Seven Days Seven Nights

Chapter 123 Something Has Happened to Mrs Sallow

Every time Nicholas thought about life without Nancy, he felt suffocatingly miserable.

For the whole time, he had always thought of her as an optional presence in his life, and her absence didn’t seem to make a difference. But now, with the mere idea of her never appearing in this room again, never appearing in his life or his world, he felt a hollowness in his chest.

It was as if he had lost something incredibly important. He didn’t know why, but he knew he didn’t want a divorce at all.

“I’m sorry, honey, It’s my fault for not protecting you. As he held onto Nancy’s hand, a teardrop fell to the ground.

That night, Nancy slept on the bed while Nicholas sat on the floor next to her, holding her hand.

When she woke up, a gentle breeze was blowing through the window, causing the gauzy curtains to flutter like butterflies and creating a beautiful sight. Normally, this would have been a delightful scene, but today, she couldn’t appreciate it.

The helper brought a hearty breakfast, rich in fragrance and vibrant colors, but she could only glance at it and say, “I’m not hungry now; I’ll eat at lunchtime.”

At lunchtime, the helper brought another sumptuous meal, but she only accepted it and commented, “I’ll eat it. You can go now.”

“Alright, Mrs. Sallow.”

In truth, Nancy hadn’t eaten any of her meals. She had lost her appetite completely.

When she woke up this morning, she discovered that she was imprisoned. Nicholas had deployed many bodyguards around the house, and even the helpers to attend to her needs were all in place. This meant she was now confined to this room. She was not allowed to go anywhere else.

She called Nicholas, but he didn’t answer. No response came, not on the first call, nor the second, not even after 10 attempts or even 20. From there, she knew that he was intentionally ignoring
