"What then? ! Dr. Nancy, think of a way. The colonel is already a bit frustrated and has been trying to refuse treatment. If this happens to affect him, he will really die." Ben was so anxious that his eyes turned red.

Nancy shrugged. "Let me think about it."

During the minute when she was pacing back and forth with a frown on her forehead, Ben's eyes didn't dare to take a second off her, as if Nancy could come up with some brilliant plan to make Eric full of energy and return to his original state in the next second.

"I don't know either," but in the end Nancy turned her face back dejectedly. "How about I stay here for a few days, and if he makes a fuss again, just drop the needle!"

"This..." Ben was speechless, but it seemed there was no other way.

After a moment's thought, he pounded his hand hard and gave up.

Nancy stayed up until five in the morning, and when she saw that Eric was fast asleep, she took a nap for an hour and hurried back to get her change of clothes.

After she left, Ben moved the folding bed, found a corner to spread out the bedding, and deliberately found a few sheets to temporarily make a curtain for Nancy as a makeshift nest.

With the key in hand to open the door, Nancy, with a dizzy head, made out the noise coming from her home.

Carl angrily questioned May, "Is what Jason said true? ! Was what you just said on the phone true? !"

"No Carl, believe me," May hoarse as if she was really anxious. "I really didn't ask him for five million. He said that if I dug out where Nancy works now, he would give me fifty thousand, not five million!"

"Then why did he say you're going to get five million for Nancy's lost youth and tell him to find someone to deal with her? !" Carl seemed to be in a rage and slapped the table furiously.

Nancy frowned and nervously felt her pocket to realize that she had forgotten her phone last night while rushing out.

After listening for a while, she realized that it was Jason who called when she was not at home, Carl answered, and then he heard May and Jason arguing on the phone, and then a family war broke out.

"That day Nancy followed me out, recorded what I said on the phone, and said something like she wasn't worth five million. I couldn't understand it at all. Then she left, and I called Jason to ask about five million and when I would give it to him."

May argued with herself, "I said Nancy knew I was in contact with him, had just left by bus from my side and didn't see Nancy back, and I didn't know she had run into a bad guy!"

"I tell you, you'd better distance yourself from that brat and don't let me know what you've done to hurt Nancy. This time she's fine, otherwise, I, I..." Carl was so angry that he couldn't speak.

May didn't speak. Her voice sounded like she was crying.

Nancy was standing at the door. It was either open or not.

"Have you been noisy enough?" A cold voice came from Doris. "It's rare that I don't have to attend the morning study session, but I just heard you shout. Here, this is what I want. Remember to give it to me later."

Nancy heard the voice and Doris seemed to be walking towards the door, so she quickly crouched down and rushed to the corner upstairs to hide.

When Doris was gone, there was silence in the room for a long time, and neither Carl nor May spoke.

It was about a dozen minutes later that May's voice of reconciliation was heard. "Carl, I know I was wrong. I won't contact Jason anymore. When he gives me that fifty thousand yuan, I won't contact him anymore."

"How dare you ask for that 50,000 yuan? ! You betrayed my daughter. What? You, as a stepmother, don't think she's your daughter, do you? !" Carl roared.

May immediately softened and screamed loudly, "No, no, Carl, don't be angry."

Soon again, she said in a fawning tone, "When will you buy Doris what she wants? !"

Hearing this, Nancy couldn't hold back any longer, rushed downstairs, took a deep breath to calm down, then turned the key into the lock hole and unlocked the door...

May was struck by Jason.

Nancy's mind was as clear as a mirror, but she just gave her a faint glance and said to Carl, "Dad, I'm back."

'Have you had breakfast? !" Carl's eyes were still red, and it was obvious that he had been too angry just now.

"Well, I've eaten," Nancy told a lie, but still handed over the breakfast she had bought. "I brought some for you too. If you haven't eaten it, eat it while it's hot."

Carl gave her a look, his eyes filled with guilt. Nancy turned her head away, pretending not to see, but feeling extremely sour inside.

May was still silent, but when Nancy returned to her room, she drifted in silently and handed her a piece of paper.

Nancy understood and naturally took it and stuffed it into her pocket.

Nancy quickly packed up some change of clothes and carried her handbag out. "Dad, there's something going on at the hospital. I'll be on duty there these days and won't be back."

"Then what about your meals? You eat in the hospital cafeteria every day. Are you used to it? !" Carl looked at his daughter worriedly, feeling sorry for her hard work.

"It's okay. At worst, order takeout," Nancy smiled at him. "It's you. Take care of yourself."

Nancy playfully pinched her nose, but felt a little sad at the sight of Carl's worried look.

She sent things to the hospital, Eric was still sleeping, and saw that it was still early before work time, Nancy curled into the small bed Ben had prepared for her and started looking at electronic products online.

Doris was relentless in his blackmail, demanding a mobile phone, a tablet, and even a violin, specifically asking for a brand of professional quality. Her salary is not low, but it's not enough to be so unrestrained and extravagant.

Seeing the sky-high price of a violin, Nancy decided to buy a tablet first.

Doris is just a seventeen-year-old girl and can't do whatever she wants, or she will become a bottomless pit sooner or later.

I don't know when she was asleep, Nancy was in a daze when she heard Eric's powerful voice, "What is the curtain pulling over there for?" !"

"Well, it's a place for Dr. Nancy to rest, and she's in there right now," Ben explained quickly. "Dr. Nancy stayed with you all night last night, came back in the morning with a change of clothes, and has just gone to bed for a short while."

Looking at the pale curtain of the bed sheets, Eric frowned.

He had calmed down, and the events of last night were still vivid in his mind. Nancy's composed way of dealing with things was somewhat to his taste.

With a lukewarm "um", Eric pulled up the blanket, "I'll sleep a little longer, nobody will disturb me..."
