Chapter 630

Lacey’s face drained from color as Zeke narrated the incident to her.

Finally, she sighed. “Well, they always say you can know a man’s face, but never his heart. I can’t believe Mance Raider is such a devil. He looked so gentlemanly and courteous!”

“He might have a gilded appearance, but he is rotten on the inside. Zeke, you’re still the best. You see past everything,” Lacey stated.

Zeke smiled and responded, “Well, if I didn’t have good judgment, I would never have found such a wonderful wife like you.”

“Sheesh!” Lacey blushed slightly.

“Come, let’s go look for Nancy,” she continued.

Zeke drove the two of them. They arrived at their destination very quickly.

One could not mistake Nancy Hinton, who sat alone at the entrance of the Provincial Military District.

Her eyes were swollen and red; it was obvious she had been crying. Her vision was still glued to the district’s entrance. She stared at the gates without blinking for even a moment.

Her clothes had been drenched by the morning dew, making her look so pitiful.

Lacey’s heart ached for her. She walked over quickly and pulled Nancy into an embrace, stroking her head as she comforted, “Nancy, you must have suffered a lot.”

Nancy could control herself no longer and bawled loudly when she saw her cousin.

Lacey frowned slightly and chided, “Nancy, this ‘hero’ of yours is too unreliable. He doesn’t even want to meet you after you waited for him for a whole night. What a ruthless man.”

Zeke Williams stood beside, speechless.

I suppose I am getting attacked without doing anything.

Nancy quickly jumped to his defense, however. “Lacey, you can’t talk about him like that. It’s all my fault, my fault!”

As she spoke, tears flowed down her cheeks again as she wailed loudly.

“Lacey, do you think he is angry with me? I mistook someone else for him and even spent time alone with that man. But Mance never touched me. I’m innocent! Does my savior hate me now? Does he dislike me? Does he not want me anymore?”

Meanwhile, Zeke felt rather helpless and was at a loss for words. He had no choice but to send Sole Wolf a message with some instructions.

After a while, a soldier walked to the gates upon Sole Wolf’s orders.

He saluted upon seeing Nancy and greeted, “Good day, Ma’am!”

“I’m here on my superior’s orders. He told me to let you know he’s out for an emergency mission and has been out since last night. Hence, he won’t be able to meet you. He told me to inform you that he will meet you in seven days.”

“Before that, you must take good care of yourself. My superior has also asked the chef to prepare this breakfast for you,” the soldier reported.

Ah!

Nancy’s tears turned into tears of joy upon hearing this.

This soldier treats me so respectfully!

He even brought me such a nutritious breakfast on his superior’s orders.

This meant that the ‘hero’ was not angry at her and even acknowledged her as one of his!

It was the best news she had heard all day.

Nancy nodded enthusiastically and said, “Thank you. Please let my hero know that I will take good care of myself. He should do the same too!”

Lacey heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that Nancy was finally willing to leave.

She was previously worried that Nancy would not listen to her.

On their way out, Nancy held onto the breakfast, looking extremely excited.

Lacey asked, “Nancy, didn’t your hero prepare that breakfast for you? Why aren’t you eating it?”

“Lacey, this is the first gift my hero has gifted me. How can I eat it?” Nancy laughed like a silly girl.

“I have to treasure it for a lifetime!”

Lacey shook her head as she sighed, “I really suppose no one can cure this obsession of yours with him.”

Turning her head to look at Zeke, Nancy said apologetically, “Uh...Zeke, I was a little overboard yesterday. Please don’t take it to heart.”

Zeke remarked, “Do you think an apology will do it? Don’t you know that my weak soul was severely hurt by your words?”

Instantly, Nancy commented, “Williams, that’s enough. Don’t be so ungrateful, alright? You should be forever indebted by the fact that I, a Hinton, am apologizing to you now, alright? Take it as a blessing.”

“Also, I didn’t even come after you for what you did. What makes you think you can act so unforgivingly?” She scoffed.

Zeke was puzzled, “What did I do that would have made you come after me?”
