Chapter 88 Dianaâs pov âDiana, Nathan, and Avia are getting engaged next week. Here is their invitation letter. It was just delivered this evening.â
Marcâs voice echoed in my ears.
I was a bit confused.
I took the envelope from Marcâs hand, carefully opened it. And a beautiful pink invitation with gardenia flowers appeared in my palm.
I saw the names of Nathan and Avia at a glance, with golden font, juxtaposed together, creating an indescribable harmony.
No wonder Nathan didnât contact me all day. It turned out he was busy preparing for his engagement with Avia.
âThe invitation states that the engagement banquet will be held next Wednesday. But I know you donât want to see them, so I will decline this invitation,â Marc said. âWhy decline?â I looked up with a smile on my face. âWe shouldnât be absent from the engagement banquet of Alpha of Dark Moon Pack for any reason. Moreover, avoiding it will only give others the illusion that I care about them.â
âDiana...â April looked at me with a worried expression.
I put the invitation back in the envelope and returned it to Marc, calmly saying, âWhether Nathan is engaged or not, who he is engaged to, has had nothing to do with me since a year ago. So you donât have to worry about me feeling sad or anything...I wonât.â
I yawned and pretended to be tired, wanting to end this topic.
I didnât want Marc and April to continue worrying about me.
April was still pregnant, and a good mood was important to her.
âIâve been very busy at the hospital lately. I havenât slept well for several days. Iâll go to look at Lionel and then go to bed. You guys should rest early.â
I waved my hand at them and turned to walk upstairs.
Aprilâs deliberately lowered voice came from behind.
âIs Diana really fine? Her face looks bad. Iâm worried about her. I...â
âEven if Dianaâs sad, itâs only temporary,â Marc said. âI actually think that Nathan getting married is a good thing. Then he wonât continue to pester Diana.â
âYouâre right. But... even if Nathan gets married, he might insist on pestering Diana. After all, his shamelessness is evident to all of us.â
April suddenly had a brainwave.
11 âPerhaps we can hold a grand banquet for Diana. Then sheâll have the opportunity to meet more people. I heard that the most effective way to treat a failed relationship is to start a new one. In this way, Nathan has no reason to pester Diana anymore. âI can also kill Nathan to prevent future troubles.â
I stopped and sighed, then turned around to look at the two people whispering, saying, âI can hear you.â
April and Marc exchanged a glance and turned to walk in the other direction.
âLet me handle this,â April said as she walked, âI will definitely select a lot of excellent partners for Diana.â
âI believe in your taste,â Marc said.
I looked at the two in shock.
âIâll say it again. I can really hear you!â I shouted.
âOh, itâs embarrassing. She heard us.â April didnât look back.
âIt doesnât matter...â Marc shrugged.
The two of them discussed again. It wasnât until their figures disappeared from my sight that the surroundings quieted down.
I shook my head and helplessly curled my lips.
But soon, I couldnât maintain my smile Short term pleasure could not overshadow pain, but it could only make the pain more severe in the aftertaste.
I looked down at my hand, as if the frosted texture of the invitation still lingered on my fingertips.
That feeling was like thorns on the stem of a rose, giving me a faint but burning pain that disturbed my mind.
Nathan and I returned from Blood Shadow Pack in the morning, but Marc received the invitation this evening. Obviously, the invitation was printed in advance.
It meant before Nathan entered Blood Shadow Pack, he had decided to get engaged to Avia.
Look, Nathan had this kind of ability.
Whenever I felt disappointed with him, he gave me hope.
And when I mustered up the courage to reignite hope for him, he would use the most direct way to plunge me into complete despair.
However... I kept swallowing the bitterness that surged up in my throat. I thought this would be Nathanâs last pain for me.
After holding the engagement banquet and developing a cure for the Enigma virus, Nathan and I would have no further connection.
Except for Lionel...
But I would never let Nathan know Lionelâs existence.
The best outcome for Nathan and I would be to forget each other for the rest of our lives.
The next morning, I changed into Healerâs attire and knocked on the door of Aviaâs ward.
Although I was resistant to seeing Avia, as Healer, it was my responsibility to check the patientâs physical condition regularly.
So even if I was bored, I could only endure it.
âPlease come in.â
The sound coming from inside was very familiar. It was Nathan.
I couldnât help but frown.
Here came another factor that made me annoyed.
I had to repeatedly recite the code of professional ethics in my heart, using my willpower to maintain a peaceful attitude and push open the door.
âGood morning,â I said softly.
However, when I saw the expressions on Nathan and Aviaâs faces, I found that their morning didnât seem good.
There was a hint of annoyance between Nathanâs eyebrows.
Avia, on the other hand, looked dissatisfied.
âHealer, you really came at the wrong time,â Avia muttered.
So I leave? And let you die?
I said in my heart, but on my face I showed an apologetic look, âDid I bother you?â âNo...â
âYes!â
Nathan seemed to want to say something, but Aviaâs volume overwhelmed him. âNathan was just about to kiss me, but your appearance interrupted us,â Avia said. I unconsciously clenched my hand in my pocket.
So Nathanâs gloomy face was also because of this?
My appearance prevented him from kissing his beloved woman.
I was lucky that I wore a mask that no one would notice how ugly my face was at this moment.
âIâm sorry, then.â I tried to keep my tone calm, âYou can continue. Just assume I donât exist.â
âHow could I assume you donât exist when youâre standing here?â Avia frowned and ordered in a disgusted tone, âYou wait outside. Iâll let you in when itâs time.â
I raised an eyebrow in surprise.
I was thinking what gave Avia the courage to say these words to me.
Was it because she was going to become Luna of Dark Moon Pack?
But I didnât even pay attention to Nathan, not to mention her.
âIf itâs really inconvenient for you, then Iâll check your body when Iâm free next time. Of course, if you have any problems during this period, such as hair loss, rash, or skin rotting... I may not treat you in time. You can only bear it for a while. After all, Iâm busy. There are many patients queuing up for me to treat them.â
After speaking, I turned around and walked towards the door.
At the same time, Aviaâs face visibly panicked.
