Nathan’s handsome face had gone deathly pale, and his body was covered in blood, especially his chest. The entire stretcher was also painted a bright red.
There was so much blood that Lucinda was silent for a while, unable to say a word due to the shock.
He was not lying to her this time. He was really bleeding to death.
Tears rolled down her cheeks as she covered her mouth in disbelief.
With heavy steps, she willed her feet to walk up to him.
When Nathan finally saw her making her way slowly toward him, his eyes brightened up. His bloodied fingers shook as he reached for her wrist.
“Don’t cry… The bullet doesn’t hurt me… However, if you cry, it breaks my heart.”
Tears continued to stream down Lucinda’s cheeks.
She gripped Nathan’s hand tightly as she cried out, “You can’t die!
If you die, I’ll marry another man immediately, you hear me? I’ll make you regret dying!”
Nathan managed a weak smile.
“No, you are mine…”
Because she did not know how to respond to that, Lucinda scanned the room full of doctors and nurses and ordered, “I’m already here! Get him in there!”
Nathan still had his hand on hers, and he showed no sign of letting go.

“Listen to me first. I’ll explain everything.”
“Let the doctors treat you first, okay? I’ll be right here. I’ll hear you out once you’re better.”
Nathan had lost a lot of blood, and it showed on his face.
He refused to let go of Lucinda’s hand, though. He needed to get a good look at her. If something went wrong with the operation, he might never wake up again.
Lucinda’s heart ached as she yanked her hand away from his.
Immediately, Nathan was pushed into the ER.
She was made to wait outside once the surgery light came on. Her eyes were glazed over, and her face was damp with tears.
It was the first time that she had cried in front of so many people, but she did not care at all. All she knew was that she did not want Nathan to die.
Nathan remained in the ER for another three hours, until nine o’clock in the evening.
Sonny sat down across from Lucinda with a grimace on his face after he told the others to leave.
