Chapter 5 A Dumb Husband
Chapter 5 A Dumb Husband
"Achoo!"
Nancy was wearing a light blue pajama and being wrapped in a blanket. The servant immediately
passed the tissue to her when she saw Nancy sneezed.
There was a faint smell of body wash in the air, mixed with the flavor of rain, which seemed particularly
fascinating. Her dark long hair went straight to her waist, and was carefully made by the servant beside
her.
Covering her forehead, Nancy sneezed again. She rubbed her nose and asked, "How much is it?"
With an electronic thermometer in her hand, Ivy placed the thermometer on her daughter's forehead. A
few seconds later, the number on the electronic thermometer was determined at 38℃.
It made her heart ache. She said:" Lie down, silly girl. You have a fever." Then she said to the maid,
"Prepare the ginger soup for Nancy."
"Yes." The servants obeyed and left.
"I've told you not to let Nancy be so dangerous to hail a car alone. What if Mond is really cold and
heartless? If he really ignored Nancy, I'm afraid that she has been dead already." Nate looked at his
daughter and reproached.
Ivy changed the handkerchief on the forehead of Nancy and touched her forehead. Seeing that her
fever was still not gone, she couldn't help but feel guilty. "Isn't it? But I didn't know it would rain at that
time. If I had known it, I would never let Nancy go. "
"Dad, mom, forget it. It has already happened. No matter what you say, it's no use." When Nancy saw
that Ivy and Nate were about to have a fight, she immediately explained.
Seeing that her daughter stopped her quarreling with Nate, Ivy turned to look at her daughter. She
handed the medicine to her and said, "My dear, you should take the medicine first, and then I'll ask the
servant to fetch some honey."
Nancy picked up the medicine and smelled it. She frowned and said, "Mom, why is it so bitter? I don't
want to drink it when I smell it."
"My good girl, you should know that the bitter taste of the medicine is good for your health. Only in this
way can you recover quickly." Ivy knew that her daughter was afraid of nothing, but she was afraid of
taking medicine. Nancy had been coaxed and cheated to take medicine since her childhood.
Nancy rolled her eyes and when she saw the bowl of black medicine in front of her, she felt a little
scared, so she immediately changed the topic. "Mother, I heard that Mond is dumb, right?"
"Yes, of course."
When hearing her mother's affirmative answer, Nancy couldn't help but be even more confused. "If he
was really sitting in the car last time, he would definitely speak."
"What? Do you mean that Mond isn't a dumb man? "After hearing this, Ivy was also surprised, but Nate
slightly nodded his head.
"It's normal. Everyone has his own way to live in a rich family. Why should we expose it? But Mond is
such a powerful man, he could pretend that he didn't have a secret for so many years. He is so
dangerous!" After saying that, Nate's eyes flashed with excitement, but then he remembered Mond's
crippled legs, it made him shake his head.
"If Mond wasn't dumb, then maybe he could walk."
"It's impossible. This is related to your marriage. We have specially investigated it. It must be true."
When Nate saw this, his tone was firm and he dispelled Nancy's misgivings.
Nancy admired her acting skill and courage at that time. She didn't know if she had really intimidated
Mond, but Mond indeed doubted her at that time. Fortunately, she was wise. Otherwise, the flaws
would have been detected by Mond.
'But Mond didn't care about his crippled legs and the fact that he was dumb. Since he being dumb was
false, he could just mention it casually! But he could tell that his legs were really crippled. Should I say
that he was generous or that he was a scheming man?'
Suddenly, it seemed that Ivy thought of something, she put down the medicine and said, "Have you told
Mond to hold the wedding in a low-key way? It's better that few people know that Nancy married Mond.
Or we can just tell the Lu Family to keep the marriage a secret. "
Nate shook his head, poured a cup of tea, took a sip, and sighed, "I've already told them about the
wedding. Although they can keep a low profile, but they don't want to let Nancy feel wronged. It's not
appropriate for us to make it clear, and then the person who should come will have to attend."
Hearing this, Ivy frowned and criticized Nate, "At the beginning, I chose Mond because he was a
cripple, he couldn't do anything to Nancy. When both sides achieve their goals, Nancy is only eighteen
years old. After a few years, she will find her love, and then get divorced with Mond. Then, Nancy can
still marry her love."
"Yes!" Nate echoed.
"But if the Lu Family let everyone know our daughter will marry Mond, how can our daughter marry her
love in the future? Do you agree with me?" Ivy persisted.
Seated on the sofa and watching them talking, Nancy didn't know why, but felt a little cold. She
wrapped herself tightly in the quilt, and then picked up the rose next to her and played with it.
"You are right. We all know that it's a family marriage, but you should also know that it's not appropriate
to tell others about it. The guests will be some relatives of the Lu Family. You know that they will find
out sooner or later. It's better to let them know it like this." Nate put down his tea cup and handed it to
the servant. He lit a cigarette and said after taking a long smoke.
"Okay, that's it. Our daughter should stay single in the future." After saying that, Ivy turned her head
away and ignored Nate. She turned to look at the medicine beside Nancy and asked with concern,
"Nancy, why haven't you taken it yet? It's getting cold. Drink it quickly."
When Nancy noticed that her mother turned her gaze to her, she turned around and looked at the bowl
of medicine. She stopped playing with the rose and said with a fake smile, "Mother, look at the
medicine. It's cold. I have a fever now, so I can't drink it. How about asking the servant to get me
another bowl of medicine?"
Nancy really didn't want to take the black medicine. She was just stalling.
"Well, then take good care of yourself. I will ask someone to send the medicine to you later. You must
drink it!" Ivy nodded and walked out with the medicine.
After watching Ivy leave, Nancy looked at the rising sun out of the window and thought of a tall and
straight figure. She shook her head and forced herself not to think about Mond. It was just a family
marriage.
