After I Fully Prepared for the Apocalypse, the Ungrateful Cried with Regret novel Chapter 127

Chapter 127: Chapter 127: Their Promise

Nina Jacobs never expected to run into Melanie Lawson here.

The little girl who lived next door to Chelsea Walsh and was also Ivan Lawson’s niece.

She had saved the girl’s life with a Healing Potion before.

And Melanie Lawson actually recognized her.

"I was looking for someone and accidentally came to the wrong place. What are you doing here? Where are your parents?"

Nina Jacobs glanced around.

The room wasn’t large, and there didn’t seem to be anyone else.

"My parents... They... they’re both dead..."

As if she couldn’t hold it in any longer, Melanie Lawson suddenly threw her arms around Nina Jacobs and burst into tears.

’Dead?’

’Was it because of the zombies?’

Nina Jacobs hadn’t expected this. She gently hugged Melanie, who only cried harder.

"My mom and dad... were killed by my uncle. SOB... I don’t have parents anymore."

Melanie only dared to cry silently. Nina Jacobs froze.

’Her uncle?’

’Could it be Ivan Lawson?’

"Can you tell me what happened?"

Nina asked only after Melanie had cried for a while longer.

"My dad was taking us to find a shelter. On the way, we ran into Uncle Ivan. My mom asked him why he’d treated me like that before, and... and he pushed her under a car."

"My dad jumped down to save her..."

Melanie sobbed as she spoke, her words broken and halting.

But Nina Jacobs understood everything.

In her past life, Ivan Lawson had claimed his brother and sister-in-law pushed him out of the car.

But in this life, the reborn Ivan Lawson had personally pushed them.

Leaving only Melanie Lawson behind.

"They said... they said I have a Superpower, so they wouldn’t let Uncle Ivan kill me. I was brought here to heal people every day."

"I’ve healed so many people, but I couldn’t save my mom and dad... SOB SOB..."

Melanie’s eyes were filled with sorrow and hatred.

It was the first time Nina had ever seen such hatred on the face of a child so young.

"Don’t cry. I’m still here."

Any words of comfort felt pale and powerless.

"You just saved me, didn’t you? You’ve already done so well."

Nina Jacobs explained her own situation.

If it weren’t for Melanie, she likely wouldn’t have been able to escape today.

"I saved you?"

Melanie finally stopped crying.

"Yes. You wait here. How about I find a way to get you out?"

Nina asked.

But Melanie Lawson shook her head. "I’m not leaving."

"You want to stay here?" Nina asked in surprise.

"I’m going to avenge my parents. I’m going to kill that man with my own hands."

Her small body was filled with stubbornness, and her words were resolute.

Nina Jacobs tried to persuade her, but Melanie was exceptionally insistent.

She also learned that Ivan Lawson wasn’t at the Quinn Group right now. He had been sent to City A.

She could only wipe away the girl’s tears and say:

"Alright. Then kill him."

"But I need to make a promise with you."

"A promise?"

Melanie looked at Nina, confused.

As much as she wanted to stay by Nina’s side, she couldn’t.

"Yes. When you finally get your revenge, you have to come find me. I’ll be waiting for you."

Nina said.

She understood the desire for revenge all too well.

But she also worried that Melanie would lose the will to live.

After all, this wasn’t the kind of pressure an ordinary child could bear.

"Okay. I’ll come find you."

Melanie Lawson held out her pinky, and she and Nina Jacobs made a promise.

"Can you stay with me for a little while?"

Worried that Nina was about to leave, Melanie couldn’t help but make the request.

"Of course. You protected me, after all. Right, I also have a gift for you."

Nina Jacobs’s Invisibility Potion wouldn’t be usable again for another three hours.
