Eloise and Sean, who had not left the hospital, almost fell when their legs went weak after learning that Niamh and Kendrick had been involved in a car accident.
They hurried to the emergency room and saw Kendrick who was waiting outside. He was sitting motionless on the chair, his hands still dripping with blood.
His whole person seemed to be frozen, and his body exuded a cold, bitter air. Approaching him was as if being stabbed by the sharp ice skates on his body.
Eloise still remembered what happened three years ago when Niamh was sent to the operating table. Kendrick had also been like this, frightened out of his mind.
Eloise seemed to understand at this moment why Kendrick had been uncharacteristically angry at her and Nevaeh back then. It was because he was afraid of something happening to Niamh.
Now, Eloise also had a foreboding. She really did not want the scene three years ago to recreate itself again.
Seeing the red light coming on outside the emergency room, Eloise and Sean’s hearts were tight.
‘Niamh, please be alright. Don’t punish your parents and your children with this…’
Karen and Yvonne learned that Niamh was in a car accident and was now being operated on in the emergency room. They immediately rushed over with joy.
Seeing that Eloise and Sean were also there, Karen chose to ignore them and walked straight toward Kendrick.
Seeing Kendrick’s bleeding hands, Karen looked nervous. “Kendrick, your hand is injured. We need to stop the bleeding!” This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org – ©.
She pulled Kendrick as she said this, but before she could even touch the corner of Kendrick’s clothes, she heard him saying coldly, “Stay away from me.”
Karen was embarrassed for a moment, finding it hard to hold onto her pride a little.
Seeing this, Yvonne immediately took out a tissue and leaned over to Kendrick with concern. “Kendrick, don’t do this. Aunty cares about you. Look at you, you’ve lost a lot of blood. It’s really distressing.”
She said in a worried tone as she reached out to wipe Kendrick’s wounds.
Yet, she unexpectedly heard Kendrick’s frosty reply. “Go away. Don’t touch me.”
Yvonne pursed her lips, feeling aggrieved. “Kendrick, I also care about you—”
“I don’t need your care. Don’t get close to me. Get out.”
“…”
“Kendrick, how can you talk to Yvonne like this? She’s your cousin!”
“My cousin?” Kendrick’s tall, handsome figure stood up slowly. His deep eyes were drooping, and the shadows that shrouded him were terrifying. “My wife is the one who’s lying in the emergency room with the doctors fighting for her life. She’s in between life and death. Did I ask for a cousin to care about me?”
“…”
“Go away! Get away! I don’t want to see this so-called cousin!”
He was unexpectedly so disgusted, causing Yvonne to be frozen in place with embarrassment and dissatisfaction.
“What kind of wife is she? She has had sex with other men since a long time ago and even poisoned and murdered your grandfather. It’s not a shame for such a woman to die!” Karen said vexedly.
“Karen, what are you even saying? How is it not a pity for anyone who would lose their life? How can you slander my daughter like this?!” Eloise and Sean rushed in angrily.
“What Aunty said is the truth!” Yvonne chipped in.
Bang!
Kendrick slammed a fist against the wall as a chilling light shot out from his cold eyes. “If you slander Nia again, don’t blame me for not being considerate of our relationship!”
Karen’s mouth twitched with fright as she quickly shut her mouth. Even Yvonne did not even dare to breathe.
Eloise was so angry that she was about to retort when the lights in the operating room suddenly went out.
Kendrick raised his eyes all of a sudden and saw the door of the operating room opening. He ran toward the doctor in a white coat in large strides with an anxious expression. “Doctor, how’s my wife? How is she?!”
The doctor looked at Kendrick who was looking anxious and comforted him kindly. “Sir, you don’t need to worry so much. There’s no life-threatening danger to your wife and there are no scratches or bruises on her body either, but the injuries on your hands look more serious than hers.”
Kendrick did not even look at his bleeding palm. “Mine is only a surface injury. I want to know my wife’s condition. If she’s fine, why did she pass out so uncomfortably? How is she now? I want to go in and see her!”
As he was speaking, he was already about to rush into the emergency room.
Three years ago, Niamh had entered the emergency room in a similar way and never came back out.
The happenings from that day left indelible wounds and trauma in his heart.
He was afraid that the scene from that day would happen again and Niamh would never come out after entering the room.
He could not bear the pain again.
When the doctors and nurses saw this, they quickly grabbed Kendrick. “Sir, your wife really isn’t facing any threat to her life. She’s only experiencing a concussion and a small blood clot in her brain. The clot will disappear on its own depending on the situation. What she needs most now is a good rest.”
“You aren’t lying to me?” Kendrick asked dubiously.
The doctor smiled. “Why would I joke about a patient’s condition? Sir, you’re too anxious about your wife.”
Hearing the doctor’s final conclusion, Kendrick, Eloise, and Sean all breathed out a sigh of relief.
Karen and Yvonne glared toward the emergency room while feeling dissatisfied, then they turned away in anger.
…
After a while, Niamh was then sent to the VIP ward.
From day till night, she slept the entire time and had yet to awaken.
Kendrick took care of her by her side all day long.
After Felipe saw the license plate of the car that was involved in the accident near the hospital on TV, he understood why Niamh could not be contacted all this while. Content rights by NôvelDrama.Org.
He rushed to the hospital immediately, and after knowing the location of Niamh’s ward, Felipe hurried over with big steps.
Just as he arrived at the door, he saw through the small window on the door that Kendrick was wiping Niamh’s face with a towel as she lay unconscious.
His movements were careful, gentle and light as if he was afraid that his actions would hurt Niamh.
Today was supposed to be the day when Kendrick and Niamh got their divorce certificate, but the sudden car accident had stopped the matter.
An unpleasant, cold light burst out of Felipe’s calm black eyes.
He held the bouquet of flowers and opened the door of the ward with a cold expression.
Just as Kendrick held Niamh’s hand, wanting to tell her his thoughts, he caught a glimpse of Felipe’s sudden appearance. The tenderness in his eyes instantly faded away.
“What are you here for?” Kendrick walked up to Felipe, feeling displeased and stopping him from approaching.
Felipe put the bouquet on the coffee table and raised the corners of his lips. “I’m here to visit my fiancée. Do I actually need your approval for that?”
“Heh.” Kendrick chuckled with a low voice. “There’s no fiancée of yours here. Leave this place immediately.”
“Kendrick, if Vera is awake now, who do you think she’ll ask to leave the place? You know the answer clearly in your heart.” Felipe stepped over slowly and walked to the bedside.
Seeing Niamh’s sleeping and languish face, he frowned.
Dissatisfied with Felipe staring at Niamh so affectionately, Kendrick stepped forward and blocked Felipe’s gaze. “Come out, I have something to talk to you about.”
Felipe smiled casually when he heard Kendrick’s words. He then turned to follow him out.
At the end of the corridor, Kendrick said to him bluntly, “Felipe, you may be able to deceive Nia, but you can’t deceive me. You’re using Nia to achieve your purpose.”
Felipe listened quietly without arguing. He smiled instead, saying, “That’s right, I’m using Vera. If it weren’t for Vera, it would’ve been really difficult for me to get Waldburg Corporation and Waldburg Manor so quickly.”
