The Road to Rebirth Her Fresh Start and His Late Sorrow novel Chapter 44

Nancy furrowed her brow slightly, deciding to check if the guy was still breathing. If he were alive, she'd have to kick him out.

With that thought, Nancy threw off the covers and got out of bed, not even reaching the hallway before her scalp tingled with alarm.

The man who should have been lying in the hallway was gone! Only the ropes that had bound him remained on the floor.

Nancy's heart raced, not waiting to calm down. A sudden heat enveloped her from behind.

Realizing something was off, Nancy felt a strong arm wrap around her waist, pulling her back against a warm chest.

Nancy whirled around, her clear eyes crashing into deep ones. Locking eyes, Nancy stared at Judson, who had appeared behind her, especially noticing the masculine scent mixed with a faint smell of blood coming from him.

Nancy frowned. "Let go!"

Judson looked at her with a hint of confusion and hurt on his handsome face. "Babe, you're so fierce. I'm starving. Can we eat something?"

Nancy was baffled. "Excuse me? Who's your babe?"

She started to wonder if she had actually rescued a madman.

When she was pondering, Judson squinted his eyes and firmly asked, "If you're not my babe, who are you? Why are you here?"

Nancy said, "This is my place. Where else should I be? But you, who are you, and why were people chasing you here?"

Nancy tried to pull away from Judson, but his grip was unmovable.

Frustrated and annoyed, she was about to hit him with a vase when Judson started muttering to himself, trying to remember, "Who am I?"

Nancy couldn't help but laugh in frustration, about to speak when suddenly, Judson winced in pain, his face turning pale, hands clutching his head, struggling to stand. "I... I'm Judson. Why am I here? It hurts so much!"
