Chapter 77

Chapter 77 Nancy, I’m Sorry Hearing that, Nicholas immediately lifted the quilt, When he saw that Nancy’s entire leg was covered in bruises and bloodstains, his eyes instantly turned cold.

At the same time, he was filled with deep self-blame.

Damn it! How did he not notice that she had suffered such serious injuries?

Hearing that there was no reply over there, Linda was a bit anxious. “Hey, Nicholas, you’re not going to tell me that you still don’t know that Nancy got hurt, are you?”

“It was my negligence.” Nicholas didn’t intend to make excuses or deny it.

Even though she was about to get angry, Linda still suppressed her anger and asked, “So you also have no idea what happened during the day today?”

“Make it clear. What happened during the day? Weren’t you guys shopping?”

Nicholas’ heart immediately tensed up, and he had a faint sense of impending trouble.

“Who said accidents can’t happen while shopping? It’s because we were shopping that it was. dangerous. Nancy and I were having a great time today, but we ran into your ex-girlfriend and your sister on our way back.”

“Did they bully Nancy?” Nicholas asked.

“With me around, they didn’t dare to, but Nicholas, I suggest you better talk to your sister. Who gave her the right to charge at Nancy like that?”

“What happened later? What happened? How did she get injured?”

“Later, my whereabouts were leaked, and fans surrounded us, mostly antis. I asked Nancy to leave first, but the situation got out of control when she was leaving. She fell for several minutes, and I’m sure she got stepped on by people. Later, I heard that someone saved her, or else Nancy would have...

Linda left the rest of the words unsaid, allowing Nicholas to contemplate on his own.

Looking at the bruises and injuries on Nancy’s legs, Nicholas couldn’t help but feel a deep sense. of guilt.

His heart suddenly clenched.

Thinking about everything she went through at the scene, Nicholas was overwhelmed with deep.

1/4 self-blame and regret.

He had just misunderstood her moments ago. Nicholas, you’re such a fool.

In a daze, Nancy felt like someone was gripping her leg, giving her a massage.

It was warm and comforting. It felt enjoyable.

The injured area also felt a cool sensation, no longer the burning pain it had been.

However, she was too tired and couldn’t even open her eyes to take a look.

Or perhaps all of this was just a dream.

In dreams, there are often many beautiful things.

But once you open your eyes, everything disappears.

After the massage, Nicholas applied some medicine to Nancy’s injuries. He covered the scratches. and bloodstains with band-

aids.

Looking at the bruised and marked skin on her otherwise fair and smooth legs, Nicholas felt a pang of distress in his heart.

At this moment, Lynn’s call came in. “Mr. Sallow, I just found out that Mrs. Sallow was indeed surrounded in the mall, and the situation was out of control. Are you sure you want to see?”

“Yes,” Nicholas responded with a single syllable.

“Alright, I’ll send it to you.”

Lynn selected a segment of the video, from when Linda and Nancy were surrounded to when Nancy left the mall Nicholas’ hand gently tapped the play button as he watched the paused video on his phone.

screen.

The video was very noisy, with people all around, creating a chaotic scene.

It was not an exaggeration to say that there was a lot of noise and commotion in the video.

Only Linda and Nancy sat alone in the restaurant, without anyone else.

Later, as Linda mentioned, she sent a group of people to protect Nancy as she left. However, there were too many fans, and the situation became extremely chaotic. Even though Nancy was being. protected, she was quickly surrounded by the crazed fans after taking just a few steps.

It was at this moment that Nancy fell.

2/4 “Nancy...”

When he saw those people’s feet, madly trampling on Nancy’s legs and feet, some even stepping across her legs, Nicholas shouted in pain.

Suddenly, he turned off the phone.

He didn’t dare to continue watching.

He lit a cigarette, and the smoke quickly curled around him. His face was soon hidden in the dimly lit haze of smoke.

When he threw away the cigarette, he muttered a curse under his breath, berating himself for not being humane.

He had no idea that she had endured so much, and as her husband, he failed to share her burden. and doubted and even hurt her.

Back in the room, Nicholas lifted the quilt and immediately got into bed.

When he saw Nancy’s petite body tightly curled up in the corner of the bed, he felt a pang heartache and gently pulled her into his arms.

of Bowing his head, he kissed Nancy’s forehead, overwhelmed with remorse. “Nancy, I’m sorry.”

Unfortunately, Nancy couldn’t hear these words.

She also couldn’t see the expression on his face at this moment.

When Nancy woke up in the morning, she was in a warm embrace.

She lifted her head, and upon seeing the familiar face of Nicholas, she immediately pushed herself away from his embrace, putting some distance between them.

Feeling her push him away, Nicholas immediately pulled Nancy back into his embrace.

Nancy was taken aback as she looked at him. She thought Nicholas was still asleep, but little did she know he had already woken up. It was just his eyes that were closed.

Three minutes later, Nancy got up again.

But this time, as soon as she moved a bit, her hands were grabbed by Nicholas and placed under the blanket.

He reached out and held her even tighter, his deep voice was incredibly seductive. “Uhm, I’m so tired. Stay with me for a little longer.”

Nancy immediately stopped moving and obediently held herself in his embrace.

3/4 However, after thinking for a moment, she raised her head and looked at the man in front of her. “Nicholas, do you know who I am? Have you mistaken me for someone else?”

“I know, I haven’t mistaken you,” Nicholas replied.

But knowing that, why was he still holding her so tightly?

Didn’t he get angry and hateful just last night?

Must he have been half asleep, which is why he’s holding her to tightly, so intimately.

“Nicholas, you better open your eyes and see clearly I’m Nancy, not Madelline.”

As soon as Nancy finished her words, Nicholas suddenly opened his eyes.

His eyes were slightly tired, possibly due to waking up, giving him a half-asleep appearance. His narrow, almond-shaped eyes looked particularly charming.

“I know, you’re Nancy. His voice was so committed.

Nancy looked at him. At that moment, she thought that the person he loved was herself.

But soon, she snapped out of it.

She didn’t know what Nicholas meant by this. He was always like this, punishing and giving affection simultaneously.

But Nicholas, I’m not a child anymore. Now, no amount of sweetness can soothe my bitter heart.

Closing her eyes, she could still hear those hurtful words echoing in her mind.

One scene after another, all vividly replayed in her mind.

She cared too much. That was why her heart hurt so much as if it were being torn apart.

Suddenly, a pair of arms wrapped around her, and Nicholas leaned in, lowering his head to kiss her eyes gently.

The feeling was like treasuring something dearly.

But it was just a feeling, and Nancy was very clear about that.

“Nancy, I’m sorry.”

Nancy was momentarily stunned, unable to believe what she had just heard. She felt as though her entire body had frozen in place.
