Chapter 70 – Until You Say Sorry Novel

“I won’t do it,” Niamh finally said, her tone sounding oddly calm.

Kendrick saw Niamh sitting in front of him coldly and motionlessly while her eyes were on somewhere else. She did not once look into his eyes. Kendrick felt anger rising in his chest. “Niamh, don’t try to challenge my patience. You know the consequences to that.”

When she was faced with his threats and warnings, Niamh did not have any fear on her face. On the contrary, she smiled.

“Kendrick, I’ll tell you this one last time. I won’t sign your divorce papers. If you want to marry Nevaeh, sure. Then you should just wait for me to sue you for bigamy.”

“Niamh Delgado!” Kendrick was completely enraged. “I’m going to ask you one last time as well. Are you signing or not?”

“No!” Niamh said firmly.

Kendrick’s face became icy. When he saw that Niamh was still acting arrogant and refusing to look at him, he strode over to her and forced the pen into her hand. Then, he held her right hand tightly.

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

“Didn’t you refuse to sign? I’ll help you do it then!” His frigid and menacing voice next to her ear sounded like the final nail in the coffin for her.

Niamh struggled with all her might, but the more she struggled, the more pain she was in. Her worsening tumor and her heart were all in debilitating pain at this moment.

“Kendrick, you beast! I won’t let you and Nevaeh have your way even if I die!” She pushed him away forcefully and turned around to run.

For someone who had lost her vision, every step she took was extremely dangerous.

Before Niamh could run far, she tripped on something and fell heavily. Pain overwhelmed her entire body.

When she wanted to get up, Kendrick’s huge body loomed over her.

Niamh could not see anything. As such, she could only sense a black shadow coming down on her and trapping her mercilessly.

Kendrick did not notice something was wrong with Niamh’s eyes. He placed his knee on her back and grabbed the divorce papers. Placing them in front of Niamh, he threw the pen down.

“Niamh, don’t make this harder than it should be. As long as you sign the papers like a good girl, I’ll give you some money.”

“I don’t want your money!”

“Then what do you want? Are you still so naive to think that I have feelings for you even until now?”

His words froze her.

“Niamh, listen here. I’ve never liked you, let alone loved. Not even a little bit.”

His cruel words left no room for maneuver, penetrating Niamh’s heart like a heartless blade.

She could feel a dull pain in her heart as the familiar metallic taste of blood started rising in her throat again.

“Don’t waste my time. After you sign the papers, I’ll go prepare for my engagement with Nevaeh. If you don’t want to sign, then just think about your grandfather’s ashes.”

“Hehe…” Niamh laughed lamentably. Her eyes that had lost all light were already red and wet. “Alright, I’ll sign.”

She finally agreed. She fumbled for the pen in the dark with tears in her eyes. Then, she swallowed the blood in her mouth resolutely.

“Kendrick, just as you wish, you’re finally going to marry her. From now on, we’ll go our separate ways.”

When Kendrick heard her saying that, he felt a sudden chill in his heart. A strange feeling was bubbling in his heart as it started beating erratically.

He looked at Niamh who was holding in the pain while touching the papers with her left hand over and over again. Even after a long while, she had not signed the papers.

“Madeleine, are you still trying to fool around?”

Niamh smiled bitterly and lamentably. “Mr. Waldburg, I’m blind. I can’t see.”

“You’re blind?” Kendrick thought she was lying to him to buy time. He scoffed and replied, “Alright, since you’re blind, I’ll help you.”

After he said that, Niamh felt a warmth on the back of her hand

Kendrick held her hand tightly and forced her to sign her name ‘Niamh Delgado’ on the last page.

It was her name but in his handwriting.

After Kendrick was done, he swung her hand aside and pulled the papers away. He looked at the name on the paper and felt an uneasiness in his heart. Not only did he not feel relieved, but he also felt an abnormally heavy weight pressing on him.

He lowered his eyes and looked at Niamh who was still on the floor. Her face was pale and there were tears in her eyes. Other than that, there was also blood on her lips as if she had bitten her lip too hard. She looked battered and pitiful.

Kendrick frowned. “Niamh, do you have any requests?”

“500,000 dollars,” she said without hesitating.

After Kendrick heard that, he scoffed in disdain. “It looks like you came prepared. I’ll ask someone to transfer the money into your account immediately.”

After he said that, his phone rang.

When he picked up the phone, Niamh heard Nevaeh’s sweet voice from the other end of the phone. She heard Kendrick reply softly, “Okay, I’ll be there in a minute.”

In the next second, she heard him turning around. Her remaining vision turned dimmer and dimmer as he turned around. Then, it went out, and finally, all she could see was darkness.

She could feel something breaking inside her body at that moment.

The broken pieces were stabbing into her heart like thistles and thorns.

She looked up with her eyes that had lost their vision and stared in the direction where he left. At that moment, she understood. Her pursuit and love for him her entire life was all just a one-man show.

‘Kendrick, thank you for stopping by.

‘I hope I’ll never see you in my next life…’

Niamh was ready for the worst. Even though she could not see her face and appearance, she could clearly feel her body steadily deteriorating.

However, she still had one last wish before she died.

She wanted to see her biological parents before she passed, even though they hated her to the bone.

She stood next to the road and waved her hand to flag down a car. Finally, a car stopped in front of her. However, the driver drove away quickly after they saw the two wretched scars on her ghostly pale face.

Niamh had no choice. She could only walk forward following the tactile paving on the side of the road. Time after time, cars would stop for her, but no one was willing to give her a lift.

She gritted her teeth and continued walking. However, she did not know when it started snowing.

The coldness brushed past her cheek and went all the way into her heart.

Niamh took out the photo from her pocket and gave it a gentle kiss, cherishing it.

‘Baby.

‘My darling baby.

‘Mommy won’t feel cold with you here.’

“There’s a celebrity over there! Let’s go over and take a look!” An excited voice sounded from behind Niamh.

Celebrity?

This should be a lively scene, right? It was a shame she could not see anything.

Niamh smiled pitifully. Then, she felt the people running from behind her crashing into her shoulder.

She stumbled forward. She did not fall, but the photo in her hand was gone.

The look on Niamh’s face changed. She squatted down and started feeling the ground around her. Her hands were all covered in dirt and still, she could not find it.

Niamh was frantic. She was so frantic that tears started to escape from her eyes.

Kendrick drove past her coincidentally. He saw a lot of people looking at something from the corner of his eyes. He merely glanced at them but when he was about to focus his attention back on the road again, he saw a familiar figure.

He slammed the brakes and looked in disbelief at Niamh who was kneeling on the ground as she searched aimlessly for something

Her face was as pale as snow, and she had a worried expression on her face. She looked so haggard, seemingly having lost all the vigor that she used to have. Plus, tears were even rolling down her cheeks.

As the tears rolled down her cheeks, it felt as if they were hitting against his heart. His heart felt as if it was burning.

Kendrick held the steering wheel even tighter. He was starting to suspect whether his eyes were not working. However, it was obvious that Niamh was the one whose eyes were not working.

She was blind.

She was really blind.

She was not joking earlier when she had difficulty signing the divorce papers. It was real.

However, she was just fine previously. Why was she blind now?

Kendrick watched as Niamh crawled on the ground as she looked for something while sobbing. He felt that it was getting hard to breathe and even felt like he was going to suffocate.

The snow was getting heavier and even rain started to fall.

The people around her started to leave, leaving the street empty. However, Niamh was still looking for something.
