Schultz family, but she didn’t expect it to be realized in this way!
When Nancy returned to the hospital, she suddenly saw doctors and nurses going in and out of her mother’s ward.
“What’s going on? What happened to my mom?” Nancy asked anxiously as the nurse stopped her outside the ward.
“The patient’s condition suddenly deteriorated, and the doctor is performing emergency rescue!” the nurse replied.
Nancy was stunned!
She had thought that being in a vegetative state was the worst condition her mother could be in, but she never imagined that there could be something worse.
After an hour of rescue efforts, the doctor declared her mother dead.
Nancy stared blankly at her mother lying on the hospital bed, with no heartbeat or breath.
How could this be possible! How could it happen so fast?!
Even if her mother was in a vegetative state, even if she was unconscious, at least she still had a thought, a hope.
Nancy could imagine her mother waking up in the future!
She had so much to say to her mother!
But now…
“Doctor, please save my mother, maybe there’s still a chance?!” she shouted desperately, pleading.
But the doctor just looked at her sympathetically and said, “We’ve done everything we can, I’m sorry!”
That night, she just sat by her mother’s bedside, quietly watching her dead mother.
Why…why did it have to be her mother who died?
If she hadn’t had a conflict with Clarissa at that time; if her mother hadn’t come to help her; if Clarissa hadn’t pushed her mother…
Then her mother wouldn’t have died.
But all these “ifs” are too late to say now!
“Miss Fowler, your mother has passed away. She had saved 100,000 dollars in her account, and the master intends to give it to you as a gift. After you bury your mother, you should live your life well. As for things that shouldn’t be said, don’t talk about them outside!” The butler said.
“Things that shouldn’t be said? Are you referring to the fact that Clarissa pushed my mother, which caused her to fall and die?” Nancy stared at the butler with cold eyes.
“Your mother accidentally fell and it had nothing to do with Miss Schultz. You have no evidence. If you speak recklessly, the Schultz family can sue you for defamation!” The butler said.
“Defamation?” Nancy sneered, “So my mother died for nothing? Should Clarissa just act like nothing happened? She has blood on her hands and caused my mother’s death, but she hasn’t even apologized once!”
“What, do you want to extort money from the Schultz family?” The butler looked at Nancy with disdain.
Nancy found it ridiculous. She never wanted any money from the Schultz family. She just wanted to seek justice for her mother.
Her mother died in such a mysterious way, but the person who caused her death didn’t even apologize.
Finally, the butler threatened, “If you dare to spread rumors, don’t blame the Schultz family for making you leave Emerald City!”
In other words, if she really wanted to seek justice for her mother, the Schultz family would do everything to destroy her.
Nancy held her mother’s urn and came to the cemetery where she had bought a plot for her mother.
In the vast cemetery, she had spent all the money she had earned since she started working, but could only afford a cheap grave.
And for this funeral of her mother, some people… it was just her alone!
The cemetery staff helped her place the urn in the grave and then sealed the tomb.
Nancy stood alone in front of her mother’s tombstone, looking at the photo of her mother on the tombstone.
In the photo, her mother was smiling lightly, but did she ever think that after her death, it would be so desolate?
Born poor, she married into the Schultz family, but when she died, it was not under the name of Mrs.
Schultz, but still just Eileen.
No one from the Schultz family attended her funeral.
Nancy didn’t know how long she stood in front of the tombstone until it got dark and the rain started to fall. She smiled bitterly and said to the tombstone, “Mom, I’ll come see you again next time. Rest well.
I’ll come to see you often and talk to you. I have a lot to say to you!”
But she felt like she had so much to say, yet standing in front of the tombstone, she couldn’t say a word.
Nancy left the cemetery and walked on the road like this.
The rain was getting heavier, but she didn’t seem to notice, walking in the rain like this.
The sadness in her heart was all stuck in her chest, making her extremely uncomfortable.
Her mother’s funeral, only she was there!
And she, having lost her mother, had become a person in the end!
The whole world seemed to have become empty for her, leaving her alone!
Just as Nancy was immersed in her own world, she suddenly heard a piercing horn, and then her arm was pulled back with force.
Nancy fell heavily into a broad embrace and saw only a truck speeding past her. Then, a man’s voice sounded in her ear, “Are you trying to get yourself killed? Walking in the middle of the road like that?”
Nancy lifted her head in confusion, her vision blurred by the rain, and saw a face that was both unfamiliar and somewhat familiar.
It was Mick!
Nancy was stunned. She never expected to run into Mick at this moment.
Standing next to Mick was a bodyguard holding a large umbrella to shield Mick from the pouring rain.
“Why are you here?” Nancy murmured.
“I should be asking you that. Are you trying to get yourself killed?” Mick replied irritably.
He had been on his way back to the Reed House when he saw a figure walking in the middle of the road. Although the passing vehicles were avoiding her, it was still extremely dangerous.
Normally, he wouldn’t have paid any attention to someone so reckless.
But her back view somehow seemed familiar to him.
It wasn’t until the car got closer that he finally recognized her!
He immediately told the driver to stop the car, got out, and pulled her to safety!
Even he himself didn’t expect to act in such a way.
“Mick… do you know that dying is actually very casy?” Nancy murmured.
Her dull eyes and drenched appearance made him frown, and her words made him feel uneasy.
But he couldn’t quite put his finger on why.
“So, do you want to die?” he asked, staring at her.
Die?
In Nancy’s mind, she once again saw the image of her mother falling from the building, and the sight of her mother’s body covered in a white sheet at the hospital.
Even the last conversation she had with her mother was an argument.
If… her mother hadn’t tried to stop Clarissa, if her mother hadn’t tried to help her… then her mother wouldn’t have died!
“I… I don’t want to die,” she choked out. Her mother had risked her life to save hers, and she needed to cherish it.
Even if she was the only one left in her life, she had to keep living!
As long as she was alive, there would still be someone in the world who remembered her mother, who would visit her grave on Qingming and Dongzhi.
If she died too, then who would remember her mother?
“Since you don’t want to die, then…”
Mick’s words were cut off as Nancy suddenly hugged him around the waist, burying her face in his chest and bursting into tears.
The bodyguard holding the umbrella was startled and instinctively reached out to pull Nancy away from
Mick.
Mick raised his hand to stop the bodyguard’s action and let Nancy cry on his shoulder.
As she cried, sometimes gasping for air, he gently patted her back to help her breathe.
Nancy didn’t know how long she had cried for until she came back to her senses and found herself in
Mick’s car.
“Where are we going?” she asked.
“I’ll take you home first,” he said.
Home?
Where was she going? Back to the Schultz family or to her own narrow and cold rental room?
She didn’t want to go to either of them!
“I don’t want to go back! Don’t take me home. Just drop me off somewhere with more people,” she said.
Today, she didn’t want to be alone!
She didn’t want to be surrounded by that lonely and cold feeling, which would make her feel even more deeply that she had become an orphan, all alone in the world.
Mick looked at Nancy and, after a moment of contemplation, told the driver an address.
“Where is this place?” Nancy asked.
