Nancy didn't sleep well, either. After the effect of the anesthetic wore off, her shoulder began to ache again.
Charles sat on the edge of her bed, holding her hands to comfort her through the grievous pain.
When Nancy woke up, she found Charles fast asleep next to her.
Nancy wanted to go to the bathroom, but she didn't want to wake Charles up. However, when she tried to get up, Charles opened his eyes vigilantly.
"Nancy, you’re awake. Does your shoulder still hurt?" he asked eagerly.
"I feel much better now, I just want to go to the bathroom," Nancy replied.
Charles offered to help her get up, "Let me assist you."
She gave him a broad smile and said, "Although my shoulders hurt a bit, my feet are fine. I can go by myself!
"Okay, I'll wait for you outside," Charles responded.
"No, why don’t you go and buy something for us to eat. I’m famished!" Nancy said, acting like a spoiled child.
"What do you want to eat?"
"How about pizza?"
"Okay. Wait for me. I'll be back soon!" Charles said as he walked out.
When Nancy exited the bathroom, she saw Caspar entering.
Nancy was stunned. "What brings you here?"
"Nancy, our father is in trouble. Hurry!"
Nancy gave him a perplexed look. Although she didn't get along with her father, she had never thought that something would happen to him one day.
"What happened to him?" Nancy was baffled. She completely forgot about her wound. She took out her phone and was about to call Clark.
But Caspar stopped her. "Our father is in trouble. Whom are you calling? Just come with me!"
Without thinking about anything else, Nancy followed him as he made his way out.
Her mind was in shambles when she pictured Clark lying on a bed.
She followed Caspar into the elevator.
Just then, Jay and Doris walked out of another elevator. They noticed Nancy in the lift and asked, "Hey, Nancy, where are you going?"
Just as Nancy was about to reply, the elevator's door closed.
"Nancy? Maybe it wasn't Nancy," said Jay. "She is injured. How could she come out alone?" Jay didn't see Nancy himself, so he thought that Doris might have mistaken someone else for Nancy.
"Oh, I'm pretty sure it was Nancy," Doris said as she anxiously stamped her feet.
Still doubting Doris, Jay walked towards the window of the corridor. He witnessed Caspar and Nancy getting inside a car.
"Is that Caspar?" Beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. It was recently revealed that the capital flow of Caspar's company was broken, and his company was in a state of chaos. It was unclear as to why he visited Nancy this time.
"Call Nancy as soon as possible," Jay stated.
Looking at the panicked look on Jay's face, Doris apprehended that something serious must have happened. She called Nancy in a hurry, but her phone was turned off.
"Jay, tell me, what happened? Who on earth did she offend now?" Doris asked anxiously.
"I don't know yet," he replied as he called the bodyguard and told him the license plate number of the car.
"Yes, Mr. Fang." When the bodyguard listened to Jay, he immediately ran out with his subordinates.
