When her fingers finally touched his face, a cold sensation was transmitted through her fingertips.
His face was so cold!
âItâs so good to see you in my dreams,â she said. âIf this is a dream, I hope it can last a little longer.â
âItâs not a dreamâ¦this isnât a dream, itâs me, I found you, I finally found you!â Mick said, gently pressing Nancyâs hand back and rubbing his cheek in her palm.
âNancy, I finally found youâ¦youâre alive, itâs good that youâre alive, itâs good that youâre aliveâ¦â A choked voice came from his throat.
Two clear tears fell from the corners of his eyes, wetting her hand.
Nancy was stunned, staring blankly at the person who was so close.
The sensation in her palm was so real.
Is this really not a dream? Is itâ¦reality?!
Nancy originally thought that even if someone from Emerald City came looking for her, it would most likely be the police or someone from the Reed family.
But she didnât expect Mick to come in person, and evenâ¦cry in front of her!
This kind of Mick was beyond her previous imagination.
The next day, Nancy was still in shock as she looked at the Reed family who appeared in her hospital room.
Not only Mick, but also Mickâs parents, Jasper, and William came to visit her.
Jasper was particularly emotional and tearful. âNancy, itâs great that youâre alive. You have no idea how hard weâve been looking for you for the past five months!â
Nancy didnât know if she should be amazed or not.
From last night until now, she had already seen two members of the Reed family cry!
This situation was not something that many people could have predicted.
âIâm sorry, I was unconscious before and didnât know you were looking for me,â Nancy said.
âDonât apologize, I should be the one apologizing!â Jasper said. âIf it werenât for me being so useless, you wouldnât have had to jump like that. You jumped to save me!â
Jasper said seriously, âNancy, from now on, no matter what happens, I will stand by your side. If you have any difficulties, I will help you solve them!â
âNoâ¦thereâs no need for that. Anyway, Irene didnât plan to let me go that day. I just didnât want to let her off the hook!â Nancy quickly said.
Jasperâs promise was too precious and not something she could accept.
âEven if Irene didnât plan to let you go, the fact is that you saved Jasper from danger,â Jason said. âThe Reed family owes you a great debt of gratitude and we will naturally repay you.â
Nancy bit her lip. âYouâve already done so much for me by letting me stay in this great hospital and having expert doctors diagnose me. Iâm very grateful, and I donât need anything else.â
âIs that so?â Jason said. âYou can ask for a lot, even if you want a share of the Reed familyâs stocks.
âNo, no!â Nancy quickly refused. âIâ¦I just want to get better and be able to leave the hospital smoothlyâ¦thatâs all.â
Jason said, âOnce your health improves, we will arrange for you to receive better treatment in Emerald City.
Plus, it will be easier for Mick to take care of you there.â
âGo back to Emerald City?â Nancy was taken aback. After a moment of silence, she said, âThank you for your kindness, but I donât plan on going back to Emerald City.â
