"How is that possible?"Nancy still didn't want to accept the reality, but the truth was the truth."Well, I'll ask the steward to pick up Vicky. Although Ryan doesn't want this matter to be known by too many people, you are Vicky's mother. I think it's necessary to tell you the truth."Looking at Vicky, and then at Nancy, whose eyes were wet, Zoe felt sorry for her.It seemed that if she wanted to know what had happened, she had to learn it from Zoe. Nancy nodded her head and reluctantly watched Vicky being taken away by the steward who had just got out of the car.The two of them found a quiet and elegant coffee shop, which was suitable for them to talk about their minds.At the beginning, Zoe just looked at the people coming and going outside, as if she didn't know where to start."Nancy, I'm living in Ryan's house now."After a long time, she took a sip of coffee, looked at Nancy and said calmly.Hearing this, she nodded. In fact, when she saw her go to pick up Vicky, she had guessed something in her heart."But it's not what you think. There's nothing between Ryan and me. It's all because of the child. You can see that Vicky is very clingy to me now."She put down the coffee cup in her hand. Since the conversation had been started, she didn't want to beat about the bush.Obviously, Nancy didn't seem to understand what she was talking about. Judging from her tone, she seemed to have changed a lot."What has Vicky experienced in the past few months?"She only wanted to know this, which was what she was most concerned about. After all, in her eyes, the child was her whole world."Less than a month after you left, Vicky's behavior began to become a little strange. Later, the doctor examined her and found that she had autism, but fortunately, it was not innate, so she could get better if the root of the disease was found. The root of her disease was her longing for her mother, so..."She didn't finish her words, but Nancy could understand what she had omitted.Hearing this, she only felt a strong sense of sorrow in her heart. She had never had such a feeling before. She felt so sorry for Vicky. It was she who had done something wrong, and it made Vicky suffer like this."How is Vicky now?"She didn't want to give up any chance. She immediately asked her, hoping to get the answer she wanted."It's much more stable now, but she almost takes me as... Now that you're back, I think you can try to be close to her and solve her heart knot. "There was obvious sincerity on her face."Maybe you will think that what I'm hypocritical to say this now, but I am fine now. I've figured out a lot of things. I'm really doing this for your good, Nancy."After saying that, she didn't say anything else. The two of them kept silent again.Nancy recalled what Zoe had just said and felt helpless.Maybe what she said was right. After all, Vicky was still young, so she shouldn't impose such things on a child.If the adults had handled these things well, how could Vicky become a victim?Thinking of this, she felt even guiltier."Well, I don't want to talk to you anymore. Otherwise, Vicky will be worried that I'll be missing and leave her if she can't see me for a long time."After saying that, she stood up and left in a hurry with her bag.However, Nancy couldn't calm down for a long time.In the past few months, she had been busy with all kinds of competitions abroad and planning GIO, but she had completely ignored Vicky. As a result, such a serious matter had happened and she had no idea at all."Vicky, I'm sorry. I'm not a good mother."As she spoke, the tears in her eyes slid down her cheeks and fell into the coffee cup in front of her.The night had completely shrouded the whole city, and the neon lights on the streets were also lit up. The city suddenly changed a style.Many people gradually began their night life.However, Nancy still sat motionless in the coffee shop, and nobody knew where he was looking at."That person is so strange. The person who came with her this afternoon has already left. She is still sitting there alone.""Yes. What should we do? Is there anything wrong with her? "The employees in the cafe had begun to whisper about Nancy, and they were still discussing what to do.Of course, she had no idea of this."Nancy, why are you here? I'm so worried about you! If I hadn't installed a positioning system in your phone, I would be burning with anxiety tonight."At about nine o'clock in the evening, Shawn found her. He looked a little uneasy.That was normal for him to worry about her. She left after the board meeting in the morning. He thought she had something to do, so he didn't ask too much.But it was getting late, and yet she still hadn't come home. That was why he was worried."Shawn, you are here."Hearing the voice of Shawn, she came to herself a little, but when she spoke, she was still listless."What's wrong with you? Did something happen to you? Nancy, don't scare me. "In his impression, she had always been an optimistic person. She wouldn't have been like this if she hadn't been in big trouble.However, she seemed to have lost her soul all the time, and she looked a little haggard."Something happened to Vicky."She murmured, took a deep breath and turned to look at him."Shawn, am I ridiculous? You and I have no mother to take care of us, but now I even let my child repeat the same mistake. "Speaking of this, she couldn't control her emotions and burst into tears, which made people feel particularly sorry for her, especially Shawn. He couldn't bear to see his sister like this.
