Chapter 254 – Until You Say Sorry Novel

The mentioned address was consistent with the suspicious location that Kendrick had just discovered when he was going through the surveillance footage.

“It seems that Jack is near the village in the western suburbs.” Kendrick determined.

Niamh glanced at the location, then turned around and left.

Kendrick grabbed her decisively, “Where are you going?”

“To save my son,” Niamh replied simply without looking back, “Let go.”

“Knowing that this may be a trap, I can’t let you take the risks.” Kendrick walked to her. “Let me go.”

Niamh smiled and looked at the dignified man before gently moving his palm away. “No. If you really cared about Jack, he wouldn’t have been tortured by Nevaeh in the past five years till he almost suffered permanent mental damage.”

“It was just because I thought she was Jack’s mother and it’s also because I felt ashamed of what I’ve done to you, that’s why I was so indifferent toward Jack in the years since you left.”

Niamh glanced at him with alienation. “I won’t believe anything you say anymore.”

“If you really don’t believe me, you would have already gone to the police station when Ava asked you to call the police. Niamh, don’t lie to yourself. You truly still have me in your heart.”

Kendrick’s answer surprised Niamh slightly.

He was right.

At that moment, she had indeed chosen to believe in Kendrick.

It was because she felt that if Kendrick was really colluding with Rose and the others in order to save Nevaeh, then he would not have done anything extra like testify against Nevaeh in court.

However, what did it matter?

She still would not have any expectations for him, let alone love.

Niamh left decisively.

She went back to the apartment first, and when she was ready, she drove to the western suburbs by herself.

The evening breeze in early spring was blowing slowly, but it was still bitter.

Niamh dragged the suitcase and walked over to the address designated by Rose.

The suburbs were quiet at night and there were no people walking nearby. The dim yellow halo from the dilapidated street lamp flickered and dimmed. The atmosphere was very strange.

Niamh walked forward steadily until she reached a trash can.

Rose wanted her to put the suitcase full of money by the side of the trash can.

After putting it down, Niamh looked around, then turned around and walked back.

Before she went far, she heard movement from the direction of the trash can.

She guessed that it might be Rose or Jon who had gone to get the money. When she was about to turn around to follow them, she received a message on her phone from Rose’s number. A location had popped up with a few words.

[Mom, I’m here.]

Was it Jack?!

Niamh went to the location without hesitation.

She had not taken good care of this child in the past five years.

At this moment, no matter the danger or obstacle, she would definitely give her all.

Niamh very quickly found the location as it was just a hundred meters away.

The house in front of her looked dilapidated as if it was vacant, but there was also light coming through from inside the house.

Niamh walked to the window and looked inside. At a glance, she saw Jackson sitting on the small bench while being guarded by Jon who was smoking beside him. There was a fruit knife beside Jon.

Sure enough, they were the ones behind it.

Niamh clenched her fists, her worried eyes falling on Jackson’s small face.

The little guy did not seem to be afraid of anything. He was even shaking his feet while nibbling on an apple carefreely. It looked like he was talking to Jon about something.

The situation looked a little unusual, but when one thought about it, it was not too surprising either when one remembered that Jackson was just a six-year-old child.

Niamh pondered silently about a way to deal with this, and as she was about to knock on the door, Kendrick’s face involuntarily jumped into her mind.

After thinking for a few seconds, she took out her phone, typed out a paragraph, and sent it to Kendrick. Then, she was ready to act.

At this moment, however, Niamh suddenly felt someone approaching her from behind.

As she was about to dodge, the man seized her by the waist.

To prevent her from screaming, the man also covered her mouth gently with his palm.

Suddenly, a familiar smell poured into the tip of Niamh’s nose as a familiar warmth surrounded her.

Niamh raised her beautiful eyes in surprise. She saw the delicately contoured face in the dark night.

“Shhh, it’s me.”

Kendrick’s low voice sounded warmly behind her ears.

Niamh froze for a moment, then struggled.

“Don’t move, somebody’s coming,” he whispered softly before retreating behind the wall of the house with Niamh in his arms.

Above them, there happened to be a window. Niamh raised her eyes and could clearly see Rose pulling the heavy suitcase into the house.

Jon greeted them hurriedly as the eyes of both people revealed greed.

“Hahaha… We’re rich! We’re really rich this time!” Jon was so happy that his smile stretched from ear to ear.

Rose walked toward Jackson triumphantly with her arms akimbo. “You, smelly brat, are unexpectedly quite valuable.”

She wanted to pinch Jackson’s face as she spoke, but Jackson avoided her with disgust.

“Tsk! Brat! I’ll let you live for a bit. I’ll give you and the b*tch who gave birth to you a piece of hell to avenge my daughter!”

Hearing this, Kendrick’s gaze darkened. He fixed his eyes on the two individuals who were about to unpack the suitcase. He already had a countermeasure in mind.

However, his attention was quickly pulled toward the woman he was hugging in front of him.

At this moment, Niamh was neither struggling nor resisting and had allowed him to hold her in his arms. Her back was against his chest. Although they were separated by her coat, he could still feel her warmth.

Kendrick could not help but lift the corners of his lips, his icy gaze instantly becoming tender.

He could not help but get closer to Niamh, greedily enjoying this hard-won intimate contact.

Niamh did not notice Kendrick’s strangeness. Looking at the scene in the room, she was prepared to contact Rose with her mobile phone while pretending to be ignorant, but she was stopped by Kendrick. His deep, attractive, and sexy voice passed her ears numbly.

“Niamh, don’t act so rashly. See the two barrels of gasoline over there?” He reminded her, his unusual voice drawing her attention.

Niamh followed his prompt and looked toward the direction. Sure enough, there were two barrels of gasoline in the corner of the room. She suddenly had a bad feeling. “Do you think they’ll set it on fire?”

“They’re probably trying to lure you into the house by using Jack so that they can deal with you and Jack at once.” Kendrick’s tone was calm. He then hugged Niamh tightly while softly promising. “But I’ll never let them hurt my wife and child.”

Hearing this, Niamh then realized that her and Kendrick’s current position was not right. She had just wanted to push him away when Kendrick suddenly released her and turned around.
