Reborn on Wedding Night: Flirting the Cold Bigshot into Blushes-Chapter 458: Keeping Her Company Through the New Year’s Eve

Chapter 458: Chapter 458: Keeping Her Company Through the New Year’s Eve

Some illnesses, from the day they begin, are destined to torment.

Watching Nancy like this, Godfery Shaw is sleepless. If he could exchange thirty years of his life for Nancy’s health, he would do so without hesitation.

Unfortunately, there is no if.

By New Year’s Eve, Nancy is lying weakly in bed.

Under the side effects of chemotherapy, she doesn’t want to talk or move.

Godfery Shaw lies beside her, holding her in his arms.

Nancy initially wanted to hold on and not worry everyone, but Godfery Shaw’s embrace is so warm, so warm that Nancy feels aggrieved. She buries herself in Godfery’s arms and says, "Godfery, I feel awful."

When no one cares, Nancy would swallow the blood in her mouth resolutely, not letting anyone discover her weakness.

When there’s care, she inexplicably feels aggrieved.

Godfery holds her tighter: "I know, I’ll be with you, everyone will be with you."

When Nancy feels a bit better, it’s almost nightfall, and Godfery supports her downstairs.

Nancy then sees an entirely different Imperial Garden.

Everything in the Imperial Garden is set up, red and joyous everywhere she looks.

Nancy’s appearance is like a pebble falling into a calm lake.

The silent Imperial Garden suddenly ripples and becomes lively.

Sophie smiles sweetly and calls, "Mom, come and see how we’ve decorated!"

The whole Imperial Garden is adorned with festive decorations — red lanterns, red stickers, red hangings, even the curtains are red.

Godfery leads Nancy downstairs.

On the door is a Fu character pasted upside down.

A couplet is posted on either side.

The first line reads, Spring arrives on earth, illness and disaster vanish.

The second line reads, Sun arrives on earth, blessings and longevity last.

The couplets written by Robert Reed carry blessings for Nancy.

Outside the villa, Nancy’s vegetable garden has several red flowers blooming, a red carpet laid on the path, a group of red koi swimming in the fish pond, and even red ribbons are hung on the orchard trees.

It’s truly festive.

This is the first time in her life, across two lifetimes, that Nancy has celebrated the New Year so earnestly.

Lively, joyful, just like a dream.

At this moment, the illness doesn’t seem so important.

Everyone’s efforts to bring her happiness, she must be happy!

Nancy truly smiles, the natural gentle melancholy in her eyes bends into crescents.

Everyone watching her smile feels touched; they arranged all this just to see such a smile.

While Nancy is awake and energetic, before the sky turns dark, the lanterns at the Imperial Garden are lit, and the fireworks bought before are moved into the courtyard.

Everyone stands at a distance.

Hailey Smith leads a few bodyguards to light the fireworks.

Hailey holds a torch and calls over, "Everyone, attention, lighting the fireworks!"

"Bang, bang, bang..."

Fireworks explode in the night sky, a moment of splendor lighting up the entire sky.

At this moment, it’s unknown how many people are looking up at this sky.

The firelight is like hope.

The sound of the fireworks is too loud; Godfery quickly covers Nancy’s ears with his hands.

Sophie and Emma Lewis run over laughing with sparklers and hand one to Nancy.

Under the sparkle-like light, Nancy’s face is exceptionally beautiful, like a goddess holding a long candle to pray.

After playing until tired, they have New Year’s Eve dinner together.

Together they prepare many red envelopes.

Everyone is there, truly united as a family.

At eight in the evening, they sit together on the sofa, watching the Spring Festival Gala.

After watching for a while, Nancy feels uncomfortable and hurriedly runs to the restroom.

After finishing the New Year’s Eve dinner, Nancy can’t help but vomit.

Godfery follows her, patting her back.

Once Nancy recovers, she apologizes to Godfery, "Sorry, I’ve ruined the New Year’s atmosphere, don’t tell the others."

"Okay, won’t tell them." 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Godfery takes Nancy back to the sofa; everyone is aware but doesn’t ask, pretending as if nothing happened.

The festive Spring Festival Gala on TV continues as Nancy falls asleep against Godfery.

Her body seems increasingly weak.

Mrs. Allen whispers, "Godfery, she’s asleep, take her upstairs to sleep."

Godfery shakes his head, "Tonight she’ll sleep here, I’ll stay with her and keep vigil. They say lighting candles and keeping vigil from New Year’s Eve until dawn wards off all evil diseases."

Godfery has someone bring a blanket, covering Nancy properly.

Watching Godfery like this, no one can say it’s false; it’s just a beautiful wish.

"I’ll keep vigil with you."

"Me too."

"Everyone will join in."

Everyone keeps vigil together; even little Sophie doesn’t sleep. Though nobody tells her about Nancy’s condition, she senses her mom seems ill.

The burning candles don’t extinguish, and nobody sleeps, until daybreak.

It’s dawn.

The first ray of sunlight from the horizon intersects with the indoor candlelight, falling upon Nancy’s face.

God, have you heard our prayer?

Please don’t let her suffer anymore.

Nancy awakens in such hopeful light.

Godfery looks at her and says, "Happy New Year."

Freshly waking Nancy, still groggy with sleepiness, replies with a bright smile, "Happy New Year."

The new year begins with this exchange of "Happy New Year."

The entire Imperial Garden becomes lively.

"Come, come, come, Sophie, here’s your New Year’s money."

"Emily also has some."

Nancy is also handed a few red envelopes and foolishly asks, "Why do I have some?"

Mrs. Allen gently smiles and says, "You’re the younger generation; younger generations get red envelopes."

Nancy isn’t sure if this is true, but it’s her first time receiving red envelopes, making her so flustered she doesn’t know where to keep them.

Seeing everyone watching her, Nancy shyly says, "I’ve never received New Year’s money, should I return a gift?"

Mrs. Allen quickly turns away so no one sees her tears.

Once a soldier, Mr. Allen has long since softened his edges, kindly saying, "No need to return a gift. Receiving New Year’s money for kids symbolizes warding off evil spirits, ensuring they pass a year safely."

Nancy earnestly keeps her New Year’s money.

Joyce has prepared the dumpling materials on the large outdoor table, calling, "Everyone come make dumplings!"

For the first New Year’s meal, dumplings are a must.

Making them by hand holds more significance, so Joyce prepares everything for everyone to participate.

Imperial Garden is bustling with people, just like a big family.

On New Year’s Eve, dumplings are a must-have every household wakes early to prepare, with everyone enthusiastically participating.

They even specially made two dumplings with nuts inside; whoever gets them will have good luck in the new year.

With so many participants, some seriously making dumplings, some making ugly ones, and Sophie even giving them little ears.

Nancy gets a dumpling with a nut inside, welcomed by everyone’s congratulations.

Nancy suspects they cheated but doesn’t reveal it.

After the dumplings, Sophie mysteriously leads Nancy to the door.

Nancy is puzzled and asks, "Sophie, what’s up?"

Sophie, unable to keep secrets, shows, "There’s a surprise, mom, come with me."
