A sigh escaped Nancy's breath as she leaned closer and kissed Charles on the cheek. "Charles, I'm sorry."
With his hand reached out, Charles held Nancy's slender hand and pleaded, "Nancy, please don't go."
"Charles, don't worry. I won't leave you!" Nancy hurriedly replied.
Charles' lips trembled as his eyes closed.
Exhaustion took the better of him as his consciousness faded away.
Nancy thought that Frederic would mind her visiting her children and Charles as long as she didn't marry Charles.
All she did was visit the children. She never said that she would marry Charles.
Unfortunately, the situation was more complicated than she thought.
Someone uploaded on the Internet a video of her helping Charles get into the car.
Charles and Nancy were usually on the trending searches, and the others didn't take it serious. However, Frederic was different.
Although he knew Nancy did nothing wrong, Frederic still abhorred her.
Deep inside, Frederic had no idea why he was angry. When he thought of Derrick, Frederic became depressed.
Initially, Frederic planned to punish Nancy by forcing her to leave Charles. Unfortunately, when he woke up that morning, Frederic saw the news about Nancy and Charles.
Hardy and Angelina also saw the video.
The video showed how Nancy supported Charles while walking. Their children closely followed them. The scene made them look like a happy family.
After he watched the recording, Frederic's face turned red due to anger. He hated seeing the reconciliation of Nancy and Charles. When Angelina noticed Frederic's reaction, she said, "Dad, you should know by now that Nancy and Charles are a compatible match. Isn't it wonderful to see them together with their children? They look so..."
However, before Angelina finished her words, Frederic interjected, "Stop it! You're just afraid that if Nancy leaves Charles, he will never meet another suitable woman. For all I know, you're working together with them with upsetting me!"
When he noticed that Frederic was angry again, Hardy winked at Angelina. It meant that she should shut her mouth.
As such, Angelina had no choice but to leave the ward.
Then, she dialed Charles' number. Unfortunately, he didn't answer the call.
The whole night, Charles slept soundly. Meanwhile, Nancy woke up rather early.
Nancy barely slept last night because Charles was so drunk. She gave him water several times in fear that he might suffer from dehydration.
As such, she had little sleep and sat silently at the edge of the bed the whole night.
After some minutes of sleep, she suddenly woke up. Frederic's words rang in her mind. As such, Nancy went to the kitchen.
Meanwhile, the children also barely slept last night. When they woke up in the morning, they hurried towards their parents' bedroom.
Bobby and Nadia wanted to see if Nancy was still there. Unfortunately, the mother was nowhere to be found.
Tears welled up in Nadia's eyes. "Bobby, where is Mommy?"
"Daddy, wake up! Where is Mommy?" Bobby also grew anxious. He rushed towards the bed and shook Charles to wake him up.
When Charles opened his eyes, they were bloodshot.
"Why are you kids here? What's wrong?"
"Daddy, Mommy's not here! Where is she?" Nadia asked in an anxious tone.
While in a daze, Charles rubbed his forehead. He drank too much last night that his memories were still hazy.
