Chapter 213 Jealous (2)

As Nancy approached, she found Nicholas lying beneath a tree with his eyes closed. “What’s wrong? Let me take a look,” she asked, concerned.

However, he remained silent, keeping his eyes shut.

She persisted, “Are you in pain? Is it the wound or the bullet bothering you?”

Nicholas didn’t respond. Sensing his discomfort, Nancy pressed her lips together and chose to stay quiet.

Eventually, unable to bear the silence, he reluctantly opened his eyes, his expression filled with discontent. He spoke, almost like a wounded puppy, “So, you still care about me?”

“Of course, I care about you.”

“I was coughing and in agony from my wound. I called out, but you didn’t bother to check on me,” he grumbled.

“But I’m here now.”

“It’s different now. You only came because you were already done treating Christian.”

“But I bandaged your wound first, and he was hurt worse than you, and his wound wasn’t bandaged. It was a critical moment just now. I couldn’t get distracted. I had to focus,” said Nancy.

Nicholas looked away and grunted. “In the end, you think he’s more important. He’s number one, I’m number two.”
