My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash and Hera) novel Chapter 2131

"Gale... Gale..."

"Enough now, silly. Stop crying. Your eyes are swollen again... Mr. Melton is doing this for my good. You... shouldn't blame him."

"Don't die, Gale! I beg you..."

Gale wiped Rainie's tears with his right hand, then his hand began to turn to ashes from the fingertips. In just a short moment, half of his hand was corroded.

"You need to live well, okay? Live a good life."

Then, he turned to Clint.

"Mr. Melton, do it."

In an instant, Clint's arm pierced through Gale's chest. Then, Clint withdrew his arm, and sky-blue true energy spread throughout Gale's body.

"Thank you... Mr. Melton... You're truly a kind person."

Gale's arm began to restore itself. The sky-blue true energy replenished the eroded arm and chest, leaving Gale with a complete body.

"My cousin... I entrust her... to you..."

Before he could finish, Gale peacefully closed his eyes.

Rainie cried a lot that day.

Shortly after, Clint, Rainie, Ronan, and others buried Gale. There was no funeral. After burying Gale, Ronan flew back to Gorgeous Country.

That afternoon, Rainie was discharged from the hospital. As they walked down the street, a unique emotion filled the air. Each step closer to each other made them both nervous, and Rainie's face turned red with shyness.

Clint was also extremely nervous. He could clearly hear his own heartbeat. Rainie's pinky finger hooked onto Clint's hand, and Clint grabbed Rainie's hand tightly in one swift move.

He grabbed her so tightly that... "Ouch! It hurts!" Rainie's hand turned red from the grip.

Only then did Clint realize he had used too much force.

"Sorry, I'm sorry..."

Rainie extended her hand again, and this time, they held hands gently as they walked forward together.
