Chapter 223 Nicholas, Don’t Marry Her

“Be good. I promise I’ll be back in no more than three days, Nicholas assured Nancy.

Nancy, upon hearing this, didn’t want to keep nagging and simply nodded, saying, “You can’t lie to me.

“I won’t.”

After getting up, she went to the kitchen to bake a cake.

In the evening, they had dinner together. Since they had eaten too much, she packed the cake to beeaten on the plane.

As Nicholas and Nancy walked out of the neighborhood, Nancy felt a sense of reluctance.

The wind outside was quite strong, so Nicholas immediately tightened Nancy’s clothes and said. “It’scold outside. Don’t send me off. Go back quickly.”

She shook her head and replied, “I want to see you off. At least until Lynn’s car arrives.”

“Okay”

While they talked, he put a hat on her head and secured her bag.

Nancy teased, “You’re practically wrapping me up like a burrito.”

“Burritos are good; you won’t catch a cold, Nicholas said.

They walked a little farther and after a few minutes, Lynn’s car arrived.

Upon seeing the car, Nancy naturally felt deeply reluctant. However, no matter how reluctant she was,she had to say goodbye.

“Please take care of yourself over there. Don’t take unnecessary risks and don’t go off the grid,” sheadvised earnestly.

“Okay” Nicholas nodded in agreement and asked, “Don’t you have anything else to say to me?”

“Goodbye. I’ll be waiting for you to come back.” Nancy waved.

The next moment, he tugged on her hand and she was instantly pulled into his embrace

Nicholas lips came down firmly upon hers.

Not far away, Christian, who had just approached, froze when he saw the mummate and beautifulscene

in front of him

His hands were in his pockets, and his eyes were fixed on the intimate and beautiful scene before lumHe suddenly forgot how to react

He had been conflicted about whether to come here to Bud Nancy

In the end, he couldn’t resist his inner feelings, so he had his driver take him around a few times. Hecouldn’t have expected to come across this.

Under the night sky, the duo held each other tightly, looking like the most affectionate and lingeringlovers.

They were intertwined with each other.

Their feelings were so passionate and fiery.

In fact, Christian never really had a chance upon careful reflection.

Originally, he had thought about burying this emotion deep in his heart and not letting anyone knowbecause he knew that there was no possibility for the two of them.

But a few words from his sister had given him encouragement and strength.

When he came here, he had even thought about whether he might have a fair chance to compete withNicholas.

But at this moment, he felt like he had lost.

He was defeated without a fight.

In the end, he and Nancy could only be friends.

Well… Friends it is, then!

At least it was better than not being able to see each other again and completely losing contact.

He was satisfied with it.

With a lonely smile, Christian turned around, and his figure quickly blended into the night, withoutanyone knowing that he had ever been there.

When he got in the car, he called Luciana. “Lucie, I hope you can help me keep this secret.”

Luciana didn’t ask many questions. Since her younger brother was asking this, it probably meant thatthis trip wasn’t going smoothly and wasn’t pleasant. She didn’t need to ask many questions, all sheneeded to do was to support and trust him unconditionally.

Due to the time difference, when Nicholas arrived, it was the middle of the night where Nancy was. Assuch, he didn’t call her but sent a WhatsApp message instead. Nancy, I’ve arrived. I miss you

His assistant immediately took him to the hospital. Madelline was still in the intensive care unit, lving inbed with tubes attached all over her body. From a distance, she appeared lifeless,

“Mr. Sallow, everything is ready. You can change into a sterile suit and go in

‘Okay’

After talking to the doctor. Nicholas changed into the suit and entered the room

She was lying there, her complexion pale. Her wrists were wrapped in thick bandages, and her entirebody looked almost lifeless.

At this point, the doctor came in and patiently instructed, “Mr. Sallow, you can talk to her more. Saythings that can spark her fighting spirit and hope. This way, there may be a glimmer of hope”

“Okay. I understand.”

In the end, Nicholas stayed there for several hours.

He called her name and told her not to sleep. He urged her to wake up, and he made sure that shewould wake up.

However, the effect was not very obvious. Madelline continued to lie quietly on the hospital bed withoutany response.

At this point, the doctor entered again and asked, “Mr. Sallow, if I may ask, what is your relationshipwith her?”

“We’re friends.

“But from what I know, Ms. Madelline seems to really like you. She admires you all the time. I suggestyou say some words she likes to hear. For example, you can say that you like her too, that you loveher, that

you’ll

marry her as long as she’s willing to wake up, and so on. These words can motivate her to wake up,the doctor said confidently.

However, Nicholas looked directly at the doctor and firmly refused without thinking. “Sorry, I have agirlfriend and I love her very much. I don’t want to make promises about marriage to any womanbesides her.”

“Mr. Sallow, what I said were just expedient measures. It’s not the truth. I only said that to wake MMadelline up. Don’t take it too seriously, the doctor explained.

“Even so, I can’t bring myself to say those words. Nancy is the woman I love. I will only marry her” Justas Nicholas finished speaking, the instruments on the bed suddenly emitted intense sounds.

It was clear that Madelline’s emotions had fluctuated.

The doctor checked the situation and said excitedly. “Mr. Sallow, keep going. According to what justhappened, Ms. Madelline must have reacted to some of the words you said. That’s why the machinemade such loud noises.”

“Which sentence was it?” Nicholas was puzzled

Im not exactly sure, but you can repeat the few sentences you said just no

“Okay”

“Nancy is the girl I love and I will only marry her As he said this, the machine suddenly made tuleusesounds again

The doctor rushed over excitedly and commented, “If I’m not mistaken, Ms. Madelline must have had astrong reaction and stimulation to this sentence, which is about you marrying someone else. She’sconscious now and she can hear some of the words you’re saying. Mr. Sallow, you have to continue tostimulate her. Do it fiercely.”

“I am deeply in love with Nancy. Despite having hurt her in the past, I am determined to spend the rest

life making it up to her. Madelline, I only owe you, but my feelings for Nancy are genuine and profound.I hope you can comprehend this. Please stop being stubborn and cease causing harm to yourself.Nancy is the love of my life, and you are merely a passing acquaintance. Once a relationship is over,there is no point in clinging onto it any longer.”

Madelline’s machine suddenly started flashing and emitting intense sounds.

In a sudden outburst, she cried, “No, Nicholas. Please… please don’t marry her.”
