Chapter 1364

The doctor said that all the necessary measures to treat Ryan had been done, but his will to survive was too weak.

Most people would be seeking survival, but he seemed to be seeking death.

However, it seemed that the only thing he could not let go of was her as he kept calling out her name.

“Perhaps you’re the only regret that he can’t let go of in his heart,” the nurse from just now said.

After listening quietly, Madeline walked to the bedside.

Ryan’s face was as pale as snow while his breathing was weak. Various tubes were inserted into his body to maintain his dying body.

The beeping sounds from the electrocardiogram sounded as if they would stop at any time.

Madeline approached him, and as soon as she walked to the bed, she heard Ryan calling out, “Eveline.”

Sure enough, he could not let go of her.

“Ryan,” Madeline called out to him. “I’m Eveline. I’m here.”

“Eveline…” Ryan continued to call out Madeline’s name unconsciously.

Madeline frowned slightly. “Ryan, I’m standing here. Can you feel me? Do you have something to tell me?”

Not long after Madeline’s voice fell, she heard Ryan chanting her name gently once more, “Eveline.”

He kept calling her name as if it was the only power that could keep his heart beating and maintain his breathing.

“Ryan, your parents want you to survive, so don’t give up on yourself.”

Madeline did not know if Ryan was aware or whether he could hear what she was saying. However, she heard him calling her again, and this time, he said two more words, “I’m sorry.”

He was apologizing again.

Madeline remembered what happened that night.

Before he collapsed, Ryan had also said sorry to her.

He was apologizing sincerely.

He thought of smoothening her edges and selfishly taking her, but he never intended to drive her to the point of being mentally insane.

“Ryan, if you really feel that you have done something wrong and want me to forgive you, then continue living and take responsibility for your mistakes.”

Madeline took a step forward to look at this haggard face. She felt a little remorseful and rueful in her heart.

Some scenes vaguely appeared in her mind. The memories of those days when Ryan would take care of her considerately and gave her encouragement when she thought Jeremy had left her were resurfacing from the whirlpools of her memory.

‘To be honest, you have treated me sincerely as well. You didn’t just use me.

‘It’s just that you were blinded by hatred and chose the wrong path.’

Madeline pondered for a few seconds before slowly stretching out her hand to Ryan’s cold one.

“Ryan, there’s something I’ve kept in my heart for a while. I’ll tell you what it is when you wake up, so don’t give up on yourself.”

After she said that, Madeline did not know if it was an illusion but Ryan’s eyelids seemed to twitch slightly.

Jeremy, Mr. Jones, and Mrs. Jones were waiting outside the ICU. Through the glass window in front of them, they could see Madeline standing by the bed talking to Ryan.

As for what they were saying, they had no idea.

More than ten minutes had passed. Mr. and Mrs. Jones were still waiting anxiously.

Jeremy looked at Madeline calmly. She was occupying his vision and heart.

Coincidentally, at this second, there seemed to be a stir in the ICU. The doctors and nurses suddenly hurried to Ryan’s bed while Madeline stepped aside.

Mr. and Mrs. Jones panicked as they pawed at the glass window. “What’s wrong? What’s the matter?”

Jeremy was also a little curious, but he cared more about Madeline who exited the room after turning around.

Jeremy walked over and waited for the door to open.

As soon as the door opened, Mr. and Mrs. Jones rushed toward Madeline. “Eveline, how’s Rye? Why are the doctors in such a hurry? Tell us!”
