Chapter 12 – Until You Say Sorry Novel

She wanted to go down to look at Nevaeh’s condition when a force pushed her away.

Niamh stumbled backward and painfully crashed into the railing. She sat on the steps and clutched her stomach which was now in excruciating pain. While the crowd criticized her, she watched as Kendrick ran down the stairs and frantically carried Nevaeh who had fallen unconscious.

He was her husband, but he was worried about another woman instead. He had never been concerned about her even when she was accused or berated.

Niamh looked at Kendrick’s back. and the temperature of her heart plummeted.

‘Kendrick, why are you doing this to me?

‘If having fallen for you was a mistake, I’m the biggest sinner ever.”

Niamh thought that aside from not believing that she had not pushed Nevaeh, the most

Kendrick would do was scold her viciously.

She had not expected him to call the cops.

Niamh no longer had any time to get her maternity results and the biopsy of the tumor. On the contrary, her wrists were put in a pair of cold handcuffs.

The policeman was stern. “Niamh Delgado. according to evidence at hand and eyewitnesses. you’re believed to be involved in a case of assault. Please return with us to the station for further investigation.”

Before Niamh could explain, she was brought to the interrogation room.

Niamh kept on repeating that she had not pushed Nevaeh. However. the police then placed the so- called evidence in front of her.

The security footage of the hospital showed that she had been talking to Nevaeh at the staircase.

At that moment, Nevaeh’s expression was kind and friendly, while Niamh’s was icy.

They then started pushing and pulling at each other. After that. Nevaeh was ‘pushed’ down the stairs by Niamh.

Two kind pregnant ladies had even come to the station to give their testimonies. They said that Nevaeh had begged Niamh to not hurt her child. Then, when they turned around. they saw Nevaeh being pushed down the stairs by Niamh.

Niamh was shocked when she saw the evidence and heard the eyewitnesses’ testimonies.

She had been framed by Nevaeh. The latter’s act had managed to fool everyone.

Consequently. Niamh was brought to the lock-up.

Niamh felt anxious when she saw the iron bars and dim surroundings.

If she were convicted of the assault. she would definitely go to prison. However. she was pregnant at the moment. She could not let her child suffer such pain with her.

At the thought of it. Niamh ran toward the iron bars frantically. “I was framed! I didn’t push anyone! I want to see my husband! Please. let me see my husband!”

After a while, Kendrick arrived. However, it was not because Niamh wanted to see him.

Instead. he had come to criticize her violently.

The light in the meeting room was dim. Nonetheless, it was enough for Niamh to see the malice and sinisterness on the man’s face.

Niamh was firm. “I didn’t push Nevaeh. She fell by herself on purpose. Kendrick, please believe me!”

Upon hearing her words, Kendrick stretched out his hand. His cold hand grabbed the back of her neck tightly. and he pushed her toward him.

His bottomless, black eyes were like cold daggers as he shot out a glare and said, “Not only is there evidence. but there are eyewitnesses. Yet, you still have the cheek to say it wasn’t your doing?”

“I did not! Nevaeh framed me! I didn’t push her! I didn’t!” Niamh was having an emotional breakdown. She kept on emphasizing the truth in hopes that the man would believe her.

However, Kendrick’s eyes only became more and more terrifying. His hand on the back of her neck tightened in grip. “Nevaeh risked her life and the child in her stomach to frame you? Niamh. don’t you think your theory is pathetic?”

Niamh endured the pain and looked into Kendrick’s eyes. He looked as if he was disgusted by her. “The child in her stomach is not…”

“Shut up!”

Before Niamh could finish, she was rudely interrupted by Kendrick.

Kendrick was flushed with anger as he pushed Niamh away.

Niamh was in handcuffs and could not support herself. So, she fell to the ground and a debilitating pain shot up her stomach. Her face was now white, but she gritted her teeth and struggled to lift her head.

“Kendrick. I did not! I really didn’t push her!”

The man towered over her: his cold, dark eyes fixed on her. “Explain your bullsh*t in prison.

Niamh. listen here. If anything happens to Nevaeh and her child, I’ll bury you along with them!”

His cold words hammered down on her before he left mercilessly.

Cold sweat drenched Niamh’s forehead as she crawled toward the direction Kendrick was walking away in. She called out for help in despair.

“Kendrick. my stomach hurts…”

However, the man did not stop. He simply walked away.

The officer closed the iron door of the meeting room and brought Niamh back to the lock-up.

That night, Niamh suffered immense pain in her stomach. She told the officer about her pregnancy. but she did not get any help. On the other hand. she was assaulted by her cellmates for no reason.

Niamh protected her stomach and let the punches land on her body.

The leader of the gang yanked Niamh’s hair and smirked as she forcefully slapped her.

“Mr. Waldburg told us to take good care of you. you little b*tch. Who asked you to bully his beloved woman?”

The blood in Niamh’s body turned cold. This was the ‘care* Kendrick had given her.

She could not even begin to imagine Kendrick’s cruelness. She was pregnant, yet he kept on treating her with violence.

Nonetheless, he had asked her to abort the child. How could he care?

In his heart, it would be best if she died.

The next day, Niamh told the officer about how she had been beaten up the night prior.

However, the other party merely looked at her dumbfoundedly, “What nonsense are you spewing? How could we not know about such things?”

Niamh knew it would be useless to complain. No one could afford to cross Kendrick in Glendale.

Her heart was cold, and she was in despair as she looked at the dark cage. Through her vision that had been blurred by tears. she saw the scenes in her memory.

‘Kendrick, you said you’d protect me forever.’

Niamh thought that she would not have a chance to get out. However. two days later, the cops said the plaintiff had dropped the lawsuit against her, and she was released.
