In those beautiful memories, that girl would always follow him and call him Ken sweetly.
He had promised her that he would stay with her forever and take her as his wife.
After he found out that the girl’s name was Nevaeh, Kendrick made up his mind to be good to the girl named Nevaeh forever. He would punish those who hurt her severely!
However, why was Niamh suddenly telling him about the promise he had made when he was young?
Kendrick felt as if something was going to leap out of his chest. He bent down and grabbed
Niamh’s shoulders with his hands. “What did you say?”
Kendrick was fearful. He felt like there was a hidden thorn in his heart stabbing him mercilessly. He picked up Niamh without any hesitation.
When Nevaeh saw this from one side, she stepped forward to stop him. “Kendrick, where are you taking Niamh?”
However, Kendrick ignored her and sped to the hospital while holding Niamh.
Throughout the way, his brain was occupied with the moment he first met the girl when he was young. That moment was delicate yet quiet and contented. It kept on replaying in his brain.
Kendrick’s heart was beating frantically. He somehow forgot that he was supposed to be in disdain of Niamh and carried her to the ER frantically.
She had said she was pregnant and it was his. However, his body was now stained with her blood.
Kendrick felt as if he was being suffocated by something invisible. This was the first time he hoped that Niamh would be okay.
He paced back and forth as he waited outside. He felt extremely anxious.
At this moment, a nurse walked out. Kendrick stopped her and asked, “What’s happening? What’s wrong with my wife?”
The nurse looked at Kendrick. There was resentment in her tone as she said, “You’re really something else as her husband. She’s pregnant, and she was still running around in the rain. Not to mention, she’s covered in wounds all over. She has a cold and is bleeding from her genitals. It’s up to God whether the child will be saved.”
Kendrick felt like he could not breathe. The suffocating feeling made his mind go blank. There was only one thing on his mind; it was for Niamh to be saved no matter what.
After a long time, the door to the operating room opened.
Kendrick rushed to the bed and found Niamh unconscious. Seeing her colorless face, Kendrick felt a pang in his heart.
He could not help himself from holding Niamh’s cold hand as his eyes displayed a solemn gaze.
‘Niamh, tell me. Why did you call me Ken? Why do you know about my promise with Linnie when I was young?’
Niamh was brought to the VIP room where she slept drowsily. She vaguely felt someone holding her hand as the warmth slowly seeped into her skin. Her body did not feel so cold anymore.
When Niamh woke up, it was already the next day. While trying to move, she noticed that someone was holding her hand tightly.
She widened her eyes in dumbfoundedness and saw Kendrick leaning against the bed. His hand was holding hers tightly. It felt so warm.
Niamh looked at what was happening with a dazed look on her face. She felt as if she were dreaming.
Kendrick opened his eyes the moment he felt movement.
When he saw Niamh looking at him stupidly, he touched her forehead. She had had a fever the night before, but it seemed like it had gone away.
Niamh was in disbelief at Kendrick’s gentle gestures. “Kendrick…” She called out to him. Her voice was hoarse, and her throat hurt.
“Don’t talk. Let me fetch you a glass of warm water.”
“Kendrick…” Niamh’s eyes turned red, and she felt like all of her wounds had been healed.
Kendrick helped her up and fed her some water.
He did not ask her about what had happened when they were kids upon seeing her in such a weak state.
Niamh leaned against Kendrick’s chest. At this moment, his gentleness felt so surreal.
“Kendrick, why did you…”
“When did you have the baby? Why didn’t you tell me?” His tone was gentle. He had never talked to her like this before.
Niamh was stunned as she held the glass of water. She remembered telling him clearly.
When Kendrick saw that Niamh was in a state of daze, he did not say anything more.
“You should rest now. Just tell me when you’re better.” He then carefully helped her lie down.
Niamh was tearful. She was a little joyous too.
Had he remembered their promise because she had called him Ken before falling unconscious? Or was he now feeling remorseful because she almost had a miscarriage?
No matter what the reason was, Niamh was happy.
At the very least, Kendrick would look at her now.
Kendrick wanted to stay with Niamh a little longer. However, he ended up leaving after seeing that he had a few phone calls from his company. When he was about to near the lift, he heard Nevaeh’s voice from the other end of the corridor.
“Doctor, is that true?” Nevaeh sounded astonished. “Please don’t tell Niamh’s husband about this!”
Upon hearing this, Kendrick’s expression changed.
He walked nearer and saw that Nevaeh had her back against him. She was talking to Niamh’s doctor.
“Why is this happening? I never expected Niamh to do something like that…” Not long after, Nevaeh was heard sighing.
Kendrick had not gotten the full story. However, when he was about to go forward and question them, the doctor frowned and said awkwardly, “Sigh! It’s against my medical ethics to lie, but your sister is really something else. She isn’t pregnant, but she insisted on pretending to be pregnant. She even used fake blood to pretend that the baby had been affected. When we found out, she threatened to kill herself and forced us to lie with her. We’re speechless!”
Kendrick’s face was immediately covered with a layer of ice after he heard this.
She was pretending?
Niamh was pretending to be pregnant? Her blood was also fake?
“I can understand why Niamh would have done that, but I never would’ve imagined she’d threaten to kill herself and force you guys to lie to her husband. She’s so headstrong!”
“I think you should talk to your sister. Her husband will see through her fake pregnancy one day.” The doctor turned around to leave after talking to her.
Nevaeh chased up to him. “Doctor, don’t tell anyone about this, especially my sister’s husband. I’m afraid that he might kill her if he finds out.”
The doctor sighed helplessly. “You should take care of it yourself. At the end of the day, there’s nothing wrong with Niamh. She can be discharged at any time.”
“Thank you, Doctor! Thank you, Doctor!”
Nevaeh thanked the doctor as he walked away.
After thanking the doctor, Nevaeh sighed and frowned.
