Chapter 0174
I was slightly stunned as I did not expect t olas to say that to me.
As I listened to the sound of his breathing, I gradually calmed down. It seemed like the news that made me feel like my world was coming to an end seemed small in his eyes.
A relationship was between two people, but why was I the only one. worrying over it? I forced a smile on my face and began to put on Nicholas‘ jacket. “Why were you looking for me?”
I turned my head and looked out the window, unable to look at Nicholas and the bloodstains around his waist any longer.
“Find a place to drop me off. You should go back to the hospital and tend to your wounds. We’ll get a divorce once you’re feeling much better.”
I had managed to keep my composure! I felt proud of myself for maintaining the image of a modern independent woman. He should be glad I did not plan on demanding an explanation about Jasmine.
I was so proud of myself that I even felt that I was living freely. I tried my smile to hide the tears, all while telling myself repeatedly that I wasn’t sad. Nicholas didn’t answer me as no one admired my performance.
There seemed to be an invisible barrier between us. Other than the heavy breathing coming from Nicholas, there weren’t any sounds coming from inside of the car.

But now, I only felt suffocated. It felt like there was something trapped in my chest, begging me to free it
“There are some bandages in the first aid kit. Could you help me put some pressure on my wounds?”
Nicholas suddenly placed his hand on my thigh. His hand was ice- cold, causing goosebumps to rise all over my body.
I jumped up in fright and turned around to look at him. He remained sitting quietly in his chair, but his gaze was slowly becoming unfocused when he looked at me. The rise of his chest had also
become weaker with each breath.
There was so much blood on his shirt that it looked like I could wring out a pool of blood.
Nicholas smiled gently and used his fingers to gently scratch my thigh. “Do you want to watch me die and inherit all of my fortune?
