Chapter 683: Don’t
[We’re done talking. We’re done, and we agreed to that mutually.]
Nina wiped her eyes with the back of her hand, reminded of the words she had told him earlier that day. Snapping her eyes back to where Finn was lying, her lips quivered as her heart ached. She clasped his hand tighter, hoping a squeeze was enough to wake him up.

With the beat of his heart heard through a beep and his life being monitored by some lines, she knew it wasn’t enough. Nina held his hand, reaching out to touch his bandaged cheek.
"Finn," she whispered, almost choking on her breath. "Babe... I’m sorry."
If she could have predicted this would happen, she would’ve been kinder with her words. If she had known this would happen, she probably wouldn’t have left him that day.

All she knew was that Finn was probably carrying the weight of what she had told him in that accident.

Nina held her breath, her neck turning taut and her eyes filling with tears. Her vision began to blur again, her sniffles harmonizing with the mechanical noise of the heart monitor.
"Please..." she hiccuped, crying through gritted teeth. "Please don’t do this to me. Not like this, please. Let’s not separate like this."
