The Year She Stopped Being Crazy for Him novel Chapter 421

Natalie struggled for days before finally bringing herself to delete their chat history.

Just seeing a new message from Hassan was enough to make her heart palpitate.

From now on, any message history would be deleted.

The bedroom was dim, lit only by the warm, faint glow of a floor lamp.

Nancy looked at her face illuminated by the phone screen, reaching out to gently tuck a stray strand of hair behind her ear. "If you want to call him, just call. Ask about the situation. You don't have to hold it all in—you're not superhuman. What you need right now is to do everything you can to get a good night's sleep. If calling him eases your anxiety, then just use him."

Natalie shook her head. "No..."

Before she could finish, Nancy had already pressed her phone and dialed the number.

Natalie stiffened, falling silent.

The phone rang a few times before automatically disconnecting.

He didn't pick up.

Nancy pressed her lips together.

What was going on? Seeing how Hassan looked at the hospital, she was sure he would answer. She had miscalculated.

Natalie shrank under the covers, her voice tiny. "Let's go to sleep."

Thank goodness he didn't answer.

Thank goodness he didn't give her the chance.

What would happen if he did pick up, anyway?

She closed her eyes, trying to even out her breathing so Nancy wouldn't worry.

After a while, Nancy called her name a couple of times, but she didn't respond.

Thinking she had finally fallen asleep, Nancy drifted off peacefully.

In the middle of the night, Natalie ached all over.

For someone who couldn't sleep, lying in bed was pure torture, exhausting every bone in her body.
