President's Contract Wife novel Chapter 66

For the first time in her life, Nina Morrison follows others like a sordid thief.

Abby Lewis walks ahead with Snowball in her arms. Nina Morrison pretends to wander around. She dodges about thirty meters behind her to see which ward Abby Lewis actually enters.

She has no malice. She just wants to take a look at Troy Roger.

She wants to know whether he is well or not and whether he is seriously ill. She doesn’t want to disturb his life. She just wants to peek at him.

When Abby Lewis goes to the milky yellow building with the most elegant environment, Nina Morrison realizes that Troy has lived in the same ward building with her.

“You live at the head of the Yangtze River and I live at the end of the Yangtze River. Every day I think of you but I don’t see you. We drink the water of the Yangtze River.” Nina Morrison suddenly remembers the national dance accompanied by the song she danced at the school art show.

At that time, she was a budding 16-year-old girl and Troy Roger was a handsome 18-year-old boy. She danced lightly on the stage and he watched her under the crowded stage. His eyes penetrated her heart through voices and music.

Her face suddenly turned red with heavy stage makeup. No foundation could hide her blush.

The 18-year-old’s eyes were filled with amazement and praise. The grand party evolved into a gift she presented to him alone. Secret gifts make people happy because they are secret.

Abby Lewis walks into the ward at the end of the corridor. That ward is the same pattern as Nina Morrison’s. Next to it is a large terrace with huge potted green plants on it.

Nina Morrison goes to the terrace and lets the vibrant green plants cover her body and looks into the ward.

Troy Roger looks pale. His face is a little transparent. He sits at his desk and seems to be reading something on his laptop. Abby Lewis hugs his waist from behind and rubs his face intimately.

Her heart suddenly aches. Although she knows Troy is engaged and she can not relate to him, Nina Morrison can not bear to see him intimate with other girls.

He looks good. He’s not seriously ill.

Get out of here. This is not the place you should stay. Get out of here! Leave! Nina Morrison convinces herself to move her legs and get out of here.

But her legs seem to have their own will. They are still standing in place and doesn’t move a centimeter.

Nina Morrison cries. She sees Abby Lewis in Troy Roger’ arms. She clasps her hands around his neck and says something gently and sweetly. She sees Troy Roger smiling gently. He reaches out and pats Abby Lewis on the back.

Her heart is as painful as it is cut by a sharp blade.

Tears finally fall uncontrollably from her eyes and run down her pale cheeks. She holds her hands tightly. Her fingernails are deeply embedded in her palms but the sting is nothing like the pain in her heart.

Nina Morrison tries to wipe her tears but finds it useless. Her tears fall like beads with broken threads. Her tender skin is tingled with tears.

She stops crying and turns away slowly from the terrace. She seems to grow old in a flash and her movements become slow and cumbersome.

Nina Morrison, what are you crying for? You are clearly not even qualified for heartache!

A nurse comes to the ward with a tray full of medicines and looks at Nina Morrison strangely. Is this lady here to visit President Williams? Why is she on the terrace?

Nina Morrison points to Troy Roger’ ward and asks the nurse. “What’s wrong with Troy Roger who lives in ward 201?”

The nurse is confused but answers truthfully. “Stomach bleeding. He has been in hospital for some time. He will be discharged tomorrow.” When the nurse finishes, she goes to the ward and sighs, “These bosses don’t care much about their bodies. You can’t avoid drinking but don’t overdo it!”

Nina Morrison suddenly feels a little sad. She thinks it is a common cold, a fever or something. She doesn’t think it is stomach bleeding. No wonder his face is so pale.
