Chapter 137 – Until You Say Sorry Novel

“Do you think I’m as stupid as them? Do you think I can’t tell that you’re just acting? I know you won’t let anything happen to yourself. You’re just waiting for Kendrick so that you can make demands.”

“…”

Nevaeh did not expect Niamh to know what she was plotting. Her face turned green, then white. After a moment, the corners of her lips twitched.

When Eloise and Sean saw this, they pushed Niamh violently and angrily. “Vera Quinn, how dare you continue provoking Nevaeh? You’re inhumane!”

Sean was livid, and he lifted his hand to slap Niamh.

However, at this moment, Niamh saw Nevaeh eyeing Rose. Then, she started sobbing while shouting, “Dad, Mom, just think of me as an unfilial daughter. I’ll see you in my next life!”

“Nevaeh!” In the next second, Rose’s screams broke the silence.

Sean’s slap did not land. He and Eloise turned around at the same time to look in Nevaeh’s direction. However, they only saw a white cloth floating away.

Nevaeh had really jumped!

“Nevaeh!” Eloise and Sean let out blood-curdling screams while running over.

When she saw this, Niamh was just worried if Eloise and Sean would fall as well.

After seeing Nevaeh eyeing Rose earlier, Niamh was sure that this was only a ruse. That woman would not let herself die so easily.

She was very sure.

However, when she was about to take a look for herself, she heard footsteps behind her.

She turned around and saw Kendrick’s deep eyes.

Suddenly, Rose rushed in front of Kendrick and sobbed, saying, “Kendrick, you’re too late! Nevaeh jumped! It’s all because of this woman! It’s all because of Vera Quinn! She’s the one who forced her to jump! My Nevaeh! My Nevaeh!”

Niamh saw Kendrick’s eyes darken as his expression changed. “What did you say? Nevaeh jumped?”

“It’s all because of this woman!” Rose pointed at Niamh.

Kendrick looked intensely at Niamh who had a calm expression on her face. Then, he averted his gaze and quickly walked over to where Eloise and Sean were standing.

“Nevaeh! Nevaeh! My baby!” Eloise was crying out hysterically. Suddenly, her legs gave out and she collapsed into Sean’s arms. She had passed out.

When Niamh saw this, her heart ached.

Eloise was her biological mother, after all. Despite Eloise not liking her, she still hoped that Eloise and Sean would be fine.

However, they were being fooled by Nevaeh.

Niamh felt that this was hilarious. After gathering her thoughts, she saw Kendrick standing at the spot where Nevaeh had jumped just now.

He looked below with a grim expression on his face. Two seconds later, he turned around and walked back.

“She only fell on the balcony. I think she’ll be fine,” Kendrick answered calmly. However, Niamh could see him visibly letting out a sigh of relief.

He was still so concerned about Nevaeh, after all. He was worried that she would be dead.

However, Niamh had already expected this to happen.

Nevaeh was well-prepared. She must have surveyed the layout and knew there would be a balcony down there. That was why she was able to jump with no worries.

Despite that, Nevaeh was still sent to the emergency room.

Eloise had already regained consciousness now. When she found out that Nevaeh had not fallen from more than 20 floors down, she burst into tears from happiness.

When she saw Kendrick, Eloise charged over to him and complained angrily.

“Kendrick, how long will you continue tormenting my daughter? She gave so much of her youth to you and at the end of the day, you’re still trying to hurt her for the sake of such a despicable woman. Do you think Niamh isn’t enough so that’s why you found Vera? If Nevaeh dies because of this, do you think you’ll be able to sleep at night?”

Kendrick listened to Eloise’s rants calmly without an expression on his face.

Sleep at night? When had he ever gotten a good night’s sleep after Niamh died?

A few seconds later, Kendrick said profoundly, “In order to stop ‘tormenting’ her, I’ve called off the marriage.”

“What? Are you really calling off your marriage to Nevaeh? Aren’t you pushing her to her death once again?”

After she yelled at him, the door of the emergency room opened. Eloise and Sean ran over quickly to ask about Nevaeh’s condition.

The doctor sighed with regret. “There are multiple bone fractures in the patient’s body. Her legs are seriously injured. She might even be disabled.”

“Disabled?” Eloise’s face went white. “What do you mean? She won’t be able to walk normally anymore?”

“Don’t trigger the patient for the time being. There’s a high chance of complete recovery if you take good care of her,” said the doctor helplessly.

After Eloise heard that, she clenched her fists. “That Vera Quinn! I’m going to kill her!”

“Mrs. Montgomery, calm down. Nevaeh is more important now!” Rose stopped her. Then, she looked at Kendrick who had an icy expression on his face. “Kendrick, you’re our biggest hope for Nevaeh’s recovery. She’ll definitely recover if you stay with her and take care of her. Kendrick, you still remember how you promised Nevaeh that you’d take care of her when you were kids, right? You promised to take care of her forever.”

Kendrick’s face turned solemn when Rose mentioned his promise from when they were younger.

Back then, he had longed to fulfill that promise, but the moment Niamh left his life and when he realized he had fallen in love with her, that innocent promise turned into a lock that he could not get rid of. It was weighing down on him.

The next day when Niamh was about to go out, she was approached by a few police officers. They were saying that she had plotted to kill Nevaeh, so they needed her to go back with them to the station for investigation. They were being firm with her.

When she recalled the cage that had tormented her so much, she refused to go back.

Even though it had been so many years, Niamh could not forget how she was continuously vilified. She was trapped in that hellish place where she was tortured again and again. She was repeatedly humiliated, and in the end, her child was even taken away from her brutally.
