her eyes and smiled at Kendrick.
They did not say what had happened in F Country so they would not worry their family again. Finally, Niamh smiled and explained kindly.
“Mom, don’t worry, Lily is fine now, and I can guarantee that that person will take care of Lily more carefully than any of us.“
Karen glanced at Niamh suspiciously and complained, “I don’t know if you’re lying to me or not.“
“Of course, we’re not lying, “ Kendrick promised and then took Niamh’s hand. “Mom, Nia and I are a bit tired after running around for the past few days, so we’ll head back to the room to rest.“
“Go ahead, “ Karen said, seemingly impatient as she dismissed them, and then she remembered something. “By the way, I received a courier two days ago and it’s for you, Kendrick.“
Karen said, turned around, and went to take it for Kendrick.
Kendrick took a look and it was a document, but the sender was a name he had never heard before.
Seeing that Niamh had gone upstairs, Kendrick did not bother with the delivery. After returning to the room with Niamh, he took a shower and fell asleep.
Kendrick and Niamh only opened their eyes lazily until Karen came to call them to eat dinner at nightfall.
After going downstairs, Niamh saw that her parents were also there.
Eloise’s eyes, always full of warm maternal love, were upon Niamh. She knew that Niamh had been very busy for the past few days, so she handed food to Niamh several times and asked her to eat more.
Niamh could feel Eloise’s concern and love for her. She finally understood how Eloise felt after she became a mother.
She suddenly thought about Lillian, and she felt a little lost and apologetic.
“Kendrick, did we make a mistake? Should we not leave Lily in F Country?“
Kendrick understood what Niamh wanted to say. He smiled softly and replied, “Lily is willing to stay with Fabian, so it means our decision isn’t wrong.“
Upon hearing that, Niamh did not feel as conflicted anymore.
After dinner, Eloise talked about some private topics with Niamh, and then she suddenly mentioned something. “Eveline, the construction of our house has been finished for some time. After so many incidents, your dad and I have been thinking and considering a lot of things. Finally, we decided to let you take over Montgomery Enterprise.“
Niamh was slightly stunned. She did not know what to say.
“Eveline, don’t think too much. Don’t think that we’re trying to make things up for you by doing this. That’s not it at all.“
“I didn’t think that way, “ Niamh quickly explained when she saw that Eloise had misunderstood her. “I just think that I’m still inexperienced.“
“How are you inexperienced?“ Eloise insisted, “Your dad and I can see your capabilities, Eveline. Plus, your father will help you when the time comes too.“
“Um…“
“Eveline, just say yes, okay?“ Eloise held Niamh’s hand and helped Niamh decide affectionately.
Kendrick heard this at one side, and he did not think that this was bad.
Niamh was the only legal successor of Montgomery Enterprise, so it would belong to her sooner or later. However, this day had arrived early.
He smiled as he thought about that. As he did that, h e ripped open the courier package.
It was a document, so Kendrick thought it was from his company or something, but after opening it, he found that it was not a document, nor was it anything of the sort.
There was an envelope inside. Kendrick looked at it suspiciously for a while before opening the envelope.
However, when he opened it, his eyes sank when he saw the contents inside.
There was nothing in it except for a photo of Niamh. In this photo, Niamh was standing downstairs in Waldburg Corporation. She seemed to be waiting for someone with a slight smile on her face.
This was a very normal photo, but Kendrick felt uncomfortable looking at it.
It was because there was a big cross on Niamh’s face in the photo.
To avoid letting Niamh find out, Kendrick quickly put the photo away and pretended to walk aside to make a call as if nothing happened.
He called Ken, and after the call had connected, he told Ken the tracking number of the courier and asked Ken to check the source of it.
After Kendrick was done giving him the order, Kendrick hung up the phone and turned around, only to see Niamh standing behind him.
“Nia?“ He was taken aback, and he looked behind Niamh, slightly astonished. “Where’s Mom?
Weren’t you guys chatting just now?“
Niamh smiled. “Mom and Jack went to play with Pudding. How about you? Is there anything wrong with that courier?“
“…“ Kendrick had not expected Niamh to be so direct, so he was slightly stunned. “Nia, you… “
“Even though I was talking to mom just now, I spotted you. So, what’s in that courier? Why do you need to walk away to make that call?“
Looking at Niamh, who was looking at him with a slight smile, Kendrick suddenly felt frustrated. What else could he hide from her?
Kendrick did not intend to hide anymore. As such. he handed the document to Niamh.
Compared to Kendrick’s concern, Niamh merely curled her lips indifferently after opening the envelope and seeing the photo inside.
When he saw Niamh’s indifferent demeanor, Kendrick was very worried. “Nia, it looks like another wave of trouble is about to rise the moment the previous one dies down.“
Niamh smiled and put away the photo. “Don’t let your parents see it, lest they worry. I think I know who did it, so don’t worry too much.“
Kendrick was surprised. “Nia, do you know who sent this?“
Niamh nodded slightly. “I can guess who it was. “
After she said that, Kendrick wanted to follow up curiously, but coincidentally, they heard Karen’s excited voice.
“Eveline, Kendrick, come and see! Pudding knows how to run!”
Pudding knew how to run.
Kendrick and Niamh looked at each other, delight rushed into their hearts.
“Come, let’s go look at Pudding.” As Kendrick spoke, he lifted his arm to put it on Niamh’s shoulder and they walked to the living room together.
