Chapter 56 – Until You Say Sorry Novel

Kendrick’s furious voice came from above her head, and Niamh was suddenly awakened as if she had just recovered her heartbeat and thoughts.

Because she had been afraid of seeing Kendrick, she had practically agitated herself into thinking that death ends all one’s troubles…

Niamh was brought back to her current residence by Kendrick. The winter night was cold and windy. Kendrick took off his coat that had been wetted by the cold and rain, and said, “Go get the bath water ready.”

Niamh looked at Kendrick who said this in surprise.

“Didn’t you hear what I said?” Kendrick repeated impatiently, “If you hadn’t gone crazy looking for death, would I be like this?”

He blamed Niamh.

Niamh glanced at Kendrick calmly and walked into the bathroom without a word.

Looking at Niamh’s back, Kendrick thought that she was behaving like another person.

What he was especially occupied with were the two eye-catching knife marks on Niamh’s face.

He looked around. It was really cramped, no bigger than the bathroom in his home.

She had actually hidden in such a place in order to avoid him.

Kendrick sneered, his eyes were suddenly drawn by a notebook on the bed.

He picked it up, flipped open a page, and found it to be Niamh’s diary.

At a glance, Kendrick saw Nevaeh’s name on the page and Niamh clearly stated that she had wanted to take her revenge on Nevaeh and wanted to see Nevaeh receive retribution.

Niamh came out after putting on the water when saw Kendrick standing by the bed, holding her diary.

Her nerves were pulled and she ran over quickly.

Just as she was about to snatch the diary back, Kendrick restrained both her hands.

He threw her a colder look than from before. “Niamh, you truly are too vicious! You should have been hit by a car just now. Keeping you alive will only cause more damage to Nevaeh!”

Without giving Niamh any opportunity to explain, Kendrick smacked the diary onto Niamh’s face.

The corners of the diary scraped against the unhealed wound on her face and there was a burst of sharp pain before blood began oozing again.

Kendrick did not notice, however. He brushed past her shoulder and his broad and powerful shoulders hit Niamh’s thin body and in an instant, she fell down beside the bed. In front of her, was the open diary that Kendrick had dropped. Niamh looked down and she saw the words she had written. “Ken, finally I get to see you again…”

Niamh looked at the words written on the diary page and laughed at herself. Laughing and laughing until tears began to run out of her eyes unconsciously.

The warm water dripped past the bleeding wound, along the curve of the chin, and finally, mixed with a drop of blood, dripped onto the sentence in the diary.

Ken…

Her former Ken had died in her heart.

That gentle sunshine, the boy who had said he had wanted to be with her forever, had completely died in her heart…

Some pus developed in the wound on Niamh’s face and so, she had to go to the hospital.

Right after treating the wound and as she was about to leave, two young nurses hurried past Niamh.

“Mrs. Montgomery will be operated on soon, but the hospital’s Rh blood has been completely used up. If something happens during the surgery, who’s gonna take care of it?”

“An appendicitis surgery does not usually cause heavy bleeding unless there is an accident but I don’t think Mrs. Montgomery would be so unlucky! And I think her face has gone blue from the pain, she has to be operated on immediately!”

Niamh’s pace fluttered suddenly and she hurriedly caught up with the two nurses. “May I ask if the Mrs. Montgomery you mentioned is called Eloise Patton?”

“That’s right! Who are you?” The nurse looked over Niamh a few times. “If you need anything, please head to the front desk. We are busy here!”

The nurse hurried away after saying that.

Niamh turned around without thinking and ran to the blood transfusion point where she heard Nevaeh’s sharp scolding from a distance.

“What kind of hospital is this? Why are you always running out of blood! Last time it was my son, this time it’s my mother! Are you deliberately targeting me!”

She questioned the nurse. The nurse lowered her head. Her eyes were red and she dared not say a word as she was scolded.

Accompanying was Nevaeh’s mother, Rose. No, it should be said that she was her adoptive mother because Nevaeh had been confirmed to be Eloise’s biological daughter three years ago.

Nevaeh’s expression was dark. She looked like a shrew with her teeth and claws.

“You better pray that the operation will go smoothly. If my mother meets any accidents during the operation, I will definitely have my fiancé sue your hospital till bankruptcy!”

“M-Ms. Montgomery, you are Mrs. Montgomery’s biological daughter, in fact, as long as you have a blood transfusion…”

“What transfusion! Nevaeh’s period is not over yet, how can she transfuse her blood!” Rose became angered like a devil.

Hearing this, Niamh suddenly thought of the time when Jackson had needed a blood transfusion. Nevaeh had also said that she could not do a blood transfusion as it was her period.

It has been more than half a month, but her period is not over yet?

Niamh suddenly understood something. Nevaeh was not having her period. She just did not want to do a blood transfusion at all.

One was her own son and the other was her real mother yet she was so cold-blooded that she did not want to save either.

After Niamh had watched Nevaeh and Rose leave while still cursing, she trotted over without hesitation. “Nurse, Mrs. Montgomery should be able to use my blood. Please check it for me immediately, thank you.”

The nurse who crying after being scolded heard Niamh’s words and instantly, it raised her spirits.

Before long, Niamh had contributed another 500c.c of blood.

She did not leave immediately but she was waiting for news of the operation.

Appendicitis required a minor operation and there were usually no complications, but Niamh still felt uneasy.

She did not understand why she was so worried about Eloise Patton as if she had a kind of intimacy, a longing to approach Elois in her heart.

Just as she recalled to ask about the operation, Niamh suddenly saw Nevaeh and Rose hurriedly running in the direction where she was.

Just when Niamh thought that the foster mother and daughter were going to trouble her, a gust of wind seemed to pass by Niamh. A man had walked past her.

“Dad, you are finally here!” Nevaeh shouted at the man.

It turned out to be the husband of Eloise, Sean Montgomery.

Looking at this tall and steady back, Niamh felt a sense of sorrow and grief in her heart.

She had also longed for a father, but unfortunately, she had never felt the love of father or mother in her life.

“How’s your mother’s situation?” Sean was very nervous about this situation.

Nevaeh cried, “I don’t know what’s wrong. There seems to have been an accident during the operation. Mother is bleeding heavily and she is now in operation…”

“What?” Sean’s expression changed all of a sudden and he ran to the operating room.

Niamh’s heartbeat also stopped for a second. How could an accident really have happened?

She squeezed her fingers anxiously but then heard Nevaeh’s cold voice saying, “Where did so many people with RH blood suddenly appear from? Once before, and once again now.”

Nevaeh’s tone did not carry any sense of gratitude, but rather it sounded very dissatisfied.

Then again, she could do something like personally cutting up her own son’s cheeks, as if she had a conscience.

What Niamh was most worried about at the moment was Eloise’s situation. While she was waiting, she started to feel discomfort in her body again. The area where the tumor was hurt so much that it affected her nerves, making her uncomfortable.

She had subconsciously wanted to take the painkillers from her bag, but she suddenly stopped and thought of the bottle of painkillers that Kendrick had thrown away. She smiled bitterly.

At this moment, the nurse who had been scolded by Nevaeh previously ran to her happily. “Young lady, thank you for the blood you’d donated. Otherwise, Mrs. Montgomery might not have been so lucky now.”

Niamh raised her head shakily and she stood up reluctantly, “How is Mrs. Montgomery’s situation now? Is the operation over?”

“Appendicitis is originally just a minor operation. If it weren’t for the minor complication, the operation would have ended long ago. Don’t worry, Mrs. Montgomery is fine.”

Hearing the nurse’s answer, the large rock in Niamh’s heart fell away in an instant.

That was great. Everything was fine.

“Niamh, so it was you!” Nevaeh’s extremely unhappy voice came from behind.

When Niamh turned her head, she saw Nevaeh’s arrogant face.

“Who asked to be so troublesome!” Nevaeh cursed. “You don’t know how dirty you are yet you dare give my mother a blood transfusion!”

Niamh could not help laughing. “If I’m so dirty, then you aren’t too clean either. Don’t forget that I gave you a lot of blood too for this measly life of yours.”

“You…”

Nevaeh’s eyes sunk with anger and she raised her hand to hit her injured right cheek but Niamh caught it before it fell.

“Nevaeh, touch where your heart is, is your conscience still there? One was your own son, the other was your own mother, how could you ignore their safety just to protect yourself? You are no longer human!”
