Chapter 69 – Until You Say Sorry Novel

“Thank you, doctor.” She thanked the doctor in a soft voice. After she thanked him, she depended on her remaining vision to stumble back to her room.

She fumbled about her bedside table and turned on the light.

She took out her photo with trembling fingers. After she caressed the photo with her fair and thin fingers, she held the photo and curled up in bed with a broken heart.

Tears escaped her eyes, and she felt a burning sensation in them.

Niamh lifted her head to look at the ceiling. Aside from the blurry rays of light, she could not see anything.

She would be completely blind soon.

In order to protect Nevaeh, the man allowed her to hire someone to steal her corneas.

Although she was going to die soon, they would not even allow her to die with all of her organs intact.

It started drizzling. After Niamh stayed in bed for one whole day, she brought the bloody earring to the police station.

She was lying to Nevaeh when she said she had handed it to the police that day. She did not have the chance to report her that day, but now, it was happening. She was going to report Nevaeh for Brittany’s murder.

The officers in the station welcomed Niamh and took the evidence. At the same time, they also took Niamh’s statement.

She picked up the pen, and using her remaining vision, she signed her name on the statement.

After she left the station, a smile appeared on Niamh’s face.

She could finally convict Nevaeh of the crime she did.

If they were able to find Brittany’s blood on the earring, then Nevaeh would be unable to defend herself.

Niamh was waiting to receive updates from the police, but she still got nothing after two days.

She was unable to wait anymore, so she went to the police station again. However, she ran into Nevaeh and Kendrick at the entrance of the station.

Niamh could not see who they were from a distance. She was holding an umbrella while standing in the rain. She could only hear Nevaeh’s voice from a mile away.

“Kendrick, why won’t Niamh leave me alone? Will she only be happy if I die?” After Nevaeh said this, she saw Niamh. Her voice sounded surprised. “Niamh?”

Niamh tried to open her eyes, then she vaguely saw Nevaeh’s face getting close to her.

“Niamh, what can I do for you to leave me alone? Why did you accuse me of killing Brit? Brit is my best friend! Why would I kill her? It’s normal to have Brit’s blood on the earring because I was the one who gave her those earrings!” Nevaeh’s voice sounded aggrieved as she sobbed.

Niamh smiled calmly. “You killed Brittany. Do you think you’ll be able to get away with this by saying all that? Nevaeh, you can’t run from the long arm of the law. The truth will come out eventually.”

“Niamh, you…”

“No matter how good or genuine your acting and tears are, they’ll be useless with me. I can still see how hideous your heart is even though I’m blind.”

“Enough!”

Kendrick’s angry voice sounded from in front of them.

Niamh’s heart skipped a beat as her grip on the umbrella became tighter.

She lifted her head, her bright and clear eyes staring in front of her dully.

Through the light curtain of rain, Niamh could see a furious yet handsome face from the remaining vision in her left eye.

Kendrick walked in front of Niamh and pulled Nevaeh behind him.

“Niamh, I’ve warned you again and again not to harass Nevaeh. You still haven’t learned from all the lessons, huh?” His cold voice was laced with the possibility of him flipping out at any second.

Even though Niamh could not see clearly now, she could still imagine Nevaeh’s pleased smirk at Kendrick coming to her aid and the man’s cold, firm expression.

She smiled. “Mr. Waldburg, I think you know clearly who’s harassing who.”

After she said that, Nevaeh’s soft voice sounded. “Niamh, I didn’t think you’d become like this. I finally get it now. You only called yourself my sister so that you can get close to Kendrick. I was so stupid. However, I hope you won’t hurt the people I care about for the sake of our relationship.”

Kendrick immediately felt sorry and pity for Nevaeh after what she said. He placed his hand around her shoulder gently. “Nevaeh, don’t be scared. You’ll be my wife soon. I promise to always protect you. I’ll never break my promise.”

“Kendrick, it’s so good to have you here…”

“Heh.” Niamh scoffed. Bitterness and envy started rising in her chest.

Kendrick’s cold gaze landed on Niamh’s face. When he saw that she was not looking at him, the veins on his forehead protruded. “Niamh, I’ve drafted the divorce papers. I’ll give you one day to sign them after you get them!”

Niamh bit her lip. The rain falling on her umbrella felt like glass shards that were trying to pierce through her heart. She was in so much pain. “Kendrick, I told you. I won’t agree to the divorce! Don’t you even think about letting that two-faced b*tch take my place as long as I’m alive!”

“It’s not up to you!” Kendrick replied coldly. When he saw that Niamh was not even looking at him, he felt a dull ache in his heart. Then, he held Nevaeh’s hand to leave.

When he left, he deliberately slammed his shoulder into Niamh.

Niamh was already weak, so after he slammed into her, she faltered and fell. The umbrella fell at one side as the raindrops instantly drenched her clothes and face.

She sat up with a pale look on her face before she fumbled around for her umbrella.

After Kendrick started the car, he had an unknown urge in his heart. He lifted his head and looked at the rearview mirror subconsciously.

The rain became heavier while Niamh was still kneeling on the wet floor. Her hands fumbled frantically around her.

Cars drove past her and splashed water on her again and again. However, she still could not find her umbrella.

Kendrick was about to start the car, but he could not help but keep looking at the rearview mirror.

Nevaeh noticed this and immediately shifted Kendrick’s attention. “Kendrick, let’s go. We need to bring Jack to check his face.”

Kendrick turned his head. “Don’t worry, there won’t be a scar on Jack’s face.”

“I didn’t think that Niamh would hate me to this extent. I also didn’t think my father would ask people to slash Niamh on the face just to avenge me and Jack,” Nevaeh said innocently.

“Kendrick, you won’t blame my father, right?”

“You dummy, why would I blame him?” Kendrick smiled.

He looked at the rearview mirror again. He saw Niamh standing up after finding her umbrella. Then, he watched her walk away while following the path. He scoffed in a fit of unknown anger.

“That woman deserves to have her face disfigured. Who asked her to do those cruel and despicable things?”

Nevaeh was pleased when she saw Kendrick’s anger and resentment. However, she still put up the act of a saint and said, “Kendrick, I want to become your bride so badly. Do you know that after parting with you at the beach, I’ve been missing you every single day? I’ve longed for the day that I’ll become your bride, and this day is finally here.”

Kendrick was silent for a few seconds before coming back to his senses.

“I’ll keep my promises to you.”

“Okay.” Nevaeh smiled sweetly. However, there was a glint of envy in her eyes.

Despite Kendrick promising her as such, she still felt uneasy.

She figured she could only be at complete ease if Niamh died.

…

Niamh went back to her home and took some painkillers.

She had been through so much these few days that she figured she might not even have a month.

She kept recalling how Kendrick told Nevaeh that he would take her as his bride in front of her. She felt as if a thousand ants were gnawing on her heart. The pain kept invading her withered and broken body repeatedly.

Some time had passed since she took the painkillers, but her pain still did not lessen.

Niamh took out the photo Nevaeh had thrown to her previously and caressed it with her fingers. It was as if she could feel the child’s features this way.

‘Darling.

‘Mommy will reunite with you soon. Soon…’

Niamh closed her eyes in despair.

The next day, she received the divorce papers from Kendrick.

He asked his assistant to send them over. The assistant waited for Niamh to sign them before taking them back. However, Niamh refused to sign the papers no matter what. Eventually, the assistant could only call Kendrick.

After a while, Kendrick arrived.

It had been raining for the past few days and the air surrounding his body had gotten even colder.

Niamh was sitting on the sofa with a distant look on her face. Despite her remaining vision becoming dimmer and dimmer, she could still sense that Kendrick was getting closer to her.

He threw the papers at Niamh’s face. “Sign them.”

His words had no warmth at all. Those two words were brief and to the point.

Niamh was like a statue, giving no reactions at all.

Kendrick’s face became colder. “Niamh, I’m asking you to sign the papers.”
