When it was just Nana and John in the ward, she reached out with the intention of taking John’s hand into hers.
However, he stayed three feet away from her and firmly out of grasp.
He gulped, his body instinctively rejecting Nana and his hands unwittingly clenching into knuckles.
Nana stared at him in surprise. “Lucas…?”
Even if he never got close to her on his own before, he wouldn’t reject her touch either.
Now, however, nØvelxo she found him to be a stranger more than ever before as he stood before her.
Even now, he looked at her as if he didn’t recognize her.
“Lucas?” Nana’s tears sprang out again, and the heart rate monitor attached to her beeped irregularly in warning as her emotions ran high.
Nonetheless, novelx.o John eventually walked up to her and took her hand. Nana’s emotions calmed immediately, her heart rate turning stable in turn.
She sobbed in joy, “You’re alive, Lucas… I was so scared I won’t ever see you again. I can’t live without you.”
Her words were earnest, novelxo but John never reacted at all.
“What’s wrong?” she asked, sharp as ever and noticing that he was acting strange.
He was never this cold to her-even when he asked to break up with her, saying he didn’ love her anymore.
She just had to play up her frailty, and he would be overwhelmed.
However, he was now as distant as a stranger even though she almost died trying to save him.
Why would he act this way? Shouldn’t he be more emotional?
No!
She refused to let him leave, and held on tighter to him.
John felt the firmness in her grasp, but ultimately stayed silent.
“Aren’t you going to ask me how I’m doing?” Nana asked, trying to find something to talk about.
“How are you doing?” John asked in turn, his voice hoarse.
That wasn’t it either… Even his tone was the way one would speak to a stranger.
“The doctor said that although my heart wasn’t hurt, I still bled too much and the toll burdened my heart anyway. I was told to stay in the hospital until I made a full recovery and ensured that there were no issues with my heart,” Nana said. “It might delay our wedding.”
There was slight relief in John’s eyes as he watched her, but she pretended not to see it and continued, novëlxo But I said no.”
John narrowed his eyes, but Nana simply smiled. “I know my own body, and I know we can have the wedding as scheduled a week later. Marrying you is more important than my life.”novelbin
John swallowed-he was choking with so many words, but he simply couldn’t say any.
“You’re marrying me, right?” Nana asked naively. “You won’t abandon me, seeing that I’ve put my life on the line to save you?”
It was emotional blackmail, and Nana knew she was acting thoroughly despicable.
However, she wouldn’t hesitate when the other option was to lose him.
Even so, John didn’t reply to her and remained silent for a long time.
In truth, he was no angel himself.
He rarely allowed himself to give in to threats, let alone emotional blackmail.
But seeing that her heart rate was clearly turning irregular again, he knew very well that she would kill herself novëlxo right in front of him if he rejected her right now.
