Chapter 1457 Heart Donation

Three years, one heart—a deep relationship that could never be described by words.

Tears welled up in Nina’s eyes.

Much to her surprise, her lover, whom she thought left her for someone else, the man who she hated, blamed, and cursed, was willing to donate his heart out of love.

A wave of mixed feelings overtook Nina. It was hard to describe what she was feeling, but tears could be seen streaming down her cheeks.

Stephen’s heart tightened at the sight of her misery.

“Looking at you crying, his heart is aching.” He lowered his head and glanced at his chest while speaking softly to Nina.

Nina turned around and looked at his chest. She then braced herself and inched closer to him. “I want to listen to his heartbeat.”

“All right,” Stephen replied.

As Nina leaned against his chest, he didn’t know what to do. Should I give her a hug?

However, he quickly brushed off the thought. She wants to be with Chris, not me. Forget about it!

Melanie, who was outside, peeped and saw everything through the door gap. She was puzzled with how things panned out.

Now that Nina knows about the operation and also Chris’ death, shouldn’t she react a little more dramatically? Why is she getting close to Stephen instead?

“I heard his heartbeat. I think he’s still with us. He always will be.”

That’s right. He’s always here! His heart has always been worried about you.

Melanie’s expression fell. Is it because of Chris’ heart?

Now it belongs to Stephen!

Chris is dead! The heart belongs to Stephen now!

Don’t tell me that Nina will form a closer bond with Stephen just because of the heart?

She stared at them without even blinking once. She then noticed that Stephen’s hands were somewhat awkward, and he seemed to be too shy to hug Nina.

Their intimate interaction was like a needle piercing through her heart.

Melanie balled her fist and decided without hesitation. I must think of a way to separate them!

Nina calmed herself down and wiped away her tears. “I’m sorry. I’m fine now. You may leave.”

Stephen stared at Nina, who had her back faced against him. He couldn’t help but feel his heart sinking.

“I’ve promised Chris to take care of you for three years. You can ask me to do anything, and I will try my best to fulfill your wishes. Treat that as my way of honoring my promise.”

Nina kept silent. She understood very clearly that Stephen was not Chris, even if he had Chris’ heart. Besides, he had to go on with his own life.

“That’s not necessary. You can leave.”

Stephen was stunned for a moment. Shortly after, he turned away and left.

Not long after Stephen left, Melanie walked into the room suddenly.

“Ms. Nina, what’s going on?”

“Nothing.” Nina’s eyes were bloodshot. She lowered her gaze and dared not look up.

Melanie clenched her fist. “Just now, Stephen told me about Chris donating his heart to him. He’s afraid that you cannot take the news and asked me to console you. Ms. Nina, my condolences for your loss.”

“I’m okay,” Nina simply replied.

“That’s good to hear. Actually, what Chris did was solid proof of his love toward you. It’s such a beautiful thing and really admirable! By the way, I heard that he was holding onto your photo tightly before the operation. He must have missed you a lot. If you want to have a chat with him, you can visit his grave.”

Melanie then deliberately paused her speech and added, “I’m so sorry. I’ve spoken too much! You’re not supposed to know this.”

Well, I’ve said what I wanted to say. Worried that Stephen was not able to find her, Melanie casually consoled Nina a little more before leaving.

Nina was dumbfounded. The next second, images of Chris on the operation table holding onto her photo kept flashing before her eyes. Suddenly, she had the urge to know where his grave was, as she longed to visit him.
