Til Death Do Us Part novel Chapter 17

Ryan took the initiative to call Nikki, and said indifferently in front of Iva, "Nikki, do you have time now? If yes, let’s go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to handle the divorce procedure."

At the time, Nikki was sobbing painfully in bed. Her face was pale, sweating when she held the phone hardly. She could not bear the intense pain in her body, and couldn't make any sound while crying. His words were unintentionally driving her into the abyss of hell.

"Have you heard that?" Ryan thought that Nikki didn't speak intentionally, so his tone aggravated a lot. "Nikki, our fate has come to an end. This time, I won't hesitate. Marriage will end sooner or later. So why should we wait ten months later?”

Nikki's voice was hoarse and weak, "Ryan, can't you wait a little?"

"What are you pretending to be, are you sick? Nikki, don't make me think you're so spiritless. It will only make me hate you more." Ryan mocked.

"Have you ever loved me in the past five years? Even if it's just for half a minute." Nikki curled her body. At the most vulnerable moment, the person she wanted to see most was Ryan, but he said he would divorce her. The one she loved would say goodbye to her in this way.

"No, Nikki, don’t be so unrepentant!" Ryan was decisive, and he could no longer have mercy on her. There would be no end to them if he still worried about Nikki.

Without any expectations, Nikki said calmly, "Okay, I'll wait for you at the Civil Affairs Bureau tomorrow."

After that, she was really in pain and, accompanying with Ryan's heartless words, she felt her heart could no longer be ignited. The phone dropped to the ground, at the same time, her eyes closed, the whole person came into a daze.

Waking up again, Nikki was dripping while her body was soft and fluttering, which seemed to die immediately.

Shane sat beside her, crying with red eyes. Nikki wanted to raise her hands to wipe her tears, but was caught by Shane. Shane cried, "Nikki, why don’t you tell me you are sick?Why does this happen suddenly, I think the doctors are lying to me. Nikki, are they lying to me, you are very healthy. How can it be a stomach cancer?”

She and Shane became friends, even like sisters, for a long-time. Nikki was afraid that Shane would be too worried about her while she was pregnant. So Nikki tried to conceal but in the end she couldn't make it.

"Does Ryan know that? He must regret divorcing you!" Shane responded strongly.

Nikki was so calm that she could be still indifferent although facing with the torture of illness . Life was like a flash in the pan. And every time when she imagined that at her most beautiful age she lived a life that was not she wanted, and there was no fear at all.

In this life, she only lived for Ryan, and she was too tired. Maybe death was also a kind of relief. Because it was a kind of relief if she didn’t need to love Ryan.

"Don't tell him, I hope he treats me as a non-existent person." Nikki said.

Nikki smiled bitterly, as pale as white paper. After the divorce, they would not have intersection at all. By then, Ryan would never know she was dead.

Shane burst into tears for what Nikki said, "You are such a fool, if you die, can you still be willing?"

“Shane, you will never understand my feelings in your life. Because you have your husband who loves you so much, and I have only Ryan who loves others. I chased him for thirteen years. It is enough. I'm not as strong as you think, so don't tell him. I don't want to have any relationship. I'm tired. I don't want to be sad for him anymore.” Nikki stated.

Nikki lived for twenty-six years. And there are thirteen years lived for Ryan. A large part of her life was spent on him. In fact, her life was too simple and not strong enough for rejecting all men for Ryan.She knew love, but was a bitter and desperate one. Actually, she wanted to enjoy a love that both loved each other.

"I’m have no chance, I will find a man who loves me in my next life."

Nikki looked down, but then thought of something, and asked, "How long have I been sleeping?"

"You have been sleeping since yesterday. If I hadn't come to your home, no one would have found you being unconscious at home."

Nikki promised to finish the divorce. Seeing that it was late, Nikki stood up hurriedly and pulled the bits out.

Seeing her so excited, Shane hurried to hold her and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Ryan and I have agreed to meet at the Civil Affairs Bureau today. I have to go!"
