Chapter 144

Diana’s pov

At one moment, I even thought there was something wrong with my ears.

Otherwise, how could I hear such absurdity?

So absurd that I couldn’t even get angry. I just found it incredibly laughable.

“What are you laughing at?” Nathan frowned at me.

It was then that I realized I couldn’t hold back my laughter.

I shook my head, offering Nathan a suggestion instead.

“Let me tell you, there’s a famous psychiatric hospital about ten kilometers from this hospital.

I think you should go there. Oh, and…”

I deliberately paused.

“I know many doctors there.

I can put aside past grievances and contact them for you.”

“Diana!” Nathan’s face instantly darkened, like the eve of an impending storm.

“Redemption?” I met his gaze without fear, asking coldly, “What have I done wrong that requires redemption?”

“Do I need to remind you what you did wrong?

You let people gang rape Avia! Shouldn’t you redeem yourself?” Nathan almost roared.

I chuckled mockingly and didn’t rush to refute his words, instead slowly nodding.

“You’re right, I did make a mistake!”

My icy gaze wandered over his features inch by inch.

I once adored this face immensely.

But now, it seems utterly repulsive to me.

Seeing me admit fault, Nathan’s tone softened.

“Since you know you were wrong, then go donate to Avia-”

“No.” I interrupted him.

“You’ve misunderstood my meaning.

What I meant to say is, the biggest mistake I’ve ever made in my life is falling in love with a stupid guy like you.

That’s the indelible stain on my life!”

My words almost instantly enraged Nathan.

He, the high and mighty Alpha, how could he allow himself to be called a “stain“?

It was too late for me to retreat, Nathan grabbed my neck and slammed me hard against the wall.

Pain… followed by suffocation.

I struggled to pry his hand off my neck, but how could I possibly be a match for Nathan?

All my struggles seemed futile in his eyes.

“Let go… of me! This is… Blade Moon Pack, if… if you kill me, Marc… Marc won’t let you get away with it!”

“Am I afraid of him?” A glimpse of cruel rage seemed to flash through Nathan’s eyes, anger was consuming his reason.

Just when I thought Nathan might really kill me in a fit of rage, suddenly, the pressure on my neck eased bit by bit./

I could breathe again.

But Nathan still didn’t release me.

But Nathan still didn’t release me.

“I’ll give you a choice,” he said, “Either take back what you just said, or go donate blood to Avia. Otherwise, I’ll strangle you!”

If it weren’t for the artery being squeezed tight right now, I really wanted to laugh without restraint. Words spoken, how could they be taken back?

As for donating blood for Avia, that’s just him dreaming!

A smirk played across my eyes.

Then, I slowly closed my eyes.

“You can go ahead and choke me,” I said, quietly awaiting death’s arrival.

I admit it was a rash decision, but I couldn’t think much anymore.

However, the anticipated suffocation didn’t come.

Instead, there was a sudden, scorching breath nearing, hotter than fire.

My eyes widened abruptly, finding Nathan dangerously close to my neck.

“Here’s the deal…” his slightly hoarse voice sounded by my ear, “we’ll make a trade, you and I sleep together, and you donate blood for Avia, how about that?”

I froze suddenly, staring at him in astonishment, the voice seeming to come from another world.

“What… did you just say?”

Nathan seemed not to notice my stiffness, his other hand stroked my hair, trailed down my spine, lingering at my waist, caressing…

Familiarly terrifying.

But that wasn’t the most terrifying part.

The most terrifying was what he said next.

“Isn’t this what you’ve always wanted?” he retorted, not waiting for my denial, and continued, “You despise Avia, had people rape her, all because you think I like her, so you’re jealous of her, aren’t you?”

“You claim to hate me, regret meeting me, but it’s just your words of anger, otherwise…”

His hand slipped under my shirt hem, the chilly touch meeting my skin.

“Otherwise, why is your heartbeat so fast, body so hot, even trembling slightly? Just take it, Diana, don’t be too greedy. I reluctantly give you this night, and you obediently donate blood. For you, this definitely won’t be a bad deal, I assure you-”

“Get lost.”

I felt the hand on my waist freeze instantly.

Nathan turned his head to look at me, seemingly unable to believe it. “What did you just say?”

“I said…” I turned my head as well, locking eyes with Nathan, then repeated, resolutely, “Get lost!”

This time, not only Nathan’s hand, even he froze.

And I, taking advantage of his rare bewilderment, grabbed his wrist, twisted it hard, and with a bone–cracking sound, decisively pushed him away.

“Diana!”

Nathan suddenly realized, wanting to rush at me again, but his wrist had been twisted out of place by

At this moment, the intense pain made him stop in his tracks.

Clutching his wrist, he glared at me with dark eyes, as if wishing to tear me apart.

I stared back at him, my voice tinged with evident disgust—

“My heart is racing because I almost got strangled by you just now! My body is hot because every word you said makes me angry! I’m trembling because…

‘Don’t say

Nathan urgently cut in, anger extinguished in his eyes, seeming to want to stop me from sayin words.

But just like I couldn’t escape his clutches earlier, his attempt to stop me was futile.

In his almost shattered gaze, I enunciated each word deliberately-

“Because, your touch disgusts me!”

In an instant, Nathan’s face turned deathly pale.

His eyelashes trembled lightly, that pitiful appearance seemed to be hurt to the extreme by m

However, I ignored the emotions in his eyes.

I adjusted the wrinkled clothes grabbed by Nathan.

Instead of pondering what Nathan was thinking, I suddenly remembered something more im and I thought I could take this opportunity to address it.

“Do you want me to donate blood for Avia, right?” I asked.

Nathan looked at me suspiciously.

“Okay,” my tone resumed its formulaic coldness, “but I have one condition.”

“What condition?”

I smiled.

“Since you’re willing to reluctantly sleep with a woman you hate so much for Avia, then you s mind exchanging Avia’s life for the medical equipment in your hands, right?”
