Mr. Sallow's Sinful Wife by Maisie Chasey

Chapter 213 Jealous (2)

As Nancy approached, she found Nicholas lying beneath a tree with his eyes closed. “What’s wrong? Let me take a look,” she asked, concerned.

Nicholas didn’t respond. Sensing his discomfort, Nancy pressed her lips together and chose to stay quiet.

“But I’m here now.”

“It’s different now. You only came because you were already done treating Christian.”

“But I bandaged your wound first, and he was hurt worse than you, and his wound wasn’t bandaged. It was a critical moment just now. I couldn’t get distracted. I had to focus,” said Nancy.

Nicholas looked away and grunted. “In the end, you think he’s more important. He’s number one, I’m number two.”
