Chapter 52 We Can Talk Later

"Humph, I didn't expect your daughter to be so popular." At the other side of the hall, Jill pursed her lips in displeasure as she pushed Clark in a wheelchair.

"Yeah. I didn't expect it, either," Clark echoed, anxiously tapping his fingers on his knees.

"Don't forget that Fannie might go to prison because of her, Clark. You must make sure she gets Fannie out of trouble. Otherwise, you can just forget about me!" Jill threatened viciously.

"Honey, Fannie is my daughter too. I don't want her to be in prison either." Clark sighed helplessly. As if he wasn't already stressed out by the whole situation, his wife was putting even more pressure on him.

Meanwhile, Nancy was sitting in her office, so busy examining every patient that she had forgotten her worries altogether.

It wasn't until Charles heard the last sentence that he finally let go of Jay and warned, "You must help me protect her. Don't let anyone bully her."

Jay's eyes lit up in disbelief. "Charles, are you really in love with her?" For as long as he had known Charles, the latter had always been indifferent to women. When it came to Nancy, however, he was like a completely different person, always thinking and talking about her.
