Chapter 419 Guilt-tripping
Finished
But Nella didn’t reply, and she didn’t delete Wesley either. She just left him in her contacts, treating him like a stranger she’d never known.
Since the day she found out Alfred had been in a coma, Nella had gone to the hospital to see him a few times.
Because he had been trapped under that huge stone for so long, he developed crush syndrome.
Large areas of muscle tissue in Alfred’s back were destroyed, causing a serious wound infection.
Even though they had given him emergency care during the rescue, the damage to his body was still very
severe.
During this time, the doctors ran many evaluations and performed several major surgeries.
“Nella,” Camelia’s voice came from behind her.
Nella turned around and saw her walk slowly up to her. Her eyes fell on the man lying completely still in the ICU bed.
Her face was full of sorrow and worry, no longer the lively expression Nella remembered.
Camelia’s voice choked as she spoke, “I never thought Alfred would one day be lying like this.
“If I had known, I wouldn’t have kept making him upset.”
Nella’s eyes turned red as well.
She spoke softly, “I’m sorry. If he hadn’t tried to save me…”

Hearing this, Camelia quickly waved her hand. “No, Nella, it’s not your fault. You never expected an earthquake to happen, and besides…”
She paused, looking at Alfred.
“This was his choice. Even though he’s lying here now, I’m sure he’s happy he was able to save you this
time.”
She looked back at Nella, hesitated, and then finally said, “Even though… I used to say bad things about him because of Zoey and how that awful girl treated you… but, Nella…”
She held Nella’s arm tightly, tears rolling down her cheeks.
Camelia continued, “Think of it as guilt-tripping me if you want. But for the sake of him risking his life to save you, if he wakes up, can you give him another chance?”
After saying that, she didn’t dare look Nella in the eyes.
She knew that guilt-tripping Nella like this was wrong, but selfishly, she couldn’t help feeling for her brother.

Nella didn’t answer. She just quietly stared at the man in the hospital bed, unsure when he might wake She remembered what she had said to Alfred back when they were buried under the rubble.
If we make it out alive, I’ll give you another chance.
At that moment, her only thought was that Alfred had to stay awake. He couldn’t pass out.
That’s why she had said those words.
But thinking back now, was it really just to keep Alfred awake that she said them?
Her heart felt like two voices were fighting inside her.
