Chapter 816 The Deadline

Otherwise, Colin wouldn't fly to London this time. He then suddenly realized that he could still love Mandy in his own way, and it was okay that he didn't possess her, or that Mandy loved him back. All that mattered was that Mandy was happy, and so with that, he could also be happy.

Serge squinted his eyes and asked Colin, "Which one is more pitiful? Being separated from the one you love after being together, or never being able to be with the one you love?"

Serge's question was something both he and Colin were experiencing. They could not have Mandy because she already had Nathan. What was worse was that they could not even hate Nathan because he was taking good care of her. All they could do then was watch her from a distance. Even if Mandy wasn't protected by them directly, at least it looked like she was living a happy life.

Colin chuckled for a moment at how much that question struck him. Then, he lowered his voice and said, "Honestly? Both are pitiful. We can't get the person we love."

Hearing this answer, Serge found it funny and suddenly laughed. "True, but that's love, isn't it? A rational man would be mesmerized and attracted by her so that the moment you looked at her, you would not even dare approach her. Maybe, that's what we did wrong.

Someone told me before that the first reaction to falling in love with a person was to feel inferior," Serge said thoughtfully. When Colin and Serge first met Mandy, their immediate impression was that Mandy was out of their league and that they did not deserve her.

However, Nathan had thought otherwise. He had never felt inferior, and he had his eyes on Mandy ever since the moment he first fell in love with her. With that, Nathan acted on this feeling and made sure he would possess Mandy.

"Well, are you going to live like this for the rest of your life?" Serge asked as soon as he calmed down from laughing.

Colin thought about it for a moment before shaking his head. In a low voice, he said, "To be honest, no. I can't imagine living a life just depending on the happiness of the person I love and can't have. I'll surely live my life happily and find a person that suits me."

"Have you already thought of what type of person will suit you?" Serge looked at Colin intently as he asked eagerly. He admitted to himself that he was really inexperienced in love, so he thought to grab this chance to consult Colin.

"Of course, you will feel comfortable with that person to the point that you can show all the different masks you are wearing every day. You also have this assurance in your heart that even if you show your most vulnerable side, she will still stay and make you feel better. When you think of her, you will catch yourself off guard, feeling warmth in your heart. You will a

ts affairs. After all, he had been working for JS International ever since it was founded. He was there, and he had gone through fire and water all these years along with the company. As for the fake diamond scandal, it was fortunately under control for now, but the stock price of the company had uncontrollably plummeted.

"We will know tomorrow. I already gave him a week to work on it," Nathan replied in a cold tone.

"But, what if... What if he still hasn't worked out on an antidote yet?" Thinking about this, Mandy became very nervous. She was really afraid that Ouyang wouldn't be able to find the antidote. After all, this was the key to save her son's life.

"Well then, it will be the last time he will see the light of day. If anything happens to Adrian, I swear I won't be able to stop myself from killing all the people who hurt him," Nathan said without hesitation. At that moment, his face was still cold, but his heart sank. He sounded tough and serious, and for sure, he wasn't joking at all.

Mandy glanced at Nathan and knew that he had meant what he had said. She had been with Nathan for a long while now, so she knew what kind of person he was when hurt.

Mandy then lowered her head. As a doctor herself, she knew that they were responsible for saving lives, but that didn't mean they could save everyone's life. Moreover, what Adrian had contracted wasn't any common disease that could be treated easily. It was something that was specially designed and experimented on.

Back when Mandy was a college student, she had to memorize and study stacks of books with more than 600 pages each, but that was not enough to stomp her ambitions or will to keep going despite the challenges. However, even if she had made it passed medical school and finally earned her title, she was very aware still that she was not omnipotent.
