Chapter 105
"What secret?"
Quinn''s secrets had always been destructive.
I stared at her and added, "If it''s a gift, it should be something good."
Quinn pressed her bony hand against her forehead and said tiredly, "It''ll make you feel less guilty! The
kidney inside your body actually belongs to someone else. As for mine… It wasn''t fully developed, so it
was useless once they''d taken it out."
When I heard this, I was so shocked and asked, "Someone else? What do you mean?"
Although she didn''t tell me who it was, and it was useless for me to keep bugging her, I still breathed a
sigh of relief.
Yes, the Felixs still owed her, but now that I knew that the kidney in my body did not belong to her, I felt
a little less guilty when I thought about it.
"My kidney was still given to the Felixs even though you can''t use it, so it is still your fault at the end of
the day," she reminded before sighing. "When I returned to Bryxton the other day, I did not want to
me you. I didn''t want to break your heart. But when I think about what your family had once done to
me, I couldn''t help it… I''m sorry that my presence pains you, but there''s nothing else I can do."
Afterward, I left the hospital in a trance and called Gary at the entrance to ask for his help investigating
the owner of my kidney.
"Yes, ma''am. Also, the investigation results of Alba Adams'' death are out and it was Old Master Adams
who did it!"
This surprised me, as even tigers would not devour their cubs.
"Is there a reason behind it?" I asked.
"I''m still in the dark about the situation for now, but Ms. Sommer already knows the truth. So, I don''t
know what she is going to do."
"I''ll contact her after this," I said dolefully.
As I walked out of the hospital, I heard Gary speak again, "President Felix, Chairman Yates has been
wanting to meet with you, but I''ve yet to get back to him."
"I''ll meet him tomorrow—"
Before I could finish speaking, I felt my body being pushed forward as I fell to the ground. When I
looked up, I saw Nichs behind me and who was hit by a car more than ten meters away.
His body was covered in blood as I crawled toward him, full of fear. He was lying motionlessly in a pool
of blood when I reached out to touch his hard cheek with trembling hands and asked, "What are you
doing? Nichs, who told you to save me?!" N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content.
"Ree, why do you not look at the road when you''re walking?"
When he suddenly spoke and asked me such a thing, my eyes began to water instantly. Then, I noticed
a terrified-looking Maria who had rushed out of the car. She was trying to hit me on purpose!
If someone wanted to hurt me, there was no use being careful!
I yelled at her, "Hurry up and call the doctor!"
Then, I turn to coax Nichs, "It''s okay, we''re right in front of the hospital. The doctor will be here soon.
You''ll be okay."
He sped his hands around mine and called out, "Ree."
"I''m here; I''ve always been here."
My tears began to fall, drop by drop. At this moment, I suddenly understood what ir meant when he
said not to wait until it was toote.
In terror, I pulled Nichs into my arms and said, "I''m here. I''m always going to be here. As long as
you live, I promise I''ll forgive you!"
"I''m sorry I''ve caused you so much pain all this time. I''ve been living in endless guilt! I''ve been
reying the things I''ve done to you, asking myself how I could have been so cruel to you."
At this time, he was frail, and he struggled to speak. When I noticed that he tried to raise his hands to
hug me, I quickly leaned down and hugged him back. Then, I heard him whisper, "If I don''t make it, find
yourself a good man to marry. Don''t be a widow for me!"
As soon as I heard this, I burst into tears. I was stumped as I cried, "You''ll be fine. The doctor is
coming. You will be okay."
"Ree, I love you with my whole heart."
By then, Nichs had lost consciousness. Several doctors rushed out and took him into the hospital as
I continued to kneel on the ground at a loss. It was Christopher who finally came from behind and
helped me up before bringing me into the hospital.
He was in the emergency room this whole time and didn''te out for five or six hours. When the
doctor eventually came out, he said, "We''re sorry, but his injuries are too severe. We can''t do anything
about it here. You should quickly transfer him somewhere else!"
This was the best hospital in Bryxton; where could we transfer Nichs to?
At this time, Chairman Forger, who had been silent for the whole time, made a decision. "Do something
about Nichs to buy time for us. I will arrange a ne to bring him abroad."
When they took Nichs with him, even Alice, who had just rushed over, followed them. Unfortunately,
I was left behind as Chairman Forger didn''t allow me to join them.
He refused, regardless of how much I begged.
I turned to Christopher with hopeful eyes and he raised his hand to pat my shoulders as heforted
me, "Nichs will be fine."
With him as myst hope, I tugged at his sleeve. "Bring me along."
"Little girl, my father has his reasons."
After that, everyone in the Forger Family left, leaving the dumbfounded Maria and me alone. Although I
tried to chase after them frantically, the ne had already taken off and all I could do was watch it
disappear from my sight.
My heart was about to break into pieces. Since I was too afraid to stay in Bryxton and felt extremely
anxious, I drove to Eldham in a panic.
Just as I arrived at Eldham, I received a call from Christopher. "Little girl, I have something to tell you,
but you can''t get too upset."
I immediately stopped him ."Don''t tell me…"
"Nichs, he—"
"Please, stop!" I yelled.
"Little girl, Nichs'' funeral is the day after tomorrow."
My heart dropped when I heard that; my whole being felt miserable. I didn''t want to believe it as I
denied, "Impossible. He told me to forgive him this morning."
"Little girl—"
I abruptly hung up the phone and felt as if I had swallowed a bitter pill. I swung open the car door and
vomited by the side of the road.
I kept throwing up until I finallyy on the ground.
Suddenly, I understood how Nichs felt on the day that I died.
I finally started to understand him, bit by bit.
How did things get to this point?
I was so grief-stricken that I felt like I was about to die. Yet, I still couldn''t believe that Nichs had left
this world.
I cried so hard that there were no more tears left in me.
Somehow, I drove around and ended up at the Xenos'' Vi.
I didn''t know what I was doing here.
It seemed that the only sce was here.
I got out of the car and sat in the sea of lisianthus before Iy on them lifelessly. As the night got
darker, I began to feel more suffocated.
I felt like I was dying.
Suddenly, the sky in Eldham turned gloomy and it slowly began to drizzle. Then, that man showed up.
He stood by the sea of lisianthus and advised, "Ray, it''s raining."
Although his voice was cold, I could hear a trace of constion, making me burst into tears again. "The
man I love is dead."
He remained silent as my heart continued to break, and I sobbed, "Nichs is dead. I will never see
him in this world anymore."
Suddenly, he asked, "Ray, what is love?"
Somehow, I suddenly remembered what I heard in my dream. "Babe, what is love?"
I shook my head helplessly as Shawn strode over and squatted down next to me, asking, "Are you
sad?"
As I cried, he reached out to touch the scar on my cheek for the first time before he asked lightly, "If it''s
really that sad, I can make you forget him. Babe, do you want to forget him?"
