Chapter 415


    415 Nancy’s life


    “I wasn’t expecting you,” the Nanny said. (1)


    Nancy helped her to a’seat before she sat in front of the woman. “I didn’t think I’d be here either,” She


    replied.


    The Nanny sighed, “Your life must be hard.” she held Nancy’s hands, “Your hands are freezing, she


    leaned in and touched her forehead. “You are burning up… WhWhy are you wearing so little?” she


    red at the two guards standing behind Nancy and yelled with disappointment in her voice, “How


    could you not take proper care of your Miss?!”


    The guards bowed their heads even lower as the old woman reprimanded them.


    “Nanny Xie, they are innocent. It’s my fault.”


    The old woman shook her head, “You don’t have any faults, child.” She continued while gently patting


    the back of Nancy’s hand. “If death had taken me in ce of your sister, I believe you would have


    been…


    “I don’t regret anything,” Nancy cut her off.


    The old woman gazed at her for a long time before asking, “Are you still mad at your family? They-”

    “Nanny Xie, they’re dead now…” Nancy cut her off again. She didn’t want to hear it.


    “Nancy, my girl,” the woman pulled her into a hug, “I’m sorry. The world treated you wrongly, you have


    sought your revenge now, you should rest and take care of yourself, child.” The woman pulled away


    and held her by the shoulders, looking deep into Nancy’s sad eyes.


    “Nanny Xie, do you think it’s time for me to rest?” Seeing the woman nod, Nancy got up and walked to


    the wall where a photo of the young her and little Brian was hung. She brushed her fingers over the


    frame and while saying.


    “His life is in danger, if I leave now, Hwang Min will kill him.”


    “That shouldn’t be your problem anymore, child. You’ve protected him for 26 years, yet he chose to


    love his father over you. Isn’t that enough reason to move on?…”


    “He’s my son!” Nancy cried out.


    The old woman watched her with sorrow in her eyes, “I heard his mother is back and you two got into a


    confrontation. Why? Didn’t you say you won’t get involved in her life anymore?”


    Nancy moved her gaze away and answered, “She came for Brian,” she turned her head again to face


    Nanny Xie this time. “Nanny Xie, what would you have done if you were in my shoes?… You and Brian


    are the only ones I have. I can’t live without him, Nanny Xie.” A teardrop slipped down her cheek.


    Nanny Xie felt an ache in her heart, “This child,” the woman said sorrowfully and closed the gap


    between them. She hugged Nancy, then started patting her on the back, wanting her to cry so she’d be


    relieved but Nancy is not the type to wail, she’s a very stubborn woman.


    “Next week is your sister’s memorial, it’s been Ten years since youst visited her.” She changed the


    topic. They’ll talk about it againter and see if she could persuade Nancy to let Brian go, get a


    divorce, and move out of the Country to start a new life.


    Nancy didn’t speak and just remained in Nanny Xie’s embrace.


    “Child, you look thin and exhausted, you should go inside and rest a little. I’ll have the servants prepare


    something for you.”


    “Hm,” Nancy let go and went into one of the rooms,


    After she left, the old woman turned sharply to look at the guards. With her walking stick and fibble


    hands, she beat Death and Nightcrawler until she got exhausted. The two didn’t move and rather made


    it easy for her.


    “I warned you two to not allow her to stress herself! Look at her now, she’s so thin. If her sickness


    returns, will you be able to suppress it?!” She hit her walking stick on the floor in a fit of rage.


    “Forget it, you can’t stop her if she’s decided anyway.”


    She sat herself down to catch her breath. Nightcrawler hurried to the kitchen to get the old woman a


    ss of water.


    A whileter after she had drank some water, she set the cup aside and inquired, “How does Hwang


    Min treat her? Is he still cold towards her?”


    Death nodded gently.


    “That bastard!” The old woman thundered. Regret suddenly filled her heart. If she had known, she


    wouldn’t have brought Nancy back to seek revenge for a family that didn’t recognize her.


    Thinking of it, Nanny Xie shut her eyes as memories invaded her mind.


    Years ago, she was just a maid in the Rong family. The old master and madam of the Rong family


    wanted Mrs. Rong to give birth to a son as soon as possible or she’d be sent packing. The pressure


    built up in the woman’s mind that she became desperate to get a male child, even though she had no


    child for the past ten years of her marriage.


    Mrs. Rong finally got pregnant after a second wife wife was brought in, still, Mrs. Rong wasn’t relieved


    because her husband’s new wife also got pregnant.


    Nobody knew what they would give birth to, but Old Madam Rong already announced that only one


    female child will be epted from one of the wives.


    On one of Mrs. Rong’s trips to the temple where she prays for a male child, she gave birth on the way


    and the children happened to be two girls. One of them had a hole in her heart and the other was


    healthy.


    Everyone thought the one with the hole in her heart would die because she was very fragile, so Mrs.


    Rong asked Nanny Xie, who was just a young maid, to take the child to the temple and leave her to her


    fate… Also, her identity as the Eldest Miss of the Rong family must be hidden.


    Nanny Xie did as told but her conscience didn’t allow her to abandon the crying child. She took care of


    the baby until she was two years old and left the temple.


    Nanny Xie worked day and night to send Nancy to school and also to care for her health. It continued


    like that until cmity befell the Rong family fifteen yearster.


    Mrs. Rong came searching for the daughter age abandoned. The woman wanted Nancy to sacrifice her


    life for her twin sister, but Nancy refused and threw her mother out of the house. That was where her


    hatred for her mother solidified.


    As fate would have it, Nancy’s twin sister came looking for Nancy and built a beautiful rtionship with


    her for two years. Through her twin sister, Nancy knew about Hwang Min and the other members of the


    family.


    Then one day, Nancy came home with blood all over her. When Nanny Xie asked her what the matter


    was, she got to know that Nancy’s twin sister was involved in a well nned ident.


    Knowing that she wouldn’t survive the ident, Nancy’s twin sister told the doctors to give her heart to


    Nancy without Mrs. Rong’s consent.


    Shortly after the operation was done, Nancy’s twin died and Mrs. Rong med Nancy for it. Mrs. Rong


    then made a deal, either Nancye and take her twin sister’s ce, or return the heart.


    Left with no other choice, Nanny Xie forced Nancy to return with her mother.


    From that day henceforth, Nancy was thrown in a den of tigers. Enemies from the Rong family, and


    Hwang Min, the viin in Nancy’s life.


    Although, Nancy was fortunate enough to build her own faction when she was still living with her, it


    didn’t mean that the young woman got all that she wanted.


    Nanny Xie sighed, Nancy’s life had never been easy. If only she chose peace… But then again, would


    Hwang Min, Luisa, and the entire Rong family had let her live in peace? (1)
