Nancy had a rough idea what was going on, so she nodded slowly.Â
She then brought Jordan back to the hospital room to continue his treatment.Â
“How are you feeling now, Jordan?” Nancy asked.Â
Jordan flexed his wrist. “Much better. I don’t feel the stabbing pain anymore. Thank you, Nancy. I never imagined you’d be this skilled. You’re even knowledgeable in medicine!”Â
He spoke with genuine gratitude.Â
Nancy offered him a faint smile. “As long as you’re fine. Your hand should be fully healed before the national competition. At this rate, it won’t affect your performance.”Â
“Really? You’re my lifesaver!” Jordan positively lit up. “I need to treat you to dinner, Nancy. I don’t even know how else to thank you!”Â
“Sure. But we’re family, so don’t feel pressured,” Nancy replied.Â
Jordan looked at her with admiration and warmth in his eyes. “Come on, then. What do you want to eat?”Â
Nancy didn’t want to complicate things, so she picked a nearby restaurant.Â
After dinner, Jordan made a suggestion. “It’s still early. There’s an arcade close by. Want to check itÂ
out?”Â
“Sure,” Nancy agreed. Although she had never been to an arcade before, she had always thought itÂ
looked fun.Â
At the arcade, Nancy’s curiosity was piqued by every game. At this time, Jordan led her to the shooting booth. “Nancy, do you like shooting games?”Â
“They’re alright.”Â
Jordan bought some tokens and slid them into the machine. Then, the two started playing.Â
From her clumsy start, he figured that she wasn’t any good. But within five minutes, Nancy was breezing through the game. They easily cleared the final stage together, leaving Jordan stunned. He quickly pulled her along to try the other games.Â
Every time, she was awkward at first but picked up fast, mastering the controls in no time.Â
Jordan couldn’t hide his amazement. “Nancy, is this really your first time here?”Â
“It is.”Â

“Your learning speed is insane. If you hadn’t told me, I’d swear you were a regular,” he said as he dropped into the seat of a King of Fighters machine. “Let’s do one more round of this!”Â
Just then, a mocking voice cut in from behind them. “Only kids play these childish games. It makes perfect sense that you two would be into them.”Â
They turned around to find Fergus and Raine.Â
Jordan frowned. “What’s it to you?”Â
Fergus noticed how close the two of them looked and felt a wave of jealousy wash over him. “Nancy, I’m your real brother. Why waste time with trash like him?”Â
“Trash? You mean yourself?” Nancy shot back without hesitation.Â
“How dare-“Fergus nearly exploded.Â
Raine tugged on his arm and then turned to them with a gentle smile on her face. “Jordan, Nancy, what a coincidence. Since we ran into each other, why don’t we play together?”Â
“No thanks. You two have fun,” Jordan rejected.Â
“Jordan, if you’re a real man, you should play a man’s game. How about basketball?” Fergus tried to goad him. “What’s wrong? Don’t tell me you can’t even shoot hoops?”Â
Then, he turned to Nancy. “Hanging around trash like him will only hold you back, Nancy.”Â
“That’s right. I know you’ve always been envious of my bond with Fergie, but you shouldn’t settle for someone like Jordan,” Raine said.Â
Their smug words made Jordan’s eyes darken. He knew Nancy was never treated well in the Lidells. They were selfish and arrogant. But what he couldn’t stomach was anyone mocking her.Â
“Fine! Basketball, was it? I’ll play,” Jordan snapped.Â
Fergus arched a brow. “Are you serious? Alright, then. Let’s make it interesting. What ifÂ
“What do you want?”Â
Fergus crossed his arms. “If you lose, you can never see Nancy again.”Â
A sharp glint flashed in Jordan’s eyes. “Fine. But if you lose, you’ll stay away from her.”Â
“Deal,” Fergus said, smirking.Â
They then walked over to the basketball hoops.Â
you lose?”Â
“Ten shots each,” Fergus said, lifting a brow mockingly. “Whoever scores more wins. Problem with that?”Â

“None at all,” Jordan answered.Â
Nancy glanced at Jordan’s hand worriedly, but he only offered her a reassuring smile. “Don’t worry. I’m fine. My hand feels a lot better now. I’ll win.”Â
