100 Days to Seduce the Devil

Chapter 836: The End or Not?

Day Eighty-Eight...

There were lots of things he wanted to tell Jane but he was running out of time. Nathan could feel the sudden pressure inside his chest. His heart began to tighten, squeezing it.

Nathan groaned when he felt the dull ache on his chest. He tried to endure it for a moment but failed. The pain was growing by the second.

Jane also noticed that Nathan's face turned pale and sweat covered his forehead. She immediately supported him, making him sit on the bed. Nathan's back rested on the wall as Jane and Ethan looked at him worriedly.

"Dad, what's happening?" Ethan's voice trembled in both fear and panic. 'Is my Dad dying? No! This can't be. Please, God, help us! Please save my father.' He could only pray in his mind, wishing for the miracle to happen.

'Please don't take my father away from us. Please God.'

"Nate," Jane tried to massage his chest. "I... I can't lose you. Please stay with us." She could no longer hold it in. Her emotions seemed to explode, overwhelming her.

"I will never forgive you if you die on me..." Jane uttered, her voice barely audible.

Nathan still managed to smile, his hand reaching out to caress her face. "My Shining Star... stop crying already." He leaned over as he kissed her tears away.

Nathan could feel that he was already short of breath. With the constriction of his heart, he started to lose oxygen, his vision becoming blurry as if he was going to pass out anytime soon.

With all his might, Nathan tried to fight the dizziness as he wanted to look at Jane's face for a longer time.

"Jane, I wanna hear it... tell me... Do you love me?" Sweating profusely, Nathan was now having difficulty speaking.

Jane's tears streamed down like a flowing river. "I love you, you dumb fool! You are the only man I have ever loved... in my entire life..."

Nathan smiled once more after hearing that, his tears falling from the corners of his eyes.

She leaned over him, clutching his lifeless body, her sobs echoing in the room.

Jane couldn't give up. Desperation surged up, swallowing her whole. She wasn't ready to accept this ending so she fixed Nathan's position on the bed as Jane started to resuscitate Nathan.

With her trembling hands, Jane tilted Nathan's head back and pinched his nose. She pressed her lips to his, supplying him with oxygen through her mouth. She quickly placed her hands over his chest as she began to pump down rhythmically.

"Come on, Nathan," she whispered through gritted teeth. "Come back to me, please... Come back to us!" Each compression was driven by sheer will, hoping for a miracle to happen.

Tears blurred her vision, but she didn't stop. "I need you, Nathan. We need you. Please!" Her words broke into sobs, but she continued pumping his chest and giving him breath.

Minutes felt like hours, her arms growing tired, but Jane pushed through the pain. "You can't leave us, not like this."

"Dad?!" Even Ethan tried to call him, gently tugging his hand. "Dad, please wake up!" His lips quivered as tears spilled down his cheeks non-stop.

Ethan's voice brought Jane back to reality. She gazed at her son, then looked back to her palms and Nathan's face.

'Nathan is gone. He is gone.' Jane finally stopped what she was doing.

She reached for their son, pulling him into her arms, and holding him in a tight embrace. "Daddy... Daddy's gone," she whispered, choking on her own words. "I'm sorry, son..."

They clung to each other, surrounded by an unbearable loss that no words could ever fill.

They were still in the process of mourning for Nathan's death when someone pushed the door open.

"Phantomflake, Die!" A menacing scream was heard followed by the sound of a gunshot.

Bang!
