Chapter 503 Friends In the Same Boat
Nancy showed a disdainful expression and coldly looked at Cordell. "I don't need to report my
relationship with him to you, do I?"
Cordell looked defeated, his tone becoming somewhat urgent. "Nancy, don't be angry. I just think that
man doesn’t seem like a good person. He's a playboy. You should stay away from him to avoid getting
hurt."
"Heh. He may not look like a good person, but he's still better than a liar like you!"
Nancy grabbed Cordell's collar. There was hatred in her eyes. ‘I'm sparing your life only because I'm
magnanimous. It doesn't mean I've forgiven you. Don't push your luck."
"You can hate me, even kill me, but don't sabotage yourself by getting involved with a man like that.
You..."
Cordell didn’t finish his sentence. Keith, who had been eavesdropping outside the door, couldn't stand
it any longer and barged in again.
"What did you just say? Who's sabotaging? Who's getting involved? What kind of man am I? Explain
yourself!"
"How did you get in again?"
Nancy looked at the furious Keith, feeling her head throbbing. Wasn't he tired of eavesdropping?
"I wouldn't have known how much this despicable man was slandering me if I hadn't come in. I didn't
provoke him, so why am I not a good person?

Why am I a playboy..."
Keith's voice weakened when refuting the term "playboy," and he added in a softer tone, "I just... I just
like making friends with many beautiful girls."
Nancy was wordless.
Cordell ignored Keith and turned to Nancy, said gently, * Nancy, your condition requires a week of
hospitalization to fully recover. I'll go handle the admission procedures for you now."
After completing the admission procedures, Nancy was placed in the most luxurious single room in the
hospital.
Her face was no longer as swollen, but it was still as red as a cherry, making her look quite frightening.
Nancy looked in the mirror, almost crying. "It's over. I think I'm going to be disfigured. What if it can't be
cured?’
Keith was playing a game nonchalantly nearby, not even bothering to lift his eyelids. He casually threw
out a comment, "What's there to worry about? I'm not obsessed with looks. You look quite cute all red
like that!"
"Keith, you're at it again. I'm in this state, can't you be serious for once? I feel like you're just
heartless..."
Keith put down his phone, stared at her for a moment, and said seriously, "I'm not joking. If you really
end up disfigured, I'll marry you."
"Heh, pity? I don't need it!"
Nancy finally heard a clear statement from Keith, but this statement made her even more upset.
It turned out that this man didn't misunderstand her feelings; he just deliberately didn't want to expose
them.
Now that he had exposed them. It was out of pity or compensation, not affection.
To the proud her, this was more like an insult!
"Get out. I don't want to see you."
Nancy's face was cold. She pointed towards the door and bluntly ordered the man to leave.
Keith looked innocent. "What's wrong, my lady? Why are you suddenly so angry? If you don't want to
marry me, I won't force it. No need to cut ties with me, right?"
"You really know how to annoy me. I don't want to talk to you anymore. Leave!"
"Alright, alright. Don't be angry, my lady. I'll take my leave.’
After saying that, Keith left the ward decisively.
There was a sudden silence in the room.
Nancy's eyes reddened with anger due to the man's nonchalant attitude, and she quietly cried into her
pillow.
She really hated this feeling. No matter how deep or shallow their conversations were, he could always
remain detached and unaffected, while she would lose her composure in a matter of minutes, like a
crazy, unreasonable person!
Upon hearing about Nancy's allergy and hospitalization, Shirley hurried over.

Seeing Keith playing games in the corridor outside the ward, she was a bit puzzled.
"Keith, how is Nancy? Why aren't you going in?"
"There's no immediate danger..."
A man who didn't even have the courage to admit his feelings was not a responsible man. Such a man
was not for Nancy, who wanted a man to love her with all his heart and soul, passionately and frankly.
Shirley pushed open the door of the ward, just in time to bump into Nancy hiding behind the door and
eavesdropping.
"Ah, you're here. I... I was just about to go out!"
Nancy's face turned even redder with embarrassment on her already flushed cheeks.
"Stop eavesdropping. He's already gone. If you want to chase after him now, you can still catch up.’
"I'm not going to chase him!’
Nancy said, "I hope I never see him again, so I don't have to waste my emotions on him." Anyone
could see that she didn't mean it.
Shirley looked at the woman and couldn't help but think of herself. She sighed from seeing the tough
road ahead. "Alas, we're both ostrich girls.
Truly friends in the same boat."
At this moment, Cordell pushed the door and entered.
As soon as he saw Shirley, his expression was a mix of shock and complexity, as if he had seen a
ghost. "Ms. Wilson, long time no see."
