Rift in the perfect picture

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.

Back then, I loved to curl myself up in his embrace while he was asleep and listen to the sound of his steady breaths. It would always make me feel calm and secure.

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?

I subconsciously placed my hand in his. But within seconds, my hand had become much warmer than his

In those few seconds, a ton of thoughts rushed past my brain. Each second felt much more insufferable than when I heard about Nicholas and Jasmine’s relationship through the phone.

Nicholas held my trembling hands, and I felt a small surge of strength flow through me. “Do you hate me that much?”

I watched him in silence. He coughed and more blood gushed out. His grip on my hand also began to weaken He had always been the stronger one, but now, it felt like I could knock him over with one hand.

“Nicholas?” I whispered. I came to my senses and immediately pounded on the partition that separated us from the driver 1 pounded it hard and shouted, “Head to the hospital immediately!

I had been pounding the partition until my hand hurt when suddenly remembered that the driver would not be able to hear me!

Reaching up, I pressed on the intercom and said, “Go to the hospital now! Nicholas‘ wounds have reopened!”

The driver had begun speaking on Nicholas‘ behalf, “Mrs. Hawk, the doctor forbade Mr. Hawk from leaving the hospital, but Mr. Hawk had insisted-”

“I got it!” I shouted out. “He’s lost too much blood. Nicholas has an AB blood type. Tell the hospital to prepare for a blood transfusion!”

My voice was slightly shaking. “Nicholas, hold on a little longer!”

I found the bandage and used it to put some pressure on his wounds. Nicholas came to his senses and moaned in pain. He shot me a comforting look and said, “I’m fine, so you can be gentle.”

Tears began pooling in my eyes. My voice was slightly hoarse as I said, “Being gentle won’t stop the blood from flowing out. Just bear with it a little longer.”

My vision quickly became blurred, and the only thing I could feel was the bandage in my hand slowly turning wet.

Suddenly, there was a cold hand on my jaw. Then, he used all of his strength to pull my body toward him and kissed me with his cold lips.

The kiss was forceful as he said, “I told you. I’ll never divorce you in this life!”
