Chapter 23 – Until You Say Sorry Novel

“Why are you still asking her? This b*tch wants to use this opportunity to make Kendrick hate you!” Rose cooperated in the act. “Niamh, you’re so despicable! The Delgados raised you and funded your university fees. How dare you bite the hand that feeds you? Not only did you steal Nevaeh’s boyfriend, but you even used these kinds of despicable tricks. You’re so inhumane!”

The mother and daughter duo said simultaneously, placing all of those groundless crimes on Niamh.

Niamh felt lifeless all of a sudden. She knew that she did not need to explain anymore. Nevaeh had set this trap especially for her.

Even if she explained until her mouth broke, the man in front of her would still not believe her.

Despite that, she was still hopeful toward Kendrick. “Kendrick, I don’t care if you believe me or not, but I’ve never done those despicable things.”

Slap!

After she said that, Niamh received a slap across the face. There was blood on the corner of her lips.

The burning pain seared Niamh’s face. However, it was not as painful as the way Kendrick was looking at her.

“Niamh, you’re not only evil, but you’re also devoid of conscience. You would go as far as cursing your grandfather just to get my attention. You even set a trap to frame Nevaeh. I think you’re just bored with your life.”

Niamh turned her face to one side and scoffed lightly.

Idiot.

The man she loved was such an idiot.

Not only was he an idiot, but he was also blind.

“Ah, Kendrick! My stomach… My stomach hurts all of a sudden…” Nevaeh started screaming pretentiously. “Kendrick, is something wrong with our baby? I’m scared…”

“The baby must’ve been disturbed when that b*tch slapped you! Kendrick, send Nevaeh to the hospital now. You might not even get the chance to be a father after you go!” Rose purposely made a huge fuss and exaggerated the situation.

Kendrick’s expression changed as he carried Nevaeh worriedly to the garage. “Don’t be scared. Our son will be fine.”

Son. He had even checked the sex of the baby with her.

Niamh’s heart was shattered. “Nevaeh is just putting on a show. Kendrick, are you blind?”

Thud!

Niamh yelled, but she did not expect Jon to lift his leg and kick her heavily on her chest. Niamh was unprepared and got kicked to the shrubs nearby. Her palm was sliced open by the jagged branches. Her bloody palm was decorated with old wounds and new wounds.

She stood up challengingly. However, she could taste the metallic taste of blood coming from her throat. Then, she started vomiting blood.

Jon and Rose were shocked when they saw Niamh vomiting blood, but at the same time, they felt pleased.

The duo shut the door and ignored Niamh. They did not care about her at all. It would be better if she died.

Niamh curled up in between the shrubs with her body covered with dirt and rainwater. She clutched her painful stomach and watched as Kendrick carried Nevaeh into the car.

He could see her from the rearview mirror, but he did not even want to look at her.

On the other hand, Nevaeh was staring at her. She smiled victoriously without a trace when she saw Niamh as pale as a corpse with her mouth filled with blood.

Niamh lowered her hand that was trying to ask for help hopelessly as she watched the car drive away.

Her tears and the rainwater blurred her vision.

He was so worried about Nevaeh’s child, but he did not care about the child in her stomach. He even wanted to kill the child in her stomach.

Niamh chuckled lamentably. She was laughing at how sad her life was.

When did her life become like this? Perhaps it started from the moment she fell in love with the man that she was not supposed to fall in love with.

…

Niamh had to be hospitalized for a few days for her internal and external injuries. Thankfully, her child was fine.

No one asked about her these few days. Daniel was the only one who called her and asked about her condition. Niamh skimped over this while pretending nothing happened. She did not want Kendrick to target Daniel anymore.

When she was discharged, the doctor told her in regret. She was unable to have an abortion to perform the surgery to remove her tumor in her current situation now.

When she heard this, Niamh did not have any sad reactions. On the contrary, she just smiled calmly.

When she walked out of the hospital, the warm winter sun landed on her thin face. She did not feel any warmth now, especially when she thought about how Kendrick treated her. It was as if she had a huge crack in her heart and the cold wind was invading it mercilessly.

Niamh was going to take the bus, but she saw a familiar figure at the side door of the hospital. When she looked closer, she saw that it was Eloise and her husband, Sean.

Even though Eloise was biased against Niamh and despised her after what her precious daughter told her, for some reason, Niamh still felt that Eloise looked amiable.

She saw Eloise frowning, looking pained. Then, she heard her mentioning something about the hospital, birthmark, and daughter.

Niamh figured she might be talking about her daughter, Brittany. As such, she did not want to disturb her. She turned around to leave.

At this moment, Nevaeh walked out of the hospital while grumbling. She knew Niamh was staying in this hospital. She wanted to come to insult Niamh when Kendrick did not have time to accompany her. However, she was told that Niamh had left before she got here.

She swore in agitation. Then, she lifted her head and saw Eloise and Sean standing at the side door.

Nevaeh put on a gentle and lovable smile. When she was about to go over and greet them, she saw Eloise leaning against Sean’s chest sadly while saying, “I wonder where our daughter is? I wonder if she’s doing well. Sean, please don’t let Brit know that she’s not our biological daughter.”

“Don’t worry. Our daughter will be the only 24 years old young woman in this world with a butterfly birthmark on her lower back. I’ll find her even if I have to flip the entire Glendale over!”

Nevaeh was stunned. She could not believe what she just heard.

She was pleased with the fact that Brittany was not their biological daughter. However, she was unable to accept what Sean said.

She remembered clearly that Niamh had a butterfly birthmark on the left side of her lower back! Plus, Niamh and Brittany’s birthdays were on the same day. She was also 24 this year!

Niamh went back to the house. She wanted to leave after packing some clothes. However, when she saw the baby clothes on the sofa, she could not help but hold them in her hands while feeling reluctant.

When she remembered that Kendrick was the one who bought these baby clothes for Nevaeh, she felt a pang of indescribable pain in her chest.

She touched her three-month pregnant stomach. She could feel tears pricking the corner of her eyes.

However, Niamh wiped away her tears quickly.

She hated herself for failing to live up to expectations. That man was so cruel to her and yet she was still deeply worried and longing for this man who she could not get.

Niamh took a set of baby clothes and went downstairs. However, she did not expect to run into Kendrick and Nevaeh at the door.

When she saw Nevaeh walking over while holding Kendrick’s hand intimately, Niamh’s heart started hurting as if it was being stabbed by a million needles.

“Niamh, where are you going?” Nevaeh asked while blinking innocently. She looked at the bags in Niamh’s eyes and pretended to be curious. “Eh, Niamh, when did you go to the maternity shop? Do you want to give my baby a present?”

Niamh had never seen a mistress who had so much courage like Nevaeh before.

She peered at Nevaeh in disgust. “You’re proud of being pregnant with the child of a wedded man. Nevaeh, you’re so thick-skinned.”
