Chapter 268 – Until You Say Sorry Novel

After he listened to his unremorseful answer, Kendrick bent his fingers with his knuckles starting to creak. “Felipe, you’re really despicable.”

“Despicable?” Felipe chuckled as arrogance flowed out from his eyes. “Aren’t you despicable as well? You injured Vera till she almost lost her life back then, but now you want her back after seeing her completely transformed. Kendrick, it looks like you’re way more despicable than I am.”

In this matter, Kendrick knew that he had wronged Niamh.

However, he did not want Niamh back just because she had transformed as what Felipe mentioned.

He loved her. It was the secret in his heart that was not known or believed by others in all these years.

“When Vera wakes up and her injury is healed, she’ll immediately apply for a divorce certificate with you. At that time, I will send her and Jackson to F Country first.” Felipe revealed his plan to Kendrick, not caring if Kendrick would interrupt his plan.

Seeing the frustration and loneliness flashing across Kendrick’s eyes, Felipe’s smile grew deeper.

“My good nephew, it seems that whether it’s your wife or your son, you’ll never be able to get them back again in this life. Vera will soon be my woman and Jackson will also be calling me his father soon enough.”

No man could accept such a loss and change, let alone Kendrick who wholeheartedly cared and loved Niamh. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org – ©.

A coldness rose in his eyes as his gaze was now filled with intense aggression and determination. “Nia will only be my woman in this life. Felipe, don’t you even think about taking her away from me!”

“Really? Then, we shall wait and see.” Felipe smiled playfully before turning around to leave.

Kendrick wanted to stop him at first, but with Eloise suddenly running out from Niamh’s ward in a panic, he subconsciously felt that something was wrong. He immediately ran back into the ward.

Seeing Niamh lying on the bed with fluttering eyelids, he rushed to the bed in excitement and shook Niamh’s cool hand with pity.

“Nia, Nia, are you awake?”

Felipe followed him into the ward and felt dissatisfied when he saw the scene before him.

Then, Eloise called the doctor into the ward who suddenly realized that there were two more men in the ward. She looked at the doctor, asking, “Doctor, my daughter seems to be awake. Can you see if she’s alright?”

“Kendrick, get up first and let the doctor examine Eveline’s condition.” Eloise reminded Kendrick who was still holding onto Niamh.

Seeing the doctor approaching them, Kendrick let go of Niamh’s hand. At the same time he let go, Niamh slowly opened her eyes.

“Eveline, you’re really up! That’s great!” Eloise’s eyes were wet with joy.

Kendrick also felt the weight in his heart falling off.

Niamh blinked her large, hazy eyes warily before looking around.

The doctor quickly stepped forward to check on Niamh, but she avoided him vigilantly all of a sudden with a suspicious expression on her face. “What are you doing?”

Kendrick hurriedly went over and calmed her down with a soft voice, saying, “Nia, you’ve just woken up after being injured. Let the doctor examine you. Don’t be afraid.”

Niamh stared at Kendrick’s face thoughtfully for a bit before suddenly fixing her gaze on Felipe who was standing by the door. “Felipe, who are these people? Why are they saying that I’m injured?”

The question Niamh asked startled everyone in the ward.

“Eveline, I’m your mother.” Eloise pointed to herself while looking panicked. Tears were already rolling in her eyes.

It was difficult for Kendrick to believe this. It was even more unbelievable when he saw the confused and guarded expression on the delicate little face in front of him.

How could it be? This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org – ©.

How could such a thing happen?

The woman who had loved him so much, who both hated and loved him to his bones, actually forgot about him?

After going through the shock, Felipe took the shortest time to sort out his doubts. He then curled his lips and walked to Niamh with a warm smile. “Vera, don’t worry. No matter what happens, I’ll be by your side. Let’s have the doctor take a look at your condition first.”

After listening to Felipe’s words carefully, Niamh cooperated and let the doctor examine her.

Kendrick really did not want to believe what he was seeing before him.

Niamh did not know him nor Eloise, but she could still remember Felipe clearly and even obeyed him so docilely.

Feeling as if tens of thousands of cold arrows had passed through his heart, Kendrick was frozen in his spot until the doctor was done examining Niamh.

In the doctor’s office, Kendrick frowned and listened to the doctor as he explained Niamh’s condition.

“The blood clot in her brain is almost gone based on the CT result, but she’s suffering a sudden partial memory loss most likely due to psychological reasons.

“Maybe she wanted to forget some people or things that have made her particularly unhappy and that’s why this kind of dissociative amnesia happened.

“She doesn’t want to look back on the bad memories, so now she only remembers the things that made her happy.

“Try not to trigger her. We will have to observe the patient’s condition for a while more.”

After listening to the explanation, Kendrick and Eloise felt a strong, painful feeling of breaking down the moment they understood.

They understood in their hearts that the injuries and torture they had inflicted on Niamh were all too cruel and unbearable to be recalled.

It was normal for Niamh to want to forget.

No one would want to remember things that hurt them if it was possible. Of course, one would hope that all their memories were filled with happiness and joy.

However, in the years when Niamh had been the most eager to be trusted and warmed up to, all they gave were only hurt and indifference.

Kendrick was feeling an extreme heartache, and no one could understand the extent of it.

He returned to the ward and saw that Niamh had already gotten out of bed. She was talking to Felipe.

The sunlight poured gently onto her flawless and clean face. When she smiled, her curved eyes seemed to be flashing with stars.

Yet, she had never shown such a smile in front of him.

This was because he had never given her the opportunity to smile like this.

“Felipe, when can I be discharged? I don’t want to stay here. This place makes me uncomfortable.” Niamh looked at her surroundings and suddenly caught sight of Kendrick who was standing at the door of the ward.

The moment their gazes met, Kendrick was hoping to see something in Niamh’s eyes, even if it was hatred. Yet, Niamh’s eyes were only indifferent as she looked at him like a stranger.

“Why does that person keep looking at me?” Niamh looked away and asked Felipe suspiciously.

Felipe curled his lips into a thought-provoking smile as he introduced, saying, “He’s my nephew, Kendrick.”

“Kendrick,” Niamh repeated with a blank expression. She turned her head to look at Kendrick again before walking toward him.

Kendrick’s heartbeat accelerated instantly when he saw her getting closer. Anticipation was ignited in his eyes again.

While Niamh had walked up to him, she only showed a polite smile. “Hello, Mr. Waldburg. I’m Felipe’s fiancée, Vera.”

Her introduction shattered Kendrick’s heart, but it made Felipe quietly reveal a triumphant smile.

Kendrick forced himself to calm down, but in the end, he could not restrain himself and held Niamh’s hand suddenly. “Nia, I’m not Mr. Waldburg. I’m your husband!”

Niamh pulled her hand back forcefully all of a sudden when she heard the words. She glared at him, displeased. “Mr. Waldburg, please have some respect. I’m your future aunt.”

Hiss.

Those familiar words passed through Kendrick’s eardrums again, causing his battered heart to be sprinkled with salt on top.

Blood filled his heart as the pain of it being ripped and torn made his breathing strained.

“Kendrick, don’t make such a joke. Vera will get angry.” Felipe walked over and gave a serious reminder.

His eyes subtly met Kendrick’s hostile ones and his smile became deeper.
