Seven Days Seven Nights

Chapter 197 Nancy’s Calls

Nicholas awoke in the hospital.

His injuries were serious, but thankfully, there were no internal injuries, only non-lethal external wounds. With the doctor’s treatment and the best medication, his condition improved significantly after two nights of rest.

However, his upper body was still wrapped in layers of bandages, giving him a somewhat scary

appearance.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Madelline leaning over beside him. Nicholas gently moved his fingers, and Madelline immediately woke up.

Seeing him awake, Madelline was overjoyed. “Nicholas, you’re awake? You’re really awake? I didn’t see wrong, did I?”

“I’m fine, don’t worry.”

After saying this, Nicholas thought of the events of that day and felt a heavy sense of guilt. Those scenes were so real that they almost suffocated him.

He had to admit that he was able to come back from there alive this time because of her.

It was her sacrifice that saved his life..

“Madelline, you… How are you?”

Nicholas couldn’t finish his words, but Madelline quickly reached out and covered his mouth. “Nicholas, don’t speak. Don’t say anything. To save you, no matter what I have to give up, I think it’s worth it. It’s not just this. Even if they wanted my life, I’d give it up for you. As long as you’re alive, it’s enough for me.”

Tears streamed down her face as soon as she finished speaking.

Nicholas looked at her, feeling a slight heartache. After all, they were once closest to each other. But what he felt more was sympathy and guilt. It was a deep guilt, like threads, tightly entwining his heart.

If he could, he would rather have perished in that night instead of her using that kind of method to save him.

“I’m sorry, Madelline. You did all this to save me.”
