Mr. Sallow's Sinful Wife by Maisie Chasey

Chapter 214 Never Letting You Go

As Nicholas leaned in for a kiss, Nancy didn’t pull away this time. Instead, she embraced him. reciprocating his affection. Those around them discreetly averted their eyes. Although she usually felt self-conscious in such situations, she disregarded the onlookers. She simply yearned to share her love with him, reveling in the warmth of his embrace. Her entire being seemed to dissolve in his arms, her strength fleeting in the intensity of the moment.

Yet, as she nestled closer, something sticky caught her attention, jolting her back to reality. With sudden concern, she gently pushed him away, her eyes reflecting worry. “You’re still injured. We must go to the hospital to remove the bullet.”

“No, I don’t want this moment to end so soon,” Nicholas replied, wincing from the pain in his wound. but savoring the moment. “I didn’t want it to slip away, and now that you’re kissing me willingly, I’m not letting this opportunity go.” He touched his forehead to hers and exhaled.

Nancy blushed, finally feeling a hint of embarrassment. “You still need medical attention.”

“Will I get another kiss after I get treated?”

“Yes.” Lowering her head, she leaned in and kissed him again, her courage growing. “And you might get something even better.”

Passion flared in his eyes. He held his arm and smiled bitterly. “I hope I can recover soon.”

Once they arrived at the hospital, Nicholas was promptly taken to the operating theater. Nancy anxiously waited outside. She knew it was a minor surgery, and the bullet hadn’t struck any vital organs. However, all surgeries carried inherent risks, and she couldn’t help but feel worried.

Meanwhile, Christian’s situation was more critical than Nicholas’. Christian’s surgery required meticulous attention due to the risk of infection, which could complicate his recovery. Since their surgeries were similar, the operating theaters were situated in close proximity.

When the sign above Nicholas’ operating theater dimmed, Nancy hurried forward, her voice trembling with anxiety. “How’s the surgery, Mr. Zimmer?”

“It went well. Just a small surgery, so there’s nothing to worry about.”

“Thank you, Mr. Zimmer.”
