Chapter 54 Dianaâs pov Pop!
The cup fell to t ground, shattering into pieces.
I looked at Nathan in shock, unable to believe my ears.
âAre you crazy? Do you know what youâre talking about?
âI said, if Victor were a hindrance between us, then I would kill him! If he died, your wouldnât use the damn second chance to reject me!
After Nathan finished speaking, he chuckled lightly again and said, âWith the fact that he dared to let you give birth to his child, I should have killed him long ago.
I tried to find a trace of reason in Nathanâs eyes.
But he was clearly calm and had no intention of joking.
At some moment, I wanted to kick him out.
However, after seeing his painful and weak expression, my heart softened.
After adjusting my breathing a few times, I sat back on the sofa.
I have decided to calmly talk to Nathan to avoid him continuing to go crazy.
âI lied to you about one thing,â I said. âVictor and I are not mates. He is just I friend. You donât need to have so much hostility towards him.â
my As soon as I finished speaking, Nathanâs eyes suddenly lit up. Even his originally pale face improved, as if his became radiant at once.
I frowned and suddenly felt a little helpless.
âI mean our problem has nothing to do with Victor. Even if you kill him, it wonât solve anything. Do you understand?â
âAnd what about that child?â
âWhat?â
I didnât react for a moment.
I didnât expect Nathan to suddenly shift the topic.
âThat child!â Nathan repeated again, his tone becoming increasingly urgent, as if eager to hear the answer, almost losing the composure that an Alpha should have. âIf you and Victor have never been together, whose child is that? Is -â
âNo!â I interrupted him in a cold voice, lying calmly. âThat child was not born to me. He is a relativeâs child. Due to some unforeseen circumstances, I adopted him.â
âYour relative?â Nathan squinted at me. âWhat kind of relatives? Because of what? Why do they hand over the child to you instead of someone else? Also, why does Lionel have Alpha aura on him? Why was he born exactly ten months after you left me? Diana, donât you think all of this is too coincidental? Or are you lying to me?â I silently clenched my fist, but my face remained expressionless.
âLionel is my cousinâs child, so he has an Alpha aura on him. My cousin and his wife died in the war with Shadow Pack three months ago. Because April is pregnant and unable to take care of their child, Mare gave their child to me to raise. If you donât believe me, you can investigate it â
âNo need,â Nathanâs expression darkened. âIâve heard of that war.â
I cleared my throat and slowed down my voice.
âOkay, Iâve explained everything. Your injury is in the heart, so itâs best not to have too much emotional fluctuations. It will delay the healing time. You should rest well nowâ
âDiana, 1...â
âOr I can leave the office for you and Iâll go somewhere else.â
I was implying Nathan not to continue the previous topic..
Upon hearing this, Nathan awkwardly averted his gaze and said stiffly, âDonât misunderstand. I just want to ask who saved me.
âHealer,â I said concisely.
Nathan sneered coldly, âI knew it was that woman. That knife was stuck in my heart.
No one else besides her could make me wake up so quickly.â
âYour wolf is also powerful,â I said casually.
âItâs not important,â Nathan waved his hand and furrowed his brow. âSo, how much did that woman ask you for this time? 300 million, 500 million, or more?â
âI blinked, âWhy do you think Healer wanted so much money from me?â
Nathan sneered.
âIsnât this Healerâs usual method? Besides, Healer hates me so much. How was she willing to save me without a large amount of money? She might want me to die.â
I coughed twice suddenly and muttered to myself, âAm I acting so obvious?â Nathan continued to ask, âHow much money did she ask you for? Iâll give you back the money.â
âNo, she...â
I was about to explain when suddenly there was a hurried knocking at the door. I got up to open the door.
However, just as I opened the door, a slap came towards me.
I didnât have time to dodge. As soon as I saw the palm about to hit my cheek, Nathan grabbed my arm and dragged me into his arms.
I just saw clearly that the person was Avia.
Avia missed me and suddenly learned forward under the influence of inertia.
Avia missed me and suddenly leaned forward under the influence of inertia, stumbling several steps in a row before almost falling head-on to the ground. She stood steadily by holding onto the sofa, turned her head and glared at me. When she saw Nathan holding me, the anger in her eyes became even more intense. I thought if her gaze could turn into sharp blades, I would already be riddled with wounds.
âAvia, what are you doing?â
Nathan stepped forward, his tall figure blocking me.
My heart beat twice fiercely.
This was the first time that Nathan had chosen to protect me in front of another Womall Most of the time in the past, I could only watch him stand in front of another woman.
and confront me head-on.
Aviaâs face appeared momentarily bewildered, as if she couldnât believe her own eyes.
She was stunned for a moment, her expression gradually twisted.
âWhat am I doing? Of course I want to teach this bitch a lesson! You are injured because of her! Sheâs a bane!â
My nerves twitched and I looked up at Avia, coldly asking, âHow did you know about this?â
âI...â Avia licked her lips, her eyes flickering. âOf course, someone saw it and told me!â
I couldnât help but frown, feeling that something was wrong.
At this moment, Avia looked at Nathan again.
âNathan, do you know how worried I was when I knew youâre injured? Iâve been looking for you everywhere. I didnât expect you to be here with her!â Avia pointed at me and shouted angrily, âYou even questioned me for her!â
âThatâs enough, Avia.â Nathan said sternly, âYou donât need to worry about my things. You can go back. Donât ever trouble Diana again.â
âWhat are you saying?â Aviaâs eyes seemed to split. âHow could you treat me like this? Iâm worried about you!â
âBut I donât need it,â Nathanâs voice grew colder and sharper. âGo back. Donât let me repeat it a third time.â
Aviaâs shoulders trembled with anger. Her gaze was malicious as if she was about to tear me apart.
But in the end, she still left under Nathanâs pressure.
Nathan turned to look at me and said, âI apologize for Avia. I may have spoiled her.â Nathan let out a sigh.
I shook my head absentmindedly and my mind was filled with Aviaâs abnormal reactions.
reactions.
Although I didnât have any evidence yet, I always felt that the assassination was related to her.
I instinctively looked at Nathan, hesitating whether to tell him my doubts or not. However, after thinking, I still gave up on this idea.
After all, Avia was Nathanâs beloved sister. I couldnât suspect her based solely on intuition.
Besides, perhaps I was really overthinking.
âDiana?â Nathan asked. âWhat are you thinking?â
âNo,â I whispered, âYou can go back.â
âAre you driving me away?â Nathan increased his volume.
â
âI felt speechless for a moment, âOr I can leave.â
Nathan stopped speaking and slowly moved towards the door.
However, before he could move to the door, a doctor rushed in.
âCrazy!â The doctor was still in shock, bending over and pounding his knee. âMany patients... many patients have gone crazy!â
I suddenly widened my eyes.
The doctor gasped and explained, âHalf an hour ago, when the nurse was making a rounds, she found that several patients were crazy. The symptoms were exactly the same as Aviaâs! We.....
We canât control it anymore! â
