Chapter 131 – Until You Say Sorry Novel

Niamh lifted her head and saw the lacerated flesh on Nevaeh’s right cheek. She was surprised, but at the same time, she felt that it was truly ironic. At the sight before her, she smiled.

She did not expect that Nevaeh would be disfigured one day.

Was this karma?

“Nevaeh, Nevaeh, don’t be scared. Kendrick’s here. He won’t let anything happen to you!” Rose ran up to her to comfort her. At the same time, she did not forget to involve Kendrick in this.

“Kendrick, take Nevaeh to the doctor to bandage her wounds. If not, she’ll have a scar on her face. It’ll be bad if that happens,” Rose said hurriedly, pushing Nevaeh to Kendrick.

Nevaeh lifted her tearful eyes to look at Kendrick who was still holding Niamh. “Kendrick, my face. My face… Am I hideous?”

“Kendrick, why are you still here? Nevaeh is bleeding so much. She’ll die!” Rose said in exaggeration.

Nevaeh lifted her head to see Kendrick frowning, looking like he was contemplating something.

However, in the next second, he let go of his arms that were around Niamh. He looked as if he was going to Nevaeh.

Just then, Niamh let out a low groan.

Kendrick shifted his gaze that was on Nevaeh to Niamh in the next second.

“What’s wrong?”

“Don’t mind me, Mr. Waldburg. I think I twisted my ankle. You should bring the noble Miss Delgado to bandage her face, just in case she dies from blood loss.”

Niamh’s words were laced with sarcasm. Rose and Nevaeh scowled at her, but they did not dare to argue with Niamh at this moment.

“Kendrick, Nevaeh is looking worse. Hurry up and—”

“You should bring her over first.” Kendrick interrupted Rose with a flat tone. Then, he turned around and grabbed Niamh’s hand. “I’ll take you to the orthopedics.”

“…” Nevaeh and Rose were astonished.

Niamh looked at the mother-daughter duo in awkwardness. “Don’t you think this is inappropriate?”

“It’ll be even worse if you’re hurt in any way,” Kendrick answered while placing his arm across Niamh’s shoulder. Then, he pulled her into his arms.

“Kendrick! Kendrick, a-are you really going to ignore me? Kendrick…” Nevaeh was in pain and was frantic.

Niamh curled the corner of her lips into a slight smile. She was over the moon when she thought about Nevaeh’s frustration and agitation.

Back then, how many times did she beg him when he had his back against her? Still, he would always walk away with no regard for her.

Now, the tables had turned. She was not the one suffering anymore.

Rose stomped her feet in anger when she saw Kendrick ignoring Nevaeh while walking away with Niamh. “Nevaeh, hurry! I’ll take you to the emergency department. You can’t have a scar on your face no matter what. If not, you’ll really lose Kendrick!”

When Nevaeh heard Rose saying that, she was fuming. However, she could only do what she was told.

“Vera Quinn, keep this in mind, I’ll make sure you pay for what you did!” She glared at Niamh’s back as she swore. Then, she turned around reluctantly.

“Are you really going to ignore your fiancé, Mr. Waldburg? She might have a scar on her face,” Niamh deliberately asked him this question.

Kendrick stopped, and there was a thought-provoking glint in his deep eyes. “Compared to her scars, I’m more concerned about whether your leg is hurting right now.”

His answer was out of Niamh’s expectation.

Her leg was fine. She had only said that to make Kendrick stay.

However, now that he mentioned it, she frowned and nodded. “A little.”

There was a hint of worry in Kendrick’s eyes after he heard that. In the next second, he circled his arm around Niamh’s lithe waist and lifted her off her feet.

Niamh was unprepared and did not see this coming.

However, at this moment, she was already being carried bridal-style by Kendrick.

“You shouldn’t be in as much pain now.” He gave her an explanation, his voice caressing her ear like a gentle breeze.

Niamh lifted her eyes to look at him in shock. From this angle, she could see Kendrick’s resolute and perfect jawline. His side profile was very good-looking despite the coldness in his eyes. However, at this moment, the warmth in his chest was seeping into her skin through his thin shirt. It was scorching and apparent.

However, Niamh did not feel moved nor touched.

She looked at Kendrick’s side profile while slowly clenching her fists. She felt a sense of mockery in her heart.

‘Kendrick, do you know how long I’ve been waiting for his hug?”

‘However, you’ve never given me an ounce of warmth before.

‘Do you know how much it hurt when you stabbed me in the heart?

‘You have no idea…’

Kendrick brought Niamh to the doctor. After making sure that she was not hurt, he was finally relieved.

Despite Niamh’s rejections, Kendrick still insisted on taking her back to the apartment.

Kendrick seemed to feel more at ease when he saw that Felipe was not around.

Niamh decided to kick him out as she was worried that he might notice something. “Mr. Waldburg, you should go visit your wife in the hospital.”

“I told you, she’s not my fiancé anymore,” he said coldly. He looked into Niamh’s eyes as a weird glint appeared. “Don’t call me Mr. Waldburg when we meet next time. You can call me by my name.”

Niamh looked at him in surprise. When she was about to say something, Kendrick’s phone rang.

He looked at the screen and his face quickly fell.

He hung up the phone, but after less than two seconds, it rang again.

This time, he answered it. The room was quiet, so Niamh could clearly hear that it was a woman on the other end of the phone. She sounded frantic as well.

She guessed that it was probably Rose.

“I’ll come over. Stop calling,” Kendrick replied frigidly. Then, he hung up the phone without hesitating even the slightest.

He looked at Niamh who was leaning against the bed. “Rest well. I’ll contact you soon.”

Niamh smiled and said profoundly, “I think we’ll see each other very soon.”

Kendrick looked at her charming face in the light of the setting sun. He was stuck in a daze for about two seconds before turning around.

After he left the room, he subconsciously turned his gaze over to the guest room.

He contemplated for a moment before turning the doorknob gently. The door was not locked. He did not go in and just took a look from outside.

After a while, he curled the corners of his lips slightly. A glint flashed across his eyes before he closed the door and left.

After Niamh heard the sound of the door closing, she took out her phone.

She skimmed through the trending topics on Twitter before clicking into Nevaeh’s account.

Her page was indeed filled with curses and swears.

They were calling Nevaeh a two-faced b*tch and a pretentious double-sided witch. There were even netizens who berated her for uploading a fake video to create such a fuss.

Niamh was satisfied with the outcome as she looked through the comments with a smile.

‘Nevaeh, do you think I’m still the Niamh who’s so easy to take advantage of? You’re delusional if you think so!”

…

Kendrick went into the ward after he arrived at the hospital. He saw Nevaeh sitting on the bed, looking dispirited. Her right cheek was covered with a thick layer of gauze. Her face was pale and her lips were paler. When she saw him coming in, she wailed and buried herself in his chest. “Kendrick!”

Rose was sobbing in exaggeration on one side. “Kendrick, you’re finally here! Nevaeh would be devastated if you didn’t show up. The doctor said the injury might leave a scar. What should she do? What should we do? Nevaeh is going to be disfigured! Kendrick, what should—”

“Get out,” Kendrick said in annoyance.

Rose was taken aback. “Kendrick, you have to accompany Nevaeh. Nevaeh’s the young madam of the number one richest family in Glendale, after all. If her face is ruined, how will she go out—”

“If you don’t get out now, I’ll leave,” Kendrick said coldly again. Rose trembled uncontrollably. After she saw Nevaeh eyeing her, she shut her mouth and went out after closing the door behind her.

After Rose left, Nevaeh started to play the victim again. She held Kendrick tighter in her arms, but in the next second, Kendrick pushed her away.

Nevaeh began to cry frantically. “Kendrick, please don’t leave me. I know I was being headstrong just now, b-but it was Vera who provoked me! She came here to provoke me, saying she’d steal you away from me. That’s why I got so mad. I didn’t really want to slash her face. I was just scaring her. Please, Kendrick, you have to believe me!” Nevaeh explained frantically, but she noticed Kendrick looking at her coldly. There was suspicion and disappointment in his eyes that she had never seen before.

Nevaeh’s heartbeat accelerated. She grabbed the corner of Kendrick’s shirt, saying, “Kendrick, you believe me, right?”

“I heard everything,” Kendrick said suddenly.

The expression on Nevaeh’s face froze. “H-Heard what?”

“Before I came into the room, I heard what you said to Vera.”

“…”

“You’re the one who destroyed Niamh’s face!”
