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.”

His explanation was sincere and detailed. The only thing he kept from Nancy was the woman’s name, ‘Madelline’.

It was at this moment that Nancy looked at him, and tears started streaming down her cheeks.

Seeing her cry, Nicholas became flustered. He reached out and gently wiped her tears away with his fingertips. “Why are you crying? Did I explain something poorly?”

“No,” she shook her head. “You explained everything very well. But why didn’t you tell me about it on the phone? Do you know how heartbroken I was when I heard a woman’s voice in your room? My heart shattered, and I couldn’t sleep well all night. I couldn’t stop thinking about you and her. My mind was. filled with wild thoughts,” she spoke, tears still welling up in her eyes. She vividly remembered the loneliness and fear she felt while huddled under the blanket.

“Don’t cry, Nancy. Please don’t cry, Nicholas’s heart broke seeing her in tears. He lowered his head and gently kissed away the tears on her face.

He was so tender and caring: how could he possibly be involved with another woman? In that moment, Nancy found peace in her heart. She smiled and let out a light laugh.

Seeing her smile, Nicholas felt a sense of relief. However, he also felt devastated when he thought about that day. “Nancy…” He reached out and cradled her face, speaking earnestly, “Do you know why I didn’t explain over the phone?”

“Hmm?”
