Meeting You Was Fate

Chapter 103 Mandy Cut Her Artery

The leader looked up at Nathan, and his face had turned pale due to the incident. "Mr. Jin... Mr. Jin, this..."

As Nathan strode towards them, he could see the cold smile on Mandy's face. It was filled with despair and sadness.

Seeing Nathan running over, Mandy used the glass to cut her wrist one more time.

"Are you crazy?" Nathan looked at her in disbelief, with his eyes becoming red.

He wasn't going to let anyone hurt her in the first place. All he wanted was just for her to ask him, just to ask him for a favor, but she never said it.

"Nathan, if... If I die, please let my family go." As a doctor, Mandy was knowledgeable of all her important arteries and veins. Right now, she had just cut her artery. Blood loss was her only freedom now. Just one look at Nathan's cold expression, and she felt life was truly meaningless.

Mandy wasn't a person who would give up easily, but she would rather die than be touched and humiliated by these men.

"No, I won't let you die." Nathan had this crazed look in his eyes as he shook his head. He quickly bent down and reached for the woman.

She owed him so much; she couldn't die.

Mandy laughed weakly. The blood was continuously running from the cut, dripping on the floor and painting their clothes.

"Mandy, you're such a ridiculous woman. I won't let you die. I swear, your family won't live a peaceful life if you dare to die." There was a hint of panic in Nathan's voice as he neared her.This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

"You're such an ass," Mandy murmured before seeing black. Her head was about to slam back to the floor, if not for Nathan catching her.

Nathan looked at his surroundings before glancing back at her, feeling regret planted deep in his heart. It was his fault. All of this, all of what happened was his fault. He was never a religious person, never one to believe in the omnipotent one, but now, he found himself praying that Mandy would survive.

Mandy was rushed to the No. 1 Hospital in City A.

While Mandy was rushed into the emergency room, Nathan paced back and forth in the corridor so repetitively that he could burn a hole through the floors. Cutting an artery was dangerous. If it wasn't stopped or treated well, Mandy could die.

And it was his fault. Anger pounded inside Nathan. Nathan couldn't blame anyone but himself. Why did he have to do this? Why did he do this to her? He cared for her. Hell, he loved her! When he saw her slice through her artery, his heart hurt very much.

Nathan had just humiliated Mandy, aiming to hurt her dignity tonight. 'What was I thinking? Was I out of my mind?' Nathan questioned himself, feeling the urge to hit himself.

Suddenly, Fred appeared, rushing over to Nathan. His hair was a mess, and his eyes were glazed as if he had just woken up.

"Mr. Jin, how is it going?" Fred took a look at Nathan and knew that he wasn't doing well. His white shirt was stained with blood while his hair was damp with sweat. He looked like a drowned reptile.

This was the second tragedy that had happened to Nathan. The last one also happened in the hospital.

"Mr. Jin, go change first. I will stay here." Fred handed him a black paper bag.

Nathan waved it away. "I don't need it. I'll wait for her."

Though Nathan seemed expressionless, he was a mess in his heart. 'All she did was to cut her artery... nothing bad will happen... she'll be okay...' he closed his eyes and prayed.

A tense atmosphere filled the corridor. It seemed as if the lights had dimmed down. Nathan glanced down, feeling as if all his strength was drawn out of him. Even with the heating vents placed, he still felt as if the entire room was pushed into the icy depths of the North Poole.

'Mandy, you owe me so much. You can't die!'

Nathan balled his hands into fists, trying to steady his nerves. But then, he raised his gaze and was going to throw a punch at the white wall next to him.

Fred grabbed it with his hand out of instinct.

From the force, if Fred had let it fly to the wall, there would be a hole in there within a second.

"Mr. Jin, you don't have to do this. She'll live. God will bless her." Fred stretched his arm, feeling his muscles clench when he stopped Nathan's fists.

"I was the one who did this to her." His voice echoed at the door of the emergency room. If they listened closely, they could hear the sadness and guilt in his words.

Just a few hours ago, Nathan was thinking of thousands of ways to get back at Mandy, but after seeing her take her own life...his stomach twisted, feeling as if his heart was being sliced open.

"Mr. Jin, even if you were the one who did it, you can't change the past. Please, don't blame yourself."

"Fred, have I gone too far?" Nathan burst into bitter laughter. He was known as a man who was always calm, so it was shocking to see Nathan being so open and rash about his feelings.

Fred shook his head and sighed. "Love really is a poison."

Nathan closed his lips tightly, offering nothing in response.

After a while, the doctor came out.

Before he could say anything, the doctor said, "Mr. Jin, please don't worry. The operation was successful. Miss Zhou will wake up soon."

A wave of relief slammed over him. Nathan felt his shoulders droop as he took a deep breath. "Where is she now?"

"She'll come out soon. Tonight, Miss Zhou needs to stay at the hospital for observation. If everything checks out fine, she'll be ready to leave tomorrow morning."

Outside Mandy's ward

"Mr. Jin, go get some rest. I can take care of things here." Fred knew what kind of person Nathan was. Nathan would definitely stay here and make sure everything really did check out fine with Mandy, but he was trying to persuade him to go rest. He needed some sleep, too.

"No, I'll take care of her myself. Just do me a favor and host tomorrow's meeting. I won't go."

"Mr. Jin, why are you doing this?" Fred protested, knowing that he wouldn't change his mind.

"That's it. You can go home now." Nathan looked away, rubbing his temple. It was the end of the conversation for him. Nobody could convince him anymore.

In the ward, Mandy was already fully awake, overhearing the entire conversation between Nathan and Fred. She glanced at her bandaged wrist, a sad smile weaving onto her face.

Ever since she had met Nathan, her life had been a mess. She was exhausted from everything that had just happened.

If she could just stay at the hospital like this, she didn't need to think so much. A few more days and she would be able to leave Nathan permanently. Mandy would finally get the peace she wanted.

When Nathan pushed the door open, he saw that Mandy's eyes were open. As he neared, she immediately closed her eyes.

'Does Mandy hate me so much? She doesn't even want to see me, ' Nathan couldn't help but think to himself.

He slowly sat on the chair in front of the bed, not speaking. A sneer snuck into his thin lips.

Mandy closed her eyes nervously, yet her calm heart was already pounding faster as he neared.

"Do you hate me?" Nathan asked, his voice detached and cold.

Mandy pretended to sleep, not hearing him. In fact, she didn't want to waste any energy to talk to him. After what he had done and what he asked them to do, she just couldn't find it in herself to forgive him. Perhaps in his mind, all he saw her as was a toy he could play with whenever he was bored. She would not allow this to happen.
