“In the days I spent searching for you, I finally realized that I love you. That’s why I risked my life to find you after you fell into the sea. That’s why I dreamt of you every night and kept thinking about our past.
And every night, I had to hold onto your luggage to fall asleep!” Mick said.
“What?” Nancy was stunned. Was her luggage still with Mick in Emerald City?
“Nancy, I love you. You should never doubt that,” Mick said with such seriousness and solemnity.
At that moment, his expression was so sincere and solemn!
And his lips deeply kissed the palm of her hand.
As if he was making a vow to her!
Mick’s love for her was something Nancy had never expected.
Her mind was in chaos, and all she could say to Mick was, “I think… I need to rest and be alone for a while.”

After meeting so many people and receiving so much information today, she felt exhausted.
“Okay,” Mick said. “Rest well.”
After speaking, he stood up, tucked in Nancy’s blanket, and left the hospital room.
As soon as he stepped out of the room, Jasper hurried over. “Big brother, how’s Nancy doing?”
“She’s a bit tired and wants to rest,” Mick said.
“What about the baby in her belly…”
“It’s mine,” Mick said.
His unquestionable tone told his family not to doubt who the father of the child was.
Jasper breathed a sigh of relief.
If this child wasn’t his brother’s, there would probably be another storm.
After hearing his son’s words, Jason did not show a relaxed expression, but instead said, “Let’s first listen to what the doctor has to say.”
“What’s wrong? Is there another problem?” Jasper felt the seriousness in his father’s tone.
After hearing the doctor’s analysis, Jasper understood why his father had spoken with such a serious tone.
According to the doctor’s analysis, Nancy’s body had suffered too much trauma. Although the development of the fetus was currently stable, if she were to give birth, it would be like risking her life.
Her current physical condition is not enough to give birth to this child.
Although a miscarriage at this stage would also be a heavy burden on her body, it would be safer than giving birth.
After hearing the doctor’s analysis, Jasper felt heavy-hearted.
As a woman who had never given birth, she understood the significance of a child to a woman.
Thinking that Nancy had barely survived and the child was growing safely in her womb, but now she had to have a miscarriage in this situation, Jasper felt sad.
“Miscarriage? Will Nancy agree?” Grace murmured, thinking back to when she was pregnant with triplets and the doctor had advised her to have an abortion as it was not suitable for her to give birth to three children.
But at that time, she had resolutely chosen to keep her life and refused to have an abortion.
Nancy now reminded Grace of herself back then.
Jason obviously guessed what his wife was thinking and gently hugged her, saying, “Don’t think too much. Having a miscarriage is also for her to live a healthier life. If you really want a child, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future.”
“But even if we have another child, it won’t be this one.” Grace said, feeling emotional about this.
“But we all know that if she insists on giving birth to this child, she may very well die on the operating table,” Jason said. “As long as we persuade her well, she will understand.”
Is it really that simple? Grace wondered.
From the fact that Nancy could drag Irene to jump off a cliff, she understood that this child had a courage that ordinary people could not match.
A courage to risk everything.
Such a person can be ruthless to others, and even more ruthless to themselves!
“I’ll go talk to her!” Mick spoke up. “I will make her agree to have an abortion!”
After Mick finished speaking, he left the conference room.
Jasper looked at the back of his elder brother, biting his lip in sadness. He thought he had found Nancy and finally turned the corner.
But why did another obstacle arise?
Grace was full of worry, with a bad premonition in her heart.
When Mick returned to Nancy’s ward, she was already asleep.
He sat by the bed, quietly watching her sleep.
There were many wounds on her body. Even though she was wearing a hospital gown, he could see many bandages wrapped around her collar and ankles.
The shocking reports of her injuries in her medical records made him wish he could take her place and suffer this pain for her.
How did this woman have the courage to jump down?
Even though he treated her that way, why did she still choose to sacrifice herself for him in this way?
The child…
When he found out she was pregnant, he was overjoyed.
He found her and they had a child together, so she would be more willing to be with him again, right?
But her attitude towards the child was a slap in the face for him.
She didn’t want this child to have anything to do with him!
She cared about the child!
But she no longer cared about him!
-To her, she had already “repaid” him, so she didn’t feel guilty towards him anymore. But at the same time, did she have any feelings of care or love towards him?
Love… Did she ever love him?
On this point, Mick had no confidence at all.
After all, in the beginning, she only said she loved him because she wanted to use him.
Ironically, now it seems that he doesn’t even have the chance to be used by her anymore.
What would be her reaction if he asked her to have an abortion? Would she agree?
Mick was anxious.
But then he thought to himself that even if she didn’t want to, he would make her have an abortion!
Because he didn’t dare to gamble with her life!
He had almost lost her, and he couldn’t afford to lose her again!
When Nancy opened her eyes again, she saw Mick’s face.
She blinked her eyes, as if she had been seeing him every time she opened her eyes since last night.
“Are you awake? Are you hungry?” he asked.
She nodded, feeling hungry now.
“I had someone bring some food,” Mick said, walking out of the ward and giving instructions to someone outside.
After a while, someone brought in a bowl of hot porridge.
Because Nancy had been in a coma for five months, she had only been able to eat liquid food during this time.
“Let me feed you. Your hands and arms are injured,” Mick said, holding the porridge and blowing on it gently until it cooled down a bit, then holding the spoon to Nancy’s lips.
Nancy opened her mouth a bit dazedly and ate the porridge that was fed to her.
She felt like everything since last night was like a dream.
Moreover, Mick had previously said that he loved her.
Now, his actions seem like he really does love her.
Can a man like him really love her?
As she ate the porridge that was fed to her, Nancy looked at Mick and her mind was filled with the words he had said to her before about loving her.
“What’s wrong? Why are you staring at me?” Mick asked.
“I’m sorry,” Nancy apologized instinctively, quickly lowering her gaze and avoiding looking at Mick
Mick’s hand holding the spoon stiffened. “I didn’t say there was anything wrong with you looking at me.
It’s a good thing for me if you want to look at me. You don’t need to keep apologizing to me. Even if you did use me before, I don’t care anymore!”
What bothered him even more was that she had said sorry to him too many times.
Every time she said sorry, it made him feel like there was an invisible distance growing between them.
“Do…do you forgive me?” Nancy’s voice trembled.
“No matter what you did to me, I forgive you. No, I should be the one asking for your forgiveness. It was me who asked my father to adopt Irene into the Reed family. It was me who caused Irene to do such an extreme thing. You suffered because of me!”
If he hadn’t asked his father to adopt Irene into the Reed family in the first place.
If he had been even harsher on Irene after she drugged kim, making her completely lose the ability to plan the kidnapping, then all of this could have been avoided!
