Chapter 280
The bomb did not explode, and the countdown stopped.
Both Silvia and Leroy sighed in relief at the same time. However, before they could relax, the clock started to rapidly count down again.
Suddenly, a slender hand appeared from the side. Neil grabbed the bomb and quickly ran outside.
“Neil!”
Silvia stood up and rushed toward him, but she was a step too late.
The moment Neil threw the bomb out, it exploded with a deafening bang.
A powerful shockwave quickly hit them. Silvia fell to the floor as a result and lost
consciousness?
When she jolted awake, she surprised the person next to her hospital bed.
“Silvia, you’re awake! Does it hurt anywhere?!”
She removed her IV needle and grabbed Dulcie’s hand as she urgently asked, “Where’s Neil?! Where is he right now?!”
“Don’t worry. He’s fine. He was seriously injured, but he’s awake. He’s in the room next door.”
After she learned where Neil was, she let go of Dulcie’s hand and rushed out bare–footed.
She opened the door to the neighboring room and saw Neil sitting in bed. His head was wrapped in bandages, and his face was a little pale. She ran toward him and hugged him.
Feeling the warmth of his body, Silvia finally sighed in relief. “Thank goodness you’re fine,” she said in a hoarse voice.
Neil froze for a moment, but he hugged her back. She was trembling, so he comforted her softly. “I’m fine. Don’t worry.”
Tears welled up in Silvia’s eyes. She felt both guilty and sad.
“I’m sorry. You got hurt because of me again.”
“I made that choice on my own. You don’t have to feel any pressure.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Silvia choked up. “Neil, let’s start over.”
Having gone through so much, she no longer doubted his feelings for her. She was willing to give their relationship another chance.
He stayed by her side even though he knew that the bomb could explode at any moment. When he saw the countdown speeding up, he picked up the bomb and ran out without hesitation. Her determination to stay away from him crumbled at that moment.
Neil was stunned. He remained silent for several seconds before he spoke in a hoarse voice, ” You don’t have to force yourself to be with me out of gratitude.”
“No, it’s not gratitude. I wouldn’t be with someone out of gratitude.”
After a while, Neil whispered, “Okay.”
Silvia hugged him tightly by the waist and felt a comforting sense of relief. She released him and asked, “Besides your head, is any other part injured?”
“No.”
“Thank goodness.”
Seeing that she was barefoot, Neil furrowed his brows and pulled her to the bed. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.
“Why did you run out without shoes?”
Silvia felt a bit embarrassed. She lowered her eyes and whispered, “I was too worried about you earlier, so I forgot about them.”
“I’ll get you a pair.”
At the same time, the room door opened, and Ada hurried in with teary eyes.
“Neil, I heard that you were injured…”
Before she could finish, she saw both of them in bed, and disbelief flashed across her eyes.
“You… You two…”
“Why are you here?” Neil asked with a straight face.
Ada bit her lip and looked upset.
“I’m here to see you, Neil.”
“I’m fine. You can leave now.”
Ada was reluctant to leave, but when she met his cold gaze, she could only comply and stomp
away.
