The Price of Eternity Chapter 2

Julian's words shocked me.

They also explained everything I was suffering now.

So he really didn't care about my money, but he didn't love me either!

I thought I could break my immortality in this lifetime, but I failed at the last step.

Julian was terrifyingly cold. Even seeing me cut open, a bloody mess, he could calmly stand by the operating table holding my hand, his thumb stroking my palm.

My entire body rejected his touch, on the verge of fainting from the pain.

Julian continued to talk about his and Bella's hardships.

"I took Bella everywhere, sought many famous doctors, but there was no hope. Bella suffered so much, cried in my arms countless times. Only I understand her pain."

"I promised her I would save her. I swore to find a way! I really can't watch her die. Do you know? She is like the sun in my world. Without her, my world loses all light."

"Mia, after I found out you were an Immortal, I had a strong premonition. I felt you could save her! I felt you could change our lives!"

So he didn't even give me anesthesia?

And he lied to me for three years!

These three years were just to get close to me, to gain my trust, and then use my organs to save Bella.

How could he do this?

I screamed, losing my composure in front of him for the first time, cursing wildly.

Although I knew death was a common occurrence in my life, something trivial to me.

But I couldn't accept this reality.

I'd rather he approached me for my money than for this reason.

The double agony made me lose my mind. My spasms worsened, limbs twisting into terrifying angles, but Julian held me down firmly.

Julian kept talking, trying to comfort me, but none of his words were human.

"Mia, just endure it a bit longer! Just hold on! I know you've died many times, experienced all kinds of pain. This is just another one, bear with it and it'll pass."

"I know you've been looking for a way to break your immortality. This time I'm helping you, and you're helping me. Isn't this a win-win?"

"You help me save Bella, and I help you end this absurd immortality. Afterwards, I will continue to love you, remember you forever, letting you live on in Bella's body in another way, okay?"

I looked at him coldly, biting my tongue until I spat a mouthful of blood.

Julian, afraid I would bite my tongue off and kill myself, actually stuck his hand in my mouth for me to bite.

"Don't be scared, Mia, be good, don't be scared. I'll stay by your side. Just hold on. The doctor said not using anesthesia ensures better organ adaptation, that's why it hurts. It'll be over soon!"

His affectionate act, for a moment, made me feel like I was in labor, giving birth to our child.

But it was all an illusion. I knew better than anyone.

I sneered, exhausting the last bit of trust I had in others.

I bit down hard on his hand, spat blood in his face, and growled:

"Since you know I'm an Immortal, do you know what happens when someone accepts an Immortal's flesh and blood? I advise you to stop now! Or you won't be able to bear the consequences!"
