Chapter 892 Don't You Feel Sorry for Her?

At night, Bianca and Luke took the elevator to the VIP cabins on the top floor of the cruise ship.

Bianca was shocked by the display of opulence.

That was not a cabin. It was more like a palace!

Inside the spacious hall were a minibar, a buffet line, and an entertainment center. The dim light shrouded the area in an aura of mystery.

However, only Percy and Nina were in that vast space.

Nina was holding a microphone and singing a song on the karaoke system.

Next to her were several empty beer bottles.

Percy reclined on the couch lazily while smoking a cigarette. His overly beautiful face seemed sinister under the dim light.

Bianca was surprised. She felt that the atmosphere between the two people was quite peculiar.

Nina was singing "My Heart Will Go On," the theme song of the movie " Titanic."

Her graceful and resonant voice sounded like the original singer. If Bianca had not seen Nina singing, she would have thought that Celine Dion was in the cabin.

Nina performed the melodic yet sorrowful tune well.

Bianca was a sensitive person. She felt a twinge in her nose. Perhaps she was thinking of the heartbreaking story between Jack and Rose, or perhaps she was influenced by Nina's sorrowful mood.

Bianca had always felt guilty about what happened to Nina, and the guilt clung to her like a shadow.

She shook her head and went into the cabin with Luke.

Her full attention was on Nina's singing, so she did not look at her feet while she was walking. She stumbled and nearly fell to the floor.

Luke managed to grab her slender waist in time. "Are you okay?"

Bianca shook her head. "I'm fine. Nina's voice is too moving, and I was caught in the mood. Look, Mr. Mallory seems to be enjoying Nina's performance too."

After making sure that Bianca was indeed fine, he turned his head to look at Percy.

When Percy noticed Luke's presence, he blew a smoke ring and tossed a cigarette at Luke. "You're late."

Luke took the cigarette and answered, "My wife was a little tired earlier, so she took a nap. I had to wait for her to wake up."

Percy did not know what he should do to his friend who doted upon his wife.

He knew that Luke was a merciless businessman, but he did not understand why Luke would bow to his wife's whims.

Bianca watched the karaoke music video on the screen.

In the movie, the male lead gave the female lead one last kiss before falling into the sea, so that the female lead would survive.

She had watched that scene countless times, but she never failed to feel sad.

The two lovers were separated by life and death. They would never meet each other again, and she could only keep him in her memories.

She remembered how she had to live in agony in the years she was separated from Luke.

Nina also almost could not control her emotions. Toward the end of the song, her voice started shaking.

She put the microphone down, and the music stopped playing. The room fell into silence.

Clap clap clap...

Bianca was the first to applaud Nina. She also patted Nina's shoulder approvingly. "Not bad, Nina. Your singing is getting better and better. You

ought to sign up for The Voice!" Content © 2024.

Nina covered her face shyly. "Thanks. I don't sing as well as you. I remember that you got the first prize in the high school singing competition." "Eh, that's already so long ago. I honestly think that you sing better than me, " Bianca praised genuinely.

Percy, who was usually a man of few words, suddenly spoke up. "You don't have to flatter her. Her voice is only mediocre."

The comment struck Nina speechless.

Bianca coughed and laughed. "If you don't have anything nice to say, you can keep it to yourself, Percy. I've been wondering why you don't have a significant other, so it turns out that you're so chauvinist! Nina is like a pearl, and she's being cast before a... you know...”

Percy's expression sank instantly. No woman had ever talked to him like that before. Seeing that she was Luke's wife, he was not going to squabble with her.

Nina did not mind the comment, though she felt incredibly frustrated.

She grabbed a glass of beer from the table and downed its contents.

Bianca quickly grabbed the glass from Nina's hands. "You've already drunk a lot of champagne earlier, Nina, so you shouldn't be drinking beer. It's not good for your health. Is there milk or some other hot drink here? I'll bring you some."

Nina smiled at Bianca. 'It's fine. You know that my capacity for alcohol is bigger than yours. I want to drink today, Bea. Here, a toast to you." "No! Your health is poor, yet you still want to drink? Don't you care for yourself?" Bianca said assertively.

She remembered that Nina had almost lost her life when she aborted her baby, and her constitution had been weak since then. The doctor had advised against eating cold food or drinking alcohol.

Nina could only comply when she saw Bianca's determined look. "Alright, I'll stop drinking today. Honestly, Bea, you're so nice to me."

Nina had always been grateful for Bianca's care toward her. Her parents had always favored her brother, and she did not have anyone to care for her at home. Even though Nina's brother had done despicable things to Bianca, Bianca did not resent Nina. Instead, Bianca had cared for her at work and in her personal life.

Bianca had shown Nina more care than her family ever would.

Of course, Nina knew that she could only ultimately rely on herself, even though she wanted love from her parents or her significant other. However, that was too difficult for her.

Someone had spread the rumor that she had aborted her baby. Everyone in her town knew that she was used goods.

They spoke about her in disgust. There could be no bliss in her future.

Sometimes, Nina would dream that she was a child once again, and she would be back to her carefree life in her hometown. She remembered that a rather handsome boy dressed in white stood under a tree and smiled at her.

Of course, that was a memory that she could not return to.

Bianca noticed the empty beer bottles next to Nina. She knew that they must have drunk a lot before she and Luke arrived.

She could not help but glare at Percy. "Percy, you've been dating Nina for quite some time. Don't you know that she can't drink too much alcohol? See, her face is already pale. Don't you feel sorry for her?"
