Year Five The Perfect Goodbye Plan novel Chapter 136

After all the chaos just now, Nannie had finally calmed down.

Standing at Kent’s side, she lowered her head, her delicate face clouded with hurt. “Kent, I didn’t mean it. It’s just… when I saw her, I couldn’t help it. I got angry, you know how I am. Sometimes I just can’t control myself.”

She blamed it all on her condition.

But Kent saw right through her little act. His voice was low and firm, leaving no room for argument. “I’ll book your ticket. Pack your things. You’re flying out tomorrow for treatment.”

Nannie’s face froze.

She stared at Kent, wide-eyed, then suddenly let out a brittle laugh.

“So this is it, Kent? You’re dumping me?” Tears welled up, spilling down her cheeks as she looked utterly pitiful. “All your promises mean nothing now, is that it? Maybe I’d be better off dead!”

“Nannie!”

Kent’s expression darkened. His jaw clenched and a flash of anger flickered in his sharp eyes. He pressed his lips together, clearly struggling to keep his temper in check. The whole atmosphere grew tense.

He liked to think he’d done all he could for Nannie.

He’d tolerated so much from her over the years.

But today, she’d completely lost it—right in front of Silvia.

He couldn’t get that image out of his head: Silvia’s face pale with fear. The more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became.

“I warned you. Stay away from my wife.”

He tossed out the words and turned to leave. But before he could take two steps, Nannie suddenly dropped to the ground behind him.

Horns blared. Tires screeched.

Kent hadn’t gone far. He turned just in time to see a car slam on its brakes, stopping barely an inch from Nannie.

The furious driver leapt out, glaring daggers at her, fists clenched as if he was ready to punch her right then and there.

He spat out a string of curses. “If you want to die, find a river and jump in! Don’t drag the rest of us down with you! If I hadn’t slammed on the brakes, you’d be a corpse right now!”

Nannie was left humiliated, but she only glanced in Kent’s direction, twisting her lips into a strange smile.

For the first time, she seemed calm, her gaze at Kent now tinged with a hint of amusement, maybe even a touch of defiance.

Her voice was almost lazy. “Well, Kent? Do you want to watch me die right in front of you?”
