CHAPTER 376: CHAPTER 376: NO ONE CAN REPLACE GODFERY SHAW

Nancy Allen didn’t take her anorexia to heart.

It wasn’t that she deliberately avoided eating; it was her body’s automatic response, and she had no control over it.

Anyway, as long as she got a drip and enough nutrient solution, she wouldn’t die.

However, when Julius Shaw appeared again, bringing a bewildered Sophie with him.

Nancy’s expression changed.

She didn’t speak, instead using her eyes to ask Julius Shaw: "What exactly are you planning?"

Julius Shaw, like a demon, said gently, "Nancy is sick, and I thought you’d want to see Sophie. It’s the National Day holiday now, a seven-day break, so I brought her to stay at the Imperial Garden for a few days. Are you happier now?"

Sophie, knowing nothing, ran quickly to Nancy’s side on her short legs, looking worried and asking, "Mom, what’s wrong? Why are you sick again?"

Sophie was so upset, she gently hugged Nancy’s neck, her small face clinging to Nancy’s cheek affectionately, saying: "Mom, get well soon."

Nancy let Sophie hug her, but her gaze fell on Julius Shaw, feeling like she could grind her teeth into pieces.

She silently said, "Don’t touch her."

Julius Shaw ignored Nancy’s gaze, instead bringing food and saying to her in front of Sophie, "Nancy, eat first. You’ll have a lot of time to talk to the child later."

Sophie obediently released Nancy and nodded eagerly, "Mom, eat first."

At this moment, Nancy felt a bit of hatred.

How could Julius Shaw involve such a pure and innocent child in this?

She believed she had never wronged Julius Shaw, so why was he treating her like this?

She opened her mouth and forced herself to eat the food her body rejected.

After eating a few bites without throwing up, Julius Shaw was very satisfied.

He didn’t care how despicable his means were, or what methods he used, as long as Nancy obediently ate and got better soon, that was all that mattered.

After Nancy finished eating, she looked at Sophie beside her and suppressed the sadness in her heart, saying, "Sophie, don’t worry, it’s just a minor illness. I’ll be better in a few days. Don’t tell grandfather and them."

Sophie obediently nodded, "Okay, then I’ll stay in the Imperial Garden for the next few days and take good care of Mom."

Nancy wanted to refuse and make Sophie leave quickly, but she didn’t know how to say it.

Under Sophie’s hopeful gaze, she could only nod and agree: "Alright, it’s quite late now. Sophie, go back to your room and rest."

Sophie leaned in, kissed Nancy’s pale face, and then obediently went out to her room.

Joyce had been waiting outside. Seeing Sophie come out safely, he sighed with relief and quickly led Sophie to the children’s room, calling a maid over to take care of her.

The second young master is in such a state now, besides the young madam, it’s dangerous for anyone else to get close. If the child gets hurt, the big young master would regret it for a lifetime when he sobers up.

Now Joyce still believed that the big young master would come to his senses one day.

He just thought this time the loss of control lasted a little longer than usual.

After Sophie left the room, Nancy immediately erupted.

"Julius Shaw, send her back. Don’t touch her, do you hear me? Send her back! Sophie is your brother’s child, you can’t touch her!"

Julius Shaw nodded obediently. Nancy eating today seemed to put him in a good mood, and he said with no trace of malice, "Alright, as long as Nancy eats well in the future, I’ll send her back."

Nancy held back the urge to vomit, her eyes slightly red as she looked at Julius Shaw, weakly saying, "To what extent are you going to push me?"

The smile on Julius Shaw’s face stiffened, no longer pretending to be obedient, he spoke with a morbid bloodlust, "If Nancy is well, I won’t push you."

Nancy closed her eyes in despair.

How could she be well?

Her heart was torn in two, how could she possibly be well?

The food she was forced to eat felt like a stone pressing on Nancy’s chest, making her extremely uncomfortable.

Yet Julius Shaw was in a good mood, after showering, he lay beside Nancy, hands behind his head, looking at the ceiling with some comfort.

He then softly said to Nancy beside him, "Nancy, see, this is actually quite good, nothing different from your previous life. I’ll be good to you, you can do whatever you want, and I have the same face as my brother."

Julius Shaw didn’t know if he was persuading himself or Nancy.

Nancy originally didn’t want to speak, but couldn’t help answering maliciously, "But you’re not Godfery Shaw."

The comfort on Julius Shaw’s face instantly tightened, his innate violence and frenzy were almost uncontrollable.

Yet Nancy wasn’t afraid at all, she coldly laughed and closed her eyes.

She knew saying that would displease Julius Shaw, yet she said it on purpose, maybe because she was too sad, unable to control the malice in her heart.

Julius Shaw, dangerous and bloodthirsty, was a personality born in despair and bloodshed, filled with malice for the world, but his tolerance for Nancy was surprisingly high, as if he poured all the goodness of the world onto her.

After Nancy upset him, he still forcibly suppressed the raging malice in his heart, reached out to hold Nancy, pulling her tightly into his embrace.

Nancy struggled, wanting to say more hurtful words.

Julius Shaw gently covered Nancy’s mouth with his hand, self-deceptively not letting her speak.

Nancy, powerless, fell into Julius Shaw’s grip.

She rejected Julius Shaw, yet felt familiar with his presence, so familiar it made her heartache. Already weak and drowsy, her heart hurt too much; she drifted into a deep sleep.

Julius Shaw thought Nancy was asleep, satisfied, he believed she would soon get better, Nancy just couldn’t accept reality for now. Once she got used to having him by her side, everything would be fine.

He and his brother were two different personalities, but there was one thing they had in common: they both loved Nancy desperately.

The same, it doesn’t matter, Julius Shaw thought.

Morning.

Nancy woke up, looking at the scene in the room, feeling a bit dazed.

Julius Shaw was building Legos with Sophie in the room, her face full of smiles.

For a moment, Nancy thought she saw Godfery Shaw.

However, the next moment she saw Julius Shaw’s eyes, and instantly became clear.

Julius Shaw’s gaze was too cold, with no warmth towards Sophie, as if he was performing a scene for Nancy to watch.

In an instant, Nancy broke out in a cold sweat, understanding he was impersonating Godfery Shaw as a form of silent threat.

Sophie saw Nancy awake, put down her Lego, and ran over to the bed.

The child smiled with curved eyes, saying, "Mom, are you awake? Mr. Shaw is right, you shouldn’t lay down all day, I think mom should get up and move a bit, exercising will make you better soon."

Faced with Sophie’s innocent smile, Nancy couldn’t say anything to refuse, so she forced herself to stay spirited and said, "Alright."

Sophie was instantly happy.

Julius Shaw was happy too, so happy he could barely hide his morbid provocation in his eyes.

He gently stepped forward, helped Nancy get dressed and washed up.

He was intentionally or unintentionally mimicking Godfery Shaw’s actions.

The more he did this, the more intense Nancy’s rejection felt. What was Julius Shaw doing? Trying to replace Godfery Shaw?

No, no one can replace Godfery Shaw.
