Sweet Twins

Chapter 547 Follow Me

Once Nancy left this place, her life would go back to normal. But she could already imagine what Nana would face afterwards.

It was hard to tell whether Nana could survive or not.

"Silly girl, I've just said that I'm dying soon. It doesn't matter how and when. I'm content that you can live a well once you leave this hell. Come on, follow me." After saying that, Nana bent over and ran forward.

Seeing the hesitation in her eyes, Edward reassured her, "Let's go, Nancy. As soon as we got out of here, I will find a way to save Nana."

Although she was still hesitating, Nancy said, "Okay."

The three of them passed through a narrow and closed path, and then they had to climb over a high wall.

However, the wall was more than five meters high, and Edward and Nancy couldn't climb over it any way.

"Wait a minute..." Nana said and disappeared in the garden. Soon, she came back with a soft ladder.

In full force, she threw the soft ladder until it hung on the high wall.

After securing the ladder, Edward turned to Nancy. "Nancy, you go first."

"Nana, come with us. Go up the soft ladder first." If Nana stayed here, she would be tortured; or worse, she could die.

So, Nancy thought it would be better for her leave with them now.

With a bitter smile, Nana gently shook her head. "I'm used to living here. I don't want to leave, but you have to." "Why?"

"Don't ask why. You will be found soon. Go up the soft ladder quickly." To stop her from asking any more questions, Nana stretched out her hand and pushed Nancy hard.

When Nancy refused to move, Edward also urged, "Hurry up, Nancy."

Left without a choice, Nancy climbed the ladder. However, the moment she stepped on the wall, the alarms went off which alerted the whole courtyard.

In a quiet night, it was exceptionally frightening.

"Hurry up. It will be too late if you don't leave now." The alarm became louder, so Nana pushed Edward too.

"Okay, thank you." Unlike Nancy, he was quick to climb up the walls. This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

"Nancy, remember, leave here and never come back. Don't tell anyone about this place," Nana warned.

"Nana, why?" Up until this very moment, Nancy still couldn't figure out what Nana was afraid of and why she would rather die here than leave.

"Just because! Nancy, it's not important. You have to hurry up." A hustle and bustle came, and the guards quickly arrived. Nana anxiously looked around while driving them away.

In one swift move, Edward pulled the soft ladder and hung it outside the wall.

"Don't ask any more questions. The most important thing now is to escape. Let's talk about it after this." Although Edward was worried about Nana too, his priority now was Nancy. "Hurry up. Get down the ladder."

There was nothing else she could do but thank Nana. Nancy wanted her to come with them, but she was firm with her decision.

Feeling helpless, Nancy went down the ladder, followed by Edward.

As soon as they successfully climbed down the wall, they heard Nana's agonizing scream, and then it stopped abruptly. At that moment, Nancy felt as if her heart was being squeezed. What did they do to Nana?

The footsteps faded away, and then another noise came from a distance.

So, Edward held Nancy's arm and said, "Hurry up. There is no exit here. They will come out soon."

"Edward, do you have a phone? I want to call Charles." The first thing Nancy wanted to do when she came out was to call Charles to let him know that she was safe now.

But Edward only gave her a cold look. "Nancy, I don't have a phone. Besides, what you should think about now is how we could escape, not Charles."

Slightly embarrassed, Nancy nodded. "Okay, I will listen to you."

"Let's go." It was Edward who led the way, and Nancy tailed after him.

The two of them went into the boundless bushes, which made it impossible for anyone to find them.

This was also Nana's painstaking effort. If it was somewhere else, no matter how fast they ran, they might not be able to escape from those hitmen.

After a long run, they finally saw an asphalt road.

Exhausted, Nancy gradually stopped and sat on the roadside.

Sitting next to her was Edward, who was now looking at her.

They stared at each other, without saying a single word. The only sound that could be heard was their heavy breathing. All of a sudden, Nancy burst into laughter and then she hugged Edward. "Thank you, Edward. I thought I would die in the club. Fortunately, I'm still alive. You're so handsome now!"

Her freedom came too fast. At this moment, Nancy felt that she was the happiest woman in the world.

"Well, how will you show your gratitude? Will you go abroad with me?" As he spoke, Edward raised his hand and gently touched Nancy's clothes cut by the bush.

Maybe it was because of her ripped clothes, or the words he said that Nancy's face turned red in embarrassment.

To ease the awkwardness, Nancy laughed a little. "Edward, you must be kidding. You know I have a family and kids. I can't go with you. Why are you making fun of me?" "I'm very grateful that you saved me. Charles will also thank you after he knows it. So, let's go home now. Edward, let's ask Charles to treat you a big meal. I haven't eaten for a long time. I'm really hungry now." Then Nancy tried to grab Edward's hand, but he dodged it.

With a cold face, Edward stood up and walked forward alone.

Looking at his back, Nancy couldn't help but sigh. She knew that Edward loved her so much, but it was all in the past now. They could only be as close as siblings in their lives.

With a shrug, Nancy trotted to catch up with Edward and joked, "Edward, you are a magnanimous man in my memory. You won't blame me, will you?"

To her dismay, Edward only ignored her.

Not wanting to give up, Nancy ran up to Edward and held his arm stubbornly. "Edward, don't be like this. You are the uncle of my children. Why are you still so sentimental?"

Hearing this, Edward stopped and looked at her. "Am I sentimental?"

It didn't seem like he was joking, because his eyes were cold.

This made Nancy a little embarrassed. Her lips formed into an awkward smile. "Edward, I know you saved me, but I can't betray Charles and leave the children just because you saved me. You know me. I don't ask for too much. I just want to live a good life with Charles and my kids, safe and sound. Well, that's it."

The sun was about to rise, signifying a new hope. Edward stared at the sky, and asked, "Nancy, if I tell you that Charles may not be the man you can trust for the rest of your life, will you still choose to stay with him?"

In the morning light, she could clearly see Edwards's serious expression.

"Edward, I love Charles. You know that my mother and children are at home. I can't leave them alone," said Nancy.

Her voice was low, and she was rubbing her hands, as if she didn't know what to do.

They both fell silent for a while.

After taking a deep breath, Edward turned to look at her again. "What if I tell you that this club belongs to Fu family? Do you still want to go to find Charles?"

These words stirred up a storm in Nancy's heart.

How could she believe it?

Why should she believe it?

For the second time around, Nancy laughed out loud. "Edward, please don't make me laugh, okay? Charles is so busy with his own business. How could he do such a dirty business? Do you have any misunderstanding about him?"

"Nancy, I know you won't believe me, but whether you believe me or not, I won't allow you to see Charles again," Edward said overbearingly.
