Chapter 1730
How could he have done something so stupid?
A lump formed in Ariana’s throat, and tears began to flow, blurring her sight.
She never wanted Holden to sacrifice himself for love.
She just wanted him to be well.
Now that they were both dead, their children were without their parents.
Just then, Holden felt a movement and slowly opened his eyes, his brow furrowed.
Seeing Ariana’s opened eyes filled him with joy.
She was finally awake!
However, Holden was a bit puzzled.
Why was she looking at him as if he were a stranger?
Had she lost her memory?

“Ariana…” Unease showed in Holden’s voice as he asked gently, “Do you remember me?”
Ariana and Holden stared at each other, both a bit confused.
Ariana narrowed her eyes, taking in her environment.
Then, in a flat voice, she asked, “Am I dead?”
“Dead?” Holden paused, absorbing her question.
Then, he understood something and quickly comforted her.
He gently touched her forehead and said, “No, you’re not dead.
You’re very much alive.
Mitchel saved you.
”
Ariana stared at him, her expression vacant, as if her soul had left her body.
She vividly remembered the strange sensations that had wracked her body before, causing intense pain, her body curling in agony.
Her blood had felt like it had exploded inside her, her face seeming to shrivel as it dried up.
She had opened her mouth to scream, but strangely, no sound had come out.
As fear and despair had taken over, everything around her had seemed to slow down.
Her eyelids had dropped shut involuntarily, her blood circulation slowed, and she had felt alternating waves of extreme heat and cold.
These were the signs of death.
It seemed that Holden understood what Ariana was thinking about.
Knowing she doubted she had survived, he explained patiently, “The drug Moss gave you was phenomenal.
It doesn’t kill; rather, it puts you into a deep state of shock.
