At this moment, Nancy only felt as if a large slit had been opened up in her heart, and it hurt so much that her heart twisted in pain.
In the midst of Barney's indifference, and Miriam's warning, she could only leave reluctantly.
Miriam said to Nellie, "Keep Barney company."
"Okay."
Miriam nodded and walked away.
Barney and Nellie were the only two people left in the ward, and Nellie looked at Barney with query in her gaze.
Barney's scalp tingled at her gaze, "What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"
Nellie, "The way Nancy is looking at you is not like the way a sister looks at her brother."
Especially in terms of attitude, this is definitely beyond the kind of concern that a sister has for her brother, Nellie would never believe there is no problem in this.
Barney froze.
And then his gaze dimmed.
Nellie felt this subtle change in him and naturally knew the situation, "Say it, what is going on?"
She wanted to know exactly what was going on.
Nancy has been not only giving her a strong sense of hostility, more, in fact, there is the danger.
Nancy was trying to get rid of her at all times, as if she would steal Barney, and that made her unhappy.
Barney said to her in a doting tone, "A woman's intuition really can't be ignored."
Nellie raised her eyebrows, "Am I wrong?"
Is it possible that what she feels is really not wrong?
At this moment, although Barney did not explicitly say so, Nellie clearly felt that things were not as simple as she thought.
"She likes you? How can that be?" They were brother and sister.
Nellie felt that in terms of relationship, Andre was already the most heart-wrenching she had ever seen, but she didn't expect such a perverted emotion to exist.
Barney, "Nancy was not born to my mother, she is my aunt's adopted daughter."
So she should be a cousin, not actually related at all.
"Then why is she at your house?"
"My aunt died in a car accident with her husband when she was ten years old, she was my aunt's nominal daughter, so my mother took her to my home."
So that was the case.
Externally, she is Barney's sister, yet internally, Nancy has long developed feelings for Barney.
It was not a good thing for her.
Barney grabbed her hand, "Don't worry, I will take care of Nancy."
"What are you going to do about it? Throw her out of the house?" Nellie grunted.
Now that it happened, it would not really that easy to resolve.
Barney knew what she was thinking, and since he had already come off the operating table alive because of her, then he would not allow her to back out.
Taking a deep breath, he sighed, "When I get better, I'll go live with you in Shirling."
"What?"
Is this really possible?
And the Brooks family...
Barney knew what she was thinking, "Why? Are you touched?"
She was indeed touched.
But at the same time, she felt that she had a lot of trouble on her own, like that bastard Andre, they couldn't live in peace even after going to Shirling, right?
The thought of the trouble on each of them started to make Nellie think of backing out.
Before Barney, she and Andre had feud, and by letting go of Andre, she realised that it was actually better for people to live a simple life.
