"Mango, will you only come back to me if I die? Will you only believe that I really have you in my heart only if I suffer the same pain as you? If this is what you want, I will die for you!"
After Nathaniel finished speaking, he raised his dagger and stabbed it deeply into his heart.
"Poof!" The sound of the blade piercing into the skin was so resounding and impressive in this silent training ground.
Mango's footsteps came to a halt, and her heart was instantly tightened.
No!
It couldn't be!
How could Nathaniel, a person who cherished his life more than anything, hurt himself?
However, her feet seemed to have been anchored to the floor, and she could not lift them up no matter how hard she tried.
Mango felt her eyes dry and uncomfortable, and then a warm liquid instantly surged up. Those love and hatred in the past were all mixed together in her chest at this moment, as if they were going to explode.
She didn't dare to look back, she couldn't look back, and she didn't even want to turn look!
Seeing her being so resolute, Nathaniel smiled bitterly and said, "You won't come back to me even if I die, will you? Believe it or not, you, Mango Shen, you are the only woman and only wife in my life! Zion is my only son!"
The name "Zion" triggered Mango's nerves.
Zion, Rita!
No!
Nathaniel could not die!
It was not because she was distressed, nor because she couldn't bear to give up, but because of Rita!
For the sake of Rita, Nathaniel could not die!
Mango seemed to have found a justifiable reason. She suddenly turned around, only to see Nathaniel lying in a pool of blood in the morning light.
The dagger stabbed deeply into his chest, and his upper body had been soaked in the red blood.
The moment when Mango turned her head, Nathaniel's eyes finally became lively.
"You still care about me, don't you? Mango, you still love me!"
The corners of Nathaniel's lips curved into a smile as he leaned backward and fell to the ground.
"No!"
Mango only felt a pain in her heart as if her heart had been teared apart. Even that excruciating pain five years ago was nowhere comparable at this moment.
She ran rapidly toward Nathaniel, her tears streaming down her cheeks like the flood gushing out.
"Nathaniel, if you dare to die, I won't spare you!"
Mango held Nathaniel tightly.
There was a trace of anxiety and heartache in her eyes, as well as complicated emotions that Nathaniel could not understand.
Nathaniel held her hand tightly and said, "Everything I said was all true. Please believe me, can you trust me for one more time. If by any chance I survive from this, please give me a chance and to explain this to you, would you? Mango, I used to think that I only married you because I felt responsible to you since I had slept with you, and I made you lose the most precious virginity as a woman in front of everyone. But three years after we got married, I really fell in love with you unconsciously. I had always been in an ordinary relationship with Macy, and I had never crossed the line with her. Otherwise, I wouldn't have given up on her so resolutely and married you."
Mango was listening to Nathaniel's words, while all her eyes could see was blood from his body.
"Are you so cruel to anyone? Do you really think that I will forgive you by torturing yourself? Nathaniel, I won't! I am the cruelest woman. What you owe to me, to the children, you can't even pay it off with your death. Let me tell you, if you dare to die, I will keep Zion from reuniting with you in this life!"
Mango's tears came down like raindrops, and she had no clue of what she had said.
She told herself that she could not let Nathaniel die because Nathaniel had to go through the blood matching with Rita. Before the result would come out, he could not die.
But how come her heart ached?
The tearing pain seemed to have come out from her bones and spread to her limbs and the entire body. She was in so much pain that she could hardly breathe.
That crimson fluid stung her eyes, making her feel the severe pain.
"I'm calling the doctor! Where's your phone? Where's your phone?"
When Mango came out, she didn't even bring a phone. At this time, she was worried and anxious. The more anxious she became, the harder it was for her to find Nathaniel's coat.
Seeing Mango in such a panic, Nathaniel seemed to have seen the old her five years ago.
At that time, Mango was just like that, so desperate to do anything for Nathaniel.
Was his Mango back?
Nathaniel held Mango's hand tightly and said softly, "Mango, I love you."
These three words were like a thunder out of the blue sky, which immediately shocked Mango.
She had never expected that one day she would hear these three words from Nathaniel's mouth.
It didn't matter if he was just pretending or anything else, Mango was stunned at this moment.
Mixed feelings welled up in her heart and she just froze there for a moment. She watched Nathaniel close his eyes with a smile on his face.
When Nathaniel's arm fell down, Mango finally came back to herself as if she just woke up from a dream.
She found Nathaniel's cell phone as if she just went mad, then she unlocked it quickly, and called Zack at once.
"Zack, Nathaniel is dying! Is there a doctor here?"
Zack was just going to lie down and sleep for a while, but when he heard Mango's words, he suddenly jumped up and called the doctor over instantly.
When he saw that Nathaniel was injured, he suddenly became angry.
"What happened? You killed him?"
Mango didn't say anything, nor did she refute. She watched the doctor put Nathaniel on the stretcher and quickly run toward the operating room.
She just followed him like a rag doll, and Nathaniel's last words kept echoing in her mind.
He said, "Mango, I love you!"
