Chapter 124 – Until You Say Sorry Novel

Everyone in the room was talking among themselves now. They were wondering what was going on while some of them were wondering what Kendrick had wanted to announce.

Niamh watched the disappearing figure in front of her as a sarcastic smile appeared on her face.

Suddenly, she felt a warm touch on her shoulder. She lifted her head and saw Felipe’s warm black eyes.

“Don’t be sad. If your parents know you’re their biological daughter, they would feel remorse for not appreciating you.” His comforting words caressed her heart silently.

Niamh smiled lightly. “Felipe, thank you for everything you did for me tonight. Even though I might never get the chance to reunite with my birth parents in this lifetime, I finally got to prove my innocence.”

“What are you going to do next?” Felipe asked softly.

An ominous glint flashed across Niamh’s eyes. She looked in the direction Kendrick had left in. “I want to know which hospital they’re going to.”

…

Half an hour later.

Niamh put on a coat and walked into the hospital in front of her.

When she walked into the inpatient department, she saw Sean hurriedly walking into the elevator.

His face was filled with worry, and it was obvious that he was worried about Nevaeh.

However, Nevaeh was only pretending to pass out earlier. Niamh had seen too much of this already. It was just that these people would choose to believe her no matter what.

Even her birth parents doted on Nevaeh.

Niamh came to the corridor outside of Nevaeh’s room. When she turned the corner, she saw Kendrick walking out of the room

His resolute and handsome face looked cold, but there was also worry in his eyes. It seemed that he was worried about Nevaeh as well.

Niamh chuckled softly before walking forward.

When Kendrick saw the person in front of him, he stopped in his tracks. He seemed surprised. “Why are you here?”

“Don’t you want to see me, Mr. Waldburg?” Niamh asked with a fake smile on her face. Then, she added, “Actually, I’m worried. However, I’m not worried about Nevaeh. I’m worried about you.”

Kendrick was taken aback. He looked at the woman who was smiling at him under the dim lights. There was an ominous glint in his eyes as he walked in front of her. “Follow me.”

He grabbed Niamh’s hand all of a sudden, the coldness of his hand traveling to her heart instantly.

She did not pull her hand away, but at the same time, she did not feel as reluctant to let go as before.

Kendrick brought Niamh to the roof of the hospital. With no one there, the place looked tranquil and eerie.

The stars were scattered in the night sky as they twinkled brightly. The cool autumn breeze caressed both of them gently.

“Why did you bring me here, Mr. Waldburg?” Niamh looked at the quiet man in puzzlement.

The cool moonlight shone down on Kendrick’s handsome face. One could not read his expression.

“If you’re not going to say anything, then I’ll leave,” said Niamh before turning around.

However, before she could walk away, Kendrick grabbed her hand. “Don’t.”

He stopped her, sounding like he was begging her.

Niamh curled the corner of her lips in secret. She could only make concessions to gain advantages now.

“Can you stay with me?”

“Stay with you?”

Niamh turned around and saw Kendrick’s deep narrow eyes staring at her.

After staring at each other for a while, Kendrick shifted his gaze before letting go of her hand.

He walked to one side and lit a cigarette. The wind brushed past them, blowing out the lit cigarette and leaving behind the faint smell of tobacco.

As Niamh looked at him, she thought that his tall and slender body looked so desolate and lonely under the moonlight.

“Is your fiancée okay?” Niamh asked as she broke the silence.

Kendrick exhaled a long puff of smoke quietly. “She’s not my fiancée anymore. I won’t marry her.”

“I don’t believe you,” Niamh said with a chuckle, “Felipe told me you like Nevaeh a lot. You like her so much that you’ll do anything for her. If not, you wouldn’t have despised the woman who married you, Niamh. If not, you wouldn’t have felt elated and not shed a single tear when Niamh died. I think you must have been ecstatic when Niamh died, right, Mr. Waldburg?”

“Ecstatic?”

After Niamh said that, she heard the man chuckle lowly in front of her.

His chuckle sounded deep and unreadable. She could not tell whether he was happy or not.

Kendrick then turned around, his narrow eyes traveling down from Niamh’s stunning face. Then, his gaze lingered on her left chest that was vaguely covered by the material of her nightgown.

He put out his cigarette and approached Niamh.

Suddenly, he reached out his hand and slammed it on the wall behind Niamh. He had successfully trapped Niamh between him and the wall.

They were standing so close to each other that Niamh could even feel his breath. It smelled like tobacco and it was brushing against her skin lightly. He stared into her eyes intensely, looking like he was going to dominate her.

He had not drunk any alcohol, but his eyes looked dazed.

“Why do you care so much about my ex-wife?”

Niamh smiled calmly. “Maybe I care about her because I look like her.”

“Then, do you care about me?”

“I don’t understand what you mean.” Niamh looked into his eyes with an equally dazed look.

Kendrick did not say anything. Suddenly, he lifted his hand to caress Niamh’s cheek.

Niamh was shocked. She quickly dodged away from him, but Kendrick did not give her the chance to escape.

He grabbed her face and tightened his grip. However, perhaps he was afraid of hurting her, so he loosened his grip slightly.

Niamh’s heart started racing when she felt the warmth from his hand seeping into her skin. “Mr. Waldburg, what are you trying to do?”

“I want to do something I’ve never done with my ex-wife before.”

His warm breath dispersed on Niamh’s cheek. She was stunned, and everything Kendrick did to her back then appeared in her head.

He was cold-blooded and heartless, so he had done every cruel thing in the world to her.

Niamh could not think of anything that he had not done to her.

While she was spacing out, she noticed Kendrick’s face inching closer to her.

Niamh’s heart started racing irregularly. She thought Kendrick was about to kiss her, so she was about to run away when he pulled her into his arms.

He lowered his head and buried his face between her neck and shoulder. He seemed to be exhausted. With this hug, he was releasing all of his unknown pressure and stress. He was indulging himself during this hug with her.

Niamh was taken aback while stuck in Kendrick’s embrace.

She was not wearing very thick clothes, so she could feel Kendrick’s warmth through the material of their clothes since they were in such close proximity. His warmth seeped into her skin, slowly spreading. It was so hot.

His breath was so close to her ear as well. His cool scent lingered in her nose, disrupting her breathing and heartbeat.

Niamh looked at the moon and was stuck in a trance.

However, she immediately recalled those sinister things he did to her.

Her racing heart went back to normal and she could not find the passion she had for him anymore.

Niamh lowered her eyes and looked at the man who was leaning against her shoulder. Then, she pushed him away.

However, the moment she moved, Kendrick’s arm circled her waist tighter.

“Don’t move,” he muttered, “I won’t do anything to you.”

“Mr. Waldburg, I don’t think this is appropriate. I’m your future aunt-in-law.” Niamh made her standpoint clear to him.

Kendrick opened his piercing yet deep eyes while curling his thin lips. “Shouldn’t the future aunt-in-law comfort her nephew at a moment like this?”

“…”

His voice was deep and charming, gliding past her ear so seductively and alluringly. Niamh felt her face heat up, then she used all of her might to push this man away from her.

She tidied her clothes and looked at the man in disapproval. “Mr. Waldburg, is this what you mean by wanting to do something you’ve never done with your wife before?”

There was a smirk on Niamh’s lips. “I guess you really hated Niamh. She married you and gave birth to your child, but you’ve never even hugged her before,” she smiled and said. However, she did not know why her heart was crying.

The moonlight was dim, and she looked at the man she used to love. She had placed all of her emotions and passion on him back then, but in the end, she did not even get a hug in return.
