Chapter 1135
John’s return to Levine Manor left the servants gaping at him.
Some were actually spooked, since they were told that he was dead!
As such, Nancy hurried out of her room upstairs and was left staring blankly for a long while when she saw John, thinking for a second that she had seen a ghost.
She eventually yelped loudly, and Cora hurried out of her room as well before getting flabbergasted to see John in the living room.
“Y-You’re not dead, John?” she asked gingerly.
“Nope,” John said nonchalantly. “I survived by chance.”
Nancy hurried out down the stairs, still in shock but mustering her courage to throw her arms around John.” Johnny, you’re alive… You’re really alive…”
John’s heart raced a little.
Having grown up at Levine Manor, he knew Nancy’s character best—others aside, she was genuinely kind to him.
He returned her hug. “I’m home now, Aunt Nancy.”
“Don’t you know how hard it’s been over the years…” Nancy sobbed hysterically in her arms. “You could’ve come back sooner… Even Dad’s gone now, Johnny…”
It took a long while for Nancy to calm down a little as they caught up. “You’re not leaving after this, are you, Johnny?”
“No.”
“That’s good. You shouldn’t leave… You’d give me a heart attack like Jay Parker!” Nancy huffed, absolutely seething at the mention of the name.
