Don't Try to Escape, My Wife! novel Chapter 771

"Nicole, I don't have much time left."

Maia said in an extremely sad voice.

Nicole nodded without interrupting her. She didn't say anything and Maia got a little embarrassed.

"I know you must have hated my guts and think I'm a bad person. I've got what I deserved. Don't be angry with me anymore, okay?"

Maia looked pitifully at Nicole.

Nicole whispered, "I'm not angry with you. In fact, I was disappointed with your dishonesty when I took you as my friend. So I told myself not to let a stranger get to me. I really don't care about what you say or do right now."

Maia became more upset after hearing Nicole's remarks.

"Nicole, it's my fault cheating you and destroying our friendship. But I can't help it. Ever since my parents left and my younger brother fell ill, I've failed to control my life. All I can do is to protect you as much as I can. It's the greatest concession I have ever made."

Maia said sadly.

It seemed that she felt a little aggrieved.

Nicole looked at her and couldn't help but think of Martha's comments.

"You didn't kidnap my aunt, did you? You went to the sanatorium to save her. Are you afraid that Tim will be sad if his mother is injured?"

Nicole asked Maia to make sure if her guess was right.

Maia was slightly shocked at her words.

"Your aunt?"

"My fault. I forgot to tell you that Tim's mother is my aunt, who is my closest family. As for Tim, he is my cousin. I found out about it not long ago."

Maia was surprised at Nicole's words and looked at her and Tim in disbelief.

"You are cousins?"

"Yes!"

Tim nodded.

Maia found it ludicrous.

What did she do?

She viewed Nicole as her love rival, but it turned out that Nicole was Tim's cousin. What was wrong with her?

"Do you think ridiculous?"

"No. On the contrary, I like how you love Tim. If you hadn't loved him so much, I wouldn't have let you off easily. You'd better be grateful for having sincere affection for Tim in your lifetime."

What Nicole said wrung Maia's heart.

"How outspoken you are!"

"Do I need to put it mildly? I don't think so. I'm principled. Since you protected my aunt from other disasters for Tim, I appreciate you. Even if you need money, I can help you. You don't have to worry about anything else."

Maia felt miserable at Nicole's words. She had been thinking Nicole was approachable. To her surprise, Nicole was a good satirist while becoming serious.

Maia shook her head with a bitter smile and said, "I had a selfish consideration when saving Tim's mother. I wanted to leave a good impression on her and wished her to give consent to our marriage."

Although Nicole had known it, she got irritated.

"You did not ask me here to listen to your confession, right? Maia, I'm not Tim, who views highly of feelings. That's probably why you kept deceiving him. To put it bluntly, when I found out that you are from the Harper Town, I told Tim there might be something behind your uterus being injured when you protected him. But do you know what Tim said? He said that you possibly had no alternative since you did so at the risk of being infertile. According to him, you are not bad by nature. He was willing to take care of you. Moreover, he tried to love you and thought of marrying you. Maia, how could you deceive and hurt him?"

Actually, Nicole got angry with Maia for cheating on Tim.

How could Maia play tricks on the one she loved?

She and Tim should have owned pure love, why did she ruin it?

Maia looked at Tim in shock and asked in a trembling voice, "Is that true?"

"Is there any point in saying this now?"

Obviously, Tim did not want to talk about that.

Maia's eyes dimmed as she was gradually no longer excited. At last, her face paled.

She smiled bitterly and said, "You are right. It's too late. I'm dying. Even if I'm regretful, I have no chance to make up my mistake. Tim, we are doomed to be apart in this lifetime."

Nicole couldn't help but be a little furious at her remarks.

"Maia, whatever you did to me, I can forgive you. But I can't forgive you for cheating on Tim. He is true to you. He's my cousin and friend. I asked you to go on a business trip with him because I wanted to fix you two up, but what happened? It's my fault believing you. You probably were in trouble and couldn't help it, but you shouldn't hurt and deceive others under the excuse of it. Even if you're dying, I won't forgive you, and I have no intention of it. However, as I said, I appreciate you for saving my aunt, so I can agree to one of your requests. Perhaps that's why you came to me."

Maia felt bitter.

"Nicole, I didn't know you are this straightforward. Since I'm going to die, can't you show mercy to me?"
