-And I? Did I keep my promise? I should be helping you, not taking revenge on you. But I want you to know that even though I behaved terribly, I still loved you, but I decided that I wouldn't let love control me anymore... it wasn't the first time that I was disappointed... Please forgive me... I was stupid , I should respect you more. But I wasn't mad at you, just at myself... for always letting you down, for always failing. - she said with the last of her strength, falling more and more to the ground from exhaustion. Gabriel placed her in his arms. - Emilie's still not here. A promise not fulfilled. But I appreciate that despite the feelings you have for Emilie, you still tried for me...
-You too. Doesn't that count for more? - he asked, crying, and then placed a gentle but velvety kiss on her weak, pale lips.
-It's lovely... Even when I was in such great mourning for Emilie, you decided to give me this pleasure before my death... thank you... I've always dreamed of touching your lips... You have a heart of gold... - Mayura's head she fell weakly onto Hawkmoth's chest. She started breathing very fast, almost running out of breath. The man grabbed her hand and she squeezed his.
-But you won't die! - he shouted with a grimace on his face caused by crying.
-Thank you for that kiss, you don't even love me, you don't return my feelings and you did it for me, you are a wonderful person...
-Mayura! I'll fix everything! I promise! I swear! - He looked into her tearful eyes. One was open, the other slightly closed. The chest made short, almost invisible movements.
-There's no need... It's already too late... - she said her last words. Black spots appeared before her eyes, then the whole image blurred, and then there was only darkness. Her head fell limply off Hawkmoth's chest.
-It's never too late for love. - he whispered, but she couldn't hear it anymore. She died. The heart stopped beating. And yes, she didn't have a heart. Her hand that was holding his relaxed, that was the end of the hug. Now his hand was free, and hers lay dead next to it. There was no longer a pulse, no movement, no sound of blood pulsing in the veins. He would never feel the touch of her hand again.
-You're finally calm, you've relaxed, but that's not what I had in mind... And I didn't even have time to tell you how I feel... - he said to her dead body. And then he lay down on her lifeless breasts and began to sob loudly.
-Dad... - Cat Noir grabbed Hawk Moth's arm.
-A-Adrien...?
-If we take her to the Miraculous Guardian now, maybe we can save her.
They quickly went to Master Fu, who easily repaired the peacock miraculous and Nathalie's health.
-She won't be fully healthy right away, it takes time. - the man explained. - But he will recover soon. Take care of her. And be patient.
In return for the help, all the miraculouses appeared in his box again.
Gabriel sat next to the sick Nathalie and held her hand. Suddenly the woman slowly started to open her eyes. Gabriel quickly threw his arms around her neck. He embraced her with a feeling like never before in his life. The woman coughed.
-I'm so glad you're back... I was afraid you wouldn't wake up. - he confessed. In the end, she slept for three days. Nathalie still didn't understand how she was alive. -Really? Are you happy? - she asked with self-contempt.
-Of course.
-And how? Were you able to revive Emilie? - she asked indifferently.
-Yes. He's downstairs in the kitchen.
-That's... good... I'm very happy... at least I managed to do it... hmm... one success... I wish you luck... - she replied sadly and stood up. She staggered to the closet and started packing her things.
-May I know what you're doing?
-I'm packing.
-Are you going somewhere? In this state you should probably stay in bed. - the woman looked at her boss up and down, and then went back to packing the blouse into the suitcase.
-There's nothing for me here. What will I say to Emilie when I look her in the eye after my confessions to you? How will I look you in the eye?
