Chapter 65 – Until You Say Sorry Novel

“Niamh! Why do you have this phone? Where’s Kendrick?!”

“I’m Kendrick’s wife, what’s wrong with me answering the phone?”

“You…”

Nevaeh was so angry she had no words, Niamh could just imagine the twisted face she was making right now.

“Don’t call my husband again. If you’re free, you should be thinking of a way to explain to the police how something belonging to you was found at the scene of Brittany’s murder.” After Niamh said that, Nevaeh was speechless.

This led Niamh to be even more confident that Nevaeh had something to do with Brittany’s death.

Thinking that her own parents were showing so much love to that animal, Niamh decided to send a message to Eloise after some consideration. She wanted to voice her suspicions, in hopes that Eloise and Sean would take some precautions.

However, she did not get any reply as Kendrick woke up.

Niamh offered him fever medication and warm water. Kendrick’s eyes measured Niamh, seemingly suspecting something.

“Are you worried I’m trying to poison you?” Niamh placed the medicine and the cup down. “It’s up to you.”

She left right after, without any hesitation.

Kendrick looked at Niamh’s thin back with a complicated expression before gulping down the medicine, then shutting his eyes to get some more rest.

The sky turned to night, and Niamh had dinner ready on the table before getting Kendrick. He seemed to be much better as he sat down at the table. His appetite was good, but he noticed Niamh far away from him.

“You’re not going to eat with me?” Kendrick said, his alluring eyes staring right at her.

Niamh had a calm expression. “Mr. Waldburg, please leave after you finish eating, it would be best if you stop coming back from now on.”

Kendrick smiled as he said, “Niamh, why do you need to pretend you want me away from you? You were so into it when I kissed you during the day!”

“Don’t mention that anymore!” Niamh said, losing control of herself for a moment. “Kendrick Waldburg, you’ve disappointed me too much.”

“So what? It won’t change the fact that you love me.”

Niamh was so angry she felt like exploding. Her heart hurt, and so did her stomach.

“I loved you once, but now, even being touched by you disgusts me!”

Hearing those words, the food in Kendrick’s mouth stopped tasting good. He put down his utensils, getting up, and walking toward Niamh.

Niamh felt something was wrong, so she turned around to leave. However, Kendrick was much faster, with both his hands, he pinned her against the wall.

Niamh did not dare look at Kendrick, but he bent his head, deliberately getting closer to her, placing his handsome and evil face right in front of her eyes.

Feeling his breath drawing closer to her, Niamh was so scared her throat began to tighten. She immediately ducked down and tried to escape under his arms, but Kendrick anticipated it, grabbing her chin with his hand.

“Let me go!”

Niamh was extremely scared, ready to run at any moment.

Kendrick knitted his eyebrows. “Now you don’t want me touching you? Do you have someone new in your heart? Don’t forget, Niamh, I am your husband!”

“When have you ever treated me like your wife? You’ve never!” Niamh shouted at the man, her eyes burning. She clenched her teeth, refusing to allow her tears to fall.

“Kendrick, I don’t love you anymore. I’ve really stopped loving you! Please stop touching me, go ahead and touch Nevaeh. You love her so much, then just save yourself for her. Stop touching a filthy and despicable woman like me. You said it yourself, I’m not worthy!”

Niamh did not have anything left to say, she saw Kendrick a complicated look on Kendrick’s face that she did not understand at all.

“Niamh.” He suddenly said in a calm manner, reaching out to try to hold her hand. However, Niamh avoided it, not even looking him in the face.

Looking at her face that was still covered in bandages, and his expression slowly turned a lot gentler. He bit his lips, wanting to say something when his phone suddenly rang.

He let Niamh go, picking up his phone.

When he looked at the phone, he hesitated for a few seconds before picking up.

Niamh was curled up against the wall, being terrified by the silence. It was also the silence that let him hear what was said on the phone, “Kendrick, come to the hospital quickly. It’s Nevaeh, she’s about to die!”

Nevaeh was about to die?

Niamh refused to believe those words. It was definitely another trick by Nevaeh, but she saw that Kendrick’s face changed immediately to one of concern.

He hung up and turned around to leave.

However, as he stood at the door, he seemed to remember something and pulled Niamh up.

“Kendrick, what are you doing? Let me go!” Niamh struggled.

“From now on, it’s best you don’t leave my sight.” His tone left no room for arguments as he shoved Niamh into the car.

Niamh quickly understood. “Are you afraid I’ll bring the evidence over to the police and report Nevaeh? Kendrick Waldburg, you really are a bastard! You’re willing to ignore your morals for a woman like that, and you’re even willing to protect a murderer!”

Kendrick listened to Niamh berating her and suddenly roared, his cold hands clamping against Niamh’s throat. “Nevaeh has always been innocent and kind, she’d never do something sick like that! I won’t allow you to slander her!”

Niamh struggled to breathe, her face red as she forced a smile. “Slander? Kendrick, do you know what slander truly is?”

“Kendrick, when you were dreaming in the afternoon, did you not dream of our dead child? Has your consciousness never hurt for it?” Niamh looked at the man that had a conflicted expression.

“That child was not mine.” He said through clenched teeth, his eyes coldly gazing at Niamh, but there was a sliver of doubt in them.

Niamh laughed, her tears dropping on Kendrick’s hands.

Kendrick suddenly felt it was abnormally hot, burning him until he let go of Niamh’s throat. He uncomfortably avoided Niamh’s case, starting the car.

“If you don’t want to die, then stop provoking me.”

Niamh inhaled deeply, not speaking again.

At least for the moment, she really did not want to die. She wanted to live until Nevaeh’s true face was revealed.

Niamh was forcefully brought to the hospital by Kendrick. Nevaeh was in the VIP ward, and Niamh could vaguely hear the sounds of her crying inside. Seeing that Niamh was here, Rose stopped her at the door.

“Niamh you despicable woman, what are you here for! Do you think Nevaeh isn’t dying fast enough?!” She shouted in anger, her finger pointing at Niamh, looking like a shrew.

Niamh calmly looked at Kendrick. “I didn’t want to come either, but my husband forced me.”

Kendrick heard that and looked at Niamh who was smiling subtly, he furrowed his eyebrows but did not deny it.

At that moment, Eloise walked out of the ward. She sent a look of pure hatred when she saw Niamh. “What are you doing here? You’ve killed Brit, and now you’re trying to kill off my remaining daughter! Niamh, how could you be so vile! I really want to see what sort of parents could give birth to a despicable woman like you!”

Hearing Eloise’s words, Niamh’s heart clenched up. What sort of parents…

She did not know if she should laugh or cry, but could only explain, “Mrs. Montgomery, I did not kill Brit, someone else did. That person is…”

“Are you trying to say it’s Nevaeh?! You really are despicable!” Eloise shouted thunderously, “Nevaeh tried to kill herself because of you!”

“Mom, don’t blame Niamh for it. It’s all my fault, my fault. Just let me die, I’m so tired…” Nevaeh’s frail voice could be heard from inside the ward.

Kendrick glanced at Niamh without a word before hurrying inside, whereas Eloise stared at Niamh in rage before running in herself.

Niamh wanted to go in as well, but was stopped by Rose. “Niamh, who do you think you are? You are not worthy of coming into Nevaeh’s ward!”

Niamh looked directly at Rose. “You know exactly who I am.”

“You…” Rose was suddenly stunned speechless.

Niamh was very satisfied when she saw that. Just as she was about to leave, she heard Eloise gently saying, “Nevaeh, don’t think these thoughts. To me, you are the purest and most innocent child. That vile and shameless woman, Niamh, snatched away the man you love, harmed your child, and even harmed you. I will definitely get justice for you!”

Niamh’s legs suddenly froze, feeling extremely heavy.

She stood in front of the ward, hearing Eloise’s assessment of her. A vile and shameless woman.

Her heart had long since been hurt so much that it could never recover again, but now, these people still wanted to continue hurting her.

Eloise turned around, shooting a hateful gaze at Niamh. “Niamh! Just look at what you’ve done to Nevaeh. Kendrick was Nevaeh’s fiancé, but you used despicable means to snatch him away. Now, you even called Nevaeh with Kendrick’s phone and said those shameless things to hurt her! Do you have no shame?!”

Niamh finally understood what was going on. Nevaeh plotted this suicide scheme during the phone call she received when Kendrick was having a fever.

Niamh pursed her lips while smiling at Nevaeh. “Nevaeh, just keep on lying. Aren’t you just hoping that Kendrick and I will get a divorce so that you, the mistress, can take my spot? Isn’t that why you did this? Then listen to me. Even if I die, I’ll keep holding onto the title of Mrs. Waldburg!”

The moment she finished those words, Niamh received a slap from Eloise.

“Shameless!” she shouted, “Niamh, a girl like you deserves to be abandoned by her parents! Your parents would probably have been angered to death by you!”

Niamh’s eyes burned. She wanted nothing more but to scream out all the pain and frustration. However, she swallowed it all down. “Yes, I’ve never had parents when I was growing up. Only my mentally unstable grandfather raised me.

“My grandfather told me I wasn’t abandoned by my parents. They just overlooked me in a moment of carelessness. However, now I know that they weren’t careless. They just didn’t love me at all. That’s because they can’t even recognize me when I’m standing in front of them…

“Kendrick, you should just ignore me from now on. You shouldn’t care about me anymore!” Nevaeh shouted at just the right time, interrupting Niamh.

Niamh looked up and saw Nevaeh suddenly jumping up from the bed while holding a fruit knife in hand, acting like she wanted to kill herself.

“Nevaeh!” Kendrick called out to her anxiously, his eyes full of worry.
