Chapter 1494
She had almost never uttered these two words to anyone, but this time, she could not help but to do so, as she had truly disregarded his feelings. Seeing her bow her head as she admitted to her wrongdoings, Jared felt heavy in his heart.
With considerable effort, he held her in his arms and said, "I don't want your apology. I want you to take good care of yourself. If you were in my position, would you allow yourself to lose me?"
Nicole immediately thought of the critical injuries that he had sustained for her. Indeed, all she could feel when he was in a coma was a deep, crippling heartache.
"If I have to lose you, you might as well just stab me and let me die," Jared said, his words brimming with a measure of sincerity and gentleness that made Nicole's heart quiver.
It was only then that Nicole knew how important she was to Jared, and how painful it would be for him to lose her.
"Remember this. The day you die, I will not be able to live on alone. I will never let go of you, even if it means following you to hell and back," Jared said.
Looking out the window, he did not allow her to look into his eyes and see how serious he truly was. His words were akin to that of an oath. It reverberated across the room, with each word etching itself into Nicole's heart. Hearing this, she could not help but raise her arms to hug Jared as her heart quivered.
"The same goes to me. In that case, let US promise that if you die first, I will definitely not let you go alone," Nicole answered.
It was then that questions began to arise. Why would she not be the same when she had lost him? Why would she also love him to the point of not being able to let go, even in death?
Jared never thought that she would actually make this pact with him, that he was actually so important to her.
"Why would I die, silly girl?" Jared said as he let go of her head.
Then, he gazed into her eyes and said, “You haven't married me yet. How could I allow myself to die?"
