CHAPTER 495

"Err, Nancy. Why… did you come?"

Joanna panicked a bit. She wanted to cover her leg injury.

"Stop covering that. You make me so worried!"

Nancy hugged Joanna and started crying violently. "I know what silly things you did. How silly you are! You jumped into the river for an unworthy man. Have you ever thought about your two kids, Mr. Pierce and even me? If anything happens to you, I won't be able to answer for it even if I pay a heavy price!"

"I'm sorry, Nancy. I was impulsive, so I didn't think so far. Don't worry. I'm all right. It's nothing serious. It'll cure in two days. It's just a minor affair!"

Joanna patted her chest in a carefree manner.

"That's no minor affair! That's the river around the city, and it's so high. There are jagged rocks at the bottom, and if you aren't careful, you could be smashed into mush. You would have regretted it very much then!"
