Chapter 72 – Until You Say Sorry Novel

“Niamh!”

Kendrick ran to Niamh quickly and worriedly. He did not know how much fear and terror was in his heart when he yelled out Niamh’s name.

Niamh’s shaky body was being held by Kendrick.

Her legs gave up as she leaned against the wall to force herself to stand up. However, she could not do it no matter how hard she tried. Even her consciousness was trying to drift and wander.

Looking at the horrifying blood on Niamh’s lips, Kendrick’s heart leaped right up to his throat as he felt a fear that he had never felt before.

“Kendrick!” Nevaeh ran over while looking at Niamh who was on the brink of death. Of course, she felt carefree, but she was extremely displeased with how Kendrick was treating Niamh now.

“Kendrick, the guests are waiting. How can you abandon Nevaeh and chase after that woman?” Eloise came over as well. She looked at Niamh who was vomiting blood with disgust. “It’s obviously fake blood. Kendrick, can’t you tell? She’s lying to you with fake blood. The reason she’s here today is to stop your engagement with Nevaeh!”

Heh.

Niamh’s consciousness started to drift, but she could still hear Eloise’s hurtful words.

Whatever.

She was about to die anyway. She would not feel heartbroken when she was dead.

“Kendrick, get away now! That woman has blood all over her. How filthy!” Eloise urged.

“Shut up!” Kendrick yelled all of a sudden. A horrifying rage had taken over his face that was as exquisite as fine art. Nevaeh and Eloise were petrified when they saw that.

“Niamh, what’s wrong with you?”

“I’m dying, Mr. Waldburg. Just as you wished…”

Niamh’s voice drifted into Kendrick’s ears weakly and vaguely.

Kendrick was stunned for a few seconds. His heart felt as if it was being gnawed by a million ants.

She was dying. How could it be? How was it possible?

Stupefied, he looked at the woman who was still holding onto her last breath. He saw her reaching out her hand with difficulties to grab his collar. Her out of focus eyes stared into him. It was as if she was using her last energy to move her bloody lips.

“The child… is yours. I hope that after I die, you’ll give her a name and let her soul reside in the Waldburgs’ mausoleum. This is my final wish…”

After she said that, Niamh let go of her hand lifelessly on Kendrick’s collar and fell.

Kendrick stopped striding out of the front door. The debilitating pain overwhelmed his entire body and senses. His world was plunged into darkness…

“Niamh! Niamh!”

Ava’s heart-wrenching screams sounded next to him when he finally found his breathing and heartbeat.

“Kendrick, you scum! Give Niamh back to me!” She wailed, wanting to snatch away Niamh who was in Kendrick’s arms.

“If you won’t send her to the hospital, I will!”

“Get lost! Don’t touch her!”

Kendrick roared all of a sudden. He ran out and carried Niamh to the side of the road before calling a cab.

Ava was stuck in a daze for a few seconds before she ran after them.

Nevaeh and Eloise ran out hurriedly as well. They did not have time to stop Kendrick as they saw him already getting into a cab with Niamh.

Ava clenched her fists and gritted her teeth. She did not think much before chasing after them.

The light of the emergency room lit up while Kendrick was sitting on the chair in the waiting room quietly. He had no expression on his face.

Niamh’s warmth and scent were still lingering in his arms. However, his white shirt had been stained with the blood she vomited out. There was so much blood and it was such an unpleasant sight.

He closed his eyes, his brain occupied with what Niamh said before she closed her eyes.

“Kendrick Waldburg, you cold-blooded scum of the earth!”

Ava’s shrieks sounded in front of him. Kendrick slowly lifted his expressionless face. There was a horrifyingly ominous gaze in his eyes, and he looked as if he was going to devour someone whole at any time. However, Ava was not scared. She looked at Kendrick with tears in her eyes as she sobbed.

“Kendrick, it’s fine if you don’t love Niamh, but why do you have to torture her like this?

“What happened three years ago had nothing to do with her! She was framed! Why did you put all of the blame on her?

“Niamh followed you with no previous crimes, but you accused her of sleeping around with different men. You even denied the fact that she gave birth to your child so mercilessly! Do you know how cruel you are?

“If she didn’t love you… If she didn’t love you so much, why would she risk her life to protect that child? However, you don’t even care and even ground that child’s bones into dust! Are you even human?”

Ava yelled at him fearlessly, but Kendrick only stared at her without saying anything. However, his gaze became more and more sinister with every sentence Ava said.

He stood up with no expression on his face and stared at Ava.

When Ava thought Kendrick was going to say something to her, Nevaeh appeared and defended him.

“What nonsense are you spewing? Who are you to talk to my fiancé like that? Niamh knows what she has done and we know what she did as well. Do you think you can clear her name with just a few words? Do you think Kendrick will believe you?”

“You’re the one who needs to clear your name! It’s you, Nevaeh! You malicious and duplicitous two- faced b*tch!” Ava fought back without showing any weakness. Then, she scoffed and peered at Kendrick who was remaining silent. “Of course this scum of the earth won’t believe anything I say because he’s just a deaf and eyeless fool who doesn’t know right from wrong!”

“You…” Nevaeh was furious. She lifted her hand to slap Ava, but when her hand was in mid-air, she was stopped by Kendrick.

“Kendrick…” Nevaeh looked at the indifferent man with an aggrieved look on her face. “Kendrick, I won’t allow anyone to talk about you like this.”

She tried to curry favor with him, but Kendrick only ignored her. He let go of her hand and walked in front of Ava. His eyes were like bottomless abysses—dark and terrifying.

“Continue.”

Ava hesitated for a bit but continued to glare at him with tearful eyes. “Kendrick, you’ll regret this.”

There were only a few words in her sentence, yet it caused him to have difficulties breathing.

Kendrick’s heart was beating rapidly when the door of the emergency room opened. A nurse walked out. “Which one of you is the patient’s family?”

Kendrick rushed forward instantly, looking extremely worried. “I’m Niamh’s husband. How is she?”

The nurse looked at Kendrick with a dazed expression before sighing with regret. “The tumor in her body has taken a turn for the worst. She’s lost consciousness, but the doctors are still doing everything to bring her back. However, I hope you’ll be prepared because the rate of success is close to zero. This is the notice of critical illness. Please sign it.”

The nurse said, handing the notice of critical illness over.

The light piece of paper landed in Kendrick’s hand, but it felt like a heavy rock weighing down on him. The invisible pressure made him extremely uncomfortable.

Notice of critical illness…

Was she about to leave this earth and out of his sight?

He would not allow that!

“Kendrick, now that it has come to this, you should sign the notice and let Niamh go peacefully.” Nevaeh came forward and advised him, grabbing his arm.

However, Kendrick pushed her away and crumpled the notice of critical illness into a ball. His eyes were red. “What notice of critical illness? She’s always been fine. How can she be in critical condition all of a sudden? You have to save her. If anything happens to her, don’t think you’ll be able to run this hospital anymore!”

The nurse started trembling when she saw Kendrick’s terrifying expression. She turned around and ran back inside nervously.

After a while, a few experts walked their way and rushed into the operating theatre.

Kendrick sat in the chair with his head in his hands. His brows were knitted together tightly.

How was this possible?

Why was he so worried? Why was he so scared and so concerned about Niamh?

He was going crazy from this anxiousness that he had never felt before!

He wanted to know Niamh’s condition.

After his strong and determined demands, the doctors were left with no choice. They could only let him go in.

Kendrick had to change into personal protective equipment and sanitize his entire body before he was allowed into the operating theatre.

The moment he walked in, he was still imagining that this was just an act put on by Niamh and that she was actually fine. However, what he saw horrified and suffocated him.

He could only see Niamh’s face that was so pale with no color in it at all.

This was the first time he looked at Niamh’s face so seriously. Despite the glaring scars on her face, he still thought that she looked stunning and perfect.

It would be great if she would open her eyes and look at him now. Her eyes were the most beautiful part of her.

However, it was all his imagination. Niamh was not moving and her entire body was covered in tubes to maintain her body that was on the brink of death.
