Chapter 26 Are You Alright?

The man lying in bed showed no response at all, when Nancy held his hand.

Nancy understood that no matter how she called, he wouldn’t react. He had been like this for many years.

She gently stroked the man’s cold face with her fingers tears uncontrollably streaming down her face.

“Daddy, Nan misses you so much.”

It had been three years. During these years, Nancy thought of her father every moment. If it hadn’t been for him being hidden by Vivian, how could Nancy, with her personality, be controlled by Vivian?

Her father was vital to her, and Vivian knew this too well.

Vivian stood behind, watching Nancy’s tearful face, disdainfully sneering.

It was a useless man. She didn’t understand why Nancy cared about him!

As a father, he didn’t provide any support to Nancy, on the contrary, he had only been a burden to her. If it were Vivian, she would have abandoned this man long ago.

After a mocking glance at Nancy, she raised her hand and called over the nurse and doctor who had been taking care of the man.

The doctor walked in, greeted Vivian, and went to stand beside the bed. His gaze fell on the man’s face, his voice cold and emotionless, “Your father’s recent condition is not very good, probably due to lying in bed for a long time. His muscles have commenced the process of atrophy. But I’m currently massaging his muscles every day and using acupuncture to stabilize the situation for now.”

Of course, Nancy was aware of this.

When she took care of her father before, she would massage his muscles at the hospital every day. As expected, Vivian didn’t treat him like her own father and didn’t take good care of him. After Vivian took him away, she didn’t pay any attention to these things

Fortunately, the doctor was doing it now.

Overwhelmed by an inexpressible discontent, she could only glance up at the doctor with gratitude and softly uttered, “Thank you.”

The doctor shrugged indifferently, “I’m paid to do this. No need to thank me. But I must remind you your father is not suitable for relocation at the moment, Miss Mirren has hired two caregivers to look after him here, and I monitor his condition every day. This is the best arrangement for him now.”All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

The implication was clear that Nancy was poor and simply couldn’t afford the high medical bills. If she insisted on taking her father away, there would be no hope for him.

Nancy had been saving money, working hard, trying to afford the best medical care for her father after she could live with him.

Since the doctor said so, whether it was true or not, for now, Nancy wouldn’t bring it up again.

“I know.”

After agreeing, Nancy turned to look at Vivian, “Could you all leave? I want to talk to my dad for a while.”

In her territory, Nancy was alone. Vivian didn’t think Nancy could come up with any tricks to turn the situation around. Besides, she really didn’t want to see Nancy crying here. Without a word, Vivian left with her people.

In the room, only Nancy and her father remained. Nancy sat by the bed, holding recounted everything that had happened in the past three years.

There was sadness and joy. She even told her father about Henry’s condition.

father’s hand, and

In the blink of an eye, two hours had passed. Outside the room, Vivian’s impatient voice sounded, “Nancy, are you done!?”

Nancy also knew that this was Vivian’s limit. It was impossible for her to stay here forever.

“I’ll come out right away!”

After answering, Nancy gently touched her father’s face once again, then whispered by his ears, “Dad, hang in there strong and wait for me to save you.”

Just as Nancy opened the door, the man lying on the bed, who had remained motionless thus far, abruptly stirred, subtly twitching his fingers…
