    Chapter 164 Jealous


    Nancy turned around, forcing a smile as she asked, “Is there anything else you need, ma’am?”


    “I noticed that you looked familiar. What’s your name?” the woman asked in an elegant tone.


    “Mom?” Julian spoke up, sounding a bit impatient.


    The woman shot him a sharp look, and he immediately fell silent, refraining from saying anything


    else.


    “My name is Nancy Cohen, ma’am.”


    What a coincidence. The woman’s eyes instantly lit up with excitement. However, she still made an


    effort to contain herself, patiently asking, “Could you please tell me how to spell your name?”


    “Nancy, N-A-N-C-Y. Cohen, C-O-H-E-N.”


    It matches perfectly. It seems like she is indeed that child. Well, this is quite fortunate, and it didn’t take


    much effort at all. The woman was somewhat excited but managed to suppress it.


    Once Nancy left, the woman immediately turned to Julian. “This youngdy looks good. She’s also


    from your hospital, so you should put in some effort.”


    “Mom, do you hear yourself? We don’t even know each other.”


    The woman gave him a disdainful look. “Don’t you know each other now? She just mentioned that her


    name is Nancy, and she is a new employee at your hospital. You’re the director. Pursuing an employee


    should be easy for you. It will be effortless.”


    Julian was growing annoyed. “This discussion ends here. You’re going crazy thinking about having a


    daughter-inw.”


    Still, the woman stubbornly argued, “No, I’ve decided I want Nancy to be my daughter-inw. I won’t


    ept anyone else.”


    Julian was left speechless. After a heated argument, he ended up leaving first, leaving the woman


    sitting


    alone.


    She looked towards Nancy’s direction and took out her phone to snap a photo, then sent it to someone.


    After that, she made a call. “I’ve found the girl. Compare the picture and see if it’s her. Also, find out


    who the man next to her is. Investigate both of them for me. Remember, be quick. This is very


    important; we can’t afford any dys.”


    “Yes, Madam.”


    Outside the hospital, Nichs hadn’t left. He had been waiting since Nancy and Christian had entered.


    the building. As minutes passed, Nichs couldn’t help but nce at his watch, growing increasingly


    restless. He wondered, What are they doing? They’ve been there for so long and still haven’te out.


    After waiting for about half an hour, he couldn’t take it anymore. He had run out of patience and strode


    inside, but just as he reached the hospital entrance, he saw Nancy and Christian walking towards


    him. They seemed to be chatting andughing about something. Nichs’ difort grew as he


    watched them.


    Seeing that they were about to reach the entrance, he quickly went out again. Once they reached the


    entrance, Nichs retrieved his phone to call Nancy. “Hey, it’s me.”

    “I know. Do you need something?” Her voice was very calm.


    He was not one to back down, so he immediately said in a haughty tone, “Not really. I just happened to


    be at the hospital and thought you might be finishing work soon. I wanted to ask if you wanted a ride


    back.”


    “Thank you for your kind offer, Mr. Sallow, but it seems we’re not going the same way. Besides, we’re


    not heading to the same home.”


    “I can- Nichs’ words were cut off as Nancy hung up. As he heard the beep on the other end of the


    line, frustration welled up inside him, and his fists clenched tightly. But what was even more agonizing


    was the sight of Nancy getting into Christian’s Jeep just momentster.


    Instantly, Nichs’ eyes turned crimson, and he clenched his fists even tighter. Very well. She says


    she’s not on the same route as me, but is she on the same route as Christian? As far as he knew,


    Christian’s current. location was even farther from Nancy’s and even less convenient for him to send


    her back.


    In the car, she quietly gazed out the window. Her expression was calm, showing no signs of emotional


    fluctuation. However, she had be silent since receiving Nichs’ call, which showed she was


    clearly affected by it.


    “Did you have a fight with him?” Christian spoke up while waiting at the red light.


    “Huh?” Nancy was momentarily taken aback. Then, she realized that, aside from the people around


    her, others probably didn’t know that she had divorced Nichs. Thinking about it, she thought there


    was no need to exin anything.


    “Don’t worry too much. There are bound to be disagreements between spouses. Once the conflicts are


    resolved, things will naturally improve, Christianforted her.


    Nancy looked over. When she saw his perfectly chiseled features, she couldn’t help but sigh. Deep


    inside, she thought of something and said it aloud, “If you were to get married, you would surely


    wholeheartedly devote yourself to your wife. I can imagine that your wife would be very happy.”


    Christian smiled but didn’t say anything.


    While passing the traffic light, Nancy pointed and said, “Turn left.”


    He asked, surprised, “Did you move?”


    Embarrassed to say she had moved out alone while Nichs stayed at their original home, she only


    managed to let out a soft hum.


    When they arrived downstairs, Nancy got out of the car. However, a Jeep had a higher chassis, which


    caused her to twist her foot, when she got down identally. “Ahh—” she yelped.


    Christian immediately rushed over from the driver’s seat and supported her. He asked with concern,


    “Are you okay?”


    “I think I twisted my foot. It hurts a bit, she said, her delicate brows slightly furrowed.


    “Don’t move. Let me carry you back.”


    Hearing the word “carry,” Nancy was a little frightened and immediately shook her head, declining, “No,


    it’s fine. I can manage. I just need to walk slower.”


    He also realized that his words weren’t quite appropriate and quickly changed the topic. “Ill call your


    husband toe pick you up, or I can help you go upstairs.”


    After considering it, Nancypromised, “Alright, help me get upstairs.”


    “Okay.”


    Nichs had just gotten out of the car and saw Christian supporting Nancy as they slowly made their


    way inside. Despite their mutual support, it appeared as if Christian was shouldering most of her


    weight, practically carrying her along.


    This is ridiculous! Nichs had been following her since he got off work, which was getting increasingly


    frustrating. He got out and leaned against the car after seeing they had gone upstairs. He smoked


    aimlessly, one cigarette after another, purely just to pass the time.


    After an unknown period of time sibly another half an hour, he caught sight of a familiar figure-


    Christian was departing.


    Once Christian’s car had disappeared, Nichs discarded his cigarette butt and dialed Nancy’s


    number, but his tone was very direct, “Are you at home?”


    “Yes. Her response was as concise as possible.


    “Thene downstairs. I have something to tell you,” he stated.


    “I decline.”


    “Why? Why can you see Christian but not me? I saw you with him, and you appeared quite content.”


    Nichs felt envious as he spoke.


    “Can you be more reasonable? I sprained my ankle and am unable to move. How do you expect me to


    descend the stairs to see you?”
