Chapter 21 Nancy Fell Into The Swimming Pool

“Yeah, it’s quite urgent,” Nicholas said..

Nancy tightened her grip on her hand, and it seemed there was no need to continue speaking.

“Madelline had a check-up today, and her condition isn’t looking good. Her emotions…”

Nancy immediately tilted her head and said coldly, “Fine, then go quickly!”

She wanted to avoid hearing a word of the reasons.

Why explain when he has already chosen?

After Nicholas left, Nancy was helping to greet family and friends as a regular member of the Sallows.

Because of her pregnancy, Nancy felt tired after standing for a while.

Her feet hurt a little to stand on.

She was wearing a new pair of shoes today, but they were unexpectedly causing blisters.

Nancy took a momentary break, seating herself in a nearby chair to apply a band-aid to her heel torelieve the pain and discomfort caused by blisters.

As soon as she sat down, she heard a sharp and mocking voice in her ear.

“Oh

my,

how disappointing. We could meet Nicholas’ wife today, but she didn’t attend. Do you think she must beincredibly ugly or fat, so she’s too afraid to show herself?”

Nancy vaguely remembered the girl who was speaking. She seemed to be Nicholas’ distant. cousin,but Nancy couldn’t recall her name.

“I don’t think so. Jacob would never arrange such a terrible woman for Nicholas. She’s not coming outbecause she’s too embarrassed. I heard her family is in an inferior condition. Her mom is at nurse, andher dad is a gambler. If it weren’t for her mom saving Grandfather’s life, with her background, she couldnever match up to the Sallows.”

“Children from small and humble families are just pitiful. They look poor and shabby, not to mentiontheir unimpressive appearance. That’s why Nicholas hasn’t brought her out. He’s afraid of becoming alaughingstock.”

The two young girls stood to the side, discussing and ridiculing Nancy as if no one was listening

Nancy clenched her fists. They could make fun of her, but they couldn’t make fun of her family,especially her mother.

She was not one to seek trouble but would face it when it came.

Nancy put on her shoes, straightened her clothes, and walked over. “Seeing that you two are so pretty,gossiping about others behind their backs is not good!”

Both girls turned to look at her at the same time.

Then, with a contemptuous smile, they grunted coldly, “Who are you? It’s none of your business.”

“It doesn’t matter who I am. What matters is that I’m not used to seeing you guys gossiping.”

The two girls laughed again and looked at her condescendingly. “Then what? Let me tell you, this is theSallows, and it’s my turf. I can say whatever I want. You can’t tell me what to do.”

“Of course, you can talk. It’s your freedom of speech, but you can’t make stuff up.”

“What do you mean?” The girl clutched her arms and stared at her incredulously. “How dare youcontradict me! I think you’re tired of living.”

After that, one of the girls behind her suddenly reached out and pushed Nancy.

Nancy was caught off guard, not expecting that they would dare to cause trouble in front of so manypeople on Grandfather’s birthday.

She can’t swim.

And the water in the pool was freezing.

As soon as she fell in, she felt freezing.

She opened her mouth, about to shout for help, but the pool water instantly choked her.

After a few flutters, Nancy began to sink rapidly.

The girl probably realized that she had acted too impulsively. Upon seeing that Nancy couldn’t swimand not wanting to cause a fatal accident, she immediately cried out for help, “Help! Someone hasfallen into the water. Please help!”

“Please help!”

The two girls started shouting for help.

Soon, the security guards from the Sallows jumped into the water. They pulled her out of the pool whenNancy was on the verge of losing consciousness.

Hearing the cries for help, Sarah rushed over and instructed the security guards to handle the

situation

Because today, she had been handling the entire birthday celebration on her own, from start to finish,both indoors and outdoors.

As for Albert, he had been enchanted by that seductress long ago, leaving even his father’s birthdaycelebration behind. He had said he’d be gone for half an hour, but it had been an hour, and he stillhadn’t returned.

Oh, right. Nancy.

Sarah looked at the entire hall and realized she hadn’t seen Nancy.

“Hey, Uncle Joe, have you seen Nancy? I haven’t seen her for a while. Can you check where she is?”Sarah asked in a worried tone.

As soon as she stopped talking, she realized that something was wrong.

Could it be Nancy who just fell into the water?

“Hurry, hurry! Uncle Joe, where did the person fall into the water just now?”

“She is upstairs.”

Sarah immediately ran up wildly in high heels. “Madam, you’re wearing high heels, be careful,” UncleJoe said, following her.

Sarah rushed into the room.

Sarah panicked when she saw that the person lying on the bed was Nancy. She sat beside her, holdingNancy’s hand and calling,” Nancy, please wake up!”

Hearing the calls, Nancy slowly opened her eyes and said, “Mom, there are so many guestsdownstairs. Why are you here?”

“Why didn’t you tell me about falling into the water? How could such a thing happen to you? Tell me,did someone push you on purpose? I need to investigate this matter.”

“Mom, I know you’ve been taking care of all the guests today, and you’ve been so busy. How could Idisturb you with just a little accident? Besides, today is Grandpa’s birthday party. It’s such a specialday. I can’t let my mishap overshadow his joy.” Nancy smiled.

Nancy meant what she said. She was indeed aggrieved.

But she couldn’t ruin Grandpa’s birthday to get justice for herself.

She knew that once this matter was thoroughly investigated, Grandpa would seek justice for her. Withthat girl from the Sallows, things would only get more complicated, and Grandpa’s birthday. woulddefinitely become a mess.

She was willing to bear this for the sake of Grandpa.

“Where’s Nicholas? His wife got into such a big incident, and he’s nowhere to be seen,” Sarah asked.

The servants stood nearby, not daring to breathe heavily.

In the end, Nancy said, “Mom, it seems like something has happened with Madelline, and Nicholas hasrushed over there.”

“What?” Sarah was so angry that she almost lost her mind, “Like father like son, both are hooked. I’llcall him now and tell him to come back.”

The call quickly connected, and Nicholas’ voice came from there, “Hey, Mom.”

“Wherever you are, get back here right now.”

“Mom, I’m sorry. Madelline…”

Sarah interrupted Nicholas before he could finish, “Nancy fell in the water and is now very sick. Are youcoming back or going to see that mistress?”

Nancy suddenly held her breath, listening intently to the answer on the other side of the phone.

Nicholas, will you come back?

Will you give up going to see Madelline for my sake?

Nancy bit her lip, realizing how desperately she cared, how much she wanted.

She didn’t ask for much.

Just one time, even if it were just this one time, she would be satisfied.

Soon, she heard Nicholas’ response from the other end.
