I silently clenched my fist and lowered my eyes.
No, he wouldnât die.
Time passed by gradually. I didnât know how long Iâve been standing in the operating room.
It could be two hours, three hours, or more...
During this period, Victor once came to me and advised me to rest.
I shook my head and silently refused him.
Victor left.
I was still alohe in the emergency room.
Several hours passed in a daze.
Finally, the black wolf on the bed changed.
There was still a silver light.
But after the silver light, the black wolf turned into a handsome man.
The man suddenly opened his eyes, as if he had just escaped from drowning and breathed oxygen again.
However, there was no focal length in those black pupils.
After a while, Nathanâs black pupils gradually became lighter, transforming into the familiar amber color.
Nathan closed his eyes again.
At the same time, the alarm sound of the monitor finally stopped, and the electrocardiogram began to fluctuate again.
I knew, Nathan finally made it through.
I breathed a sigh of relief, finally feeling the numbness and soreness in my legs.
I leaned down close to Nathanâs mouth and nose. After sensing his steady breathing, sourness surged into my heart.
I stood up straight and looked at Nathanâs sleeping face.
After a long time, I let out a soft sigh.
âOkay.â
I didnât even notice that I was smiling.
It was not that kind of mocking smile, nor was it a disguised smile.
But rather a heartfelt, relieved smile.
âSince you saved my life, I forgive you for being a jerk. You have caused met countless pains. Now it is paid off.â
I didnât wait for him to wake up and left the operating room..
Chapter sa There was not only Victor at the entrance of the operating room, but also several doctors who assisted me in the surgery before At this moment, those doctors were looking at me anxiously I knew what they were worried about So before they asked, I calmly said, âAlpha Nathan is out of dangerâ
Upon hearing this news, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
âI knew that with Healerâs help, there is no patient who cannot be savedâ
The speaker was the doctor who previously defended me As soon as he finished speaking, the other doctors all showed a look of shame, with their eyebrows and eyes drooping âHealer, Iâm sorry. I shouldnât have doubted you,â One of the doctors stood up and said to me.
The others all agreed.
âI didnât mean to blame you,â I said in a deep voice under the surprised gaze of everyone.
In that situation, Nathan was on the brink of death. It seemed normal that these doctors were worried about the imminent risks and spoke recklessly.
Moreover, Nathan himself was injured because he saved me..
These doctors were willing to assist me, and I should be grateful to them.
I paused and continued, âIn fact, the success of this surgery is not solely because of me. Each of you has played a role. So...
wait to receive your reward then.â
Everyone was stunned.
A few seconds later, they cheered happily.
I smiled and silently walked towards the dressing room.
When I came out, I saw Victor sitting on the bench at the door.
It was obvious that he was waiting for me.
I sat next to him.
âIn the garage, thank you for coming to save me.â I bumped into his shoulder.
Victor shook his head.
âI didnât help much either.â
âHow could it be? If it werenât for you, I might have died early.â
â...â Victor fell silent.
After a moment, Victorâs slightly hoarse voice rang in my ear.
âHut in the end, it was Nathan who saved you from the stagger,â Victor chuckled. âI realized that every time... every time in front of you, I was almost there.â
I didnât understand what Victor meant.
Victorâs voice continued.
âDo you remember the first time you met Nathan three years ago?â he asked, without waiting for me to answer, and then recalled, âThat day, you came to me excitedly and told me that you found your mate. You fell in love with him at first. sight. But what you didnât know was that at that time, I prepared a grand ceremony to confess to you â
I looked at Victor in surprise.
He didnât show much expression, just calmly said, âAt that time, I knew I didnât have a chance. Because your love for Nathan was so obvious and passionate in your eyes, like a never ending fire that burned all my courage. You gave up everything and chose Nathan. I thought this was our ending. At first, I wasnât willing to give up. Why wasnât it me who got you? But later, I thought that if you were really happy, it would be nice either. But but two years later, you were back with exhaustion and pain all over you. You said you rejected Nathan! Perhaps you may think I am despicable, but when I learned about this, my first reaction was excitement. Because I thought it was the second chance that Moon Goddess gave me. I was thinking that maybe we would have a better ending.â
âBut the fact proves that no matter what Nathan did to you and how much you hate. him, the way you look at him will always be different... You may not even know that the moment Nathan tell, the whole world in your eyes seemed to collapse.â
I clenched my list.
âI have to admit one thing,â Victor said again. âThat bastard is indeed more powerful than me, more able to protect you than I...
but...â
Victorâs voice suddenly became serious, âBut even so, Diana, I still donât approve of you being with him. Itâs not because I like you, But... heâs not worth it, you know?â
I lowered my head and remained silent.
Victor sighed.
âForget it, I know you have your own ideas. So Diana...â Victor looked at me again, his gaze focused and serious. âDo I really have no chance at all?â
âIâm sorry,â I whispered.
Victor blinked his eyes.
A few seconds later, he rubbed my hair.
âThereâs nothing to sorry for. Donât feel guilty because you couldnât respond to my feelings. After all, we grew up together. We are the best friends, right? Isnât it common to help my friends?â
âVictor...â
My throat seemed to be blocked by something and I couldnât speak.
Victor stood up from the bench as if nothing had happened.
âBeing friends is also good,â he said.
Victor left.
I stared at his back for a long time.
It wasnât until he gradually disappeared in the white light at the end of the corridor that I withdrew my gaze.
Standing up from the bench, I walked in the opposite direction to Victor.
When passing by a single VIP ward, I stopped, Through the window on the door, I saw Nathan sleeping on the hospital bed.
His face was pale and weak, vastly different from his usual dignified demeanor, as if anyone could easily end his life.
It was a little... pitiful, to the extent that I felt heartbroken.
After realizing this, I withdrew my gaze in embarrassment.
I suddenly realized that Victor was not wrong.
I was still attracted to Nathan.
The moment Nathan collapsed in front of me, the moment I saw blood swirling under him, the thing that sprouted and grew in my body was nothing else. It was the love I deliberately suppressed for Nathan but still existed.
But even so, could Nathan and I be together again without any grudges?
The answer was obviously negative.
The past has happened. Even if I chose to forgive him, the scars already existed and could not be erased.
I didnât take another look at Nathan and left as if fleeing.
After returning to the office, I closed the door when suddenly my eyes turned black and I almost fainted.
I held onto the doorknob and stood still, feeling a huge sense of exhaustion.
In the battle in the garage, I was actually injured as well.
But because I had to perform a surgery on Nathan, I managed to get through it.
Although my wolf promptly treated me, the prolonged mental strain still made it difficult for me to sustain I lay on the sofa and soon fell into a coma.
When I woke up again, it was already evening.
The office was dark with no lights on.
I moved and found a blanket on my body.
I thought Ryley had come in before and instinctively called his name.
However, in the darkness, another manâs voice rang out.
âWho are you calling?â
I suddenly opened my eyes wide and woke up completely. A tall figure appeared above me.
A tall figure appeared above me.
A cold moonlight fell into the room through the window.
Through that moonlight, I met a pair of beautiful amber eyes like gemstones.
I was stunned and blurted out âNathan?â
