Chapter 488 I Really Can''t Stand It


    John was stuck like a statue. His eyes followed Nina''s foot. Then he slowly looked at her, shrouded


    in emotions.


    He felt like the air turned thick as his breath became heavy.


    When Nina looked into his eyes, it was as lifeless as the Dead Sea. asionally, she could see


    some ripples, which seemed to be caused by anger or something else. There was so much going


    on that she couldn''t get a read on him.


    Her chest pounded as her nerves took over her. She too felt stuffy, making it difficult for her to


    breathe.


    She didn''t dare to look into John''s eyes anymore, so she turned to Noah and asked, "Noah, is your


    arm okay? You can''t be working with an injured arm. How will you deal with all those menacing


    criminals?"


    "I''m fine." Noah rolled his wrist to show Nina he was all right. He looked over Nina''s shoulder and


    locked eyes with John.


    The light that Nina ignited in John''s eyes was slowly being extinguished, leaving behind nothing but


    pain and sadness.


    John''s hulking frame gradually weakened, as if he was being shrouded by darkness.


    Noticing the sorrow in John''s eyes, Vicente said to Nina, "It was just a joke between Sean and


    Noah, but I think he feels bad that youshed out against Sean. Would you like to apologize?"


    As Vicente spoke, she kept winking at Noah anxiously.


    ''Hurry up and stand up for John. We can''t just let a fight break out.''


    Noah understood and nodded, "Vicente is right."


    "Don''t lie to me." Nina rubbed Noah''s wrist and looked up at him. "Sean did it on purpose. No matter


    what enmity you have with him, I will get back at him when he hurts you."


    Hearing this, Noah had mixed emotions.


    He was happy but there was still a strong guilt hanging over him.


    Before he could figure out how to ease the tension, Nina said coldly, "Sean, pack up and leave


    before noon."


    Hearing this, the three of them were all stunned.


    John clenched his fists as his eyes turned red. He gritted his teeth tightly, as the fury built from


    inside of him.


    Noah looked towards John.


    ''If John''s heart got hurt form Nini''s kick, this sentence would have broken his heartpletely.''


    "Nini, stop it. Sean is the children''s bodyguard." Noah had to intervene before she did anything


    rash.


    Vicente said, "Yes. Don''t forget that Jett still has his eye on the two of us. If he can''t get to us, he''ll


    definitely go after the children."


    "I''ll protect the babies myself." Nina refused to listen to them.


    Vicente became a nervous wreck. For the first time, she angrily raised her voice at Nina. "You can''t


    fire Sean because of your own selfish motive! He is my children''s bodyguard. Nina, you can''t just


    think of Noah all the time."


    Nina said slowly, "I''m just protecting him."


    There was no sense of doubt in her cold voice. Noah could tell she was as domineering as John.


    "I don''t think you should dismiss him either. If you fire him, you''ll regret it," Noah said.


    Nina stopped him and said, "Noah! He kicked you on purpose. No matter what the reason is, I can''t


    keep him around. Why are you standing up for him?


    You were never like this before. Whenever anyone hurt you or the people around you, you would be


    merciless towards them."


    "I..." Noah was about to speak up but couldn''t bring himself to say it. Bitterness consumed his heart.


    ''Nini, the man you are talking about is John, not me.


    How can I tell you this?


    You can''t hear his name or see his face so what can I do?''


    "Sean, leave before noon." Nina had made up her mind and nothing was going to change that.


    John''s head was ringing with Nina''s cold order. All he could hear was her words of dismissal.


    His heart slowly sank, deeper and deeper and finally fell silently at the bottom of a lifeless pit.


    Even though he knew that Nina''s memory loss was making her side against him, it was still difficult


    to ept it. Seeing the love of his life cast him aside was killing him.


    John turned around and left.


    "Sean! Sean!" Vicente ran after him while reminding Nina and Noah, "Remember to take care of


    Van and Don."

    She finally caught up with John and walked side by side with him.


    They were going along the path back to the castle.


    "Sean, I know this hurts, but you can''t leave like this. Are you going to give up like this?"


    Instead of answering, John walked faster.


    His long legs strode ahead to the point where Vicente almost had to jog to keep up.


    "I know you think that Nina has Noah, but Noah..."


    "He is nothing," John blurted out.


    "Yes, you''re right. He is nothing." Vicente nodded. "Noah is not the one Nina fell in love with. Even if


    she thinks she loves him, she still remembers everything about you. She just can''t remember your


    name or your face.


    You have the opportunity to get close to her now. It may take some time, but she''ll remember you


    eventually. I don''t believe she will fall in love with Noah just because of her memory loss. Nina has


    never forgotten about this rtionship, so don''t..."


    "She has forgotten me." John turned around and faced Vicente. His voice was filled with endless


    sorrow.


    His eyes dimmed as his low voice bellowed, speaking to Vicente. "This month, I saw her look at


    Noah the same way she used to look at me. I heard her call Noah in the same tone as she used to


    call my name. I wanted to punch Noah in the face almost all the time. I wanted to talk to Nina


    constantly, so that she could remember who I am.


    I can''t stand it." The more John clenched his fists, the more his heart seemed to quake. "I really


    can''t stand it.


    I don''t hate her for trying to protect Noah. I hate myself for not being able to remind her who I am."


    John gradually loosened his fists, as if all his strength was gone. He was left helpless.


    He was never a person who wanted quick and easy sess with instant benefit, nor did heck


    confidence. But since Nina came into his life, everything had changed.


    "John..." It was the first time Vicente had heard him say so much. Over the past month, John had


    been indifferent at best. She assumed that he wouldn''t let this affect him at all and he''d just ept


    it.


    She was wrong. John couldn''t ept Nina forgetting him.


    He was in so much pain all this time.


    Vicente opened her mouth. The sadness around her choked her up, unable to say anything to


    comfort John.


    She could do nothing but watch John leave.
