Chapter 45 Let’s Go Home, I Want a Hug

A day later, it was Grandpa’s funeral.

The funeral parlor was solemn and oppressive, with many people coming to pay

Nancy silently knelt in front of the memorial hall, gazing at Grandpa’s photo.

Grandpa had said he didn’t want her to cry.

She had also listened to Grandpa, not shedding a tear.

On the day of the burial, it rained heavily.

The rain poured down relentlessly.

their respects.

Nancy wore black clothes with a white flower pinned to her chest. She held a black umbrella and stood among the crowd.

It was as if she could see Grandpa smiling at her through the pouring rain.

He said, “Nancy, don’t cry. I like to see you smile. You’re most beautiful when you smile.”

Thus, Nancy had been holding on.

It wasn’t until all the guests had left that she threw away the umbrella, staggered to Grandpa’s tombstone, and knelt with a thud.

“Grandpa, I’ve been good. I listened to you, and I didn’t cry.”

“I didn’t cry.”

Her tears flowed like a faucet turned on full blast.

Nancy suddenly felt grateful for the heavy rain because it hid her tears from everyone’s view.

But how could she not be sad?

How could she not be heartbroken?

Nicholas remained kneeling in front of Grandpa’s tombstone, his entire body soaked by the rain. However, he continued to kneel resolutely.

No matter who tried to pull him away, it had no use.

He knelt, looking at Grandpa’s photo with firm.

eyes.

Nancy knew he was blaming himself, seeking redemption. From NôvelDrama.Org.

He believed he had made Grandpa angry. If it’s not because of him, Grandpa may have been able to stay with them a little longer.

“Nicholas… “Nancy approached and tried to pull him away.

But Nicholas remained firmly on his knees, showing no signs of wavering.

“I’ll have Lynn take you back. You haven’t slept in days. Go home and rest well. Grandpa would want you to be fine.”

“You haven’t slept either. You need rest,” Nancy said, her heart aching as she looked at him.

The heavy rain washed over both of them, leaving them soaked.

Rainwater dripped down their hair and faces, flowing relentlessly.

“Nicholas, Grandpa wouldn’t want to see you like this. Get up, let’s go home.”

Nancy reached out to pull him up.

Suddenly, Nicholas reached out and pulled Nancy into his arms.

In the next moment, Nancy heard him sobbing. He buried his head in her neck and cried in

Sorrow.

Though he had been trying to restrain himself, Nancy could still feel the intense trembling throughout his body.

Nancy reached out and gently cradled his head in her arms.

She had always thought she would be the one who was the most devastated by Grandpa’s passing.

But at this moment, she realized she was wrong.

Nicholas was the one suffering the most.

Grandpa had taught him since he was a child, learning how to be a person and how to do business.

Grandpa passed down all his skills to him.

Grandpa had been with him through every stage of his life.

But now, Grandpa had left him and his world suddenly.

“I am a sinner, aren’t I? I caused Grandpa’s death.”

“If I hadn’t insisted on getting a divorce and angered him, he wouldn’t have left.”

Nicholas murmured in sadness. His eyes were red and filled with bloodshot, and he no longer had the elegant and handsome appearance he used to have.

Nancy looked at him, feeling even more heartbroken.

She reached out and held him tighter, softly comforting him, “Grandpa loved you so much. He wouldn’t blame you.”

“Grandpa said he didn’t leave. He just went there to be with Grandma.”

“Is that true?” He raised his head, and his dark eyes looked at her like a helpless child.

Nancy nodded, “Yes, Grandpa told me this himself

“The wind is so strong, and I’m so cold. Nicholas, can we go home?”

After Nancy finished her words, she suddenly felt intense pain in her lower abdomen before she could get an answer.

She knew all too well about the tugging and pain.

Thinking of the baby, she instantly had a bad feeling.

“What’s wrong?” Nicholas keenly noticed her distress.

“Nicholas, 1…” She looked up, her gaze nervous as she said, “My stomach hurts.”

Nicholas bent down and scooped her into his arms, striding forward with long steps. “Don’t worry, we’re going home right away.”

“Okay.” Nancy managed a relieved smile but nodded with difficulty.

However, the pain in her abdomen was becoming increasingly unbearable.

They were in the car.

Nicholas instructed Lynn Dawn to turn the temperature to the maximum.

Warm air enveloped the entire car, gradually warming it up.

But even so, Nancy frowned, feeling her lower abdomen was in excruciating pain.

She wasn’t afraid of the pain.

But she was afraid for the baby.

She was afraid.

Very, very scared.

“Nicholas, I need to go to the hospital. Can you take me to the hospital as quickly as possible?”

Of course, don’t worry. I’m here and won’t let anything happen to you.”

Finished speaking, Nicholas held her tightly in his arms and comforted her gently, “Close your eyes and rest. I’ll wake you up when we reach the hospital.”

“Okay.”

The next moment, she felt a warmth on her lower abdomen.

Looking down, she saw Nicholas’ hand covering her belly, keeping her warm.

A faint smile appeared on Nancy’s pale face. With that smile, she closed her eyes and fell asleep in

his arms.

Perhaps she’s too tired. As soon as she closed her eyes, she drifted off into sleep.

When Nancy opened her eyes, she was already in the hospital.

“Are you awake?” Nicholas placed her on the hospital bed and brought a pillow to lean on.

Nancy immediately noticed that she was wearing pure cotton pajamas and looked at him in surprise.

Nicholas replied, “Your clothes were all wet, and it’s easy to get sick. I changed them for you.”

“You…” Nancy stared at him, and after a while, she managed to squeeze out a sentence, “How can you change my clothes?”

“As your husband, I believe I have the right to change my wife’s clothes, Nicholas said calmly.

Wife?

It was such a gentle and intimate term.

If she remembered correctly, this was the first time he had used it since they got married.

“How’s your stomach? Is it still hurting? Do you feel better?”

“It’s a bit better, but it still hurts,” Nancy replied.

“Okay, wait here. I’ll call the doctor.”

Thinking about her pregnancy, Nancy immediately added, “Call the same doctor as last time.”

“That doctor might not be available, Nicholas said.

“It’s okay,” Nancy smiled and said, “I’m much better now, and that doctor knows my situation. better. Besides, I like her, so I’d like her to examine me.”

“Okay.”

Luckily, when Nicholas went to find the doctor, she was in her office.

When she entered the room and saw Nancy, she recognized her immediately.

The doctor reacted swiftly and turned to Nicholas, saying, “Family member, please step out.”

After the examination, the doctor looked at Nancy and said, “There are some signs of a miscarriage, but luckily, the bleeding has stopped. You must take the anti-miscarriage medication as scheduled for the next few days. If there’s any bleeding, come to the hospital immediately.”

“Okay, thank you, Doctor.”

After the doctor left, Nicholas entered the room and asked, “What did the doctor say?”

“She prescribed some medication. It shouldn’t be a big problem,” Nancy replied.

“Alright, I’ll have Lynn take you back home.”

Nicholas started to walk towards the door to call Lynn.

Nancy immediately got off the bed and hugged him from behind. “Nicholas, don’t go.”

Nicholas’ tall figure froze in place, and he asked in disbelief, “Nancy, are you

“I know you want to return to Grandpa’s grave to atone for your actions. But please, don’t go. Grandpa wouldn’t want you to do that. Can you take me home instead?”

“I haven’t slept for days and can’t sleep without you hugging me.”
