Trouble in Paradise (Arianna and Nicholas)
Chapter 0352

Chapter 0352

My heart trembled. I wrapped my arm around Nicholas's back, unsure where to place it.

He choked up. "You can't die before me."

My eyes stung, and soon, they reddened as well.

Ever since Nicholas and I got divorced, I felt like I had lost my final connection to the world. I was like a balloon that had been cut loose, drifting wherever the wind took me

I followed Pete to Lexton City, trying to settle my restless heart and live a normal life. But even after spending all day watching the fish in the tank, it never felt like home. But at this moment, the string was firmly back in Nicholas's hands.

He tethered me to the ground, grounding me with a sense of belonging. The noise of the world-sirens, voices-faded into a distant hum, leaving only his overwhelming affection and declaration in my ears. For the first time, this winter was more than gray. I gently patted his back and whispered, "I'm in pain.

Nicholas straightened up immediately, worry flooding his face. "Where? Where are you hurt? Then, he tumed and yelled, "Get an ambulance, now!"

Tears welled up in my eyes, but I held them back. He finally noticed my arm hanging unnaturally by my

side.

"I'm taking you to the hospital!" He scooped me up effortlessly.

But as we were leaving, Jasmine grabbed onto his pants. "Nick, save me. I'm dying..."

"You just stay here and wait. The ambulance should be here soon," Nicholas replied coldly, kicking her hand away.

"You better survive. We've still got unfinished business."

"She only hurt her arm, and you're this worried. But you don't even care if I'm about to diet" Jasmine's voice wailed behind us.

Leaving the driver to deal with the aftermath, Nicholas drove us to the hospital himself.

His hands shook uncontrollably from the pain, yet he seemed oblivious. He only asked over and over, Does it hurt? Just hang in there, we're almost there..."

I had never heard him talk so much before. I closed my eyes and turned my head slightly, but my mind was filled with his name. It crowded my thoughts until I felt like my head would explode. This man I had loved since I was young-he always had a way of making me fall for him again, no matter

the age.

Maybe this feeling wasn't quite right. Perhaps it was just the aftermath of this accident messing with my emotions.

Had I fallen in love with him again? Had I ever stopped loving him? I didn't know

The pain from the past was still there, still fresh. I hadn't forgotten. If I were younger, I might've thrown +25 BONUS

myself into his arms without hesitation. But now, although I knew how I felt, I was too afraid to show it.

I was afraid...

My arm was dislocated. After the doctor set it back in place, I could move it again without issue. Nicholas, however, had suffered severe burns on his hands.

Although the hospital quickly came up with a treatment plan, it was still uncertain whether those beautiful hands of his would be scarred.

But Nicholas didn't seem to care. He looked down at his bandaged hands, his tone casual as he said, "A man can handle a few scars. It's just that my wife needs to take care of me for a while."

Nicholas, the one who had been effortlessly steering the wheel on the way here was now unable to drive

at all.
