Chapter 117 Nancy Stabbed Madelline

“Why are you here?”

Nancy was taken aback at the sight of Nicholas.

Frankly, it didn’t matter why he was here. She didn’t want to see him at all right now.

“Why are you here?” Nancy questioned again.

Nicholas rushed over and tightly embraced her. Nancy immediately extended her hand to push him away without hesitation.

Alas, Nicholas’ grip was too tight. This time, Nancy didn’t hesitate and bit into his arm.

She used

up

almost all her strength doing that because she was consumed by hatred, especially when she thought about what she had experienced yesterday and the loss of her baby.

Soon, Nicholas’ arm, separated by a white shirt, started bleeding. Nancy raised her head and stared at him with resentful eyes as she gritted her teeth. “Let me go.”

“I’m sorry for arriving late, Nancy. I misunderstood you, and I didn’t know you were really in-

“I don’t need an explanation,” Nancy interrupted him without hesitation. “Nicholas, I don’t want to hear a single word from your mouth right now. If you still feel guilty toward me, please let me go and stay far away from me.”

“No… I can’t let go.”

Nancy lowered her head and bit into the fresh wound she had inflicted on his arm just moments

ago.

This time, she bit him while shivering.

Her tears dripped down her cheeks while she did that.

She felt an excruciating pain overwhelming her at the thought of her lost baby.

She knew he was in pain, but how could this pain compare to the agony of knowing that her baby had left her body and vanished from her life, never to be seen again?

“Nicholas, release me. Just let me go!”

This time, it didn’t matter how hard Nancy bit him and how the blood started trickling out of his arm because he embraced her, not willing to let go.

Eventually, she stopped resisting.

She decided to let him embrace her. Her body was nothing but an empty shell now, devoid of a

Nicholas quickly noticed the change in Nancy. So, he let go of her and repeatedly called out her name gently, “Nancy, Nancy…”

Yet, Nancy merely lay in bed. Her empty eyes stare out of the window, devoid of any spark or brightness. Her heart had withered, and her soul was gone.

Ding dong!

Only when Christian entered the room did Nancy’s gaze return from the window. “Christian…”

“How are you feeling today? Do you feel better?” Christian asked, only then realizing that there was an additional person in the room.

It was Nancy’s husband, whom he naturally remembered.

“Much better,” Nancy replied with a faint smile.

Nicholas felt like his heart was being pierced by a thousand arrows when he saw her smiling at someone else.

“I was planning to stay with you for a couple more days, but I just received an urgent mission. I may not be able to stay with you any longer. I’m sorry,” Christian explained apologetically.

Even though he was very reluctant to leave now, it was his duty to follow orders and fulfill his tasks as a law enforcement officer. Regardless of how significant the circumstances were, he couldn’t go against his responsibilities, as remaining faithful to his duty was a lifetime. commitment.

“It’s alright. I’ve almost recovered, and I’ll be able to walk soon. Thanks, Christian. I’ll treat you to coffee when you return.”

“Sure.”

As Christian was about to leave, Nancy suddenly stopped him. “Christian.”

“Yeah?”

She retrieved a piece of candy from the table and handed it to him, placing it in his palm. “I hope you come back safely.”

“Sure, I will.”

These were the words Christian always said before going on a mission to reassure his mother and sister. Nevertheless, this time, he had another person to promise and protect.

Not long after Christian left, Nicholas caught up with him. “Mr. Zayn, please wait.”

Since Nicholas was on his heels, Christian stopped as he also wanted to speak with the man.

I’ve already heard about everything. My wife had an accident, and you extended a helping hand to save her. Thank you for that,” Nicholas thanked him earnestly.

Regrettably, Christian wasn’t pleased with his words. “Since you’re well aware that Nancy is your wife, isn’t it a basic responsibility for a man to protect his own wife? Your wife was in a dangerous situation, but you chose to save a close female friend instead. I’m sorry to say that I will never understand a person like you.”

Then, he continued, “Although I’m not that close with her, I can tell that she’s a weak woman, but you’ve repeatedly hurt her without considering her feelings. Do you know how much trauma the accident caused her? It’s not just physical. It’s also psychological. Also, it didn’t just involve her. There’s also her…”

Christian almost blurted out the word “baby.”

Based on Nicholas’ expression, he seemed unaware of Nancy’s pregnancy or the loss of their baby.

Since Nancy hadn’t informed him, she likely had her reasons. He chose to respect her wishes and not say more about it.

In the hospital room, Madelline arrived right after Nicholas left.

“Get out.” Nancy didn’t waste any words and immediately told her to leave.

Madelline was like an annoying fly to her now, and she just couldn’t stand her.

“Why are you so angry? I heard you just had an accident and should be resting. You shouldn’t be getting so worked up!” Madelline uttered with a seemingly joyful smile.

“I’m saying this one more time. Get out. Get out of my sight!”

Nancy was getting emotional, and her loud shouting caused her wounds to tear again. Her lower abdomen throbbed with intense pain.

“I know you’re emotional and depressed, but you shouldn’t be getting worked up right now, Nancy. If you start bleeding heavily again, that would be terrible.”

It seemed that Madelline was well aware of her heavy bleeding. She had to have put in a lot of effort to monitor her!

“If I were you, Iwould have divorced long ago. Why bother clinging to Nicholas? You’ve seen it yourself now. I got kidnapped, and you had an accident, but he chose me. He’d rather let you die than not save me. Can’t you tell who is more important to him now? Let him go, Nancy. I’ll tell Nicholás to give you part of his family assets as long as you’re willing to file a divorce.”

Madelline’s words managed to infuriate Nancy. She couldn’t accept being taunted so openly by a homewrecker.

Nancy gritted her teeth, got up from the bed, grabbed a fruit knife, and rushed toward Madelline without hesitation, holding the sharp blade against her chest. Then, she hissed through clenched
