Chapter 141


    Chapter 141 Why Are You Crying?


    As they exited the Town Hall, a motorcycle suddenly zoomed past from the left.


    “Nancy, watch out!” Nichs eximed, his heart skipping a beat.


    Without hesitation, he sprinted towards her and pulled Nancy into his arms, one hand around her waist


    and the other protecting her head.


    “Ah!” Startled, Nancy let out a loud scream.


    Suddenly, there was a loud crash, and the motorcycle in front of them tumbled to the ground. The rider


    rolled over andnded heavily, groaning in pain.


    The surroundings fell eerily silent.


    Nancy sought refuge in Nichs’ embrace, her ears filled with the sound of his pounding heart.


    “Are you hurt?” Nichs asked softly, finally catching his breath and looking at her.


    “I’m fine. I’m not hurt. What about you?” Nancy asked.


    Nichs released her and rushed to the injured man on the ground.


    Approaching him, Nichs lifted him and growled, “Why were you riding so fast? Do you want to die?


    Do you realize you almost hit my wife?” Nichs shouted, his fists clenched, as if he was about to


    strike.


    Taken aback, Nancy quickly ran over to stop him. “Nichs, calm down!”


    “He was speeding. He doesn’t care about his life. I have to teach him a lesson today. I’ll make sure he


    learns!”


    The thought of Nancy almost being hit by the motorcycle filled Nichs with rage, making it difficult for


    him to calm down.


    What if I hadn’t been there to save her?


    He couldn’t bear to imagine the consequences.


    Nancy didn’t want him to make a mistake, especially not for her. She reached out and gently grabbed


    Nichs’ arm, coaxing him, “Let the police handle it. There’s no need for you to get involved


    personally.”


    If Nichs were to act first and the incident became public, he would lose the moral high ground, even


    if he was in the right.


    As the head of argepany, every move he made was scrutinized. It wouldn’t be worth it to let a


    minor incident like this affect him.


    “Yeah, bro, I was wrong. Please don’t be angry. Please spare me! Look, I’m injured too. Don’t worry. I’ll


    definitely obey traffic regtions in the future and never speed again!” the man pleaded.


    Nichs’ anger subsided slightly, and he unclenched his fists.


    Nancy had known Nichs for a long time, and he had always been refined and elegant. Even when


    he was angry, he expressed it in a civilized manner, often using his gaze and demeanor to make the


    other person yield.


    Seeing him ready to resort to violence was something Nancy had never witnessed before.


    Was his impulsive reaction, even to the point of wanting to use violence, all because of her? Was it


    really because of her?


    This realization left a slight bitterness in her heart.


    Nancy noticed that Nichs had injured his arm. His skin was scraped and bleeding, although not


    heavily.


    “You’re hurt. Let’s go to the car. I’ll take care of it,” Nancy urged anxiously.


    He was injured while trying to protect her, so she naturally felt concerned.


    Even if he wasn’t injured because of her, just seeing him hurt made her anxious and sympathetic.


    “No rush. Let’s wait for the police to take him away.”


    They left only after the police had taken the young man away.


    In the parking lot, Nancy quickly found the first-aid kit.


    Nichs sat in the back seat, which was rtively spacious, and Nancy joined him with the items in her


    hand.


    “Does it hurt?” she asked.


    In truth, this minor injury meant little to Nichs. But when he saw her lowering her head, looking so


    serious and anxious, he changed his mind. “A bit.”


    At the same time, he furrowed his eyebrows.


    “Hold on for a moment. I’ll be gentle.”


    Nancy consoled him softly as she treated the wound on his arm.


    Nichs appreciated this kind offort. He sat quietly, allowing Nancy to clean his wound and apply


    the medication.


    During the application, a sudden burning sensation passed through his arm, causing Nichs to furrow


    his brows and take a sharp breath.


    “Your skin was scraped, so the medicine stings a bit when first applied. However, it’s very effective.


    Just bear with it, hmm?” Nancy gently consoled, blowing lightly on the newly applied ointment on


    Nichs’


    arm.


    She focused and carefully dressed the wound.


    [


    Nichs also lowered his head. From his line of sight, he couldn’t see her entire face, only her graceful


    curves. Her fair and smooth skin was so close.


    He could even see the fine little hairs on her face.


    She was truly fair, with skin as clear as snow and a face smooth and unblemished like a fragile


    eggshell.


    He couldn’t imagine what kind of injuries she would have suffered if she had really fallen to the ground


    carlier.


    After blowing for a few minutes, Nancy looked up at Nichs. “It’s been a while. It should be better


    now. How do you feel?”


    Nichs raised his head. “Yes, it’s better.”


    As he raised his head, his deep eyes met Nancy’s bright and sparkling eyes.


    Her beautiful features were gentle like water.


    But this beautiful woman was no longer his.


    Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.


    The thought made Nichs’ heart ache.


    After tending to his wound, Nancy put the first aid kit away and then looked at Nichs, sincerely.


    thanking him. “Thank you for earlier. If it weren’t for you pulling me to safety, I might have been


    knocked down by that guy.”


    “You don’t need to thank me,” Nichs replied, his voice cool.


    For some reason, hearing her being so polite and earnest in her gratitude upset him.


    He acted out of instinct.


    He simply didn’t want her to get hurt. Hearing her thanks was not his goal at all.


    “It’s nothing. Just be more careful when walking in the future, and look in all directions.” He added,


    “Especially when I’m not with you.”


    “Alright.” Nancy nodded.


    Her heart felt twisted and heavy.


    After all, Nichs was correct. Today, he was present to assist her.


    However, once theypleted this journey, he would no longer apany her in the future.


    Consequently, she would confront all the challenges and hardships in her life alone. Merely


    contemting a life without him unexpectedly left her feeling hollow,


    It was a dreadful sensation.


    Her eyes suddenly welled up, and her tears were on the verge of cascading down.


    Nancy lifted her head and blinked, attempting to restrain the tears. Nevertheless, the tears flowed


    uncontrobly.


    She endeavored to wipe away her tears, but it was toote. In a state of panic, she swiftly turned


    around to remove her tears.


    Yet, as she raised her hand, her shoulder instantly felt burdened.


    In the following moment, Nichs gently rotated her entire body.


    His hand tenderly grazed her cheek as he wiped away the tears that had escaped from her eyes. “Why


    are you crying?” he inquired. “Were you frightened just now, or is there an injury you haven’t disclosed


    to me?”
