Chapter 52 Nancy Was Held Hostage
When Nancy saw the scene in the ward, she clenched her fists in
She was furious.
anger.
Felix was lying on the hospital bed with his legs crossed, drinking wine and watching TV. He was very relaxed, didn’t look sick at all.
Seeing Nancy come in, he immediately put down the wine bottle and said with a smile, “Good daughter, I’ve been waiting for you. You’re finally here.”
“Felix…” Nancy yelled uncontrollably, “Do you still have any feelings left? Aren’t you sick? I think you are very healthy.”
Felix immediately reached out and covered his chest. “Oh, it hurts so much. My heart hurts so much. Hurry, call me a doctor.”
“Stop acting.”
“Since you’re fine, I’m leaving”
After saying that, Nancy didn’t want to stay for a moment and walked straight out.
However, several burly men at the door suddenly stretched out their hands to stop her.
“Felix, what do you mean?” Nancy turned her head and looked at him angrily.
Felix spread his hands and explained with a flattering smile. “Nancy, I don’t want to do this either, but I can’t help it. I’m in debt, so can you help me pay it back?”
Now, he knew what family’s affection was.
What about when he borrowed money from everywhere, gambled everywhere, and drank every day until drunk? Why didn’t he think about how she and her mother would live?
“Nancy, despite all my mistakes, I’m still your dad. Now that your dad is in trouble, you wouldn’t leave him alone, would you?”
“Hmph…” Nancy looked at him with a cold smile. “Now you know you are my father?”
“Ask yourself. Since I was born, have you fulfilled the responsibility of being a father for a day?”
“Where were you when I was sick and had a fever?”
“Where were you when Mom fell ill from exhaustion and fainted at home?”

“Where were you when debt collectors chased us and hid everywhere like street rats? Why didn’t you think then that you were my father and should be responsible for your wife and daughter?”
The more Nancy talked, the more emotional she became.
In the end, she could barely contain her emotions.
As long as she thinks about those difficult days when she and her mom fled around to avoid debt collectors, she couldn’t help but hate him.
That time was like a nightmare. Just thinking about it made her feel cold and shivering.
Until now, she has always hated and feared that kind of life.
“Nancy. I am your father. Do you really want to…
Before Felix could finish his words, Nancy interrupted. Just give up.”
“I told you. It’s absolutely impossible.”
Nancy rejected it thoroughly, leaving no room for discussion.
Then she looked at the people guarding the door. “Let them get out of the way. I want to go back.”
Felix lowered his eyes. His eyes were like ashes, and he said slowly, “Nancy, I can’t order them because they are not mine.”
“Then, who are they?”
Nancy always thought that Felix found these people to trick her into coming and asking her for
money.
“They are debt collectors.”
“You…” Nancy’s hands shook in anger.
The next moment, a man in a black coat, black leather boots, and a cigarette came in.
He stopped before Nancy, exhaled smoke, and said in a rough voice, “Are you Felix’s daughter, Nancy?”
“I’m not.”
Nancy denied it without thinking.
“Tsk tsk tsk…”The man leaned forward and observed carefully. He said enviously, “It’s really unexpected that such an old and ugly man like Felix could give birth to such a beautiful
daughter.

On the hospital bed, Felix clenched his fists when he heard this.
“I’ll say it once again. I have nothing to do with him. Let me go.”
“Hey, the little girl has a very stubborn temper.”
The man smiled and got out of the way. Nancy stepped forward, but two men at the door still blocked her.
“It’s useless for you to stop me. I’m penniless.”
“I don’t care. Paying off debt is perfectly justified. Felix owes me money. Since he can’t pay it back, then you, as a good daughter, will pay it back. As long as you pay the money, I will let you go immediately.”
“I don’t have money.”
Nancy straightened up and looked stern.
Kelvin smoked his last cigarette, threw it directly to the ground, and stamped it out with his leather boots.
“Girl, I advise you to pay back the money obediently. Otherwise… “The man’s eyes became fierce. “It will not be that simple.”
Nancy’s scared.
But she still clenched her fists, met his gaze, and said coldly. “Even if I had money, I wouldn’t pay it back for him. Did you hear me clearly?”
“Oh, okay.”
Kelvin sneered and waved. “Take her away.”
Soon, the men standing at the door grabbed Nancy’s arm and held her away.
“What are you doing? Let me go!” Nancy stretched out her hands to resist violently.
But her hands were grabbed in an instant.
Kelvin’s hand was powerful and full of strength. Within a moment, her wrist was red and painful.
“What are you doing? Let go of my daughter.”
Felix suddenly rushed up from the bed and threw himself at them, looking affectionately protective of his daughter.
