After Nancy returned home, she locked the door. Thinking of what the police said, she felt a little scared.

As soon as she got home, Zhou Anan came out holding her doll. Barefoot, she walked quickly to Nancy, took Nancy's hand, and said in a trembling voice, "Mom, Anan is still scared."

Nancy felt very distressed when she saw Zhou Anan's eyes were swollen from crying. She squatted in front of Zhou Anan, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and carried Zhou Anan back to the room.

She slept on her side next to Zhou Anan, gently patting her back and humming a lullaby, trying to calm her daughter's heart.

But what happened tonight was a big blow to Zhou Anan. Every time Nancy thought Zhou Anan was about to fall asleep, she would just move her body, and Zhou Anan would immediately grab her hand tightly.

Zhou Anan looked at Nancy with red eyes and said, "Mom, Anan thought you were leaving."

Nancy's heart ached, and she quickly hugged Zhou An'an: "Mom won't leave, Mom will always be with An'an."

Zhou Anan hummed softly and buried her head in Nancy's arms.

After a while, Nancy heard Zhou Anan's steady breathing.

Her heart calmed down, and after closing her eyes, the look in the man's eyes before he was taken away emerged in her mind. She just couldn't fall asleep.

Nancy gently stroked Zhou Anan's swollen eyes. If the property management had not come just now, if the police had not arrived at the scene, if the man with his size had rushed in, she might not have been able to beat him.

Thinking about the consequences of being beaten, she felt a surge of fear.

A night passed, Nancy couldn't fall asleep, and Zhou Anan also slept uneasily.

During the dream, Zhou Anan had a nightmare. Her little face was wrinkled, her hands were scratching around, her feet were restless, and she was talking in her sleep in a way that Nancy couldn't understand.

The alarm clock that was supposed to ring in the morning didn't ring, so Nancy canceled the alarm clock and asked for leave from the kindergarten.

She made an appointment with a craftsman to repair the door today. The several dents on the door were made by the man last night.

Boom boom boom!

Nancy sat in the living room, listening to the sounds of renovations, and couldn't help feeling a little irritated.

The master stuck his head out of the door and shouted to Nancy, "Boss, the door has been replaced."

Nancy nodded, took out her phone and scanned the money for the master.

Looking at the payment information that popped up, Nancy felt a little complicated.

She didn't earn much during this period, and the money she earned was barely enough to make ends meet as she took care of Zhou Anan to and from school every day.

But Zhou Anan will be on winter vacation in a few days, and she can take that opportunity to make some extra money.

She stood at the door, watching the master lift up the replaced door, and Zhou Anan's words from last night echoed in her mind.

"Mom, where's Dad?"

Zhou Jinfan......

Nancy frowned and didn't want to bother with the relationship between the two anymore.

Her top priority was to strengthen her abilities and take Zhou Anan to a safer environment, so that perhaps something like what happened last night would not happen again.

Ding!

Just as Nancy was about to close the door, the elevator door opened and the driver walked in carrying the door.

The man who came out was stunned when he saw the door being carried by the master. After walking out of the elevator and seeing the door about to close, he ran.

"and many more!"

A pair of hands suddenly appeared in the crack of the door. Nancy was so scared that she let go of her hands. She looked at the person in a daze, and her heart beat suddenly accelerated.

Zhou Jinfan ignored the pain in his hand from being pinched by the door. He held the door tightly and looked at Nancy inside: "Nancy, I... I'm back."

Nancy quickly composed herself, glanced at him coldly, and turned around.

Zhou Jinfan is back. He came back when the matter was over.

She had nothing to say.

She had clearly said when she left at the beginning that she would go back to Haicheng to be with An An.

But Zhou Jinfan hasn't come back for such a long time.

During this period, Zhou Jinfan didn't even have any information, but he was able to contact Zhou Jinfan through Zhou Junjie, and there was also that photo...

For a moment, Nancy's mind was very confused.

When she was about to walk back to the study, the man hugged her from behind and said in a low voice: "Nancy, can you forgive me? I can explain it to you. I..."

Before Zhou Jinfan could finish his words, Nancy interrupted him coldly: "Let me go."

Zhou Jinfan let go of her and walked in front of her. When he saw her cold face, his heart seemed to be stabbed: "Nancy... I..."

Nancy didn't want to listen to him, so she walked past him and went back to the study, then locked the door.

"Nancy, come out and we can have a good chat."

Zhou Jinfan stood outside the study, raising his hand to knock on the door and then lowering it.

As he lowered his head and sighed, he inadvertently glanced at the door that was not yet closed.

He seemed to see a figure, but when he walked out, he disappeared.

After closing the door, Zhou Jinfan wanted to beg Nancy to come out again, but he didn't do so. Instead, he tiptoed to the bedroom where Zhou Anan was.

Zhou Anan was sleeping soundly on the bed. Zhou Jinfan sat down beside the bed, looking at Zhou Anan's face and missing her very much.

But when he brushed away the hair on Zhou Anan's face, he found that his daughter's eyes were swollen.

what happened?

The scene he just saw in the elevator flashed through his mind.

Nancy wouldn't replace the door for no reason, and even if An An was a crybaby, she wouldn't cry her eyes out like this.

Something must have happened before he returned to Haicheng.

With a cold face, he took out his cell phone and sent a text message before looking at Zhou Anan again.

He stroked Zhou Anan's chubby face, kissed her forehead lovingly, and whispered, "Anan, Daddy is back."

Zhou Jinfan missed his daughter so much that he stared at her by the bed for a long time.

He waited until his cell phone rang before he got up and walked out of the room.

Just as he answered the phone and stepped out of the bedroom, Zhou Anan's soft voice suddenly came from behind him: "Dad?"

Zhou Anan sat up, rubbed his eyes uncertainly at the figure in front of him, and after confirming it, he shouted in surprise: "Dad! Dad!"

She was about to get out of bed in a hurry. Seeing this, Zhou Jinfan decisively hung up the phone and quickly hugged Zhou Anan who was running towards him barefoot.

Zhou Anan pouted immediately, and she choked up and said, "Dad, why did you just come back? Anan and Mom were scared to death last night!"

As she spoke, Zhou Anan started crying.

When Zhou An'an said this, Zhou Jinfan's heart skipped a beat. He quickly coaxed Zhou An'an and said, "Don't cry, don't cry. Daddy is back. Don't be afraid, An'an."

Zhou Anan grabbed Zhou Jinfan's collar with her little hands and buried her little face in his chest and cried for a long time.

After crying until she had no more tears, she looked at Zhou Jinfan with sobs: "Dad, some bad guys tried to bully Mom and An An last night."
