The Wrong Woman

Chapter 430

Nathan wasn't sure why Mila was crying—maybe she didn’t want to leave, or perhaps she just felt guilty. All he knew was that hearing her voice made him feel okay.

Even though Nathan and Mila were never officially together, the intense pain he felt in his chest-was unbearable. It was as if his heart was being torn apart, and he wished he could just end the pain by dying. He wanted to tell her so many things, but he knew he wouldn't get the chance anymore.

“I have to go take care of something, so I'll hang up now,” Nathan said calmly.

He wanted to hang up before his emotions got the better of him. He was afraid that if he didn’t hang up soon, he might end up buying a plane ticket on impulse, and fly to Mila to make her stay with him. After hanging up, Nathan tossed his phone onto the desk. He sank into his chair, feeling, completely powerless, as if his spirit had abandoned him. He leaned his head back and shut his eyes.

To withstand the torment, he clenched his fists so tightly that they quivered, and veins stood out on his skin. The pain was so strong that tears trickled down from the corners of his eyes.

These days, merely dreaming of Mila brought him anguish. He was far from resilient when it came to matters of the heart. Slowly, tears began flowing uncontrollably. They followed the contours of his face, streaming down until they reached the sides of his ears.
