Chapter 189 I Can Feel Pain Too
Nathael was stunned for a few seconds, then lifted his gaze to meet her reddened eyes and the tears swirling within them.
While seeing her gaze fixated on his arms, Nathael’s heart sank.
She had found out….
He walked up to her, enveloping her in his arms, and whispered, “It’s not as serious as it looks, just a bit frightening to sec
Maggie broke free, looking up at him coldly. “If I hadn’t found out, how long did you plan to hide it?”
Nathael pursed his thin lips, remaining silent. There was a rare hint of nervousness in his eyes.
The romantic atmosphere in the room evaporated instantly. Maggie even dared not to look at his arms again. She stared at him coldly and asked, “You couldn’t be reached for a few days, and you returned late. Is it because you were injured?”
Nathael didn’t deny it further. He held her hand tightly and whispered, “It’s nothing serious.
He was afraid it might delay her return to the competition.
After all, he wasn’t sure how long it would take him to recover.
He was afraid she might cry, yet she might not care. He feared she might want to stay, yet she might not.
Maggie’s eyes were red, and hearing his words made her feel even more uncomfortable, a stifling anger rising within her.
“Yes, indeed, but such a trivial injury wouldn’t be a big deal in your eyes, would it? Even if your arm were broken, I bet you wouldn’t even blink an eye!”
With that, Maggie broke free from his grasp and turned to leave,
At that moment, the tears welling in her eyes also betrayed her and fell, and Maggie felt intense heartache.
Before her eyes, she couldn’t help but recall the scene from her past life when he lost an arm.
He indeed didn’t cry, despite being covered in bloodstains all over his body.
Until he struggled to crawl towards her shattered body, she watched him in a daze for a long time, a tear rolling down her cheek mingled with blood.
Later, he lost consciousness as well.
And when he woke up again, his left arm had been amputated. He didn’t shed a tear, staring silently at the space where his arm used to be for a long time.
It seemed that he accepted it calmly in just one night.
However, he became even more silent than before. Most of the time, he would stay alone in their former room, staring blankly at her photos.
Chapter 189 I Can Feel Pain Too
Thinking about all this, Maggie felt a suffocating pain in her chest, almost unable to breathe.
“Nana!” Nathael caught up to her, grasping her wrist.
“Let go of me!” Maggie exclaimed angrily. But as she lifted her head, Nathael froze in place.
Tears streaked down her lovely face, her eyes red like an angry rabbit’s. Her long lashes, wet with tears, chumped together, resembling blossoming sunflowers.
“Let go!”
Maggie struggled to speak, but this time, Nathael showed no intention of letting go. Instead, he held her tightly in his arms.
Maggie couldn’t break free, so she fiercely bit down on his shoulder.
Nathael lowered his gaze, remaining motionless. His injured arm, like an iron barrel, firmly encircled her, showing no intention of letting go.
He was already shirtless, and in no time, a strong smell of blood filled Maggie’s mouth.
Perhaps it was the release of the pent–up frustration. Maggie gradually gave up struggling and nestled in his arms, crying louder and louder.
Tears fell onto his chest, and Nathael’s Adam’s apple bobbed slightly. He felt a painful ache in his heart as if it were burning.
He raised his hand to stroke her hair gently and whispered, “Don’t cry.
“Nathael, you don’t understand at all!” Maggie choked out, her vision blurred by tears, making it hard to see the person in front of her clearly.
Nathael remained silent, watching her intently.
