Burned Once, Never Again (Niamh and Castiel)

Niamh's hatred struck Castiel's heart.

Yet, in the next moment, his attitude remained firm. "It's not that you'll never see again. It's only temporary. Macy needs surgery now, and I'll find suitable corneas for you as soon as possible-" Before he could finish, Niamh cut him off with a sharp slap.

Temporary? What exactly does "temporary" mean?

Niamh gave Castiel one last look, then turned and opened the ward door. Her tone was icy as she said, "My corneas are not for her, and you have no right to them either!" With that, she walked away, ignoring Castiel, who gave off a chilling air.

In the end, Castiel did say it. Niamh had already given up any illusions about him and completely lost hope. Yet, at this moment, she still couldn't help but feel pain. Ten years... Ten years of shared feelings...

What could possibly make him decide to do this to her for another woman? What's the reason behind this?

Niamh kept asking herself but couldn't find an answer. Since Castiel wouldn't tell her, she had no idea.

Niamh didn't even know how she had gotten out of the hospital.

In the car, Billie's name flashed on her phone. It seemed hectic on the other end, and only after a while did things settle down. Billie's tone was off when she said, "Niamh." "Billie, are you okay?" She thought about what Castiel had said on the phone, and her heart tightened with worry.

She always knew what kind of man Castiel was and understood that if he got angry, it would be like this. He had eventually taken action against Billie.

"I'm on my way home. Are you at home?" Billie asked.

"I... I'll be home soon!" Niamh replied.

"Okay, I've bought some groceries and will cook something nice for you," Billie said.

From Billie's words, Niamh also knew Castiel would do what he said. If things had gone as expected, she had probably been fired. He was so ruthless! Needless to say, if he was this ruthless with her, he would be even less merciful with those around. her.

After ending the call with Billie, Niamh stared out the window, her hatred evident in her eyes. Her once stunning face was now completely pale. Eventually, she called Simon, who was overseas. He answered quickly, "Niamh!"

"Uncle Simon, I need a lawyer," Niamh said.

"Isn't there anyone in Greenburg who can help with this case?"

"There is, but Castiel..." Niamh didn't finish her sentence, but Simon, being experienced, understood the situation.

"Alright, I'll have Cedric Fleming fly over today."

"Okay."

Now that Billie couldn't handle her own matters anymore, Niamh knew that if Billie couldn't continue helping her, no one else would be willing to take on her case.

After all, no one in Greenburg wanted to offend the Jamison family.

When she arrived at the apartment, Niamh heard the sound of running water from the kitchen. She hadn't expected Billie to act so quickly. After changing her shoes, she walked over and saw Billie standing by the sink.

The sink was full of water, and Billie stood there in a daze, unmoving. Niamh approached and turned off the faucet.Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

Seeing her, Billie forced a smile. "You're back? Go change clothes, and dinner will be ready soon. Though Billie said dinner would be ready soon, the meal preparation hadn't even started yet. Niamh looked at Billie's clothes and noticed the cardboard box on the dining table that she had glimpsed when she walked in. It was clear that Billie was the one who brought it back.

She looked apologetic as she said, "I'm sorry. I've caused you trouble."

"You already know?" Billie asked.

"Yes."

"Did he threaten you?" Billed asked again.

Niamh remained silent. It was more than just a threat. Their relationship had reached an irreparable point.
