Chapter 17 Don’t Close Your Eyes
Hrowned, took a step back, and was about to turn around and leave when Madeleine blocked my
way again.
“Those things were also told by you to him, right?”
“What’s the matter?” I felt puzzled.
“Tell him that it was me who deliberately troubled you behind your back! It was me who instigated discord! I was the one who pushed you into the swimming pool, and you reported it to him, right?”
I sneered, “You did all these things, are you afraid of others knowing?”
“I knew it was you!” she suddenly screamed and rushed towards me.
I instinctively protected my stomach, but I saw her coming for my life.
pull out a dagger from somewhere, as if she was
It seems that she was really pushed to the limit to do such extreme things!
“Kayley!” I heard a deep shout, but the expected pain did not occur.
When I opened my eyes, I realized that Niko was standing in front of me.
I watched as the dagger stabbed into his abdomen, and he kept bleeding, his face turning pale.
But he still quietly looked in my direction, making sure I was okay.
His hand lifted up, wanting to touch my cheek, but in the end, it weakly dropped down.
“Niko!” I called his name.
But he couldn’t hear anymore.
Hospital.
Everywhere was covered in pure white. I followed behind the nurse, hurriedly pushing the stretcher, which was covered in blood. My hands were also covered in blood.
I held Niko’s hand, trembling all the time, unable to distinguish whether it was me or him.
He instead squeezed my palm and softly asked me, “Kayley, are you okay?”
“I was fine, don’t talk anymore, don’t say…”
Every
time he spoke, he would exhaust his strength.
I just wanted him to be safe and sound.
He raised his hand and wiped away my tears, and I choked back a sob that almost rolled out of my throat.
“Don’t cry..” he said, “I feel sorry for you.”
“Stop talking! Don’t speak! You can’t have any trouble; I forbid you to get into trouble Do you hear
me?”
“Don’t let me feel guilty for the rest of my life…”
Niko, however, squeezed my hand and said with his last bit of strength, “If I’m not so lucky this time, you can start a new life…. Widowhood doesn’t require divorce…”
Suddenly, he pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled, “At least we were still a couple.
“Don’t say such silly things!
I wanted to cry out loud, I was very afraid that something would really happen to him.
The past emotions that had dissipated came rushing back, and I realized that my feelings for him had only been suppressed.
I wanted to protect myself, so I had to forget about him. If some more time passed, maybe I could really forget about him.
But now, I have just remembered everything between us, and he was on the verge of risking his life
to save me.
I couldn’t let go.
I still wanted to divorce him, hoping that he could walk out of that operating room safely and
soundly.
And then we signed, bid farewell to each other, and went our separate ways.
The lights in the operating room were on
I sat on the chair outside and waited.
My hands were also covered in blood, all of it was Niko’s doing.
Everything around me had nothing to do with me.
Until Niko’s mother, Georgia Rollins, arrived, she hurriedly asked me, “How is Niko doing now?
I finally lifted my lifeless eyes and glanced at her, saying, “I’m sorry, I still don’t know the situation. The doctor is doing their best to save them.”
Georgia’s eyes rolled, and she almost fainted.
يا
I thought she would blame me, but she didn’t say anything.
After calming down, he looked at me and asked me to wait here.
I didn’t know what she meant, but I obediently did as she said and waited in this place.
Not long after, Georgia grabbed Madeleine’s hair and forcefully swung it towards this direction.
“Did she do it, right?”
I paused for a moment and then nodded.
vine. “If
Georgia grabbed her hair tightly and slammed her head forcefully onto the ground, saying, anything happens to my son, I won’t spare you!”
‘Aunt! Aunt! It’s all Kayley’s fault… It has nothing to do with me! The person I wanted to kill was
her, why would I want to harm Niko?”
Georgia was slapped again, “Do you think that by saying this, I will let you off the hook? She is my daughter–in–law, and even so, I will not let you go for hurting her!”
I looked at her in astonishment after hearing her words.
My throat felt a bit choked up, and I had always thought that she didn’t like me, but I didn’t expect her to say such words.
I even thought she would blame me.
After all, Madeleine did want to take action against me, and Niko was the one who stood in front of
me to block the knife.
“Why? Aunt, you used to really like me…” Madeleine’s voice broke.
“I was such a fool!” Georgia said with hatred. “I used to like you, thinking you were obedient and sensible, but you can’t force feelings. My son doesn’t like you, and I can’t force you two to be together! Even if I don’t think the person he chose is suitable for him, at least her heart is good! It turns out that his judgment is better than mine!”
Georgia said with great sorrow, “I know everything you have done. Out of respect for your grandfather, we didn’t confront you, but I never expected you to go even further and come up with
such malicious tricks!”
; “If anything happened to Niko, you would never have a peaceful life for the rest of your life!”
She said and then she made a phone call to Niko’s father.
e was also rushing over here, and Georgia even gave him a few instructions, “Don’t let the people from the Pruitt family live too comfortably! Tell them, it’s all Madeleine’s fault!”
