Chapter 3960
Nancy slept restlessly in the middle of the night.
Large beads of sweat dripped down his face as he muttered
helplessly, “Don’t… Mom… don’t… don’t come near me… Mom, don’t die, please… don’t… don’t die…”
Mick leaned in to check on Nancy, but as soon as he reached
out to touch her face, she grabbed his hand tightly.
She held on so tightly that it made his wrist ache.
But what made him even more uneasy was the look of despair
on her face, even in her sleep.
“It’s okay, it’s all over now. No one will hurt you again!” Mick
comforted Nancy softly as she slept.
But his words seemed to have no effect. She tossed and
turned as if she were desperately trying to escape from
something.
Suddenly, she opened her eyes wide and grabbed Mick as if he were the last piece of driftwood in a drowning person’s grasp, pressing his body tightly against hers.

Her rapid breathing sounded in his ear, and although he could have pushed her away, he didn’t. Instead, he hugged her back.
“Did you have a nightmare?” Mick asked softly.
“No! That day will never come,” Mick said, looking down at Nancy’s tear-streaked face. He gently wiped away her tears with his hand and continued, “I won’t let you get hurt for
nothing. This time, Clarissa won’t get away!”
“Really?” she asked, her eyes misty with tears.
“I never lie,” Mick replied. “Now, don’t be afraid anymore. Go back to sleep, I’ll be here with you.”
Nancy hesitated for a moment and said, “Can you sleep with me? I mean, just lie down on the bed with me… I didn’t mean anything else, please don’t mind.”
His eyes suddenly became deep and mysterious.
Realizing her words might have been misunderstood, she quickly added, “I mean, just sleeping together on the bed… Please don’t take it the wrong way.”
After speaking, she quickly let go of his hand, lay back on the bed, and covered her head with the blanket, seeming
embarrassed to face him.
