Mr. Sallow's Sinful Wife

Chapter 222

Chapter 222 Sweet Intimacy

Nicholas’ gaze darkened as he spoke, “It’s not urgent. I’ll take the call after we finish eating.”

Nancy hummed in response.

After they finished their meal, Nicholas’ phone rang again while Nancy went to the kitchen.

He frowned and reluctantly answered the call.

On the other end, his assistant’s voice came through quickly. “Mr. Sallow, Ms. Madelline’s condition is not looking good. She has been in a coma, and it doesn’t seem like she’s willing to wake up.”

“What did the doctor say?”

The doctor said that if she doesn’t wake up in the next two days, there might be no hope of recovery. They suggested we find people who can touch her and spend time with her, talk to her, call out to her, and try to awaken her will to live. This might be her only chance.”

After hanging up the phone, Nicholas leaned against the railing.

His heart felt heavy, and he could hardly catch his breath.

After some hesitation, he called Lynn. “Get me a plane ticket for tomorrow.”

“Mr. Sallow, your wounds haven’t fully healed yet. You need rest,” Lynn said.

“It’s okay. Just buy the ticket.”

Nicholas lit a cigarette and took a deep drag.

As he was about to take the second puff, he suddenly felt a tightening around his waist. Nancy had wrapped her arms around him from behind.

“What are you doing standing here?” She held him and smiled happily.

“The weather is nice, so I’m enjoying the view here,” Nicholas responded.

“Oh.”

She nodded and suddenly moved closer before gently snitting.

Then, she turned her head and immediately saw Nicholas’ hand hanging by his side and the cigarette he was holding

She reached out and took the cigarette from his hand unabashedly.

At the same time, she pouted and said. “Your wounds haven’t fully healed, and you’re smoking’ Do you want to harm your own body?”

Nicholas laughed and replied. “You’re such a busybody”

“Oh. So, you don’t want me to manage things. Okay, then. I won’t.” Nancy finished speaking and deliberately turned around while pretending to be angry.

Sure enough. Nicholas immediately grabbed her and pulled her into his arms effortlessly.

At the same time, he lowered his head and his beard lightly brushed against Nancy’s head as he chuckled. “I’ll only let you manage things, not anyone else. You’re my little busybody.”

“That works.”

Nicholas used his beard to brush against her head again, and she immediately burst into laughter while avoiding his playful advances.

He hadn’t shaved in the past two days because he had been in the hospital, and his beard was indeed a bit prickly.

However, as soon as he teased her, Nancy couldn’t resist and laughed while playfully pleading. “Ah! It’s tickling me. Nicholas, it tickles! Let me go!”

“Is it really itchy?”

After teasing her for a while, he finally let go.

She immediately grabbed his hand and said, “The view is nice here, but the balcony is quite windy and you’ve just been discharged from the hospital. It’s not good to be out here in the wind. Let’s go inside. and rest.”

“Okay.” Nicholas nodded.

During the afternoon nap, he lifted the covers and pulled Nancy into the bed.

Her face instantly turned red and she said, “Nicholas, your body hasn’t fully recovered yet. You need rest. It’s not appropriate to-”

Upon hearing her words and seeing the expression on her face, he immediately understood that she was thinking in a different direction.

However, he didn’t explain right away and instead teased her. “Not appropriate for what?”

“Not… not appropriate for… physical activity.”

She blushed even more when she finished the last few words.

Nicholas hugged her tightly and his sensual voice whispered in her ear gently. “Oh? I just wanted to take a nap while holding you. You’re thinking of something else, huh? It seems like you’re already a bit impatient.”

Once he said those words, Nancy’s face turned even redder.

She reached out and playfully punched him with her small fist while saying. “You’re such a bad boy. It’s not like I’m in a hurry.”

“Who was the one talking about physical activities just now?”

“I I-L. L.” Nancy stammered as she was unable to find the right words.

In the end, she could only tug at his clothes and bury herself shyly in his embrace. Above her head, she could hear his hearty laughter once again.

A moment later, she felt Nicholas hugging her tightly and saying, “Let’s take a nap.”

She opened her eyes only when she heard his steady breathing from above.

She looked at him and closed her eyes again. Then, she quickly fell asleep in his arms.

When they woke up, it was already afternoon.

The wind outside moved the curtains gently.

Soft sunlight streamed into the room, casting a golden glow over everything.

On the bed, the two of them were quietly embracing each other. It was a picture of exquisite beauty.

Nancy tried to get up, but Nicholas held tightly onto her waist. “Stay with me for a little longer.”

“Haven’t you slept enough?”

“Well, it’s comfortable holding you and I want to sleep a bit more.” Nicholas’ voice was slightly hoarse and very sensual. This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

She hugged his waist and said sweetly, “Yes, sir. I’ll stay with you a little longer.”

“Good girl.”

The two of them lingered in bed for a while, and when they finally got up, it was already around 4.00PM or 5.00PM.

Nicholas checked his phone and saw that he had received Lynn’s message a while ago.

Lynn said that the plane tickets had been booked for 9.00PM..

With Nancy in his arms, Nicholas rested his head on her shoulder and whispered, “I want to eat the cake you made for me.”

Does he want to eat cake?

She was a bit surprised. “But you said you don’t like desserts, right?”

“I don’t love them, but when I’m holding you, it feels sweet and I want to taste something sweet that you love.”

“Okay. Get up quickly then, and we’ll go buy the ingredients. I’ll make it for you.”

“Don’t we have the ingredients at home?” Nicholas asked.

“We do, but they’ve been sitting for a while. Let’s get some fresh ones from the supermarket.”

“That might not leave us with enough time,” he said reluctantly, even though he didn’t want to.

Nancy asked with confusion, “Not enough time? How can there not be enough time? I can make it quickly. I promise you’ll have it tonight.”

“Nancy…” Nicholas began to speak, his gaze heavy. “I mean, I might not have enough time to make it to the airport.”

Nancy’s heart sank when she heard the word “airport.”

“Are you going to the airport? Where are you going and why?” It took her a moment to find her voice.

Nicholas held her tightly, clearly in pain. “I’m sorry, Nancy. I need to take a trip.”

“When are you leaving?”

“In a while. My flight is at 9.00PM,” Nicholas replied.

She felt as if her heart had shattered.

He had only just returned to be with her for a short time, and his injuries hadn’t even fully healed, yet he was already eager to go abroad.

“Do we really have to go? Can’t you stay?” It was difficult for her to express her thoughts.

“I’m sorry, Nancy.”

“Then… at least go later, once you’ve fully recovered. You still have injuries. How can you expect me to be at ease?”

“And besides, I don’t want you to go at all.” Nancy clung tightly to Nicholas’ clothing, filled with reluctance.
