After Ethan left, Nancy's shoulders slouched forward as she dropped her eyes to the floor. How did she end up here? She released a heavy defeated sigh before picking up her clothes and putting them on.
Fannie and Doris came in at that moment. They looked at Nancy worriedly for a moment before Fannie broke the silence. "Nancy, I know that you think I am the one behind this unfortunate incident. But trust me, sister. I am not. I don't know who did all this but the only way we can find this out is if we seek a police investigation. Let's call the police and sort out the matter. This is the only way we can find out who was behind everything that took place. Besides, it'll remove your doubts and prove my innocence," Fannie suggested. But she was far from calm. She said all of that gritting her teeth, while trying to keep her calm.
The unfortunate incident had spread through the internet at breakneck speed. Nancy feared now that everyone knew, people on the Internet must be blaming her for all that happened.
If she went out now, she would face everyone's wrath if anything.
"I'll call the police," Doris quietly informed before calling the police.
There was no other way to solve the issue now. The matter had already spread, and they would only be helped if they went to seek legal help.
After the call they were asked to pay a visit to the police station. So, Doris and Nancy went to the police station to lodge a record of the incident. Then they went to the nursing home.
Nancy wore a sad face all the way to the nursing home. She was breaking inside. Her entire body was cold and shivering often whenever the flash of that unfortunate incident was flashing through her mind. She felt like falling into hell.
Doris noticed Nancy's saddened state. It worried her to look at her. "How about I stay?" Doris offere
eyes from her.
Nancy shifted her weight from one foot to another as the awkward silence settled between them. She didn't know how to start the conversation.
A while later when the silence was too much to bear she gulped the embarrassment down her throat and broke it by saying, "Good morning, Mr. Fu."
Charles gave a tight lipped smile. Then he completely ignored her words and snubbed, "Nancy, you didn't answer Bobby's question."
"What do you mean?" Nancy blinked, averted her eyes.
"Playing dumb I see," he retorted.
Nancy took a deep breath before slowly raising her eyes and finally meeting his gaze.
She did a quick scrutiny of his disheveled appearance. His eyes were bloodshot and he had grown an overnight stubble.
However, his hair was neat.
He looked undoubtedly tired.
It was obvious that these days were keeping him on his toes. He was having a hard time taking care of unwanted issues.
Definitely, he wasn't fine.
He didn't even dare to turn on his computer last night in fear that the gossip about Nancy and Ethan would turn out to be true. He would shatter to pieces if that was true.
He was afraid that he would explode. He was afraid that he'd run to Nancy and confront her about the incident. He wanted to know badly whether it was true, and whether what happened between her and Ethan was true. He had feared if he went to Nancy he wouldn't be able to keep his cool and would burst out in anger.
He was afraid of her answer. He feared she'd say, it was all true.
So, he stayed shut in his room. He pretended he knew nothing and saw nothing online.
He couldn't even sleep last night. All he could do was drink and smoke until he could no longer think about the incident.
The next day, he wanted to lock himself in the room as well, but then he took Bobby to the Kindergarten.
