Her lips touched his, and the cool sensation spread from his lips to hers.
Although it wasn’t the first time she had kissed him, every kiss made her nervous, afraid that he would push her away, afraid of seeing disgust in his eyes.
She tentatively touched his lips with her tongue, and when she was sure he didn’t want to push her away, she became bolder.
Nancy deepened the kiss, and her tongue entered Mick’s mouth.
She wanted to make sure of his interest in her, and her body was her bargaining chip.
The touch of lips and teeth, the entanglement of tongues…at first, she took the initiative, but later, he took control.
Nancy was almost out of breath from the kiss. When it finally ended, she gasped for air and blushed.
“Stay by my side from now on, and maybe my liking for you will grow.” She heard him say this in her ear.
As Mick and Nancy left the restaurant, several people walked out of another private room in the restaurant, and some of them happened to see Mick and Nancy.
“Hey, that’s Mick. He’s dining here today too,” one of the women said.
These people were all second or third-generation wealthy people in Emerald City, and some of them had been trying to curry favor with the Reed family. Naturally, they recognized
Mick at a glance.
“Who is the woman next to him? Is she from the Reed family? It’s rare to see him dining with a woman,” someone asked.
“It’s not his sister… Oh, Clarissa, that woman seems to be your sister,” another person said.
Clarissa had already noticed that the person walking with Mick to the restaurant and about to get into the car was
Nancy.
“Clarissa’s sister? Oh, the one brought in by her stepmother, right? I remember Clarissa used to boss her sister around and treat her like a servant,” someone said.
“Hehe, she used to be a servant, but now that her sister has hooked up with Mick, she’s going to be someone important. Who knows who will be the servant then!”
another person joked.
Clarissa’s friends teased her.
Clarissa’s face turned extremely ugly, and she almost bit her teeth off.
How could she possibly suck up to that bitch Nancy!
The next day, while Nancy was working at the hotel, she suddenly received a call from the Schultz family, saying that her mother had left something at the Schultz family’s place and asked her to come and get it.
However, when Nancy arrived at the Schultz family’s place, she found Clarissa and her former stepfather Francis Schultz waiting for her in the living room, and the atmosphere was clearly not friendly.
“Where are my mother’s things?” Nancy asked.
“No rush, you’ll get them later,” Francis Schultz said. “I heard you’ve been getting close to Mick from the Reed family lately?”
Nancy looked at Francis warily. It seemed that today was not just about getting her mother’s things.
“Don’t look at me like that. After all, we’re still family. Now that you’re close to Mick, it’s a good thing. If you need any help from the Schultz family, just ask,” Francis said, pretending to be a kind father.
“No need,” Nancy replied with disgust. “You and my mother are no longer husband and wife, so there’s no way we can be father and daughter.”
Francis’s face changed, while Clarissa beside him shouted, “Dad, I told you before, she doesn’t care about you at all. She’s just a selfish person!”
Francis felt regretful in his heart, but he still spoke kindly to Nancy, “Why do you have to be like this? I know I hurt your feelings when I divorced your mother while she was in the hospital, but with the help of the Schultz family, you can easily win over Mick’s favor. It’s a win-win situation, why refuse?”
“Win-win?” Nancy looked at Francis. “So it seems that you want to use me for something related to Mick?”
Francis didn’t beat around the bush and said directly, “Yes,
Reed Group has a project in the west of the city, and the Schultz family wants to participate. As long as you can say some good things about the Schultz family in Mick’s ear and help get this done, then afterwards…”
Before Francis could finish his sentence, Nancy directly refused, “I don’t want to!”
“You–” Francis’s old face suddenly became extremely ugly. “You better think it through. Do you think you can stay by Mick’s side forever if you refuse now?!”
“Can’t say for sure, you’ll know in the future.” Nancy suddenly smiled contemptuously at the Schultz family, “For what you did to me and my mother, maybe it will come back to you someday.”
Saying that, she turned around and intended to leave.
“Nancy, don’t you want your mother’s things?” Clarissa shouted.
“Doesn’t matter. Think about it, her things should have been thrown away by you a long time ago.” In fact, she didn’t even need to come here. “By the way, who knows how long the Schultz family will be prosperous? Maybe soon, your things will be thrown out of here by someone.”
After speaking, Nancy left without hesitation.
“Nancy!” Clarissa shouted angrily. The person who used to cower in front of her dared to say such things to her!
But even if she shouted louder, Nancy didn’t look back.
Outside the Schultz family mansion, there was a long way to go before reaching the intersection. However, just as Nancy was about to reach the intersection, she heard the sound of a car starting behind her.
She turned around and saw Clarissa driving towards her.
Nancy suddenly felt uneasy. As the car got closer and closer to her, Clarissa’s angry and crazy face was reflected in the windshield…
Mick received a call from Nancy’s phone, but it wasn’t Nancy on the other end. It was a strange man’s voice.
“Hello, are you a friend of Miss Nancy? Due to a car accident,
Nancy is now in the hospital in a coma. As you are the most recent contact in her phone, if you are her friend, please come to the hospital.”
Car accident? Hospital?
When these words came through the phone, Mick even felt a blank in his mind.
After finding out which hospital Nancy was in, Mick hurriedly rushed downstairs to drive there, but he found that his hands were trembling slightly. With hands like this, he might not even be able to hold the steering wheel steady.
In the end, Mick had the driver take him to the hospital. Along the way, his heart was in turmoil, and a strange feeling kept spreading from his chest to his whole body. It was as if his heart was constantly sinking, and every flow of blood made his body even colder. What was this feeling?
Was it fear? Fear for Nancy’s safety, fear that her injuries were too severe? Or even fear that she…
He almost didn’t dare to think further.
There was a time when he would never have imagined feeling this kind of fear for someone who wasn’t even a family member.
When he arrived at the hospital, he saw Nancy lying on a hospital bed with bandages on her head. The police officer who had called him was in the room, and when he saw Mick, he approached him and asked, “Are you Nancy’s friend, Mr.
Reed?”
“Yes, I am,” Mick replied.
“Nancy hasn’t been able to give a statement yet because she’s still unconscious. However, the other party involved in the accident said that Nancy suddenly rushed in front of her car, causing the accident.
Since there were no surveillance cameras at the scene, please inform the police when Nancy wakes up so that we can take her statement,” the officer said.
“Okay, I understand,” Mick said. “But I want to know who the other party involved in the accident is.”
“It’s Clarissa. The two of them used to be stepsisters, and the accident happened not far from the Schultz family’s house,” the police officer said.
At the same time, a form was handed to Mick for him to fill out.
This ordinary form was mainly for Mick to fill in his name, contact information, and home address.
However, when Mick finished filling it out and handed it back, the recipient looked at the form and seemed surprised.
“Is there anything else?” Mick asked impatiently. He needed to find out about Nancy’s condition from the doctor!
Being in a coma can be a serious matter.
Especially since she was only in a regular hospital room.
“No, everything’s fine!” the police officer quickly said before leaving the hospital room.
After leaving the room, the police officer couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief.
Mick… this Mr. Reed, was actually the eldest son of the Reed family, the richest family in Emerald City.
After all, Nancy’s phone contact only showed the name “Mr.
Reed.”
If it wasn’t for the address he provided, they might have thought it was just a coincidence.
The police had also investigated Nancy’s background during the hour since they received the report.
She was originally the stepdaughter of the Schultz family, but now she wasn’t even that. She worked at a hotel and had an ordinary job.
But who would have thought that such an ordinary woman could make a phone call to the eldest son of the Reed family and have him: rush to the hospital so quickly?
If he were to reveal this, it would probably be a shocking news story in Emerald City.
Not long after, the doctors and nurses moved Nancy to the best room in the hospital and explained her condition to Mick.
Mick remained cold-faced as the doctor cautiously explained the situation, barely daring to breathe.
To the doctor, Nancy’s condition seemed like a normal coma with some concussion, but nothing too serious.
However, Mr. Reed’s expression made it seem like the patient had a serious illness!
“When will she wake up?” Mick’s voice echoed in the hospital room.
“Um… she should wake up in a few hours at the latest,” the doctor replied.
“And how many hours exactly?” the icy voice carried a hint of displeasure.
“It shouldn’t be more than five hours. She’ll wake up within five hours,” the doctor answered cautiously, heart pounding like thunder.
After all, this was someone he couldn’t afford to offend!
Once the medical staff left, Mick sat by Nancy’s bedside.
She looked like a fragile object in her coma, making him feel heartbroken.
Yes, heartbroken!
