Suddenly, seeing Nicholas faint, she couldn’t bear it anymore. She rose from her wheelchair, intendingto reach his side.

However, due to her crippled legs, she fell to the ground with a thud when she had just stood up. Theground was covered in blood, and as Madelline fell, she was splashed with more and more blood.

Her hands pressed into the blood, staining them as she crawled forward, shouting, “Nicholas, wake up!Please wake up. I beg you, hold on! You must hold on. Nicholas!”

On the side, Perry sneered. “What a pair of devoted lovebirds, Tsk, tsk, even I’m touched!”

The night wind was bitterly cold, and Madelline shivered uncontrollably.

Yet, she continued to crawl forward with clenched teeth until she reached Nicholas.

Finally, she grasped his hand. She immediately exerted force and crawled toward him.

“Nicholas, wake up! Please wake up!” Madelline cried with tears streaming down her face.

After a while, Nicholas finally opened his eyes.

However, he was too exhausted. He had no strength left in him. Even with his eyes open, he wasutterly limp.

Madelline gripped his hand, crying with deep sorrow and heartbreak. “Nicholas, hold on. We will befine.”

“Madelline, we’ve known each other for so long, and I’ve never asked you for anything. But now, I wantto ask for a favor,” Nicholas said weakly.

“Alright, say it. Whatever you ask, I promise you, as long as you hold on.”

“I-If you survive…” Nicholas tore off the necklace from his chest that was mixed with blood and placedit solemnly in Madelline’s hand. He said with effort, “Give this necklace to Nancy for me. Tell her that Ilove her, but I’m sorry I can’t grow old with her. If there’s a next life, I promise, I will protect her well andmake her happy.”

Having said this, Nicholas seemed to have no strength left. His hand drooped.

“Nicholas, Nicholas!” Madelline shouted loudly. “Is this all you want to say? Don’t you have anything tosay to me? Nicholas, wake up! Don’t ignore me.”

Perhaps these cries had an effect. Nicholas forced his eyes open again, weakly looking at Madelline.“Don’t forget, you m-must deliver these words to her for me. I don’t want her to be sad.”

Madelline cried even more sadly, clutching Nicholas’ hand. “Don’t you have anything you want to say tome?”

She meant words that were meant for her alone.

2/3

too, were stained with blood. Where he lay had formed a large pool of blood.

Madelline clenched her fists, crying uncontrollably.

The night wind was bitterly cold, and Madelline shivered uncontrollably.

Yet, she continued to crawl forward with clenched teeth until she reached Nicholas…

Finally, she grasped his hand. She immediately exerted force and crawled toward him.

“Nicholas, wake up! Please wake up!” Madelline cried with tears streaming down her face.

After a while, Nicholas finally opened his eyes.

However, he was too exhausted. He had no strength left in him. Even with his eyes open, he wasutterly limp.

Madelline cried even more sadly, clutching Nicholas’ hand. “Don’t you have anything you want to say tome?”

She meant words that were meant for her alone.

Why? Why are all your words meant for Nancy? At this critical moment of life and death, your heartonly holds her! Nicholas, do you know how cruel you are? How cruel you are! In this life-and-deathbattle, it’s clearly me who accompanies you and fights side by side with you. Why do you only think ofNancy? Why?

At this moment, hatred had almost distorted Madelline’s heart. She clenched her fists, her entire beingfilled with hatred.

But Nicholas couldn’t see any of this. He closed his eyes, utterly exhausted.

He was mumbling lightly at the corner of his mouth, but it was still that familiar name. “Nancy, Nancy…”

At the sound of that name, Madelline’s heart brimmed with even more hatred.

The raging wind howled, while the entire street seemed to have returned to silence. At this moment, thenight was terrifyingly quiet.

Nancy, I once said that even in death, I won’t let you have an easy life. Even if I die, I won’t let youhave Nicholas.

Madelline tightened her fists. Looking at Perry, she made a decision. For victory, she could give upeverything. She could spare no expense.

The night grew even darker. Suddenly, cries of despair pierced through the silence of the night. In theair, mixed with sinister laughter and a heavy, degenerate scent, the sound of shattering echoedincessantly. The whole city seemed to be shrouded in darkness, filled with sorrow.

Listening to those cries, Nicholas widened his eyes. His pupils were bloodshot and his fists wereclenched. He cried out in pain, but it was futile.

He wanted to stand up, but the situation simply wouldn’t allow it. His body could only lie defeated onthe ground, devoid of any strength.

One staff after another fell upon him as fresh blood once again sprayed into the air.

The night was long and torturous. It was especially dark and cold.

Soon, the break of daylight arrived. The sun slowly ascended from the horizon, emitting a gentle glow.In the vicinity, the sound of police sirens drew near, prompting the group of individuals to dispersehastily. The air was filled with the strong scent of blood and an unidentified odor.

At the sight of the police cars, Madelline’s attention was solely focused on them. She hurriedly crawledtowards them, her hands trembling. She swiftly lifted Nicholas, exclaiming, “Nicholas, help has arrived.Thank goodness, we are rescued!”
