Chapter 189 I Can Feel Pain Too
Nathael was stunned for a few seconds, then lifted his gaze to meet her reddened eyes and the tears swirling within them.
While seeing her gaze fixated on his arms, Nathael’s heart sank.
She had found out….
He walked up to her, enveloping her in his arms, and whispered, “It’s not as serious as it looks, just a bit frightening to sec
Maggie broke free, looking up at him coldly. “If I hadn’t found out, how long did you plan to hide it?”
Nathael pursed his thin lips, remaining silent. There was a rare hint of nervousness in his eyes.
The romantic atmosphere in the room evaporated instantly. Maggie even dared not to look at his arms again. She stared at him coldly and asked, “You couldn’t be reached for a few days, and you returned late. Is it because you were injured?”
Nathael didn’t deny it further. He held her hand tightly and whispered, “It’s nothing serious.
He was afraid it might delay her return to the competition.
After all, he wasn’t sure how long it would take him to recover.
He was afraid she might cry, yet she might not care. He feared she might want to stay, yet she might not.
Maggie’s eyes were red, and hearing his words made her feel even more uncomfortable, a stifling anger rising within her.
“Yes, indeed, but such a trivial injury wouldn’t be a big deal in your eyes, would it? Even if your arm were broken, I bet you wouldn’t even blink an eye!”
With that, Maggie broke free from his grasp and turned to leave,
At that moment, the tears welling in her eyes also betrayed her and fell, and Maggie felt intense heartache.
Before her eyes, she couldn’t help but recall the scene from her past life when he lost an arm.
He indeed didn’t cry, despite being covered in bloodstains all over his body.
Until he struggled to crawl towards her shattered body, she watched him in a daze for a long time, a tear rolling down her cheek mingled with blood.
Later, he lost consciousness as well.
And when he woke up again, his left arm had been amputated. He didn’t shed a tear, staring silently at the space where his arm used to be for a long time.
It seemed that he accepted it calmly in just one night.
However, he became even more silent than before. Most of the time, he would stay alone in their former room, staring blankly at her photos.

Thinking about all this, Maggie felt a suffocating pain in her chest, almost unable to breathe.
“Nana!” Nathael caught up to her, grasping her wrist.
“Let go of me!” Maggie exclaimed angrily. But as she lifted her head, Nathael froze in place.
Tears streaked down her lovely face, her eyes red like an angry rabbit’s. Her long lashes, wet with tears, chumped together, resembling blossoming sunflowers.
“Let go!”
Maggie struggled to speak, but this time, Nathael showed no intention of letting go. Instead, he held her tightly in his arms.
Maggie couldn’t break free, so she fiercely bit down on his shoulder.
Nathael lowered his gaze, remaining motionless. His injured arm, like an iron barrel, firmly encircled her, showing no intention of letting go.
He was already shirtless, and in no time, a strong smell of blood filled Maggie’s mouth.
Perhaps it was the release of the pent–up frustration. Maggie gradually gave up struggling and nestled in his arms, crying louder and louder.
Tears fell onto his chest, and Nathael’s Adam’s apple bobbed slightly. He felt a painful ache in his heart as if it were burning.
He raised his hand to stroke her hair gently and whispered, “Don’t cry.
“Nathael, you don’t understand at all!” Maggie choked out, her vision blurred by tears, making it hard to see the person in front of her clearly.
Nathael remained silent, watching her intently.
“Do you know that I worry too? Do you know that I feel pain, too? Do you know how much I regret not being able to be by your side?”
Maggie’s eyes were red, crying until her head buzzed.
“You liar! You b*stard!”
Nathael stood still. His long, deep black eyes stare at her in astonishment, as if afraid that everything he heard was just an illusion.
So, she… does care about me… doesn’t she?
Nathael couldn’t help but kiss her lips. A glimmer of light appeared in his dark eyes.
He looked at her with dark eyes/his voice low and hoarse. “I’m afraid you’ll worry.”
Maggie looked at him with red eyes, then heard him chuckle self–deprecatingly. Once again, he said, “And afraid you won’t worry.”
Maggie was stunned for a few seconds, feeling a bit disoriented.
Nathael smiled faintly, tinged with a hint of melancholy, and said again, “I’m afraid you’ll cry because you care, yet scared you won’t care at all.
Tm afraid you’ll want to stay and accompany me, delaying your competition, yet afraid I’m not that important, and you’ll still insist on leaving.”
Nathael’s voice was low and hoarse, his beautiful black eyes gazing at her. At that moment, it seemed he had exposed all his vulnerabilities, surrendering them only to her.
He had never imagined that he would be so full of anxieties and insecurities one day.
But he always thought that being full of anxieties and insecurities would at least prove that he had something worth worrying about, didn’t he?
Maggie felt even more uncomfortable in her heart.
It was her. She was too awful.
Everything she had done in the past hurt him deeply, making him uneasy now.
So, could she be considered to have brought it upon herself?
In carnest. Maggie looked him straight in the eye, telling him, “Nathael, I can feel pain, worry, and fear.
The competition is important but not more important than you. To me, you are the most important.” She spoke softly, and when she finally said these words, Maggie felt her eyes well up with tears.
She could finally say these words out loud in this life and the last.
She could tell him herself.
At this moment, Nathael’s eyes reddened at the corners, his gaze intense as if tears could drip from them. He had never imagined that he would hear her say these words one day.
Regardless of whether it was true or false, he felt no regrets.
“In the future, will you tell me? I want to be with you,” Maggie spoke softly. NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.
In the past life, with her appearance, it seemed like no place in this world could accommodate her
anymore.
It was he who had been by her side for so many years.
He was her strongest support, her final reliance. He became her eyes and gave her a home.
He shielded her from countless overt and covert attacks and stood against all the gossip and rumours for
her sake.
And now, she wanted to be by his side, no matter what happened.
Perhaps she didn’t know how to love someone, but she would try her best and try to learn.
Nathael gazed at the woman before him, tears glistening at the corners of her eyes. Her clear eyes reflected his figure brimming with concern.
Chapter 189 I Can Feel Pain Too
He felt a pang in his chest, a sensation he had never experienced. It was as if something was swelling and filling him up, yet it also left him feeling content.
He reached out and pulled her tightly into his arms, lowered his gaze to kiss her hair gently, and whispered, “Okay”
Maggie sighed softly, leaning against his chest.
The two of them remained silent for a long time until his hoarse voice broke the silence: “So, how do you account for deliberately teasing me?”
