Spoiled by the President novel Chapter 713

Nell assessed the situation and thought that she was safe, for now. However, she had no idea what was happening on Nancy’s side.

She was a little worried that something might have happened to Nancy.

The woman stopped in her tracks and stared at her for a moment.

She saw the desperation in Nell’s face, so she said, “All right, then we’ll go to Fred’s place tomorrow to take a look. I’ll bring the girl over if it’s convenient.”

Nell immediately added, “Why don’t we go with them?”

The smile on the woman’s face dropped slightly. With a halfhearted smile, she said, “Lady, what are you worrying about? We saved you and your friend, and we’re not hurting you. It’s just two nights. Are you scared that we’re gonna eat your friend?”

The drastic shift in her attitude startled Nell.

She did not know what had ticked her off.

Nevertheless, she was living in her house right now, so she could not come off too strong. In fact, it was in her best interest if she said as little as possible. She had to give up her request since the woman refused to compromise with her.

The woman saw her disappointment and tried to comfort her.

“Don’t be sad. It’s just that the village Fred is living in prohibits outsiders from entering. Your friend is lucky that they were willing to save her. If it’s any other time, they would’ve not saved outsiders.”

Nell frowned and thought unwittingly how strange her words sounded.

The woman did not give her any time to dwell on that though, for she walked outside right after that.

She was not out for long and returned immediately once she had given her orders.

“I’ve already talked to them about it. Don’t you worry. Someone will go over tomorrow and see if that person is your friend. Oh yeah, what’s your name? I’ll let them know in a moment. It’s hard for either of you to recognize each other without any photos or something like that.”

Nell pursed her lips. To her own surprise, she did not tell the woman her real name.

Instead, she told her a nickname only Nancy would recognize.

“My name is Little Seven.”

The woman paused in her movements. Then, she laughed. “It’s a nickname, isn’t it? Okay, that works. I’ll let them know later. If she really is your friend, I’ll send someone to take her here.”

With that, she left.

Nell remained in her seat and waited for her return after she filled the people outside in on her name.

The woman said to her, “It’s late. You can rest up in that room you were in just now. Anything you want to discuss can wait until the next morning.”

Nell nodded. Putting a hand against the wall, she found her way back to the room without her assistance.

The sky had darkened. Nell laid on the bed and wiggled around for a while, but she just could not fall asleep.

She could hear the hissing noises the bugs were making outside her room very clearly. This was a sound one could only hear if they were staying in a village.

Nell caught the humid scent wafting from the bed she was laying on, and a sense of insecurity emerged in her heart. She had no idea where that feeling came from.

Nevertheless, there was no use for her to overthink in the middle of the night.

She wondered how Nancy was doing right now and if she was injured. Hopefully, she did not encounter those men.

With that thought, she closed her eyes. Her body had experienced too great a shock during the day, so she could not help but fall asleep later that night, even though she did not want to do so. She was thinking that she should keep herself awake to look out for herself.

It was already the next morning when she woke up again.

Nell blinked her eyes open and found herself staring straight into the dirty faces of a group of kids who were standing right beside her bed.

She startled and jumped up from the bed almost without meaning to.

“You…”

The kids giggled.

This group of children had probably come from the village. They were not scared to see her awake and continued to giggle as they stared at her.

Under their watchful eyes, Nell saw only innocence in their eyes and realized that they did not harbor any ill intention against her. They were most likely just curious about her. She eventually lowered her guard.
