Chapter 35 Let Me Go

Jay's smile grew wider as his eyes moved away from her. She watched him carefully with dreamy eyes. "Don't worry. I'm not interested in you," Jay said gently with a smile.

"Oh... that's great, then!" Doris sighed in relief. She felt that as long as she didn't do that, she could do anything for him.

And she'd do anything for him. 'Doris, you proud girl! You will end up scolding yourself for this later,' she bitterly thought to herself.

They continued to move forward together, and then Jay stopped suddenly.

Doris followed where Jay was looking, and saw the half-open door of a room. Inside the room, a woman stood beside Charles.

Charles looked depressed, he had a gloomy look on his face as he rested his back on the far wall of the room. He looked like he was very worried about something.

His current state made him look completely different from his normal handsome look.

"Charles? What is he doing here?" Doris asked confused. Her face slightly contorted into a puzzled look.

Jay rushed towards the room, pushed the door wide open and hurried inside.

"Charles, what are you doing here?" Jay asked in a surprised tone of voice as he approached Charles. He then took one of Charles' arms and supported him.

"Jay, is that you?" Charles asked as he studied Jay's face with blurred eyes. Charles smiled at him, but looked weak and pale. It seemed like he had too much to drink.

Charles was not normally like this. He

with such longing that they both gasped for air right away.

It was such a passionate and powerful kiss that Nancy could not find the strength to resist or stop it.

She was reluctant to reciprocate his kiss at first, but she quickly lost herself in his kiss and she quickly kissed him back and with the same intensity.

She felt like small boat at sea that was caught in the middle of an emotional maelstrom. And she felt like the powerful waves would soon capsize her.

For a moment, she decided to let herself go, and allow herself to sink into the deep emotional maelstrom that overwhelmed her. She felt that it would be a happy way to die.

"Nancy, Nancy..." Charles repeated her name and he sounded weaker each time as he continued to kiss her.

His voice then became so weak like it has lost its strength after a thousand years of longing for the same girl that never came.

His breathing became more and more labored and his grip on her arm quickly loosened and fell to his side helplessly.

"Charles!" Nancy exclaimed nervously when she saw Charles fall into a state of unconsciousness before her eyes. His breath was labored and shallow.

He drank too much. Way beyond what his body could safely handle. And he passed out because of the excess alcohol in his system.

She helped him to the nearby bed and asked a nurse to give him an injection to lower his blood alcohol.

She then administered a pack of glucose on him.
