Capítulo 41: All Over Again

Nicole turned around and left the room while Aston blankly stared at the empty door. Still laying on the bed, he slowly shifted his gaze to the ceilings.

Was this the pain of being rejected? He can't describe the unfamiliar pain that his heart currently went through!

What a cruel woman! How could she push him away after saying that he had moved her heart?! Was that kind of rejection even exist?! It may be the first time he was coldly rejected but he never experienced that kind of absurd rejection in a drama either!

"Useless feelings." He muttered to himself. He thought that she was his only relief from the cruelty of this world but the fact that she was the cruelest among all, doesn't even cross his mind!

How can she easily said that he will be her weakness?! Was she always that heartless?!

Little by little, his broken heart becomes more and more painful until he finds it hard to bear! He had experienced all sorts of pain in this disgusting world but this was different! This unfamiliar pain made him felt like he had lost his way with no way to return!

The moment Nicole stepped out of the hospital room, the calm and nonchalant facade that she wore dropped at once!

An undeniable sadness was formed in her eyes and her body became weak. Pressing her palm against the wall, she slowly turned around and stared at the door to the room.

She realized her feelings for him in the cemetery. Maybe she had always known it but refused to accept it because love was one thing she never wished to experience again. For a woman like her, the beautiful word 'love' only brought sufferings!

"You can blame me and even hate me. But only by doing this, I can protect you. I don't one to see anyone suffer again because of me. I'm only a human too." She muttered and closed her eyes for a few seconds.

Mustering all her strength, she left the floor with her weak and sick body. She proceeds with the discharge procedure and asked the hospital staff to help him in discharging. She then left the hospital right away.

She reached the hotel where she will be staying for the night. Somehow, she didn't want to go home. For now, she wished to have a rest in an unfamiliar place which doesn't contain any of her memories. As such, a hotel was a good choice.

Riding up the elevator to where her hotel room was located, she started to feel the fever that had become serious than before. She told herself that she will take medicines and she will be alright by tomorrow morning.

However, when she walked towards the door to her hotel room, the sight that she witnessed instantly turned her face sour. She tried to ignore the person that was standing beside her door and walked past him.

"Are you alright? I hear about the things that happened in the day." Alex Jo asked as he turned around to face her.

Nicole Yang clenched her fingers. It seemed like everything had already reached the devil's ear again, including her hotel room number. "That's none of your business. Leave. I'm tired." She reached out to the door with her key card and didn't even spare Alex a single glance.

"That woman humiliated you in public. Do you think that the Minister will just sit still?" Alex Jo said and took a step towards her.

Her hand that was holding the key card which was about to be pressed to the door, instantly halted. She withdrew her hands and turned around. "What are you saying?" She asked in a deadly low voice.

"The Minister pulled some strings and ordered her men to put pressure on... Where are you going?!" Alex Jo shouted as he turned around to look at Nicole who was running past him.

Nicole instantly stepped inside the elevator and though she saw that Alex was running behind her, she closed the elevator door at him and left the hotel alone.

She was burning with fever but she didn't care. She must do whatever necessary to stop the devil!

Barging inside her family main mansion, Garcia Han who was calmly sitting on the couch with some documents on her hands first appeared on the scene. When she saw her stepdaughter, she blinked in surprise! It was the first time Nicole came with her own accord! She never wished to set her foot in the house unless she was called.

"What brings you here at this -"

"What did you do to that woman?" Nicole interrupted her before she could even finish her words!

Her stepdaughter's bold action made her eyes grew wide! What had gotten into her?!

"What do you mean?" She asked, feigning ignorance.

"I asked you what you did to that woman!" Nicole shouted. She glanced at Garcia right in the eyes and her eyes were burning with rage!

Garcia Han couldn't believe what she just heard! Her stepdaughter actually yelled at her while maintaining eye contact with her! Even though it happened just now and right before her eyes, she still couldn't believe it.

Nicole Yang walked towards her step-mother and halted when she was just feet away. "I always begged you not to harm others. That woman indeed humiliated me in front of other people. But what's wrong with that? It's not like I don't deserve that." She enunciated each word clearly, showing no signs of backing down.

"That woman humiliated you in public! Your pride and honour are hurt and the same goes for me." Garcia Han retorted.

"Honour?" Nicole scoffed. "How can one's honour be more important than the life of a person?! Besides, do I even have pride in the first place?"

"How dare you say that! You're my daughter whom everyone looks up to! Your reputation is -"

"That woman loses her beloved husband, Mother!" Nicole growled. "How can you still say that as if it was nothing? You're the one who made the order and I am the one who made that happen! Is that nothing to you?"

Garcia Han stared at Nicole who repeatedly made her bewildered just during the course of minutes! When she noticed that Alex had just reached the house and was about to walk forward to amend the situation, she lifted her hand to stop him.

She then shifted her gaze back to Nicole who was still staring at her furiously. She took a step towards her. "Look at me, Nicole. Are you not in your right mind?" She took another step again with her strong and merciless gaze that never left Nicole. "Do you know who you are talking to? Have you already forgotten what I can do to you?"

Once again, she took a step towards Nicole while the latter took a step back. "Do you want me to remind you again? But you know, I never go easy once I started something." Her voice was eerily low which could intimidate everyone.

Nicole's fierce expression gradually disappeared when she heard Garcia Han's voice and threatening words that used to control her ever since she was a child! It was the same voice and tone that used to make her shudder whenever she heard them!

She continuously took a step back while Garcia Han keeps on walking towards her, one step after another. Her eyes that were bravely meeting the devil's eyes just a minute ago, now swept around every corner of the huge house. She looked everywhere, but the devil.

Nicole's back was finally pressed against the wall next to the door after she repeatedly took a step back. Garcia Han was standing just before her while staring at her as if she was about to devour her. It made Nicole nervously clenched her fingers.

Garcia Han's lips curved into a smile when she thought that she had succeeded in turning her rebelled step-daughter to a docile one again. "Tell me now, my daughter. Do you want me to train you all over again?"
