For a moment, Nana fell silent. She lowered her head and thought of what had happened recently.
The truth was, she had been completely awake after she was drugged last time.
But the past was so horrible that she didn't know how to face it, so she kept it to herself.
When she was finally ready to tell the truth, she told everything to Colten, including all the businesses
Derrick had run.
That was why Colten took Derrick away. If there was no evidence, he wouldn't have dared.
"Well, I'm better now. How about you? Are you okay?"
The way Nana spoke made Nancy certain that she was completely awake now.
And it was a good thing.
Before Nancy replied, she put down the things she was holding first, and then she wiped the sweat that
broke on her forehead. "Well, I'm fine. I won't work here anymore. You should take good care of
yourself. By the way, where are you going once you get discharged from the hospital?"
Basically, Nana had lost contact with the outside world after she worked in the club for so many years,
so Nancy didn't know who would help her after this. Although Nana was already free from the hell she
had been, Nancy still couldn't stop worrying about her future.
"Don't worry about me. I have called my family. They will come to pick me up. As for the future, I think I
will be fine. I will try hard to live well." Looking at the smile on Nana's face, Nancy felt a little relieved.
"Well, that's good. Anyway, here's my new contact number. You can contact me anytime you need
help." Nancy gave her phone number to Nana.
"Okay."
"Then I'll go now." After taking a deep breath, Nancy stood up and picked up her things.
"Okay. Thank you, Nancy." "Don't mention it, Nana. It's not like I did anything special."
Nancy flashed a reassuring smile. "Don't hesitate to call me when you need anything, okay?" Then she
turned around to leave the room.
Although Nancy couldn't hear her anymore, Nana still muttered, "Okay."
The past was gone, and her nightmare was over. Now, she had the future to look forward to.
This was the freedom she had longed for, and she had to make the best out of it.
Meanwhile, Nancy's mind was in haywire while she was on her way to Charles' house. This time, she
was really going to leave.
As for the children, she had no choice but to leave them to Charles. Since she had lost her job, she
couldn't guarantee their future with her, and she couldn't provide the things Charles could.
As soon as she arrived, Nancy packed her things and wrote a note that said, "Charles, take good care
of the kids. I'm leaving."
It was a simple sentence, but it contained too much reluctance. Every word she wrote was like a knife
that pierced her heart, to the point where she had to look up to prevent her tears from falling.
After everything was settled, she quickly hailed a taxi and looked for a hotel.
Her apartment would be the first place Charles would go to, and she didn't want them to cross paths
anymore. They couldn't be together, so it had to end here.
When Charles couldn't contact Nancy, he drove back home in a hurry. Her car was parked in the
courtyard, so he breathed a sigh of relief. 'Fortunately, Nancy is still here.'
What he didn't know was that she left the car on purpose. "Nancy?"
The deafening silence welcomed him when he entered the house. Nancy wasn't there. All that was left
of her was the note on the tea table.
After reading it, Charles was speechless for a while. Then he threw the paper away.
"Damn it!"
Soon, Nancy arrived at the hotel. She had nothing to do, so she checked her phone, only to see
several invitations from different hospitals. All of them wanted her to be a pediatrician in their hospitals.
The pay and welfare were good, but she didn't agree to anything yet, nor did she reject them. She just
said that she had to think it over.
For now, what she wanted to do was rest for a period of time.
The things she had gone through recently had completely drained her, so she wanted to take a break.
Perhaps this was the reason why she slept the whole day in her hotel room.
On the contrary, Charles was in a mess.
Nancy had always been like a floating cloud to him, which he couldn't catch. To be honest, if he wanted
to find Nancy now, he easily could. But what about his grandfather?
How could he ignore Frederic's feelings?
The whole day had been a torture to him. And then the time he had to pick up the kids came.
The children were both extremely happy thinking that their parents had finally made up. They thought
there was no need to worry about their future anymore. They were a complete family, and they would
live happily together.
Therefore, no matter how long they had to wait for Charles or Nancy to pick them up, they were still in a
good mood.
However, as soon as they saw Charles got out of the car from a distance, their smiles disappeared.
"Daddy doesn't look good." Frowning, Nadia turned to Bobby.
"Nadia, you are right. Daddy doesn't look good."
"What happened to Daddy?" Nadia asked.
Shaking his head, Bobby replied, "I don't know. Maybe he had a fight with Mommy."
"What? Why did they quarrel again?"
"Well, I hope I guess it wrong." With a sigh, Bobby said goodbye to the teacher. Then he held Nadia's
hand and walked out.
"Daddy, where is Mommy?" It was Nadia who dared to ask.
Not knowing what to say, Charles just turned around and opened the car door for them.
"Let's go. You two, get in the car." How could he tell them that Nancy left again, and that this time, it
might be for good?
"Daddy, did you quarrel with Mommy again?" Disappointment flashed through Bobby's eyes. "You are a
man. Why do you always make Mommy angry? Mommy is having a hard time, and you don't seem to
do anything to make things better."
"No, we didn't fight," said Charles flatly.
"Then where is Mommy?" Nadia asked worriedly.
"I don't know." It was the truth. Nancy left the children and didn't answer his call. He tried calling her
several times, but the number was unoccupied.
It seemed like she had given up now, and she didn't want to be with them anymore.
The only bargaining chip he had now was the children. Nancy was ambitious, but she loved the
children very much. He thought, even if she left for a few days, she would definitely come back to see
them.
The kids had always been her concern, and the only line that was connecting him to her.
It was impossible for her to stay away for too long.
Speechless, Bobby and Nadia looked at each other. Even Charles didn't know where Nancy was.
In the past, whether their mommy left at her will or disappeared, as long as they asked, their daddy
would say she went on a trip or something. But now he just said he didn't know.
Were they really going to part ways?
What about them?
"You don't know where Mommy is?" There was a hint of disbelief in Bobby's voice.
"I don't know."
His father's reply made Bobby angry. He took the phone from Charles and called Nancy. When he
found that her phone number was non-exist, he dialed Doris' number.
At this time, Doris was playing with Ace. He grew up very fast and could now crawl on the floor. He was
like a little ball of sunshine.
When her phone rang and Doris saw Charles' name on the screen, she answered it in a hurry.
"Godmother, is my Mommy with you?"
This question made Doris frown. "Bobby, don't tell me your mommy is missing again."
"Yes, she is missing again, and her phone number is non-exist. We don't know where she went."
"What?" 'What is this woman doing again?
Why does she run away instead of marrying Charles?' she wondered.
"Yes, I called Mommy just now, but I couldn't get through," Bobby continued.
"What about your daddy? What about him? Is he going to be with Brandy? Did Nancy leave because of
it?" Doris said crossly.
