Reborn on Wedding Night: Flirting the Cold Bigshot into Blushes-Chapter 277: I Am Your Eyes
Perhaps due to her mood, Nancy Allen quickly recovered from this episode, except for her eyes.
She has endured innumerable hardships.
The initial agitation from receiving the call stemmed from two things: first, she couldn’t accept Godfery Shaw targeting the Allen family, and second, she feared for her mother’s safety. Now neither situation had occurred, and naturally, she was relieved in the face of the family’s difficulties.
Seeing her relaxed tone, Godfery Shaw also felt some tension ease.
He took Nancy by the hand and left.
"Be careful, there are steps ahead."
"Stay close to me, don’t let the branches by the roadside scratch you."
Nancy laughed softly, leaning towards Godfery Shaw’s ear and said, "Godfery Shaw, don’t you think you look like my guide dog?"
Godfery Shaw looked at Nancy with tender eyes, bent slightly, and whispered in her ear, "I am your eyes."
Nancy was stunned, her heartbeat quickened.
Not seeing clearly, she focused more on sensing. With Godfery speaking by her ear, she could even feel his breath against her ear, conjuring a vivid image in her mind: the high and unreachable flower stepping off its pedestal, speaking to her in a temptingly abstinent way, "I am your eyes."
With the ongoing mental imagery, Nancy’s heart beat even faster.
Godfery Shaw was a bit puzzled: "What’s wrong? Are you still uncomfortable?"
Nancy stuttered in a whisper: "No... nothing, let’s go."
Nancy contacted a teacher in Riverwood City to arrange a meeting with Matt Rowe.
Back then, Nancy used her teacher to save a sick Matt Rowe, just to have him help when the Allen family faced trouble.
The turmoil in the Allen family stemmed from Charles Allen being falsely accused.
Now the Allen family had gathered a lot of evidence to prove Charles Allen was wronged, but there were always people plotting, and higher-ups wanted Charles out of the picture, so the evidence never got the necessary attention.
This time, they needed someone with great influence to speak up.
Matt Rowe was the influential figure she had chosen.
Robert Reed quickly agreed, telling Nancy she could meet Matt Rowe at the editorial department at 2 p.m. that afternoon.
Godfery Shaw didn’t get involved; he just accompanied Nancy. If she needed to go to the editorial department, he made arrangements in advance.
Having Godfery Shaw around was truly comforting. If Mrs. Allen hadn’t insisted that Godfery not intervene, he would have resolved this matter quickly.
Godfery Shaw took Nancy to the editorial department.
Matt Rowe didn’t much care for someone as calculating as Nancy Allen, and said coolly, "What’s your business with me? You only have ten minutes."
Nancy didn’t mind Matt Rowe’s rudeness. She took a piece of paper and wrote, "I want you to speak up for the Allen family."
Sitting beside Nancy, Godfery seemed entirely uninterested in their conversation. He looked at Nancy’s handwriting, feeling it somewhat familiar, and marveled at how she could write so neatly despite her blurry vision.
Matt Rowe sneered, "I promised you back then that I would help the Allen family once in need, but I never said it would be for something like this. I won’t abet illegal activities."
Nancy’s expression turned cold and she wrote, "Old Rowe, without knowing the truth, you shouldn’t casually accuse others of wrongdoing. Also, my request for your voice is the repayment for saving your life, not me begging you. To be strict, this is a transaction."
Matt Rowe’s expression changed several times.
Nancy had already presented a lot of evidence they gathered, proving her father’s innocence.
She continued to write, "This evidence is sufficient to prove my father was wronged. If you doubt the authenticity, Old Rowe, you can verify it yourself."
Matt Rowe reviewed the documents in front of him, his expression gradually softening, "I can speak up for the Allen family."
Nancy wrote, "Thank you."
Though the note said thank you, there was not a hint of gratitude on her face.
Matt Rowe thought, Old Reed’s student is really unlikable. Even now, being mute, she remains so cold.
But he had to admit, she was right. It wasn’t a plea but a demand for repayment of a life-saving debt.
Nancy stood up and left with Godfery Shaw, not saying more to Matt Rowe.
Matt Rowe inexplicably wanted to say more, but seeing the time, the agreed ten minutes had passed, and he couldn’t bring himself to speak. So after Nancy left, he called Robert Reed and scolded that old guy.
Matt Rowe’s statement drew a lot of attention to the incident.
Some who wanted to obscure the truth could no longer do so, prompting a reinvestigation.
Godfery Shaw didn’t do much; he just stayed by Nancy’s side, watched her busily, and found her a good lawyer.
During the busy times, Nancy received a message from Emma Lewis.
"Nancy, do you want my family to voice support too? Should I come over to help you?"
"No need, I can handle it myself. With Godfery Shaw by my side, nothing will happen."
"Alright then, take care and contact me if anything comes up."
"Okay."
Emma Lewis originally wanted to ask where Nancy was staying. She had an apartment that Nancy could use temporarily, but thinking Nancy would definitely be at the Allen home after returning to Capital City, she didn’t ask further.
At that moment, Nancy was following Godfery Shaw to a community.
Not some villa or standalone residence, just a large flat in an ordinary community.
When Godfery Shaw was a child, after being locked in that small dark room for seven days, he never lived in the Shaw family home again. Until leaving for Riverwood City, he lived in this community.
For Nancy, this was her first time visiting here in both her lifetimes.
In her past life, she didn’t want to know anything about Godfery Shaw, let alone visit this place.
It’s a shame her eyesight was poor now; otherwise, she would have liked to tour Godfery Shaw’s childhood home.
"Nancy, you rest for a while, I’ll cook."
Nancy nodded, leaned on the sofa to rest.
Always prone to sleepiness, Nancy had been exhausted after a busy day and nodded off as soon as she leaned on the sofa.
Seeing this, Godfery picked up a blanket to cover her and went to the kitchen, planning to call her when the meal was ready.
Meanwhile, at the hospital.
Edward Allen said with some discomfort, "Mom, sister said she’s busy these couple of days and won’t be staying at home. I offered to visit her, but she said not to. I feel she’s too scared to see us. Her stress response might be more serious than we think. Mom, I’m really worried."
Clara Goodman was also very concerned.
In just one day, Matt Rowe’s voice, along with Godfery Shaw’s public statement, confirmed he wasn’t targeting the Allen family, improving their situation. Charles Allen, who hadn’t been able to comfortably visit the hospital, now came by.
Seeing his wife stable and well, but unaware of Nancy’s condition, added to the worries.
Edward Allen spent the day conducting extensive research on stress response symptoms on the internet, sharing his findings with his parents, making the three of them increasingly anxious.
Over these five years, no one knew better than the Allen family how severely Nancy’s health had deteriorated. Such a delicate state required careful nurturing; any further strain was unbearable.
So the Allen family was very concerned.
Charles Allen, with his impatient nature, immediately said, "I’ll go find Nancy."
Clara Goodman quickly reached out to stop Charles Allen, "Wait, why the rush? You know she doesn’t want us to know; do you really want to confront her and make her uncomfortable? Edward, give Godfery Shaw a call and ask him."
"Ask Godfery Shaw?"
"Yes, ask him."
