Chapter 215 Misunderstanding Resolved

Nancy nodded in agreement. “Uh-huh.”

Nicholas gently held her hand. “Nancy, I want to be completely honest with you and not keep any. secrets. That was indeed a woman’s voice, but we were at the hospital, not at home. I was injured, and she saved me. She didn’t have any family around, and I felt grateful for her help. So, I stayed at the hospital for two more days until she had mostly recovered before leaving.”
