Chapter 24 – Until You Say Sorry Novel

Nevaeh’s face fell. She looked at Kendrick aggrievedly. “Kendrick, I think I should go home. I’m worried that Niamh will get jealous again. It’s fine if she hurts me, but if she hurts our child, I’m worried that I won’t be able to keep him.”

She was saying that innocently, but she was obviously trying to enrage Kendrick.

“You’re not the one who should leave.” Kendrick looked at Niamh with an icy gaze. “Scram. Don’t ever appear in Nevaeh’s vision anymore.” He warned coldly. Then, he pointed at the baby clothes Niamh was holding.

“I bought those for Nevaeh’s child. Who allowed you to touch them? Don’t you know how filthy you are? How is my son going to wear the clothes you’ve touched?”

He was calling her filthy. He was calling it his son.

Niamh could not endure the excruciating pain in her heart. She looked at the face that she had loved for 12 years and her heart ached.

“Kendrick, why are you so cruel to me? Is it just because you think that I planned for you to sleep with me? Is that why I’ve become an eyesore to you? However, do you know that time—”

“Niamh,” Nevaeh interrupted suddenly. She walked over to advise her. “You can’t blame Kendrick for being mad. He’s a neat freak. You had so many relationships with different men and even slept with so many men for money. I can’t even accept this, let alone Kendrick.”

Hehe.

Niamh wanted to burst out laughing. Nevaeh’s every word was filled with hypocrisy and provocation. However, Kendrick believed her every word.

His face became gloomy immediately. He then pulled Nevaeh back into his arms.

“Don’t you think that she’s filthy? How can you touch her? Come, let’s go back to our room.”

He held Nevaeh’s hand and turned around. Niamh’s eyes hurt from looking at the two of them. The pain went straight to her heart. Plus, Nevaeh even turned around and gave her a victorious smirk.

Niamh’s heart sank. She knew that no matter what, she would not be able to hide how Kendrick felt about her.

She forced herself to not think about him. She worked hard to make her life go back to normal. After all, she was still hoping that she would be able to hold on until the birth of her child.

Niamh transferred Len to another hospital. It was obvious that Nevaeh had bribed the nurse from before.

Niamh left after she settled her grandfather’s matters.

She then passed by a maternity shop. After hesitating at the door for a while, she went in.

She picked out two sets of clothes—one pink and one blue.

The baby in her child would be able to wear these no matter what their sex was.

Niamh was about to pay for the clothes. However, when she turned around, she saw Nevaeh.

It seemed as if she was alone. She had a sinister smile on her face. Niamh wanted to walk past her, but Nevaeh stopped her.

“Niamh, you’re in so much trouble and you’re still in the mood to shop? Aren’t the police looking for you?”

Niamh was confused about what she was talking about. Then, Nevaeh continued. “You’re such a character as well. It’s fine if you don’t have talent, but why did you plagiarize other people’s work? The company, Minora, is suing you for ruining their company’s name. Plus, they’re also suing you for breaching their intellectual property rights. If you’re convicted of this crime, you’re going to jail.”

Niamh was puzzled. The company that Nevaeh mentioned was the company that entrusted her to design the couple rings.

However, that was her own creation. She never stole any designs, so how was this plagiarism?

“Nevaeh, stop spewing nonsense! You’re ruining my reputation by slandering me like this.”

“Niamh, stop pretending. This is not the first time you did something so heinous,” Nevaeh said with pity.

Niamh did not want to fight with Nevaeh anymore. She had been at the losing end a few times. She did not want Nevaeh to have any chance of framing her again.

However, it was as if Nevaeh knew that Niamh wanted to leave, so she grabbed her hand hurriedly and said in a gentle but loud voice, “Niamh, I know you hate me, but please don’t kill my child. Come at me if you want revenge. The child is innocent!”

This again.

Niamh had fallen for it the first time, so she would not allow Nevaeh to set her up again.

However, Nevaeh was even more devious than Niamh imagined. She pulled Niamh’s hand and swung it all of a sudden. Then, she fell backward as if she had lost her balance.

“Ah!” she yelled out in pain. The staff and customers of the maternity shop all looked over.

Then, Kendrick appeared just in time. He saw Nevaeh on the floor holding her stomach in pain. He carried her hurriedly. There was a puddle of blood where Nevaeh was lying on just now.

At this moment, Nevaeh’s eyes were red. She shrieked at Niamh bitterly and hatefully, “Niamh, why are you so cold-blooded? Why’d you steal my boyfriend? And now, you even want to kill my child! I’m your sister!”

She fell into Kendrick’s arms while looking like she was in immense pain. “Kendrick, I can’t keep the child anymore. I can feel him slipping away from my body…”

The onlookers all glared at Niamh in unison.

Kendrick was looking at her with so much malice. It was as if he wanted to kill her. “Niamh! If anything happens to my child, I’ll bury you along with him!”

Niamh felt a gust of cold air rising from her feet. A bad feeling washed over her entire body.

Kendrick left her with a warning before leaving hurriedly with Nevaeh in his arms.

Niamh turned around to chase up to them, but the moment she stepped out of the shop, she was stopped by two cops. Someone had called the cops.

This familiar scene caused Niamh’s scalp to feel numb. She remembered how she was beaten up badly when she was in the lockup. She almost lost her child.

If she went into lockup again, she might die there. She wanted to see the birth of Kendrick and her child before she died. She did not want to go in!

“I didn’t push her! She purposely fell!” Niamh was on the brink of an emotional breakdown.

Then, the sounds of criticism and gazes of disdain from the people around were all aimed at her. Everyone was sure that she was the one who did that heinous crime.

The cops handcuffed Niamh when they saw that she was refusing to cooperate. Then, they brought her into the cop car.

Niamh was being held in the lockup. Two days later, she finally met Kendrick.

It was the same meeting room as last time. However, she looked even more battered than before. On the other hand, the man looked even angrier than last time.

He was like a demon from hell. The moment he came in, he grabbed Niamh’s collar as his icy gaze almost penetrated her like an ice sword.

“Niamh, what did I warn you about? Is it so hard to live a quiet life? Do you have to look for death?”

“Kendrick, I didn’t push her. Nevaeh was the one who purposely let go of my hand after grabbing me! You can look at the security footage if you don’t believe me! There must be security cameras in that shop! Kendrick, you’ll know the truth after you see it!” Niamh was holding onto the last chance at life. She kept on emphasizing her words.

“The truth is you pushed Nevaeh! It’s clear as day on the security footage!”

What?

Nevaeh was stunned. Her mind went blank.

Kendrick showed her the footage. Niamh did not expect that this angle really made it look like she was the one who pushed Nevaeh.

All of her explanations had turned into lies.

She had nothing to say in front of this ‘evidence’ that was presented to her.
