Nancy walked out of the hospital with Yaacob chasing after her."Nancy!" he called out behind her. She heard it, but she did not look back or stop.Yaacob had no choice but to speed up and scoop her up into his arms."Ah!" Nancy was startled, but then she glared at Yaacob angrily.Yaacob looked back at her very tenderly. "You must be tired. So just rest and I'll carry you home."At that moment, Nancy felt like she was stabbed in the heart by a flaming arrow, making her feel warm but also a little sad.Nancy's voice softened as her frustration gradually disappeared. "Yaacob…""Now, now. Be a good girl and rest your head. We'll talk about this when you wake up."Yaacob's voice was soothing. Nancy actually fell asleep on his chest, combined with the rocking motion of his strong arms.When she woke up, she was already back at the Getsons' mansion. She opened her eyes and felt her head was not as fuzzy as before. She looked at the time and saw that it was exactly twelve o'clock mid
"I've met Ain before, but at that time I didn't know she was your husband's ex-girlfriend," answered Lola.Nancy could not think of a time when Lola and Ain would cross paths."Where did you two meet?" she asked."I can't tell you that for the time being." Lola was very cautious and knew how to use the information she had at her disposal to get what she wanted. "How about this? You only need to tell me Mr. Smith's address, and I'll tell you a secret that'll solve all your problems. It's a win-win solution.""It does sound like a win-win solution," said Nancy with a nod.Lola immediately looked at her expectantly, waiting for her to reveal Randall's address.However, Nancy suddenly said, "But I still don't want to tell you.""Why not? It's just an address. It's not like you'll be doing something criminal. Plus, it's not like you're close to his wife. So are you really going to give up the chance to protect your own relationship for someone you're not even close to?""No, it's ju
Yaacob sat down on the edge of the bed and tried to reason with Nancy, "Nancy, didn't I tell you to stay out of this? Why didn't you discuss with me first about going to the hospital for the interview?""You didn't discuss with me before you went to the hospital to rescue Ain from the reporters either? My professor played that video clip in our class! My husband was in the hospital protecting his ex-girlfriend, who had recently been rumored to be with him. Do you know what others thought of me at that moment?""I admit it's my fault for not thinking it through."After that, the two of them fell silent.Nancy and Yaacob rarely had such quiet moments together because they could not keep their hands to themselves. Even if Yaacob were busy with work, they would still have some fun, so it was quite rare for there to be such serious tension in the room.Nancy suddenly panicked when she realized that Yaacob had nothing to say to her. Before Yaacob could turn around and leave, she grabbed
A gust of wind kicked up, causing Nancy to shiver and goosebumps to appear all over her body.'Just what is he trying to pull? Why is he flirting with me? Ugh. It makes me sick,' thought Nancy.She was about to return to her room to prove she and Yaacob were just fine, but Julian stopped her before she could even stand up."I heard that you used to be a woman who would do anything for love, Nancy. So what happened to you?" asked Julian."What do you mean what happened to me?" asked Nancy angrily."You've become a coward!"Nancy was speechless."Weren't you the type who would fight anyone who wrongs you? At least that's what you did to me, isn't it?"Even though Nancy and Julian did not get along, she had to admit that his words made her feel a little better.Having been caught off guard by Ain several times before, Nancy found herself all over the place. However, when she really gave it some thought, Ain was just a one-trick pony who only knew how to play the victim card.In
"She should be fine, right?" asked Nancy."The doctors are trying to save her as we speak. So we don't know whether she's going to make it out alive yet," answered Yaacob.Nancy knew that Ain would not die so easily! She remembered Lucy had used the same tactic before to get Yaacob's attention.However, she also knew Yaacob must be really worried about Ain, so she asked, "Do you want to go to the hospital to check on her?""Randall has full control of the hospital. I just need to call him and ask him to help take care of it.""It's so late, and Randall has his own things to do. Not to mention, Ain is your first girlfriend, not his. So it's best if you handle this yourself. Go if you want. But I'm going with you. I'm guessing she probably cut her wrist because of the article that I published," said Nancy matter-of-factly, but there was no bitterness undertone to it. Thus, Nancy and Yaacob arrived at the hospital in the middle of the night, and by that time, Ain had already gone b
Nancy told Yaacob everything about her miscarriage. She originally planned to tell him that night so he would not have the energy to help Ain. After all, there were many things between them that have not yet been resolved.'If Ain can play the pity card, then I can too!' thought Nancy. However, she was not 'playing' really since it was indeed pitiful that she had a miscarriage. Losing the baby was quite traumatic for her, but she managed to stay strong for Yaacob.Nancy felt relieved but empty at the same time after finally telling Yaacob about the miscarriage. She lay in Yaacob's arms and cried heartbrokenly; it was like she had lost the baby all over again.Yaacob certainly had no time to care about others then, not when Nancy had just revealed such shocking and heartbreaking news to him. He did not even have time to tell the hospital staff to keep a close eye on Ain before taking Nancy home. Of course, they would still take care of Ain well without even him needing to tell them.
Nancy and Yaacob had to buy the earliest flight back to Athenapolis as soon as they got off the plane because of Ain's death. It was already evening when they finally arrived home.Yaacob carried Nancy, who was already asleep, back to the room and gently placed her on the bed. After that, he rushed to the police station to cooperate with the investigation.Nancy opened her eyes as soon as Yaacob left the room. She knew Yaacob had no choice but to go, so she did not stop him.'Did Ain really die? And in the same way as Emily as well. Could it be the same killer?' she wondered.A chill ran down her spine, and she could not fall asleep anymore after thinking about what happened to Emily. She was not sleepy at all, just a little tired. Plus, she did not know how to face Yaacob because she knew it was not his intention to have their travel plan ruined by Ain. Yet, she could not help but feel resentful that he was busying himself with Ain's affairs again.Nancy always had a hunch that t
Lucy looked at Julian in shock. She could not believe that he would be so cruel to her when she had already humbled herself to him."Why? Tell me, am I not good enough? How is Nancy better than me?" asked Lucy.Julian could not be bothered to list all the ways in which Nancy was better than Lucy, so he simply said, "She's better than you in every way!"Lucy was really shocked by what he said. What was even more shocking was that she was standing naked in front of him, and still, Julian did not want her!He had no intention of staying home that night, so he left the room, ignoring Lucy.After leaving, Julian heard the sound of things being smashed in the bedroom behind him and knew that Lucy was going crazy again, so he shook his head silently.When the servants downstairs heard the noise, they all held their breath out of fear because they thought Julian was abusing Lucy again.Yaacob came back the next morning. It was obvious from the dark circles and bags under his eyes that h
