Chapter 66: Don’t Cry, I’m Here

Nancy stepped out from the villa. The previously sunny day suddenly turned gloomy.

She walked step by step towards the main road. Her heart was bleeding in pain.

Whether it was Lily’s threat today to make her promise to help Vivian act, or Lily’s final questioning about her and Charlie, every word felt like a needle, piercing fiercely into her heart.

Truly, the maternal love easily acquired by others was a luxury she could only dream of. It was something she never had.

But she was a child too. Like other children, she yearned for her mother’s love

and care…

Suddenly, a few flashes of lightning appeared in the sky, followed by the

rumbling of thunder. Nancy seemed oblivious, continuing to walk mechanically. on the road.

The next second, a heavy rain poured down. Nancy walked on the sidewalk The rain wet her entirely as it flowed down her hair.

There weren’t many people on the road, only the occasional cars racing by.

With open eyes, Nancy trudged along. She let the rain wash over her, like a walking dead without any emotions.

Charlie rushed out of his house, dialing Nancy’s phone non–stop. But her phone was switched off. He just couldn’t get through.

He even tried messaging her, but received no response.

Frustrated and angry, he drove his car towards Vivian’s villa, repeatedly thinking about what he would do if he didn’t see Nancy, and if Vivian really switched to Nancy.

At this moment, he realized how much Nancy meant to him, and how much he cared about her.

He was terrified that Nancy would leave his world completely after making the switch with Vivian.

As he fiercely gripped the steering wheel, he said through his teeth, “Nancy, no matter where you’re hiding, I’ll find you! I make you regret everything you did.

today!”

All of a sudden, his gaze fell on a figure walking on the roadside, standing out. in the pouring rain. Even the person was soaked, and even the rain blurred his vision, Charlie recognized her at a glance

With a sudden screech, Charlie stopped the car. He didn’t bother to grab an umbrella and immediately rushed towards the person.

“Nancy!”

As he reached her, he shouted angrily, “Did you switch with Vivian? Are you planning to leave?”

Nancy slowly lifted her eyes. With the rainwater in between, she recognized the face of the man in front of her. All the grievances and sadness in her heart welled up and the tears that she had been holding back could no longer be Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

contained.

She looked at Charlie and broke into tears, “Charlie…”

All of Charlie’s anger disappeared at Nancy’s crying.

Even though he hadn’t known Nancy, for long, he knew that she was an independent and strong girl.

When she cried her heart out, his heart melted and his anger faded away.

“Nan…” He hated to see her suffer like this.

Charlie moved closer, pulling Nancy into his arms. His hands gripped onto her tightly, as if he was afraid that she would disappear, “Don’t cry. I’m here.”
