Chapter 159 – Saving Nangong Man
The other three hesitated, perhaps unable to disobey the grim-faced man’s orders, and they had to force their nerve to walk towards Asher.
Just as they approached Asher, Asher flew up and kicked the grim-faced man at the front of the room, his tone so cold that it was bone chilling, “If you’re not afraid to die, go ahead and do it!”
The other three men looked at each other, all seeing fear and dread in each other’s faces, and immediately bent down to pick up the man who had been kicked to the ground, looked at Asher in a panic, and immediately ran quickly out of the underground garage.
“Still you’re great, you just came over and they were scared away while I was beaten so badly by them.” After seeing the four men flee, Nangong asked, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth and shakily standing up with a self-deprecating smile all over his face.
Asher spread his hands helplessly and shrugged his shoulders, answering his question, “That’s because, if they knew about my relationship with Lina, that’s why they showed mercy, if it were anyone else, they would still be beaten up by them as usual. You know, they’re all professional killers, they don’t show mercy.”
“So, Lina still has some feelings for you.” Checking his wretched appearance around, Nangong asked, tugging at the corners of his mouth to give Asher a reassuring smile, only to find that the corners of his mouth hurt so badly that he couldn’t manage to put on a smile at all.
Asher didn’t answer his question, he just approached him and patted him on the shoulder, his tone concerned, “Are you okay, this is the hospital, go see a doctor, I see they beat you up pretty bad.”
“Forget it, I’d rather not go to the doctor. The first order of business now is to go and find a decent outfit to change into so Mia won’t worry. By the way, I have to trouble you to take care of her for a while longer, I’ll be back soon.” Nangong asked making a smiley face in pain.
“But, Mia she, she didn’t seem to want to see me, that’s why I came to you to keep you company …” Asher’s expression, flashed with vague pain and helplessness.
After he had brought Mia to the hospital just now, Mia had said that her fever had gone so high that she was in a bit of a coma, but she didn’t even seem to want to look at him directly, and even when she was admitted to the ward, she kept her back turned to him.
Despite the hard feelings in Asher’s heart, he waited patiently for her to fall asleep, raised his wrist to look at his watch and found that Nangong asked hadn’t arrived after an hour, and he began to have a vague feeling that something was wrong. According to Nangong Man’s concern for Mia, he would have rushed to come when he heard that she was sick.
There must be something that’s keeping him so long!Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Once Mia was asleep, Asher finally couldn’t sit down anymore and headed towards the hospital’s downstairs, where he waited at the door for a few minutes, decisively heading towards the underground garage when he still hadn’t seen Namgung asking for a figure.
If Nangong asked if he was coming, he would definitely drive over, so he would definitely come to the underground garage. If someone wanted to disadvantage him, the underground garage at night seemed to be the best choice. Because, in the underground garage at night, very few people would go in.
As it turned out, he was right, and when he hurriedly arrived at the underground garage, he really found four people surrounding Nangong asked one person!
Seeing Namgung ask battered and bruised, Asher doesn’t hesitate and quickly strikes!
Now seeing that Nangong was going to look for clothes, he casually took off the jacket he was wearing and threw it to Nangong, gesturing with his afterimage, “Now that Mia is sleeping, she won’t wake up for a while. Moreover, even if she wakes up, I have specifically explained that the nurse has taken care of her, can you accompany me to have a drink?”
Asher’s tone was, as never before, conciliatory and cordial.
“Well, you saved my life today, so I have no reason to refuse. Besides, I’ve wanted to talk to you for a long time, and this is the perfect opportunity to do so.” Nangong asked after only a slight hesitation, and quickly agreed to Asher’s request with alacrity.
After all this time, he did have a lot to say to Asher.
The two soon found a coffee shop downstairs at the hospital, found a quiet corner to sit in, and had the waiter bring two coffees.
Through the window of the café, but seeing the increasingly depressed landscape and the sparse pedestrians outside, Asher’s eyes were tinged with a layer of desolation and hopelessness by the night, and he seemed to have no intention of opening his mouth to speak, but only looked out of the window in silence, as if in thought.
“Master Jun, you’ve changed a lot.” Taking a light sip of coffee, Nangong asked as he watched Asher for a long time before finally being the first to speak up. He was a man and understood Asher’s current mentality, he wanted to desperately try to salvage it, but Mia was desperately avoiding it, not even willing to give him a single chance at all.
That’s where Asher’s sadness lies.
Since childhood, women had never been a vague concept in his dictionary, perhaps synonymous with a tool for venting, and he had never taken any of them seriously; it was women of all colors who had fallen back on him to please him.
So, even when he comes across a woman he likes, he can only follow his inherent behavior and thinking and use the woman for himself without knowing how to treat her.
“You love her too, don’t you? I’m a man, and I can see that you love her very much.” Turning his head, the coffee-draped mist, which reflected Asher’s handsome face, gave him an unspeakable demonic look, and instead of following up on what Namgung asked, he started another conversation.
Not expecting him to speak his heart so directly, Nangong asked froze and hung his head in dismay, nodding painfully, “Yes, I love her, I love her even more than I love myself. I’ve been with her for five years, these five years … but, the person she loves is you!”
Finally, in front of another man, Nangong asked and unapologetically said what was on his mind.
He’d always thought that telling his “love interest” about his disappointment seemed like a very difficult thing to do, but he actually found it extremely relaxing when he said it to Asher!
“Would she love me and still treat me like she does now? You know, I desperately wanted to make up for my past mistakes, I wanted to pamper her, but, she didn’t even give me the chance to do that.” Smiling bitterly, Asher took a sip from his black, bitter coffee, “For the first time, I wanted to pamper a woman, to really have a woman, and she, for one, didn’t care!”
She doesn’t even care. She doesn’t even want to see him!
Shaking his head, Nangong asked also cast his gaze out of the window, his eyes deep, his tone bitter, “Asher, it’s hard for her to love you for so long, but she loves such a fool like you. You have to know that how deep the love is, how deep the hate is, it is because she loves to the bone that she hates to the bone, don’t you still understand now?”
I don’t know why, but when he heard Asher say earlier that Mia didn’t love him, Namgung asked suddenly wanted to stand up and smack him upside the head!
This man, how blind his senses are to see that Mia doesn’t love him!
“Nangong asked, since you are also deeply in love with Mia , why are you still willing to give me the chance to get close to her?” Sensing the change in Nangong Man’s mood, Asher gave a bitter smile helplessly and asked the one question he was most concerned about.
He was a man, and an observant and perceptive one at that, so naturally he could sense Namgung asking about his feelings for Mia.
“Good, I’m in love with her, so I can understand her thoughts better.” Asher’s words instantly changed Nangong asked from excited to disheveled beyond belief, slowly hanging his head, “I know that she will only be happy if she is with you, if she forgives you completely. Otherwise, she’ll be so miserable for the rest of her life! Am I just going to stand by and watch her in this abyss that she has set up for herself, unable to pull herself out?”
There was a silence.
Asher didn’t say another word, just looked down at the coffee in front of him, a soft frown on his thick, dark, good-looking brow and a thoughtful look on his face.
“I knew what you meant when you told me to come over. But, I think you should be braver.” Looking steadily at Asher, Namgung asked with a focused and stony expression.
“A little braver?” Snapping his head up, Asher looked at Nangong uncomprehendingly, his face full of questions.
Nangong asked and smiled faintly, somewhat relieved and somewhat sad, “I was assured of you, that’s why I entrusted Mia to you. Since you have to face it eventually, then why not choose an effective way to face it? Wouldn’t it be better if you were together every day? I’m sure the ice will break sooner or later, it’s up to you if you work it out!”
“You mean, for me to take Mia back to where I live?” Soon, Asher understood what Namgung was asking.
Nangong asked and nodded, looking at him seriously.
“But how will she go back with me in this condition?” Spreading his hands, Asher shrugged helplessly. How could Mia follow him back to the villa when she didn’t even want to see him now?
Laughing helplessly, Nangong asked a tentative prompt, “As you said earlier, Mia is now asleep …”
“You …” Asher froze, but it was only a matter of seconds before a smile of recognition grew on his handsome face, “You’re a friend, I’ll make!”
“Well, hurry back to the hospital and go back early while Auntie Bear is still awake. I can’t guarantee that I won’t backtrack later!” Looking at Asher, Nangong asked half jokingly, but his heart was as bitter as the coffee in front of him.
Asher stood up, nodded at him, and stomped out of the cafe.
“Mia , I let you go, I hope you can get happiness and not lose it again!” Looking at Asher’s hurried back, a bitter smile and reluctance finally appeared on Nangong asked’s handsome face.
