When she unveils identities novel (Shirley and Braden) novel Chapter 504

Chapter 504 His Inner Baggage

“Cordell?”

Shirley was also astonished when she saw him.

She thought such a “trash” should have completely disappeared from Nancy’s world, but she didn’t expect him to show up again.

Thinking of his various “misdeeds” towards Nancy, Shirley’s anger flared up, and she grabbed his collar. “Aren’t you dead yet? What do you want by bothering Nancy again? If you’re tired of living, I can help you with that!”

“I know you’re good. And if you want someone’s life, you can take it in minutes. I’m not the first, nor the last. If it makes Nancy happy, then do it!”

Cordell closed his eyes and spoke meaningfully.

That confused Shirley.

Shirley’s grip tightened, and she frowned at the man in front of her who seemed to be ready to die. “What do you mean by that? Why do you make it sound like I’m some kind of murderous demon? What do you mean you’re not the first, and not the last?”

Cordell’s collar was choking him, making it difficult for him to breathe, and his cheeks turned red. He said word by word, “Ms. Wilson, you know exactly what I mean. Nancy is still here, so there are some things I can’t say too openly. Some things… It’s enough that you and I know.”

“Playing tricks!’

Shirley saw that he was about to choke and eventually let go, fiercely throwing him to the ground.

Cordell got up awkwardly and went to Nancy’s side, checking her allergy recovery progress.

“Don’t worry, just get a good night’s sleep, and your face will be back to normal tomorrow.”

His tone was gentle, and his gaze even softer, as if it could melt.

“If it’s going to be fine tomorrow, why do I need to stay in the hospital for a week?” Nancy asked coldly.

If she hadn’t been obliged to rely on Cordell’s trusty medical skill, she wouldn’t have spoken to him.

“Your allergic reaction is severe and may recur. If you accidentally come into contact with the allergen again within this week, it could be life threatening. So, this week is an observation and protection period. You must stay for the whole week.’

“Fine, if that’s the case. I’ll stay for a week. If there’s nothing else, please leave us alone and don’t disturb my conversation with my friend.”

Nancy bluntly ordered him to leave, devoid of the shyness and innocence from their earlier passionate days, filled only with cold indifference and disdain.

“Okay, then I… I won’t bother you.”

Cordell swallowed his saliva. With a look of deep dismay, he quietly left the ward.

After he left, Shirley immediately gave Nancy a thumbs up. “Nancy, you’re impressive, able to let go and be so decisive!”

She had always thought Nancy was the kind of person who would remain trapped in a failed relationship.

After all, she and Cordell were once clingy and romantic…

Unexpectedly, she could let go so easily, which made Shirley admire her.

Nancy smiled faintly. “It’s not that I’m decisive, it’s just that the substitute is so tempting…”

“Substitute?’

Shirley showed a gossiping expression. ’Tell me. How exactly is this substitute tempting?”
