Chapter 39 – Until You Say Sorry Novel

Before she had the energy to stand up, Tanner and she were brought into the cop car.

During the 48 hours in detention, Niamh could not escape from being beaten up again.

However, she was numb to all this. She was so numb that she did not feel any pain when she started vomiting blood.

Only tears escaped her eyes uncontrollably. The tears seared her heart, blurring her vision and drowning her heart.

Niamh crawled on the ground and got to the iron bars. She received all kinds of kicks and punches on her back.

When she looked at the sunlight outside, she smiled lamentably.

While she was living in a world that she had created herself for so many years, that man had already completely forgotten about her.

It had been so many years and it turned out to be just her one-sided obsession.

Daniel spent a lot of time and effort to finally gather enough manpower and evidence to bail Niamh out.

He brought Niamh to Adam for a check-up. When Adam got the result, his face fell.

The medication was controlling the growth of the tumor, but it had suddenly worsened.

He did not know what Niamh experienced during this period that caused the index to plummet. He prescribed some painkillers for Niamh, then started discussing with other experts in regards to Niamh’s immediate surgery.

…

When Kendrick went to the station to look for Niamh, he was told Niamh was already bailed out by someone.

He was livid. He found Niamh’s home and grabbed the woman who was just about to rest after coming back from the hospital.

“You’ve done so many immoral things and you’re still able to sleep so soundly?”

Niamh’s head was throbbing in pain. When she looked at his angry face, she smiled.

“Then what do you want, Mr. Waldburg? Do you want to hire more people to beat me up or are you going to make it quick and just kill me this time?”

It was evident that Kendrick was not happy with Niamh’s attitude. He pulled her up. “You must be dreaming if you think you can die so easily.”

His words awakened Niamh’s muddled thoughts.

She saw an eeriness and coldness that she had never seen before in Kendrick’s eyes.

That terrifying cold air invaded Niamh’s entire body once again.

She struggled in terror. “Kendrick, what else are you trying to do? Will you only be happy when I die?”

“You’ll only benefit from being dead. Niamh, I want you to live a life that’s worse than death.”

Niamh did not know what cruel tricks Kendrick still had up his sleeves to deal with her. She wanted to escape from his hold, but he was too strong. He dragged her out of the house easily.

He did not use too much force to drag Niamh to the car before pushing her in. Then, he ordered the driver to start driving.

Niamh had spent so much time calming herself down, but now she was on the verge of a breakdown again.

“Kendrick, I never hurt anyone. Nevaeh is the one who keeps on framing me. Why don’t you go and investigate her? You’re such a smart man, so why are you being fooled by Nevaeh?”

Perhaps Niamh’s tears had touched Kendrick as he seemed to have hesitated slightly.

The air in the car plunged into sudden silence. Niamh laughed bitterly in exhaustion.

“Kendrick, even if you don’t believe me, what about Grandpa? He’s a wise man with a lot of experience in life. If I’m such a battered person, then why did he agree to let me marry you? Why would he take care of me and give Nevaeh the cold shoulder?”

She thought Kendrick would ponder about this, but the moment she stopped talking, he laughed.

“You know clearly why you got to marry me and why Nevaeh gets the cold shoulder from Grandpa.”

He was obviously saying that Niamh was secretly inciting disharmony between Old Master Waldburg and Nevaeh.

However, he never thought about how a woman like Nevaeh who willingly became a mistress was already problematic.

“Niamh, stop acting. I’m going to take you to see Grandpa now. I’ll let him see your true self.”

Niamh smiled bitterly. She did not want to explain herself anymore.

Her existence had become a lie that was wicked beyond redemption.

Niamh was brought back to Waldburg Manor by Kendrick, and she was forced to go into the living room with him.

Old Master Waldburg was sitting upright and still in front of them. His face looked solemn.

Nevaeh sat at one side tearfully while Kendrick’s mother was comforting her considerately.

When Kendrick’s mother saw Niamh, she stood up and pointed at her.

“Niamh, how can a b*tch like you be so cruel? You could even sink your claws into such a young child. What did Nevaeh do to you? Why did you do that to her?”

Kendrick’s mother pointed at Niamh and started yelling.

“Three years ago, you stole Nevaeh’s boyfriend with such heinous tactics and now you’re doing this to her child. You’re such a terrifyingly cruel woman!”

As she said that, she lifted her hand and waved it down on Nevaeh’s face.

“Stop.”

Niamh thought she was unable to avoid the slap. However, at this moment, she heard the old master’s voice.

She saw the smirk on Niamh’s face vanishing. It was as if she did not expect the old master to side with Niamh at this moment.

Niamh did not expect this as well.

“Dad, you’re still helping this woman? Even an outsider won’t be able to stand what she has done!” Kendrick’s mother felt agitated. “If it wasn’t for this b*tch, Nevaeh would have been your granddaughter-in- law. She even gave us a grandchild and yet, she has to suffer all kinds of grievances. You have to stand up for her!”

After she said that, Nevaeh raised the volume of her sobbing. Then, she wiped away her tears softly.

“Old Master Waldburg, I don’t have the wishful thinking of being your granddaughter-in-law. I gave birth to that child willingly for Kendrick. I don’t want to split hairs with Niamh. I just hope that you can tell

Niamh to stop hurting your great-grandson.”

What an awe-inspiring speech. Kendrick’s mother was on the brink of tears from feeling so sorry for Nevaeh.

Niamh wanted to laugh. She looked at Kendrick and saw that he was looking at her.

When her eyes met his, Niamh averted her gaze quickly. Then, she heard the old master grunting.

“Great-grandson?” The old master’s words sounded sarcastic. “I’ll only recognize the great-grandson who Niamh gives birth to. She’s the daughter-in-law who has legally wedded into this family.”

When he said that, the air in the room froze.

No one expected the old master to say something like this.

Nevaeh stopped putting on her pitiful performance and looked at Old Master Waldburg with an awkward expression on her face.

The old master’s face was solemn and his manner was imposing. “You’re a woman who meddled into another marriage and you even gave birth to a shameful illegitimate child with so much courage of your convictions. Not only are you not shameful about what you’ve done, but on the contrary, you’re proud of yourself. The Waldburgs don’t have a granddaughter-in-law who doesn’t respect and love herself.”

“…” The corner of Nevaeh’s lips twitched as her fake gentle mask was about to crack.

Perhaps she had never expected herself to be such a character in the old master’s heart.
