Seven Days Seven Nights

Chapter 199 Don’t Go Missing Again

“Nancy, it’s me.”

When Nicholas’ familiar voice came through, Nancy burst into tears. The days of longing and worry finally found release in this moment.

“Nicholas…” She barely managed to say his name before her voice choked up.

On the other end of the line, all that could be heard were Nancy’s delicate sobs.

Nicholas felt his heart shatter, and he could only console her gently, “Nancy, don’t cry. I’m sorry for making you worry. Don’t worry, I’m fine. Everything is fine here.”

“Why didn’t you answer my calls? Do you know how many times I’ve tried to reach you?” Only now did Nancy finally let out her grievances and worries, letting them flow out freely and unrestrainedly.

“Nicholas, you scared me! Do you have any idea? Do you know how terrified I was? I was afraid something happened to you and I’d never see you again.”

After pouring out her heart, Nancy wiped away her tears, and in a softer tone, she said, “Turn on the camera. I want to see if you’re lying to me. Are you really okay?”

“Alright.”

As she switched to video call and saw Nicholas looking fairly well in a white shirt, Nancy felt a little

more at ease.

In an ironic turn of events, the person who was originally concerned now found herself being worried about.

Seeing her, Nicholas asked with concern, “Have you not been eating properly these past few days? Why do you look so thin?”

It was true that Nancy hadn’t been eating well these past few days; she’d been too worried about him. But she didn’t want to burden him with her concerns.

Smiling, Nancy tried to reassure him. “No, it’s probably just the beauty filter on the camera.”

“Whether it is or not, you still need to take care of yourself. It would be best if you become plump and rosy, so I can hug you comfortably when I’m back,” Nicholas insisted.

Nancy chuckled. “Then I’d look like a little pig! Too chubby, and I wouldn’t be nice to look at!”

“No, my Nancy is always the most beautiful, and I like you with some curves. It makes hugging you even more comfortable.”
