Chapter 59
I instantly regretted meeting Jackson here, and the more I thought about it, the more ufortable I felt.
Then, as I walked down the esctor, I wasn''t paying attention and missed a step.
Suddenly, I twisted my ankle, and a sharp pain shot up from my foot.
I furrowed my brows tightly as I bit back the pain and descended the esctor.Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org.
At that moment, Jackson called again, but the voice belonged to someone else.
"Yes, I''m at Entrance Three now. Could you please..." I began.
"Nancy?" A surprised voice came through the receiver, "It''s me, Dous.”
To my surprise, the person flustering around helping Jackson was Dous.
A while after we finally met up, Jackson gratefully said to me, "He helped me... He''s a great young man.”
Meanwhile, Dous patiently listened, not minding Jackson''s stutters.
He smiled gently. "You were great too, sir. But remember to check the floor numbers next time.
I exined to Jackson, "Dous and I were ssmates."
Jackson looked pleasantly surprised. "It’s... It''s fate.”
Dous told me that he was apanying his cousin on a shopping trip and unexpectedly ran into Jackson in the parking lot.
Apparently, Jackson had been stuck in the basement
Jackson nced at me before turning to Dous. "Nance, he... he helped me... Let''s... treat him to some food.”
It was only natural to do so, so I immediately asked Dous for his opinion.
Dousughed heartily. “Well, I am a bit hungry. I''ll ept your offer then.”
Hence, we went to a nearby restaurant.
At the restaurant, Dous was considerate and asked for Jackson''s opinion about the food. He’d even ordered a cup of tea for him
Jackson wasn''t a tea lover, but he held the cup and smiled at Dous''s kindness. At first, he was a bit awkward, but as Dous chatted with him, he

I nodded. "I hope you don''t find my taste too old-fashioned, Mr. Irvin.”
So, after the meal, the three of us went to the women''s section.
Jackson then picked out a tender pink jacket for Tina. "Her skin is as fair as yours," he exined shyly, like a young man in love. "It will definitely look
good on her.”
Tina was already 49 years old this year, but in Jackson''s eyes, she would always be young and lovely.
My nose prickled. "Let''s buy this then.”
"Don''t you want to try it on, Nancy?" Dous asked.
I had no intention of buying clothes, so I declined, saying. "You should pick one for Mrs. Irvin."
Dous seemed to understand my thoughts and said hesitantly, "Her body shape is simr to yours. Could you please try it on for me?"
Naturally, I wouldn''t refuse to help.
Dous had chosen an elegant light brown coat. The coat was soft and was made from an expensive fabric.
I sneakily nced at the price tag and saw it was over ten thousand dors.
It was fitting for someone of Dous''s status.
Then, as I came out of the fitting
room, the salesperson
enthusiastically approached us. =>

But before I could exin myself, a familiar voice chimed in, "Look, Aunt Kate. Isn''t that Nance and Mr. Irvin?"
I raised my gaze and immediately saw the trio across from us—Bruce, Cindy, and Kate.
