Chapter 895
Chapter 895 I Want to Live Well The man wasn't just crazy. He was also seriously sick.
Bianca seemed to see through it all, unlike Natalie's frustrated state.
"He was already quite sick." Even without this incident, Bianca wasn't sure what would come next. So now, with Malcolm appearing in her life like this, she was surprised but quickly regained her clarity.
Natalie knew that when Bianca was in Verde City, she carefully selected every lawsuit she took on. She wouldn't touch cases without merit, like simple disagreements between couples or in-law conflicts. Only the complex and serious ones got her attention.
So, every lawsuit she handled was crucial to her. The one she was currently dealing with was undoubtedly important too.
Who would've thought that this matter would turn out like this?
"You're right. Malcolm is indeed quite sick!" Even if Malcolm wanted to interact with Bianca, he shouldn't have done it this way.
What was this now? Had he done this just to spend a few more minutes with Bianca?! It was evident that both Bianca and Natalie now realized how difficult it would be to win the lawsuit.
After exchanging a few more words, Bianca hung up on Natalie's call, clearly irritated.
In the morning, Nancy arrived. Yesterday, Bianca was fearless when she heard about the lawyer's credentials.
But today...! When she saw the bruises on Nancy's face, her heart tightened. "He hit you again?!" "Because he found a good lawyer, he got arrogant,” Nancy replied.
Bianca's eyes flashed with emotions at her
words. She wanted to say something comforting to Nancy but couldn't find the words.
She sighed and said, "It'll be over soon, okay?" Even now, Bianca couldn't help but offer Nancy a few words of comfort. Nancy believed her words and nodded.
She stepped forward and hugged Bianca.
Bianca wasn't used to strangers being so close to her, and she instinctively wanted to push Nancy away. But when she felt Nancy trembling, her outstretched hand stopped.
‘I want to live," Nancy said with clear anguish.
Bianca paused at Nancy's words.
Those words had once filled her nerves and rationality in the face of adversity.
Nancy's situation was very dire. Back then, Bianca wasn't much better off than Nancy was now. She even thought about ending it all at one point, but she silently told herself she couldn't!
"You can stay at my place for now," Bianca said with unprecedented determination.
On the day of the trial, she would win! But she knew that since Malcolm was involved, he wouldn't go down without a fight.
Her head ached. Nancy didn't answer Bianca's suggestion but continued to tremble uncontrollably.
Seeing the bloodstains on Nancy's clothes, Bianca couldn't help but wonder how Nancy endured the pain time and time again. How desperate must she have been back then? After comforting Nancy, she saw a glimpse of hope in her eyes. When the claws of despair reached out to her again, Nancy refused to go back because she wanted to live well.
So, she accepted Bianca's arrangement.
Nancy was diligent, taking care of almost all the household chores and keeping the house spotless because she knew Bianca had a preference for cleanliness.
"You're injured. Don't do these things," Bianca said, noticing a cut on Nancy's forehead.
Even though it had been treated, it still looked distressing.
But Nancy insisted, "I have no money to give you, and I don't know how to thank you. I can only do these things to repay you." People in remote villages were just that simple and sincere. It was Nancy's resilience and simplicity that strengthened Bianca's determination to help her escape from that man's clutches.
During dinner, Bianca was engrossed in her research. The savory smell wafting from the kitchen aroused her appetite. Turning around, she saw Nancy grilling meat in the open kitchen.
Nancy looked a bit embarrassed. "I noticed there were a lot of ingredients in the fridge, so I took out some meat and vegetables." "It's okay." Bianca nodded in approval.
Nancy looked at the grilled meat with a longing expression. Living with a man like that must mean their usual living conditions weren't great, right? So, Bianca felt even more sympathetic towards this woman.NôvelDrama.Org content rights.
Nancy's cooking skills were impressive. The aroma made Bianca unable to continue reading her materials, so she went to the kitchen and admired the golden-brown meat.
"Your cooking is really good!" Bianca complimented.
"I'm happy you like it," Nancy replied, finding her own worth in Bianca's praise.
‘I've always wanted to open a barbecue shop, but I don't have the capital. So, after leaving that man, I'll find a job first. I'll open my own shop when I've saved enough money!" Nancy said, her eyes full of hope and longing for the future. : ‘That's a great idea," Bianca nodded in agreement.
At this point, she had to admit that Nancy was much stronger than she had been back then.
After leaving Simeria, Bianca had been lost and unsure of what to do or what she could do. Yet, even though Nancy was still trapped, she had already begun planning for her future.
"Would you like to try some?" Nancy offered, I handing a piece of meat to Bianca.
Bianca tasted it and said, "Wow, it's delicious. I If you open a shop, you'll definitely have many customers." I Encouraging someone like this was probably something Bianca had only done for Natalie before. But this time, it seemed like Bianca's life had changed somehow. She accepted I Nancy's presence despite her usual aversion to strangers.
Bianca's compassion had led her to let Nancy stay here.
Seeing Bianca's encouragement, Nancy felt a bit more hopeful. Bianca could tell Nancy was a kind girl and would have lived well if not for
that man.
"Why are you so good at this?" Bianca asked.
Since coming here, she had eaten grilled meat before. But it had been so bad that she didn't even want to eat out again. She had thought the local food here was just unbearable, but Nancy's cooking skills had changed her perception of the local food culture.
"Before I got married, I used to eat out too, but I couldn't stand the taste either," Nancy I explained.
So, she studied cooking and was determined to make food she liked.
Bianca smiled. It turned out they had both been pushed to excel by circumstances.
