Chapter 427: You Don’t Understand Me, Do You?
Chapter 427: You Don’t Understand Me, Do You?
“Don’t follow me.” Nathan closed the door, went out of the yard, and bolted the bamboo door from the outside.
“Nathan Davis! Open the door!” Crystal shook the door but failed to open it.
Finding that there’s a road in the garden next by, Crystal carefully stepped on the small mud road and stopped Nathan at the intersection.
Nathan stopped, warning her severely, “I warned you, do not follow me!”
However, Crystal didn’t shrink back. “I’m stubborn. I won’t easily give up the decision I made and the person I love. Especially you, Nathan Davis, you’re mine.
Don’t imagine you can get rid of me.”
Nathan’s facial expression stiffened.
He glanced over the high straw at her with deep eyes.
A gust of wind blew, straw and wildflowers fluttered with the rain.
After looking at Crystal for a while, Nathan went on walking forward. Crystal hurriedly kept in step with him.
He walked up to the main road, with Crystal following him.
Then he walked to the trunk and took out the tools.
Wherever Nathan went, Crystal followed him closely.
After he opened the trunk to take a tool, he turned around and accidentally bumped into Crystal.
He pushed her away gently but coldly and then walked to the front of the car.
“What’s wrong?” Crystal started the conversation again.
However, Nathan was not willing to talk with her.
He answered perfunctorily, “The engine.” After fiddling with the engine with the tools, Nathan sat in the driver’s seat to see if he could start it.
Crystal hastened to sit in the front passenger seat, afraid of being left behind.
She acted fast and nimbly as if she hadn’t been pregnant.
“Crystal Smith, do you know you’re really annoying?” Nathan rubbed his hair impatiently.
“You finally know how I felt. I used to think you were annoying, but I won’t from now on. I’ve decided to follow you no matter what happens. Even if it’s a dead-end, a wrong path, I’ll walk it down even if I would be badly hurt. with you without regret.”
“Get the f**k off the car! I don’t want to see you again!” Nathan roared in anger.
“It’s raining outside, and the wind is strong. I know you won’t do that to me.”
“Get out of here! I don’t want to see you for a minute!”
“Liar, you wished to see me every minute before!”
“As you said, that’s the past tense,” Nathan stared at her in disgust, “look at you, you’re no different from an ordinary woman. Why do you think I like you?”
Crystal bit her lips hard; her lips were getting pale because of losing blood.
She’s at wit’s end and was now feeling as humble as the soil on the ground.
She gave a bitter smile and said, “After your recovery, you can dump me. If you think I’m not worthy of your love, I’ll leave and will not bother you again.”
Nathan punched on the steering wheel to vent his emotion, and a sharp horn sounded in the empty road.
“Trade your freedom with your health, what a deal!”
Slowly, Nathan put down his hand. He pulled back the seat and started to repair the pedal.
Crystal turned to look out of the window. There’s a stinging feeling in her heart.
Perhaps because of the restless mind, the repair was not going smoothly.
He fiddled with the pedal and violently kicked it a few times, making the car alarm sound.
“Stop it! Your foot will get hurt!”
“Get off!”
“Nathan, what on earth are you fearful of and worried about?
“I’m asking you to get off!”
“I know you’ve never been a chicken, but why? Tell me, why aren’t you willing to do the operation and accept treatments?”
Nathan’s eyes turned scarlet, he glowered at Crystal and yelled, snarling a threat, “I told you to get off, immediately!”
“Have you made any deal with your father?” Crystal seemed not afraid of his rage. She gazed at him as if she could see the answer from his eyes.
“Does he know you’re sick?”
“He doesn’t know, does he? You didn’t tell him, right?”
There should be no father in the world who watches his son fall ill and does nothing.
“You don’t understand me, do you?” Nathan shouted in a broken voice, “Get the fuck off the car!”
“Fine, I can get off, and then?” Crystal fixed her eyes on him, “When on earth can you stop deceiving yourself?”
Crystal felt the air in the car so depressed that she could hardly breathe.
She lowered her eyes and said, “If you don’t tell me the reason, I can only find the answer myself. And if you don’t mind, I’ll tell your father about your illness.”
After she finished speaking, she opened the car door.
However, Nathan grabbed her hand and asked, “Where are you going to look for him?”
“Isn’t he at the manor? I know the way.”
“Humph! Do you think you can see him as long as you want?”
“You’re right. But I don’t think I don’t have a chance. You won’t know the result if you don’t try, right?”
“Crystal Smith!” Nathan gave a low roar.
Crystal could feel his patience was taxed to the limit from his roaring.
“What extent do you want to force me to?”
“I’ve never forced you; it’s just that you keep running away. Escaping will never solve problems, why don’t we face it together?”
Nathan gave her a black look without saying anything.
A moment later, he forced his eyes closed and his anger down.
He stepped on the clutch, trying to start the engine, but nothing happened.
It seemed that they had no way to leave here temporarily.
Finally, Nathan had to give up. He turned on the roof of the car. The rain had stopped.
Nathan looked up at the clear sky, feeling the cool breeze. All the troubles seemed to have been temporarily brought away by the wind.
There’s also something sparkling in Crystal's eyes.
She rested on the back of the chair, looking at the blue sky as Nathan did.
“Now that we can’t leave today, why do we have to push each other away? Isn’t it better to enjoy the precious time being together?
There are only us here, no one knows where we are, and thus I won’t have any life danger. Why do you insist on driving me away?”
There’s a long silence in the car.
Since Nathan did not speak, Crystal had no idea how to proceed with the conversation.
The air in the car grew more and more oppressive.
Crystal finally couldn’t stand it.
She pushed open the door, saying, “I’m going for a walk.”
Nathan failed to fix his car and could not leave, making Crystal feel relieved.
She walked towards the field full of wildflowers.
Nathan was lost in thought, watching Crystal lean back in the rear-view mirror.
He had vowed to protect her; he had promised to give her a lifetime of happiness, but it turned out that he was the one who had to leave her first.
His bloodshot eyes seemed to be oozing blood in the next second.
“Since we can’t leave today, why do we have to push each other away? Isn’t it better to enjoy the precious time being together?”
Crystal's words lingered in his ears.
Yes, even if there’s only one day, one hour, one minute, or even just one second left, only enjoying the last happy time with Crystal would not leave a regret.
Thinking so, Nathan jerked up and got out of the car, following along with the footprints of Crystal.
In the distance, Crystal was walking on a wet stone path. She suddenly crouched on the side of the track, absorbed in watching something.
A burst of wind blew through the field, Crystal slightly swung with the wind.
She looked so thin and weak.
Nathan’s heart sank suddenly.
He strode towards her, pulled her up, and took her into his arms overbearingly.
Crystal's eyes brightened with surprise, then she closed her eyes with a smile, enjoying being surrounded by Nathan’s burning breath.
“What were you doing here?” Nathan asked.
There’s a little purple unknown wildflower in Crystal's hand.
“You’ve given me a lot of flowers, but I’ve never given you one,” Crystal said softly.
