Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1737

Bearing his shoulder pain, Jory continued watching the competition with Nancy. The following matches were full of surprises and excitement. It was even more intense than Jory’s match.

Even Jory himself had to admit that every contestant was very skilled. Before long, it was almost Nancy’s turn. That was the first time she was so nervous in a competition.

Her palms were sweating. Jory noticed Nancy became quieter as it was nearing her turn. Thinking that she must be nervous, he wrapped an arm around her in a bid to calm her down.

“Don’t be afraid. I’m here for you!” His domineering proclamation was a contrast from his child-like appearance. Nancy broke free from his arm and got back to bickering with Jory as usual. “Me? Afraid? Hah! I’m just worried my competition would drag on, causing the crowd to miss their lunch and tea time.”

Jory raised his hands in surrender. “Fine, fine, fine. Whatever you say. I wish you break a new record.”

Nancy patted his head earnestly. “Hmm. That’s right. You’re pretty smart.”

Nancy’s opponent was a fierce-looking woman. One look at her, and Nancy knew that the woman was not one to be messed with.

That woman seemed to be taking the competition more seriously as compared to Nancy. She didn’t let out a single smile from the moment she entered the sparring arena until they bowed to each other. Nancy was there because Taekwondo was her interest—unlike the others, who were eager to get the provincial certificate of qualification for them to advance to a higher level of competition.

Seconds before the match was about to begin, millions of thoughts were still running through Nancy’s head. Why the hell am I having all these thoughts when the competition is about to begin! Perhaps, it’s my way of relieving my anxiety.
