Chapter 60 – Until You Say Sorry Novel

She looked at the cold man while smiling in a self-deprecating manner. “Then if one day I die before atoning all my sins, will Mr. Waldburg crush my bones and scatter my ashes just like he did to his biological daughter in the past? Just to bring a smile to Nevaeh’s face?” she asked.

Once she finished talking, Niamh saw Kendrick press his lips together tightly, seeming to be deep in thought.

Niamh smiled bitterly. “I’m such a fool. The answer to this question is definitely yes. Mr. Waldburg, as long as your sweetheart is happy, there’s nothing that cannot be done in this world, right?” she asked.

As the contemptuous words spilled out of her mouth, she felt desolate on the inside.

His silence came to her like a sharp knife being stuck into her heart.

See, sure enough, he didn’t care for her. He only saved her pathetic life in order to torture her more.

Niamh went to the hospital again. She didn’t go there for the wound on her face but went there to visit Eloise instead.

Since it was nearing the new year, the atmosphere of the new year could even be detected in the hospital.

Niamh wore her mask and saw a flower vendor at the entrance of the hospital. After thinking for a bit, she finally chose a bunch of pink carnations.

She grabbed a pen and a piece of paper from her bag. After writing the words “Madam Eloise Patton, I wish you a speedy recovery” on the paper, she placed it in the middle of the bouquet.

Niamh enquired about Eloise’s ward from the reception desk. She was located in the VIP ward section.

However, Niamh hesitated when she arrived in front of the room’s door.

Nobody will welcome her here. She would just be seeking humiliation if she went in.

However, inexplicably, she couldn’t let go of Eloise from her heart.

At this moment, laughter rang out from the room.

“Eloise, just look at how much you’re adored by our darling daughter. Thanks to the blood she donated, you managed to evade danger and attain safety,” Sean said in a rather proud tone.

Niamh was stunned upon hearing what he said. Daughter?

Just as she was lost in confusion, Rose’s voice rang out.

“Nevaeh has always been kind-hearted since young. Usually, she often goes to the blood donation center to donate blood as well. Now that something has happened to her biological mother, she’d definitely do so without hesitation!” she said.

Listening up to this point, Niamh understood right away.

Of course, Nevaeh told Eloise and Sean that she was the one who donated her blood to Eloise.

“My darling daughter is such a good girl,” Eloise said gently.

Niamh trembled harshly while clutching at the bouquet of flowers. Her heartbeat suddenly felt unbearable and she even felt the urge to cry.

“Mother, as long as you’re okay, I’d be willing to even give up on my life,” Nevaeh replied demurely. “Mother, shall I accompany you downstairs to take a walk?” she asked.

“Alright,” she said.

Upon hearing the sound of movement from within the room, Niamh immediately turned around.

Seeing Nevaeh pushing Eloise on her wheelchair from her peripheral vision, Niamh felt a hot sensation overcome her eyes.

After everyone left the ward, Niamh quickly rushed inside. After putting down the flowers, she turned around rapidly.

However, just as she was about to step out of the ward, Nevaeh suddenly returned unexpectedly while pushing Eloise on her wheelchair.

Nevaeh recognized Niamh instantly. “Niamh, is that you? Why are you wearing a mask and come to my mother’s room in such a suspicious manner?” she asked.

Displaying a shocked and worried expression, she hid Eloise behind her protectively. “Niamh, come for me if you have anything against me. Don’t hurt my family,” she voiced out.

Niamh only found Nevaeh’s overdramatic performance amusing. “I don’t want to hurt anyone. You don’t need to act so pitifully, I just wanted to take a look at Mrs. Montgomery’s condition,” she said.

“Niamh Delgado, quit acting like a good person here. It is none of your concern whether I live or I die! Also, I don’t need people like you to care for me!” Eloise exclaimed. She glared at Niamh hatefully.

A dull, painful sensation emanated from Niamh’s chest. However, from Eloise’s tone of voice, she could tell that she was recovering well.

She didn’t say anything more and proceeded to leave. However, when she turned around, Eloise rushed before her in a fit of rage and tore away Niamh’s mask without any reason. She then slapped her harshly on the right side of her face, which was wrapped in gauze.

“Niamh Delgado, you venomous bitch! What do you want to do to Nevaeh again! Although Nevaeh isn’t my biological daughter, I’ve always seen her as my own daughter. Come for me you want to carry out your devious schemes! If you bully Nevaeh once again, I’ll fight you!” she yelled.

Niamh’s head hurt severely upon being pulled and pushed around by Eloise. Her originally weak body crashed onto the wall after being pushed by Eloise and the gold pendant in her woolen sweater with her original name “Eveline” engraved on it fell out of her collar……

After the impact, Niamh leaned against the wall, her head spinning. She did not notice the gold pendant she always had hidden in her clothes slip out.

However, Nevaeh noticed immediately!

She definitely noticed the butterfly-shaped gold pendant that slipped out of Niamh’s collar!

She did not forget, three years ago, she when heard that Niamh could be Eloise’s daughter by birth, she tried all sorts of ways to obtain Eloise’s own personal toothbrush from Brittany, and at the same time, she stole Niamh’s clothes that had her DNA in order to perform a DNA test.

The results stated that Niamh really was the daughter that Eloise and Sean Montgomery had been looking for over twenty years!

It caused Nevaeh to feel incredibly envious but also gave birth to another evil thought. She devised a fake show with Rose and Jon which caused Eloise and Sean to suspect that she would be their daughter that was mistakenly taken away from the hospital all those years ago.

Eloise and Sean did mention the butterfly-shaped pendant at the time and were adamant that the pendant was custom made. It was a unique object and had the name “Eveline” engraved on it.

Nevaeh did not forget that Niamh had the name Eveline before she changed her name, she just never knew what her family name was.

This caused her to be even more certain of the fact that Niamh was the birth daughter of Eloise Patton.

As for the pendant, Rose and Jon recalled seeing that gold pendant many years ago, but they did not know where it went.

Eloise and Sean did not press the issue either. After they finished signing the adoption papers, they fully believed that Nevaeh was their precious long-lost daughter, and stopped caring about the gold pendant.

Nevaeh had always been careful about the jade pendant. When she initially met Niamh’s grandfather, Len Samuels, she noticed the crazy old man had a moment of clarity, calling Niamh Eveline, which caused her to be on alert.

She would do anything to ensure she could keep her seat as the precious daughter of the Montgomerys, which was proven when she had Niamh’s grandfather killed.

In the three years following that, she thoroughly enjoyed everything that was meant to be Niamh’s. However, the pendant that could ruin everything suddenly appeared on Niamh, which was something she absolutely would not allow to happen!

Nevaeh rushed to Niamh’s side, pretending to be concerned. “Niamh, are you alright?”

She had a look of concern on her face, but her hands were forcefully trying to pull off the pendant on Niamh’s neck.

However, the chains were very sturdy, and she could not break them.

“What are you doing? Nevaeh, let me go!” Niamh was in pain and tried to push Nevaeh away.

Rose did not notice it at first, but when she received a look from Nevaeh, she noticed the pendant on Niamh’s neck as well. She immediately realized what was happening, and hurried up, pretending to be concerned for Nevaeh.

“Oh Nevaeh, you stupid child, how could you still be worried about this cold-hearted woman after all this time. If it wasn’t for her, you would have already been married to Kendrick, and your children would never have been harmed by this woman!”

Niamh did not know why Rose and Nevaeh were pulling onto the chain on her throat so wildly, she could only feel it tightening.

“Nevaeh, don’t bother with this woman anymore! Come upstairs and relax with me, I can’t help but feel disgusted just looking at this woman!” Rose said, her face full of disdain as she glared at Niamh.

“Fine, mother, I’ll accompany you.” Nevaeh agreed as a sinister look flashed on her face. She used all her strength and yanked, finally breaking the chain that was on Niamh’s throat.

The pendant fell on the back of Niamh’s foot and bounced off before landing next to Eloise’s wheelchair.

Niamh coughed as her face turned red, her throat was extremely sore. She did not notice the sudden change in Nevaeh and Rose’s expressions, but she did hear Eloise’s surprised shout.

“This! This gold pendant!”

Eloise’s voice was shaking, and she was even stuttering.

Niamh looked over with suspicion and saw Eloise pressing onto where she had her surgery before standing up from the wheelchair to pick up the pendant.

“Sean! Sean!” Eloise cried out for Sean. When Sean heard Eloise’s cries, he ran over. The moment he saw the pendant in Eloise’s hand, he looked extremely shocked, it was as if he had recovered something that was long lost.

“This! This is the pendant we had custom made for our precious Niamh all those years ago! Did you finally find it?”

What?

Niamh did not even have time to catch her breath when she heard Sean say that. Her mind suddenly went blank as her heartbeat sped up.

“It’s definitely this pendant, but why was it with you?!” Eloise looked at the flabbergasted Niamh with a look of astonishment and confusion.

Sean turned around after hearing it as well. He saw Niamh leaning against the wall, her mask having been torn off. Her reddening face was half-covered with gauze, except for those eyes. Even though her eyes were bewildered, her pupils were still exceptionally clear and vibrant.

Niamh looked at the couple’s curious gazes, and a thought floated through her mind, but she did not dare voice it out.

“This pendant was with you?” Sean asked Niamh, “Where did you find it?”

Niamh locked eyes with Sean with a lost look on her face. “My grandfather ga…”

“No wonder Nevaeh’s pendant went missing, you were the one who stole it!”

Niamh’s explanation was interrupted by Rose. She pinned the crime on Niamh, with a furious expression on her face.

“Niamh, our family took you in because we pitied you. We clothed you and fed you, and even allowed you to be educated alongside Nevaeh. Sometimes, we even gave you things that Nevaeh did not have, but how could you do such a despicable thing!”

“Niamh, you have really disappointed me. Do you really like stealing things so much? You stole away my fiancé, and now you even stole such an important pendant away from me. Do you know how important that was to me?!” Nevaeh’s eyes were red as she uttered those words in sorrow.
