Chapter 493 A Snowy Night
Chapter 493 A Snowy Night
It had been a while but Doris still didn't come, so Nancy went back to her dormitory alone.
Another hour had passed, but there was still no sign of Doris. Nancy kept checking the time, but the more she did, the more she got worried.
With her heart hanging in her throat, Nancy went downstairs in a down jacket and begged the dormitory keeper to open the door for her.
It was snowing heavily outside, and no one else was walking around the campus aside from Nancy.
Just as she walked to the garden, she heard someone calling her for help.
Her eyes widened when she realized that it was Doris' voice!
At that time, Nancy was so scared that she forgot how cold it was. She found two egg-sized stones and ran to where the voice was coming from. From a distance, she saw two men who were tearing Doris' clothes off.
No matter how hard Doris struggled, she couldn't get away from the two men. Doris was pressed hard in the snow by them, and all she could do was cry for help.
If no one passed by, Doris would surely be raped!
In a hurry, Nancy ran towards them. Without saying a word, she threw the stones on the heads of the two men from behind.
The two men fell down on their knees and wailed as they held their injured heads.
Blood instantly dyed the white snow red...
Although her hands were trembling, Nancy called the police right away.
That night, both Nancy and Doris stayed in the police station for a whole night. Doris was not only scared about what happened. She was also scared that Nancy would be expelled from school because of her.
Fortunately, it didn't happen. Not only hadn't Nancy been punished, but she also earned the title of being brave.
Her classmates made fun of Nancy for a long time.
Because of what happened that night, Doris decided not to walk alone at night again.
The truth was, Doris broke up with her boyfriend that day. She wanted to take a walk in the campus alone, but she didn't expect to meet the bad guys. 'Thanks to Nancy. If she didn't rescue me...who knows what could've happened to me?' she thought.
Nancy was deeply immersed in her memory and kept talking.
The smile on Doris' face became wider as she listened to Nancy. Yes, she would never forget that snowy night. Mainly the part when the blood from those men's heads stained the white snow...
That was why Doris fainted at the sight of blood.
When Nancy mentioned it, the scene appeared in Doris' mind.
"Doris, do you remember?" With her mouth parched, Nancy looked at Doris expectantly.
Shaking her head, Doris replied, "No, I didn't lose my memory at all. How could you believe Jay?"
"I'm not lying, okay? Nancy is your good friend. Why do you have to keep a secret from her?" said Jay in a low voice.
"I really didn't lose my memory. I remember once when I drove Nancy by a bicycle to our school. Suddenly, the bicycle jolted when I passed the speed bumping belt, and Nancy fell directly from the bicycle on the ground. Unfortunately, I didn't realize it at all. I rode the bicycle back to the school, and then... Ha ha, then I found out that Nancy was not there. Forty minutes later, Nancy went to school alone miserably. I blamed her for going missing. I asked her why didn't she tell me before she got off the bicycle, and then... I was beaten up by Nancy." Remembering this scenario, Doris couldn't stop herself from laughing.
"I knew you didn't lose your memories!" Nancy thought that Doris was just messing with Jay. What Doris was talking about was the embarrassing scene that happened between the two of them when they were in college.
Back then, everything was so simple. They were happy, pure and carefree. If they would reminisce, their past was really funny.
"I... I'm not lying, Doris..." Then Jay leaned forward and stared into Doris' eyes. "Have you regained your memory?"
"I've told you that I never lost my memory. I'm just kidding. Well, stop it. It's already late. It's time for Nancy to go home and take a rest. Nancy, Jay is here now. You can go home and have a rest." Doris didn't want Nancy to find out that she had lost her memory, so she tried to avoid Jay's topic.
Jay was not a stupid man, so he understood what Doris meant. "Okay, Nancy, thank you very much for today. You can go home and have a rest."
"Well, if you can't take care of Doris alone, you can ask for a nurse to assist you." Today was indeed tiring, but Doris was like a sister to her so she didn't mind.
"No, my family will be here soon." As he had been so busy today, Jay hadn't told his parents yet that Doris had given birth to their son.
"Okay, Doris, I will come to see you tomorrow." Then Nancy picked up her coat and walked towards the door.
Looking at her back, Doris replied, "If you are busy, don't worry about me."
With a smile, Nancy turned around to face Doris. "Nothing is more important than you." Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
Her touching words made Doris smile.
When Nancy left, Jay looked at Doris inquisitively. "Doris, do you really remember everything?"
"I was..." At this time, Doris wanted to deny it again.
"You... Will you go back to being as fierce as before?" That matter was what worried Jay the most.
Doris's eyes went wide. "What do you mean? If you think Nancy is better..."
"Stop. You have been considerate to me recently. Don't ruin my good impression on you. You have regained your memory. If you make fun of me and Nancy again, that will be unkind."
"Well, do you think Nancy will fall in love with you, a playboy? She loves Charles, and I'm the only person who was stupid enough to be fooled by you and married you..."
As Doris complained, Jay sighed bitterly. "Sure enough, you have regained your memory, but I think it's better for you to lose it."
People who lost their memories would lose a sense of security. Naturally, Doris would rely on Jay. If she did, then she would be gentle to him.
However, as soon as Doris regained her memory, she immediately showed her true colors.
That was why Jay shook his head and sighed.
With gritted teeth, Doris exclaimed, "Jay... What did you say?"
"I said that it was time to feed our baby. I'll get the milk ready right away." After saying that, Jay picked up the milk bottle and went out of the room. "Nurse, please tell me how many scoops of milk powder that a newborn needs at a time..."
Doris lay down on the bed and turned to look at the little Ace who was slowly wriggling.
Her lips slowly formed into a smile of contentment as she stared at her baby.
As it was already winter, the thin clothes and Erin's coat Nancy was wearing were not enough to ease the cold. She was sneezing when she came back home.
Worried, Charles prepared clean clothes for Nancy and gently said, "Nancy, take a hot shower first."
Before she could even reply, Nancy sneezed again. "Well, thank you."
"It's my pleasure. Don't be too formal; we have been married for a long time and it is my duty to take care of you. I know you are tired today, so I asked the kids to go to bed early. You take a shower and eat something after," Charles said gently.
