She told him the truth as she had nothing to hide. Furthermore, Jory was Nancy's husband and she had faith in his character. She was sure that he was able to see things clearly in the end. However, she didn't expect that she was nothing to him when compared to Dustin.
“Jory, don't be rash. The matter has yet to be investigated...” Nancy interjected as she caught up from behind, panting.
“Nancy? Why are you here?” Joan asked curiously.
What's going on? When she saw what was unfolding before her, she began to feel nervous.
Although she wasn't close to Jory, she had heard Nancy mention that Jory would only personally deal with a problem if it was serious. However, she couldn't think of any reason for him to come looking for her.
“It's as clear as day! Nancy, you don't have to protect her anymore. I know she is your best friend, but Dustin is my best friend too!” Jory reminded.
With a helpless expression, Nancy looked at Jory and then at Joan.
“Nancy, what's going on?” Joan walked up to her and asked.
Her question caused Nancy to be dumbfounded. Does she not know what happened to Dustin?
“Joan, don't you know? Something happened to Dustin,” Nancy replied while looking at her warily.
How can that be? When I saw him just now, he was just doing fine. What can happen to him in such a short time?
“Are you kidding me?” Joan laughed.
“Joan, it's not a joke. Dustin is lying in the hospital as we speak,” Nancy asserted.
Joan turned around and looked at Delilah, who nodded her head in silence.
At that moment, Joan hurried to the hospital hysterically.
Dustin, how can this be?lt's a lie. All of them must be lying. Joan sobbed as she ran.
