Chapter 184 Shocked Nancy

As expected, an awkward silence fell when Nancy gave her answer.

Nicholas frowned. “Why are you thinking about Madelline?”

“She’s your first love and the woman you love the most. Every time she comes back, you change. Youschemed and plotted to divorce me just because of her. Do you think I can really be calm in the face ofthat?” Nancy muttered.

“Are you worried I’ll be stolen away?” Finally, Nicholas was in a better mood again.

She nodded. “Yes,”

Now, he was no longer angry.

Instead, she was the one who was angry.

He knew she was worried about that, yet he acted like it was nothing.

Suddenly, Nancy was wrapped in a hug.

Nicholas’ hands gently stroked her hair as he looked at her with warm eyes. “My silly girl, she’s alreadyout of the country. She won’t be back again or affect us.”

“What if she comes back one day?” Nancy’s eyes were red with anger. “Will you push me away toreturn to her embrace?”

“What are you saying? Putting aside the fact that she can’t come back, even if she does, nothing willchange. Nancy, all you need to know is that you are the woman I love now. That is enough.”

Nancy did not know if she should believe Nicholas’ words.

In the past, she had always thought the greatest barrier between them was the lack of love. She nowrealized that even if they loved each other, there were many insurmountable divides between them.

Even at this stage, she did not know if she was making the right decision.

She was utterly lost.

“Who is this Mr. Jadin that woman mentioned just now? Do you like him?” Nicholas abruptly asked ashe recalled what happened a few minutes ago.

Nancy immediately shook her head. “It’s nothing. Everyone just misunderstood what’s going on.”

“Oh?” He did not quite believe that.

“It’s true. Everyone’s just mistaken. It’s because Mr. Jadin is single and quite handsome. We bumpedinto each other a few times, so my colleagues all think I’m doing it on purpose. Now, there are rumorsabout how I bumped into him to get his attention because I like him. It was honestly just an accident.”

Nancy did not hide anything and told Nicholas everything.

“Accident?” His gaze darkened.

“It really was an accident. There was a time when my colleagues saw me staring at him. That’s whythey thought I liked him. It was all because of you, though.”

He raised an eyebrow and silently waited for her to continue.

“It was that day in the restaurant. The lights were dim. While he drank with everyone else, I thought helooked like you, especially the way he held himself. Hence, I glanced at him a few times. That waswhen the rumors started.”

“Is his full name Julian Jadin?” Nicholas asked.

Nancy nodded, surprise flashing in her eyes. “Yes. Do you know him?”

“No,” he responded without hesitation before saying. “I have heard of him, though. Listen to me, Nancy.Stay away from him, especially everyone in his family.”

“Okay.” She nodded.

Julian was the head of the hospital, and Nancy was just a medical student who was interning there. Asa doctor who did not even stand a chance to hold a scalpel, she would never interact with him thatoften.

Hence, they were not close.

To her surprise, Nicholas seemed to replace Julian important enough to emphasize once more, “Nancy, didyou hear me? Stay away from him and his family. Do not accept anything his family gives you.”

He then prompted in a louder voice, “Got it?”

“Yes. I will remember that,” she said with another nod.

When Nancy was about to clock off for the day, one of her colleagues told her a wealthy middle-aged.woman was looking for her.

Nancy was confused as she did not know anyone who was considered wealthy.

At most, she could only name her mother. Even then, her mother had always kept a low profile andnever dressed up like she was rich.

Nancy only realized who it was when she saw the woman and smelled the perfume lingering in the air.

It really was a wealthy middle-aged woman.

Furthermore, it was Julian’s mother.

“Hello, ma’am. I hear you’re looking for me. Are you sure you have the right person?” Nancy asked,surprised

Unexpectedly, the woman nodded. “Yes. I’m looking for you. Well? How do you replace the hospital? Has itbeen easy adjusting to work? Do you have any problems? Just let Julian know if there’s anythingwrong. and he’ll fix it for you.”

Her rambling speech shocked Nancy.

However, she did not know this woman at all.

It was extremely unlikely the woman was asking for her because of Julian, as Nancy did not know him.well enough to even be considered an acquaintance.

The woman gently chuckled when she saw Nancy’s confusion.

“Oh, don’t be shy. Terence told me everything. Julian saved you a few days ago, and you stayed overat his place. My son is a great man, but he just refuses to get a girlfriend. When I heard that he broughtyou home, I was ecstatic and…”

The woman held out a gift box. “Here, a little gift for you. It’ll have to do for now. Once you two are in asteady relationship. I’ll have more gifts for you.”

That confused Nancy even more. She was practically petrified by now.

What is going on? Why do I not understand a single word?

“N-No, wait… Ma’am, please calm down. I believe there’s a misunderstanding. When did Mr. Jadin takeme home?”

The woman paused in thought and said, “During the welcoming party for the new staff. You were drunk,and Julian carried you to the car and took you home.”

The more she spoke, the more bewildered Nancy was. Right now, she was so confused that her mind.was blank.

It felt like Nicholas had driven her home. Why had it suddenly become Julian?

“I don’t know the details, but Terence said my son helped you to the car and took you home.”

Nancy was speechless.

On that evening, when Julian helped her to the car, the driver accidentally drove them to Julian’s

home.

Terence took one look and made his own assumptions. Then, he immediately reported it to Julian’smother.

Unbeknownst to them, Julian swiftly told the driver to turn around to send Nancy home.

Thus, the misunderstanding was born.

Nancy felt her head throb, and she felt faint.

Worst of all, Julian’s mother was so insistent that Julian took Nancy to his home because he liked her,so she gave Nancy several priceless pieces of jewelry.

Naturally, Nancy could not accept the gift. However, Julian’s mother was very insistent and refused totake back the gift.

However, as the conversation came to an end, she abruptly pushed the box in Nancy’s direction anddeparted.

Nancy glanced at the box of jewelry, feeling a throbbing headache starting to form at the back of herhead.

Considering their high value, she hesitated to simply leave them unattended.

Letting out a sigh, she decided to take the box back to the lab.

During the journey, she pondered intensely until a brilliant idea suddenly came to her.

Fortunately, she had finished her shift. After changing her clothes, she promptly brought the box toJulian’s office.
