My Love for You Broke Me

Chapter 248

Chapter 248

Chapter 248

Two years ago, I left Nicholas' world without a word, which was a fatal blow to him.

May had exaggerated his sadness and grief when she told me about it, and it was because she saw his desperation that she favored him again and again.

Good thing I know this time.

The humbleness that permeated the statement weighed like a thousand pounds.

Indeed, it was humbleness; there was no doubt about it.

At this time, Nicholas treated me with endless humility, just like I used to treat him. It was heartbreaking.

I didn't want to see such a Nicholas.

So, I closed my eyes to stop looking at him and sent him away. "Thanks for the ride to the hospital. Go away; I want to get some sleep."

However, he called out to me carefully. "Ree."

I snapped my eyes open and said, "Don't you do that!"

"Ree…"

I sat up and begged, "Don't call me that. Don't use that tone or gesture, and don't annoy me!"

In the end, Nicholas lowered his eyes and left the ward in silence.

I suddenly felt like I was being cruel to him like that.

The pain in my body eased for a long time. Then, I stared blankly at the infusion syringe for a while before calling out to Anthony, who was guarding the entrance.

When he came in, I asked him, "How is my health?"

Anthony knew that I had roughly guessed my health condition, so he said truthfully, "Your health is not optimistic at present."

I sighed and asked, "What did the doctor say?"

"Your condition is starting to deteriorate, so it's important to take the medication on time as well as cooperate with the doctor so it can be kept in check," he answered.

Suppressing the fear in my heart, I asked, "How long have I left?"

How long can I live if the condition is suppressed?

"Miss, the doctor can't predict this."

At that, I closed my eyes and ordered with a heavy heart, "Keep this a secret. If anyone other than Nicholas knows about it, you will be punished."

I believed Nicholas would keep it a secret for me.

"Yes, Miss."

Anthony obliged, then asked, "Are we still going to Ireland tomorrow?"

"Yes," I said with certainty. "This matter should not be delayed any longer."

In any case, WT should be defeated soon.

I spent the day in the hospital, where I underwent various tests, none of which came back promising. Thankfully, the results were not too bad.

At least I had more hope of staying alive than I did two years ago.

My body was still weak when I had to leave the next day. I wrapped myself in a thick black down jacket and sat next to Joshua in the helicopter. Then, he supported my body for thirteen hours.

It was a long journey to reach Ireland and in that time zone, it was 4.00AM when we reached. The sky made the lifeless street even darker. The temperature was low as it was snowing, and I still felt cold even though I was huddled in my down jacket.

Joshua sensed my condition, so he took a black coat to put on me. "Miss, just bear with it for a little longer."

I nodded as I mumbled, "I'm alright."

It's just cold. I can hold on.

"Okay, I will turn on the GPS right away."

The employee had turned on the GPS, but the indicator kept wandering north and couldn't pinpoint Shawn's exact location.

Anthony contacted the local organization forces. They used the elimination method to rank out several uncertain points. There were five left, which would take at least two days to map out.

However, those five points were all in the north.

As such, I instructed, "Let's head north first."

At 5.00AM, we were in the center of five points when I got Kevin's call.

It was only after accepting his call that I remembered Colin had called me on Christmas Eve. If I called again and he answered, our location system would be able to find out his whereabouts instantly.

Why did I only think of this now? I'm so stupid!

I asked Kevin gently, "Kev, what's the matter?"

"Ray, Sunny has disappeared for a month."

Frowning, I asked, "What do you mean?"

"He never returned to Espoo nor contacted us. It's like he suddenly abandoned everything and disappeared from this world!"

I guessed that Shawn was still at WT.

From Kevin's tone, he didn't know that Shawn and I had parted.

However, why did he tell me only after a month of Shawn's disappearance? Also, why did Shawn stay in WT all this time?

Colin said that was Shawn's territory.

I believed that.

In that case, why was Shawn not in contact with Kevin?

To disappear for a month was not like Shawn.

A twinge of unease rose in my heart, so I asked Kevin in confusion, "Why are you telling me this now?"

At that, Kevin said in a particularly helpless tone, "I've been calling you for a while but couldn't get through. Not only did he disappear, but you also did the same! I don't even know what happened to you guys!"

I had been unconscious earlier and just woke up a few days ago. All these times, I hadn't bothered to go through my call history because there were hundreds of missed calls. I wouldn't even know who was calling!

"I'm sorry. I didn't pay attention to my phone a while ago."

Kevin was worried about Shawn, so he asked me about Shawn's whereabouts. I told him frankly, "Shawn and I have not been in touch. We… We broke up."

When Kevin heard that, he repeated in dismay, "Broke up?"

"Yes, Shawn was the one who brought it up."

At that, Kevin hurriedly said, "Sunny would never break up with you! He must have some troubles. Ray, don't cause him to misunderstand!"

I hummed and said, "I have to end the call now."

I hung up on Kevin, hurriedly clicked into my call history, and scrolled down to see that Kevin had called me a dozen times, but all of them were when I was unconscious. It just so happened that he hadn't contacted me in the last few days I'd been awake.

It took me half a day to find the international number. After letting Anthony get ready, I dialed the number.

"Why are you calling me?"

I can't believe that Colin accepted the call!

I kept my calm and asked, "Where is Shawn?"

"Why? Do you miss your man?"

After Anthony gave me the okay sign, I hung up on Colin. "Have you found out the location?"

…

On the other hand, a confused Colin looked at the phone call that was disconnected. He then asked the man, who was reading a book beside him, "What does she mean by that?"

What does she mean?

Shawn understood that she had already acted.

She's smart enough to use Colin in turn.

Shawn put down the book—The Watcher in the Paddy Field—and stood up to look at the dark sky outside. "The wind is blowing," he murmured faintly.

Colin put his phone away and asked, "What's up with the wind?"

Shawn ignored him, so Colin went over to him and asked, "Did you stay up at midnight reading a book here because you knew your woman was going to call you? What does she mean by that? She hung

up without saying anything and it made me confused!"

Shawn squinted at Colin, and the gaze gave Colin an indescribable feeling as if Shawn was looking at a dead man.

Indeed, Shawn looked at Colin as if Colin was a dead man.
