Chapter 0590
Nichs walked over and stood behind me, his presence bringing a trace of sunlight and a hint of warmth.
He gently wrapped his arms around my waist. The scent of sunlight was warm and pleasant, but I was inexplicably cold and trembled uncontrobly.
Under udia''s ring, furious eyes, he rested his chin lightly on my shoulder and murmured into my ear, "I''m sorry. I let you suffer too much in the past."
udia let out a piercing scream. "Nick, Nick, won''t you hold me? I have no legs now! I can''t walk anymore! I''ll need you to carry me everywhere, or I won''t survive!"
Nichs turned to her, his tone cold and unyielding. "Then go ahead and die."
Although the words weren''t directed at me, my body shuddered involuntarily. The world seemed to fall silent in that instant.
I was shaken, stunned by udia''s obsessive devotion to Nichs.
Had I misunderstood everything all along? It wasn''t that Nichs couldn''t live without udia-it was udia who couldn''t survive without Nichs.
Thad no siblings and didn''t understand the emotions that could form between two people who grew up together. But this felt far from normal.
Nichs pulled me closer, enveloping me in his embrace. He reached out to smooth the top of my head. "Did that scare you?"
Without waiting for my response, he lifted me effortlessly, carrying me back to the chair he''d upied earlier. I found myself seated on hisp, directly facing udia.
Nichs nudged a bag of items at his feet toward udia. His dark eyes locked on her with a cold intensity. "What else have you done? Tell me all at once."
Years ago, udia and I were in opposite positions. So this was what it felt like to have someone always had my back. It was a strange feeling to see someone else fall from grace.
My heart skipped a beat. The feeling was unfamiliar-so much so that I found myself resisting it.
It took me two seconds to realize what was at Nichs'' feet. My eyes immediately welled up. These were all evidence of udia that had vanished overnight.
There was a recording pen, a spare phone, and a tablet disying several audio files. They included the evidence I had painstakinglypiled of udia orchestrating harassment against me, guiding Zachary''s fans to cyber bully me, and spreading explicit photos of me. I turned to Nichs, seeking confirmation.
He nodded, his jaw clenching. His dark eyes avoided mine as he spoke.
"She said you fabricated everything, and the reason I didn''t investigate wasn''t because I was trying to protect her. I was afraid that if I found out it was all true, I wouldn''t know how to face you. From the beginning, I never wanted to be separated from you.
You can call me selfish or arrogant, but in my mind, you''re my wife. Even if you really did something wrong, I would cover for you and make sure nothing happened to you. So, for me, suppressing everything was the best choice at the time."N?velDrama.Org owns this text.
udia was even less capable of epting his words than I was. "Nick, what are you talking about? You only made things hard for Ariana because you wanted to stand up for me, didn''t you?"
Nichs turned to her. "What I''m doing now is standing up for Ariana."
I closed my eyes gently, and at that moment, it seemed as if I couldn''t hear anything else.
So, it turned out Nichs thought of me this way.
"In your heart, I''ve always been that kind of person."
udia, who had grown up under his watch, was pure and innocent. If someone had to be the bad one, it could only be me.
