Chapter 416: Telling her the truth
Chapter 416: Telling her the truthIt’s been ten hours since Nancy had been sleeping, yet she still hadn’t woken up. Nanny Xie was growing anxious as it was night already. The old woman had gone into Nancy’s room a few times to check on her, and this time made it the fourth or fifth time.
"Boy, what happened to Young Miss? Why is she sleeping so much?" she asked the two guards standing before her at the entrance to Nancy’s room.
"Ms. Nancy hadn’t been sleeping well for nearly five years," Death answered.
"And none of you told me?!" The woman almost bit her tongue from despair. It hurts to know that the child she took care of and watched grow up into a fine lady ended up becoming a shell of herself and growing up to live someone else’s life.
"Nancy is sick! Have you forgotten that?! Now she doesn’t have enough sleep, coupled with the anxiety and stress she is going through every day in that house. Oh, my poor child!... It’s my fault that you ended up this way." The old woman started to wail.
"Nanny Xie," Nancy’s voice sounded from behind them. No one knew when she woke up.
The old woman and the guards turned to look at her. She was wearing a long black silky wrapping night dress. She looked beautiful and elegant as always.
"Child, you’re awake. I had the kitchen prepare something for you. Come," the woman immediately pretended like nothing was wrong and ushered Nancy into the dining room, where different dishes of appetizing food were spread on the table.
"I asked the kitchen to prepare your favorites." The old woman smiled.
The two sat on the table as the woman silently watched her eat.
"You should eat something too," Nancy scoped some rice for the woman.
The woman had lost her appetite but could say so for fear that Nancy would also stop eating.
The woman waited for Nancy to finish eating. After the maid came to clear the table, Nanny Xie finally spoke, "Child, what have you decided to do with your illness? I’ve
Nanny Xie shook her head in disbelief as she took a few steps back," N– no, this cannot be real!"
She glanced at Death and Nightcrawler. The two had their heads down and refused to look at her.
"Talk to me!... Is she telling the truth?!" The woman yelled in pain. One could feel the heartbreak in her voice.
Nightcrawler raised his head and promised, "We’ll search for the Rainborite ore, I promise you, Madam!"
"Is the rainborite ore so easy to find?" The woman broke down in tears and sat on the floor, slapping her chest and blaming herself. If it weren’t because she threatened Nancy with her life, Nancy wouldn’t have agreed to accept her twin sister’s heart, nor would she have accepted to come with her mother to SIN CITY. Everything was her fault! She thought.
