My Love for You Broke Me

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 blame 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 Nicholas 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? Nicholas, who told you to save me?!"

"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 Nicholas, "It's okay, we're right in front of the hospital. The doctor will be here soon. You'll be okay."

He clasped 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 Clair meant when he said not to wait until it was too late.

In terror, I pulled Nicholas 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 replaying 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, Nicholas 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't come 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 Nicholas to?

At this time, Chairman Forger, who had been silent for the whole time, made a decision. "Do something about Nicholas to buy time for us. I will arrange a plane to bring him abroad."

When they took Nicholas 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 he comforted me, "Nicholas will be fine."

With him as my last 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 plane 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…"

"Nicholas, he—"

"Please, stop!" I yelled.

"Little girl, Nicholas' 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."
