INICIAR SESIÓNJARED"Wait a minute," I said after Stephen closed the door behind us.Sterly did as told. He turned around, and we could all see how Nate kept banging the bed crazily. The bed was already stained with his blood, but he didn't seem to care. Seeing him this way, I couldn't help but feel sad inwardly. I reached out to cover Sterly's eyes. I didn't want him to see more of this scene. If I could see Nate this way, then Sterly probably wouldn't be feeling any better. He had a relationship with Nate, and he even waited for seven years, hoping to see Nate again. He must be feeling sad at the moment. I sighed wearily. Nate kept thrashing and screaming. The doctors rushed over and tried to stabilize his situation, but he wouldn't give them the chance to do so. His eye remained fixed on the door as he fell lazily into bed. "Sterly...""Sterly." He called weakly. Even as he closed his eyes, his lips kept calling Sterly's name, and soon, the words became lower until his lips stopped mo
JAREDNate closed his eye, and after a few seconds, he opened it again. "It's not. Necessary. To keep. It away. From you. Anymore." He forced out. The smirk on his face became even more pronounced. "If that. stupid. Kane. Hadn't. Let you. Go that day.""Everything. Would. Have. Worked. The way. We planned."Anger flashed in his eyes. "That bastard. I should. Have killed. Him myself." He groaned. My stomach twisted sharply, and I took a step back. The look in Nate's eyes at the moment was incredibly scary. He looked more like a demon than a human he was supposed to be. But that wasn't what shocked me the most. It was the fact that Kane's death wasn't really related to Nate. That meant Kane really did commit suicide and everything he wrote in that letter was real. I drew in a deep breath and closed my eyes for a few seconds. At least, he would be free wherever he was now. That was good enough for him. Nate continued. "After Kane had. His way. With you, Lyra and her husban
JAREDI stood by the door.Sterly's fingers wrapped mine, tightening slightly. He smiled and nodded at me. I drew in a deep breath. "Let's go in," I said. "Hm," Sterly agreed. The door was opened, and we all stepped in. Stephen, Shawn, and Cindy took the lead while Sterly and I followed after them. The room smelled of burnt flesh and desolation. It made one feel uncomfortable from within. My eyes fell on the figure lying in bed with his eyes closed. He was bandaged like a mummy with only one of his eyes and his mouth being visible. I stepped closer to Sterly. It was hard to believe that the beautiful Nate, who was 80% like me in appearance, could become this way. Life was really unpredictable. I bet he would never have imagined himself being like this today. It was really crazy. We were silent. Everyone seemed to be in their own little world, probably reflecting on everything that had happened and using Nate as a lesson. He seemed to have noticed our presence as his
JARED"After Mr Nick told us about that bastard's situation, I immediately rushed to see his state.""If he wasn't injured enough, I would have punched life out of him. Hmmph!" Cindy made a fist. "But when I got there..."She paused, and her face paled slightly. It was as if she suddenly remembered something. She rubbed her chest. "He looked so gruesome." She mumbled in a low voice. She looked like she was about to throw up. "The doctors were yet to attend to him, and there was healthy flesh on him." My brows creased. "He was thrashing around, screaming in pain, but even the scream didn't sound human." She clenched her fist and shook her head."I had to run away as I couldn't stay longer there." I handed her a bottle of water, which she drank hungrily. "Thank you."I adjusted myself on the bed and sighed heavily. Maybe this was his karma. After all the bad deeds he'd done, he deserved to suffer. However, I still felt bad for him after hearing how much he suffered. Getti
JAREDShawn looked at me without taking a step forward. Seeing that, I tried to climb down the bed, but my body was too heavy, and climbing down was almost impossible. I almost lost my footing. "Careful!" Cindy cautioned. Stephen quickly held me back. Shawn also paled. He hurried toward me and helped me back in bed. Seeing his reaction, a smile formed on my face, but it was filled with heartache. Even if Shawn knew I would never see him as more than a friend, he would still do anything and everything for me. He wouldn't even think twice before he put himself in danger for me. However, he ended up being coldly rebuked by me. I was truly despicable. I reached out to take Shawn's hand and looked into his eyes. Shawn's eyes flickered, and he tried to look away. "No," I mumbled. Shawn returned his eyes to me. My lips tightened. I tried too hard to control my emotions. My baby couldn't take any more stimulation. Both the one in my belly and the one waiting outside. "I'm s
CHAPTER 240JAREDSterly and his family went out to change their clothes... which I knew was a lie. I could tell Sterly wanted to give my friends and me some space to talk. I watched as they closed the door and I shook my head. I really needed to know that there was no way he could lie to me. He wasn't good at it, and moreover, I knew him more than he could have imagined. How could his thoughts escape my eagle eyes?But I didn't need to tell him that because, truthfully, I needed time with my friends. After the door closed, Stephen ran over and sat beside my bed. He looked at my face silently for a few seconds. My heart skipped a beat. I could tell something terrible was about to happen. As expected, Stephen's lips parted, and loud cries escaped his throat. Stephen glared at me as he cried like a child. "You scared me. You scared me so much." "I really thought I was about to lose you." My lips pursed as my eyes also reddened. "But you ran after me. Even if I died, we wo
