Chapter 218 Nancy, I Will Love You Twice As Much

“Nancy,” Nicholas called out to her, his excitement palpable. “So, is it me? Are you saying that the person you’ve loved all along is me?”

Until now, he had thought it was all a dream. If he hadn’t heard it directly from her, he would have found it hard to believe. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“No,” she deliberately denied.

Of course, he wasn’t accepting a ‘no’ for an answer. He cupped her cheeks, looking as thrilled as an awkward child. “No, Nancy, you can’t lie to me. I heard it; I heard it loud and clear.”

As the words left his lips, he kissed Nancy over and over. He was simply overjoyed. This was, by far, the happiest moment he had experienced in a long time.

Bowing his head, he seized her lips and kissed her passionately. All his excitement, happiness, elation, and emotion were encapsulated in that kiss. If he could, he wished he could melt her with his kiss.

It wasn’t until Nancy could hardly catch her breath and her whole body turned into mush in his arms. that Nicholas finally, reluctantly released her.

“Nancy, thank you.” He genuinely thanked her, grateful that the person she loved happened to be him,

not someone else.

“Thank me for what?” She raised her head, her whole being still rosy like the morning sun because of their earlier passion.

“I’m already on cloud nine that you like me, but I never expected to be even happier than that. Nancy, thank you for giving me this unique surprise.”

“It’s your fault for being so slow to realize it.”

This time, Nicholas didn’t deny it at all. “Yes, I was an idiot for taking so long to realize your feelings. and I’m sorry-

Before he could finish his sentence, she suddenly reached out and covered his mouth. “No, don’t say that.”

“Okay, I won’t.”

Still, he was puzzled about one thing. “But why ten years? We haven’t known each other for that long

“Silly.” Nancy laughed, delicately brushing his brow with her fingertip. “Didn’t you ask me why I’ve always had a soft spot for high school? Even on the day we got divorced, I purposely went there.”

“Why?”

“Because that’s where I first met you, and it’s also where I fell in love with you at first sight.”

That year, she was 14 years old, just starting her first year of high school. Now, she was 24 and had graduated from graduate school. It had truly been a long journey. The most precious and beautiful

years of her life and youth. she gave to him without hesitation or reservation.

Nicholas quietly listened, his heart filled with waves of emotion. He didn’t want to speak now; he just wanted to listen to Nancy’s quiet words.

“The first time we met wasn’t the day I went to the Sallow Residence to find Grandpa with the jade bracelet. It was during my freshman year of high school, during boot camp. I fainted, and you carried me to the infirmary, she recounted. “I remember. You were so radiant back then, like the brightest star in the universe. My heart trembled, and from that moment on, I couldn’t see any other boys. But…..”

Her gaze gradually became despondent. “Later, I recovered, and once, I tried to approach you and say hello. I realized that you had completely forgotten me. You didn’t even remember who I was.”

“I’m sorry, Nancy.” He held her tenderly, his heart aching.

Even after all these years, he seemed to be able to feel her pain through her eyes at that time. If he was happy, excited, and thrilled when he first learned about all this, he felt even more heartache and regret

now.

His heart ached for all the love she poured into him at that time but never received any response, and he regretted taking so long to realize it.

Nancy was right; he was truly quite foolish. His memory quickly returned to the night of their divorce. At that time, she stood on the high school field, calmly recounting the past.

She said, “You know, he was like a brilliant star that accidentally fell into my heart, shining brightly and dazzling. But at that time, he didn’t even remember me.”

She said, “After knowing how outstanding his academic performance was, I worked even harder on my studies. I studied desperately, almost madly, just to be as excellent as him one day, to attend the same school. That way, I could still see him and think about him.”

She said, “Even if he didn’t know me, I was content. I didn’t ask for much. My desires were simple. As long as I could see him, I was satisfied.”

Only then did he realize that the person she spoke of was not someone else but him. She even went all the way to ask him, “Nicholas, do you want to know who that person is?”

But he had stubbornly refused, saying he didn’t want to know,

Only then did he understand just how foolish he had been back then and how much time they had missed together.

“Nancy. He held her again, his throat choked with emotion and his hands trembling.

He wanted to speak, to say something, but suddenly found himself unable to utter a single word, even though he had opened his mouth. In the end, all he could do was hold her tightly with all his strength

After a while, he whispered into her ear, “Nancy, from now on, I will love you twice as much. I’ll make up for all those years of our youth that I didn’t love you, okay?”

“Okay” Nancy nodded and couldn’t hold back her tears any longer.

len years ago, she had silently, wordlessly loved him, never imagining their paths would cross one day. Two years ago, she married him, becoming Mrs. Sallow and his wife. But now, this was the happiest and sweetest moment for her because she knew she had not loved in vain; her love had found its

response.

After a decade of unrequited love, her feelings were finally reciprocated. It was at that moment that Nancy felt all the past heartaches and affections had been worth it.

Although Nicholas had undergone surgery, his physical condition was relatively good, and he recovered quite quickly. Two days later, the doctor said he could be discharged.

In the morning, Nancy packed their things, and Lynn came to pick them up in a car. They helped Nicholas into the vehicle first while she stood outside the car, hesitating, and then spoke, “Nicholas, let Lynn take you home first, and I’ll come see you later.”

You’re visiting Christian, aren’t you?”

As he spoke, she immediately widened her eyes, quite surprised. “How did

Your thoughts are written all across your face.”

“Will you be mad?” she asked.

“Go ahead.”

you know?”

With that, a smile instantly appeared on her face. She leaned in and planted a kiss on his cheek. Thank you, Nicholas. You’re amazing. Don’t worry, I’ll come back to you after my visit.”

“Of course.”

After Lynn drove away, Nancy made a few purchases before heading to the hospital. “Excuse me, could you please tell me which room Christian Zayn is in?” she asked the nurse at the reception desk, her tone gentle.

“Christian Zayn? Is that the correct name?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“He was discharged this morning, not too long ago.”

Discharged? I suppose I’m a bit too late.

Luckily, she had Henley’s phone number from the other day, so she immediately dialed ut. “Hey, Henley, where can I find Captain Zayn now?”
