"Okay, I'll wait for you!" Nicole replied obediently.

The phrase warmed the hearts of Shawn and Gale.

They had been waiting for her to say it for a long time!

"Yeah! We've been waiting for you to wake up too, for a long, long time... Nicole," Gale said.

Nicole smiled.

Her smile was so pretty.

Nicole, who belonged to Gale, finally came back!

As soon as she hung up, Gale's tears fell even more fiercely.

Shawn sighed deeply. "Galey, why are you crying more than Nicole?"

"Nicole doesn't like to cry. Over the years, she seldom cries. She only hums to me when she is too sick. Since she came to Sea City, she's cried more than ever before," Gale replied with a sob.

"She needed to be treated for leukemia, and then she was under a spell. She always feels that I don't want her anymore, I don't love her anymore, and she doesn't feel safe, so she cries."

"Otherwise... Nicole is really good."

That was a fact.

Almost every time Nicole shed tears, it was either because of illness or Gale.
