Chapter 67 – Until You Say Sorry Novel

“Nothing. I just think it’s a great pity.”

Pity?

Niamh felt that something was amiss, but she did not ask any more questions.

Some words would be said when the time was right. He might find her annoying if she kept asking.

In the end, she opened the door and invited Felipe in.

“I heard about Brittany. I believe that it has nothing to do with you. You’re not someone who’s cruel and cold-blooded.”

Niamh was touched that Felipe was always so trusting of her. He took a sip of his warm tea and looked at Niamh’s pale face.

“I’ll keep your resignation letter. You can go back to work anytime you want.”

“Thank you for your trust and kindness, Mr. Waldburg. However, I think I don’t have the chance to go back anymore.” Niamh smiled bitterly.

“You can come back anytime as long as you want to.” Felipe’s answer was gentle, just like the handsome smile on his face.

Even though he looked cold and elegant, when he opened his mouth, his voice was as gentle as the spring breeze.

Niamh could feel his kindness. However, Felipe would never know that it was not her who was refusing to go back to work, but in fact, it was because she did not have much time left.

She did not have a choice but to let go of her career in jewelry design and the people who she loved most.

Felipe did not stay long. He left after a short while.

Niamh lay in bed and could not sleep. She grabbed a new diary and picked up the pen again.

A few days later, Niamh finally removed the bandage on her face. She looked at her face in the mirror and felt extremely foreign.

The illness was slowly destroying her body and appearance.

She had gotten thinner and looked haggard. Her bony face made the two scars on her face look even more disgusting.

Niamh put on a face mask and left the house with the bloody earring.

She was in a rush to get to the police station. However, the moment she got out of the door, she ran into Daniel.

Since he could not contact Niamh during this period, he was extremely worried. Finally, he got Niamh’s current address from Ava.

When he saw the ugly scars on Niamh’s face, Daniel’s heart was almost in pieces.

Then, he looked at her thin and haggard face. He was mortified and brought Niamh over to Adam by force.

Niamh knew her condition and did not want the people she cared about to worry about her. However, she could not win against Daniel, so she was forced to go for a check-up.

After they got the result, Adam’s face looked solemn. “Niamh, have you been throwing up blood recently?”

“Vomiting blood?” Daniel’s scalp felt numb when he heard that. When he saw Niamh staying silent, his heart felt as if it had fallen into a bottomless abyss. “Niamh, you…”

Niamh smiled lightly. “Dan, don’t worry about me. This is just a common symptom of my illness. I still owe you so much money. I’ll make sure to live so that I’ll be able to repay my debt to you.”

She smiled as if nothing had happened. Then, she gave Adam a look.

Adam understood and cooperated with Niamh. He got Daniel out of the room with the excuse of doing more check-ups and stayed in the room alone with Niamh.

“Dr. Brown, just tell me the truth. How much time do I have?” Niamh asked bravely. She was ready to face death with equanimity.

Adam sighed in regret. He did not hide anything when he said, “If you’re lucky, two months.”

Niamh was slightly shocked. “If I’m not?”

“If you suffer any triggers or the tumor decides to worsen during this period, you’ll have one month max.”

Oh.

Niamh stayed silent and muttered to herself irresolutely.

She had at least a month left.

A month was enough for her to take the evidence to the police and report that Nevaeh had killed someone.

After she left the hospital, Daniel took her on an aimless car ride around the city center. Toward the end of their trip, he stopped next to a food truck.

Daniel looked at Niamh with a gentle and soft smile on his handsome face. “Niamh, will you have tacos with hot sauce with me again this time?”

Niamh felt surprised. However, when she saw the glistening tears in Daniel’s eyes, she sensed something.

Did he already know that she did not have much time to live?

Niamh did not think too much into it. She smiled and nodded. “Of course. And not just this time, we’ll have lots of chances in the future.”

“Really?” Daniel looked at her expectantly.

“Yeah, really,” Niamh replied confidently.

Niamh accompanied Daniel as he ate tacos with hot sauce by the food truck. They started talking about their life at university.

Daniel confessed that he had fallen for Niamh the first day she got into university. Eventually, he found out that she had already fallen for Kendrick at first sight.

However, Niamh knew that she did not fall for Kendrick at first sight. In fact, her love for him rekindled after she saw him again.

After they finished eating, Daniel sent Niamh back to her house. He wanted to hang out with her a bit more in her home, but he received a call from his family, so he had no choice to go back.

He watched as Niamh’s scrawny frame walked further and further away from him. Daniel could not control himself and got out of the car. Then, he ran in front of Niamh.

Niamh did not have time to react before Daniel planted a gentle kiss on her forehead.

“Niamh, I like you.”

After he said that, he turned around and went back to his car.

Niamh was frozen in place. The wind lifted the thin bangs on her forehead, and it felt as if she could still feel the residual warmth.

“Niamh Delgado!”

While she was spacing out, an eerie voice came from behind her.

Niamh turned around abruptly and saw Kendrick walking downstairs from the apartment.

He walked toward her with a murderous aura around him. His deep eyes looked unperturbed, but the cold air coming from his body was enough to make Niamh shiver.

She forced herself to stay calm. However, her heart was beating erratically.

The cold wind kept attacking her body and yet it was nothing compared to the murderous aura coming from Kendrick.

“You’re really something else. Felipe, Daniel, and Tanner. Just how many men do you have?”

Those bone-chilling words came out from his thin lips.

He walked in front of her and grabbed her wrist.

“Do you think I’m dead? How dare you love and coo with another man on the streets?”

Niamh clenched her fist at Kendrick’s insults. “So what? Don’t you always do that with Nevaeh in front of me, Mr. Waldburg? Do you think about your wife when you do that?”

After she said that, a layer of frost appeared on Kendrick’s face.

“How dare you talk to me like that? Niamh, do you want to be punished?”

After his brutal words, he grabbed Niamh violently.

She could not defend herself and was dragged upstairs by Kendrick.

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

She struggled hard, but he only turned a blind eye. When they got into the house, Kendrick pushed Niamh onto the bed. He pressed his body against hers in a brutal fashion when she tried to run away.

Niamh was so petrified that her face had turned pale. She wanted to run, but she was trapped.

Kendrick pinched her cheek and forced her to look at him.

She kept shaking her head as she struggled. “No! Kendrick, don’t touch me! Let go!”

“You were so happy when Daniel kissed you, but now you’re so reluctant when I touch you?”

Looking at Niamh’s conflicting and resisting gaze, Kendrick’s face was grim while his eyes were extremely icy.

“Niamh, look closely. I’m your husband.” His deep and seductive voice sounded next to Niamh’s ear. In the next second, she felt him biting her shoulder.

“I don’t want this, Kendrick!”

She knew what he was going to do to her, and it made her so scared that even her bones were shaking.
