Chapter 280 - I stopped loving you Nathan (1/2)

Aroma finally opened her eyes 2 days after the incident. Nathan's worried and tired face come into view.

She could still felt a throbbing pain from the area that got shot and the back of her neck that Nathan hit to make her pass out,  because he needed to use pressure for it to really work on her.

She just stared at him blankly, while Nathan's hand reached for her face. He stroked her face carefully, while she kept staring at him.

”Tiffany I'm sorry.” he said.

Aroma didn't put up a fight anymore. She smiled softly and spoke, ”I'm quitting my job.” she said.

Nathan nodded his head. He has made up his mind already. Since she lost the ones dear to her, he's willing to make the sacrifice.

He told himself that the organization wouldn't collapse if he mistakenly lost his life on a mission. They will work out something and chose a befitting leader after mourning him.

There are lots of qualified seniors to take over, so why not make it up for this woman.

He think its just as simple as that. He thought Aroma will be cool with the news,  but something else awaits.

Seeing that Nathan didn't bother to argue with her over it, she slowly close her eyes and returned to sleep, not sparing him any glances.

She wouldn't deny that Austin went overboard with what he did, but she would have done worst to avenge those two, if there death wasn't attached to her.

She still find herself guilty, because she gave Diana the mission, but wouldn't blame Austin for losing it as well.

Everything is just complicated and she only want to go far away from all this, she want to breathe.

It hurts that Nathan shot Austin, which made her lost it and fight him, but understand that the situation he met his twin brother and Diana must have made him snapped.

She's actually thankful to Ethan for shooting her, because if she had really hurt Nathan out of annoyance, that's the end. She will lose her mind completely.

Nathan's urge to break the news to her died immediately she returned to sleep. He didn't think it's the right time and decided that it's better that she rest more.

Aroma heard Amy's voice after a few minutes. She was persuading Nathan to go and rest, that it has been 2 days, he refused to eat, sleep and didn't even take his bath and have a change of clothes.

Aroma's blood was still evidence on his shirt, but we're all dried up.

Since she has woken up and even managed to speak, Nathan believed she's out of danger and agreed to Amy's suggestion.

Aroma felt tears streaming down her faces, because she knew Nathan is trying his best. He's completely dumb to all this feelings stuff, but giving it his all.

But she couldn't bring herself to forgive him. She assumed that Ethan must have fired the shot since he ended up with a gun, which she didn't know.
