When the children finally fell asleep, Nancy turned to Charles and asked,
"Charles, are you going to the guest room tonight, or will I?
No. You are the owner of this house, and I am just a guest. You should sleep in the master’s bedroom
and I’ll sleep in the guest room."
Charles remained quiet, so Nancy stood up to go to the guest room.
However, when she passed by Charles, she felt a sharp pain on her arm.
His grip was so tight that Nancy cried out in pain. "What are you doing?"
Without letting go of her arm, Charles closed the door and said in a hoarse voice,
"Didn't I say that I wanted to have a good talk with you?"
"Okay, what do you want to talk about?" asked Nancy.
"Are you still their mother?" It could be told from the way he dragged her that he was really mad.
When Charles finally let go of her, Nancy glared at him while rubbing her arm that was now turning red.
"If you have something to say, just say it. Don't act crazy."
"Okay, I'll go straight to the point. Nadia is sick today because she ate too much this morning. She is
still too young to eat much. As a mother, please explain what you’ve done." His breathing labored as he
tried to suppress his anger.
"You’re blaming me for what happened to Nadia, aren’t you?" Shaking her head, Nancy looked at him
in disbelief.
"Isn't it right?" Charles raised his eyebrows and stared at Nancy viciously.
"I admit that it's my fault, but I have so much to do, Charles. I have to cook for the children and prepare
the clothes they will wear. As a doctor, I am very busy too. I didn't notice it when they had breakfast. I
won’t intentionally let my own daughter eat so much." These past few days had been hectic for Nancy,
and the last she needed was to be reprimanded.
Why didn't Charles understand her at all?
"You are very busy. Am I not? But what did I do today? I left all my clients and social engagements to
be with Nadia. How about you? Tell me, Nancy, what did you do today?" Maybe it was because Charles
was trying his best to be tolerant that veins stood out on his forehead. He was like an angry lion
clenching his fists, refraining himself from attacking his prey.
"Nana is in a bad mental state today. I can't leave her alone..." In Nancy's opinion, this was a good
reason. After all, Nana was a patient and she was a doctor. But it was not enough to calm Charles
down.
"Charles, thank you for keeping Nadia company. I'm sorry. I've been really busy today..." Although
Nancy was also a little annoyed with his remarks, she also felt the need to apologize. After all, she was
Nadia’s mother and she was a doctor, but she was not able to take care of her own child.
No matter what she said, Charles only pursed his lips and didn’t say anything.
"I will pay more attention to it in the future. As long as the children are with me, I will not let them suffer
like today!" The more she explained, the more furious Charles became, because she still hadn’t said
what he wanted to hear.
When he couldn't take it anymore, he snapped, "Nancy!" His voice was so loud that it made Nancy
flinch in fear.
"Charles, I've explained everything. What else do you want me to say? I'm also worried about Nadia.
I've called you countless times, but you didn't answer any of them. What can I do?"
"Well, Nadia waited for you at the door of the operating room for so long. Tell me, where have you
been?" Afraid that he would wake the children up, Charles tried to hold back his anger as much as
possible. His breathing was heavy, and the uncontrollable rage he had almost burst out from his chest.
"I...I..." Until this very moment, Nancy was still wondering whether she should tell Charles that she had
a meal with Rick. A part of her thought that it was unnecessary since they weren’t together anymore,
but the other part was telling her to let Charles know about it.
As she hesitated, Charles stared at her with fiery eyes.
"Well, I did have a meal with Rick today, but it's not like what the internet said. That's too unreal. If
we’re really having an affair, I wouldn’t be that careless in public."
What she said took Charles by surprise. ‘The internet?’
"Nancy, what do you mean by that?" Since Charles kept his phone turned off the whole day to spend
time with Nadia, he had no idea what was going on with the internet.
He hated being clueless, so he took out his phone and browsed the internet.
As soon as he saw the photos, his eyes narrowed.
'Nancy is really somebody.'
It turned out that while he was accompanying the children, she was busy falling in love with Rick.
"Nancy, do you like Rick?" Anger and disappointment were evident in his voice.
Did she just make a fool out of him?
"Yes. Women tend to like such a good person, right?" Nancy replied. 'Now that Charles misunderstood
me, I’ll just let him be.'
If they continued to tangle like this, they would both end up being drained.
It was not hard to tell that Charles and Nancy were both tired already, so it was better this way.
"Nancy, you've gone too far!" If it wasn’t for the children, Charles would’ve shouted all his anger.
At this moment, he even had the urge to tear Nancy into pieces.
"Charles, aren’t you the one who’s going too far? Nana was so close to recovering, but her medicine
was replaced. It was locked in the cabinet and there’s a nurse responsible for it. Others couldn’t open it
without the key but... It had been replaced. Don't tell me you don’t know anything about it at all. You are
just afraid that Nana will wake up, so you’re preventing it to happen. Because you knew that when she
wakes up, she can destroy your family. You and Fu family... You are bound together. Don't be so
hypocritical. I have seen through you!"
With a snap, Nancy felt a sharp pain in her face.
"Did you just hit me?" With her hand supporting her face, Nancy looked at him in shock.
The hand he used to slap Nancy was trembling. He only did it because he was too angry. He knew
nothing and did nothing bad. Why did he have to face the slander from Nancy?
All of a sudden, he felt that all his words were so powerless. Without even giving him a chance to
explain, Nancy was so arbitrary to conclude that it was him who had done it.
The two of them had been together for such a long time. How could they get such a result?
Even if they didn't have a connection, they wouldn't have misunderstood each other so deeply!
To say that Charles was disappointed was an understatement.
But even so, he would not let Nancy go.
"Nancy, listen to me carefully. I didn’t do anything. You can refuse to believe me, but I have to say it."
"Charles, why did you hit me?" Enraged, Nancy stood up and used all her strength to slap Charles'
face.
Although he could dodge it, Charles didn't. After all, he was the one who hit Nancy first, and he
deserved it.
A red mark gradually appeared on his face, but he ignored the pain.
"Very good. Now we are even. We don't owe each other anymore."
After saying that, Charles went out of the room.
"Charles! You bastard! You bastard!" Even when Charles had already walked in the bathroom, Nancy
still kept cursing.
However, he only turned a deaf ear.
When she got tired, Nancy looked at her watch and saw that it was already too late for her to leave.
Besides, she stayed here for the children, not for Charles.
Therefore, Nancy chose to sleep her anger away.
She thought she would leave tomorrow morning.
But she didn't expect that Charles would do something while she was asleep.
