Chapter 969: Chapter 948: The Affectionate and Kind Nana Jensen!

In the room, Nana Jensen kept her head down.

After a while, Bella Gordon couldn’t bear to look anymore and stretched out her hand to rub Nana’s head, saying, "Nora, what happened today was an accident, and there’s a saying that those who survive a great disaster are destined for good fortune afterward, so don’t take it to heart!"

Good fortune?

She had enjoyed the exclusive love and affection from her parents for the first half of her life; could there still be good fortune left for her?

"You’re still okay, though. This kind of thing—I’ve experienced it more than once. I encountered it once when I was five and again when I was six. When I was five, you weren’t even born yet. The scene was much more terrifying than what you faced today!"

"Really? There’s something more terrifying than today?"

Upon hearing this, Nana’s head suddenly jerked up. She had been prepared to die today; that kind of despair is understood only by those who have experienced it. So, Roy Thompson was the one who pulled her back from the brink of death.

"Yeah, I was five years old at the time, and Brother Roy was six. We were just kids who didn’t understand things and didn’t know what danger was, so we followed the kidnapper to help Aunt Cathy. We sent a signal for help, then went into the cave to stop Aunt Cathy from being bullied. We saw with our own eyes that bad person beat Aunt Cathy beyond recognition. We couldn’t stop him, and he even used me and Brother Roy to threaten Aunt Cathy. He lifted me over his head in front of everyone, intending to smash me to death. In order to save me, Brother Roy said some provocative words, and then the kidnapper tried to strangle him. His hand was already around Brother Roy’s neck. I saw with my own eyes that Brother Roy’s breathing stopped, his face turned pale..."

Ah!

Nana’s eyes widened in fear as Bella Gordon vividly described the scene, and her mind instinctively conjured up pictures of the words spoken, "What happened after that?!"

"After that, I was so scared that I fainted on the spot. When I woke up, I was in Daddy’s arms!" Bella patted her shoulder and sighed. That event had left a deep impression on her life. "The memories of when I was five aren’t very clear anymore, but that particular event, every face, every expression, is etched in my mind, deeply rooted in my heart!"

Therefore, she had chosen to throw herself at the kidnapper at the most critical moment; because she was afraid, afraid of losing her loved ones, her partner. She had to make her own efforts. She had been too young back then, but now she had grown up!

"So, Nora, perhaps everyone has experiences in life that scare them, but they are still a part of us. Because they happened, we learn to cherish life all the more. It’s for this reason that Brother Roy and I especially understand the value of treasuring what we have. So, the bad things in the world, if you think about them in a positive light, they become good things!"

Nana looked up at Bella Gordon, stunned. This was the first time she had heard Bella Gordon speak so earnestly. In her memory, Bella had always been a humorous and witty older sister, never serious in conversation, fierce, and even a bit ruffian-like. She sometimes couldn’t understand why Brother Thompson would like a sister like Bianca!

Don’t they say that men like women who are gentle and understanding like her mother? But Sister Bianca is clearly not like that. She was a Little Princess, a little tyrant with a touch of ruffian. Yet, Brother Thompson was particularly fond of Sister Bianca and listened to everything she said!

She had not understood before, but now it seemed she understood a little. When they had gone through life and death, she was still in her mother’s belly; when they supported each other through hardship, she was still lying in her mother’s arms. They started too early, so early that by the time she was born, their feelings for each other were already deep in their marrow!

Her mind once again flashed back to when Bianca had pushed the kidnapper to the ground and Brother Thompson’s devastated look. In his eyes, she was not even worth a glance. The relief and the breath he took when he knew Bianca was fine even a sixteen-year-old who didn’t understand the true meaning of love could tell, that was true love!

So, she could only... secretly like him.

Even if this liking tormented her heart, she could only harbor it in secret!

"Sister Bianca, I’m sorry!"

It wasn’t the first time she had apologized, but this time, it was with the deepest sincerity and a sense of self-reproach that a scalding tear unknowingly slid down Nana Jensen’s cheek. "If it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t have taken such a big risk today. I can’t imagine, if something had happened to you, how I could ever atone for it!"

If Sister Bianca had gotten into trouble today, Brother Thompson would have definitely blamed everything on her. Not to say she would be treated like a sister anymore—it would be more likely he would think of her as a harbinger of disaster.

"Silly girl, what are you apologizing for? You’re a victim too!"

Bella Gordon reached out, took a tissue, and gently wiped her tears. "You are our little sister, and it’s our duty to rescue you. Even if it were someone else taken hostage today, Brother Roy and I would have still come to the rescue. So, Nora, promise me you won’t blame yourself, okay?"

How could this sudden tragedy be anyone’s fault?

"Thank you, Sister Bianca!" Nana Jensen’s heart softened, and she threw herself into Bella Gordon’s embrace unexpectedly. "Sister Bianca, you and Brother Roy will definitely be happy!"

Because she would pray to the heavens for their happiness, she would stand with them and defend their love!

It was much later that Nana Jensen realized that the oath she had silently taken would one day be fulfilled. She truly made great efforts to protect the love of the ones she liked, Brother Thompson and Sister Bianca, but that’ll be a story for another time!

"Of course, when our Nora grows up a bit more, you too will meet your own Prince Charming, who loves you and whom you love!" Bella Gordon drew the young girl into her embrace and casually asked, "Are there any boys you like at school or in your class?"

Uh?

How could she answer that?

She did like a boy, but he was neither from her class nor her school.

But that wasn’t something easy to say!

After agonizing over it, Nana Jensen gave a vague answer: "I guess so!"

"Really?"

Bella Gordon’s eyes suddenly lit up upon hearing this. "Then do you like him? If you do, you can experience a youthful romance. That is something Brother Roy and I regret missing out on. You must not let it slip by!"

Nana Jensen nodded, but she knew in her heart that the chances were nearly zero.

After all, the person she liked did not like her back, and those who did like her, she had never taken seriously!
