Nicole’s response was very calm. She smiled faintly with a layer of mist in her eyes.She suppressed her emotions and said, “Yeah, I know I shouldn’t think that way. My relatives shouldn’t lose me because of what happened to my husband. No matter how much I love him, I need to continue living.”Her voice was a little hoarse, and it faded with the wind.However, every word struck Jeff’s heart.He breathed a sigh of relief, but he also felt flustered.His heart was painful as if a thin thread tightened around it, and Nicole’s gentle smile was even more hurtful.His eyes were distressed and complex, and he could not say a word.This was the third time he felt powerless.The first time was the time he was born because he was unable to choose his family.The second time was when the earthquake hit. He could not stop the natural disaster. When he fell from the top of the mountain, he only had one thought in his mind, ‘What will happen to my Nicole?’The third time was this moment.
Nicole taught him how to be gentle, sincere, frank, and kind. She also taught him how to love someone.Clayton was when he saw Nicole.However, when he saw Nicole and Eric refusing to cooperate with Sebastian and leaving side by side, looking like they despised such profiteering behavior of exchanging one’s health for the lives of those marine animals, he felt like Eric and Nicole belonged together.Eric’s righteousness, decency, and purity made him extremely jealous.Even if Nicole would not consider Eric, Clayton could not help but compare his dark thoughts with Eric’s integrity and brilliance.Right.Whoever stood beside Nicole should be like this instead of sacrificing the lives of so many sea creatures for their own benefit even if it was just fish.Those sea creatures were not ordinary fish either.They were rare marine animals that were about to go extinct.This was on the conscience of the rich.Thus, Clayton left and suppressed the greed that was rising in his heart.
The corners of Nicole’s mouth twitched. She took a deep breath and made herself look more energetic.“Did Chatty behave herself and eat after she woke up?”Kai was helpless. “She ate, but she didn’t behave herself. She’s exactly like you! She wants me to sing and perform for her while she eats. What the hell! I thought I went back in time twenty years ago when I was babysitting you!”Why did he still have to go through this when he was in his thirties?Nicole smiled helplessly.“Third brother, she never asks for these things when we eat with her. You obviously pampered her too much!”Kai slumped helplessly on the sofa and looked exhausted.“Well, am I allowed not to pamper her? That little thing is smarter than a monkey. It’s more tiring to coax her to eat than being on set!”Nicole laughed helplessly.“So, have you eaten?”Kai nodded. “Yeah, I ate. I got someone to deliver the meal to me. Chatty fell asleep after she got tired from playing just now.”Nicole breathed a sigh
Eric breathed a sigh of relief when he came out.The driver was already waiting for Nicole, and she got into the car without saying goodbye to Eric.Roland followed closely behind.Before they left, Zuthi walked toward them with a smile.He smiled brightly, and there was a blonde girl beside him.“Ms. Stanton, wait a minute...”Nicole looked over and frowned slightly.“Mr. Camus?”Among all those people, she had the deepest impression of Zuthi Camus.It was not just because of his glorious story of having three wives, but because of his babbling mouth.Nicole was speechless.Zuthi walked over with a smile and handed over a business card.“Ms. Stanton, this is my business card. I’m going home, so I won’t get to see you often in the future, but let’s keep in touch.”Nicole smiled, took it over, and glanced at Roland.Roland immediately took out one of her business cards.Nicole took the business card from Roland and handed it over to Zuthi with a smile.“This is my busine
Fischer nodded excitedly.Soon after, Fischer’s parents came over.“Ms. Stanton, sorry to bother you. We were supposed to send Fischer back last night after spending some time with him, but he fell asleep. We couldn’t bear to send him back overnight, so we waited until now.”Nicole smiled. “It’s a good thing that you can spend more time with him. You can send him back anytime. Why don’t you two stay for dinner?”Camille looked at her with a smile. “We’ve put off work for too long. I’m afraid we won’t be able to have dinner together. Maybe next time when there’s a chance, we’ll treat you to dinner.”Nicole replied, “Sure, no problem.”Camille said, “We should treat you to a nice meal because you’ve taken such good care of Fischer. We can tell that Fischer didn’t suffer one bit with you all, and he’s certainly happier than when he was with my father.”She just saw Nicole wipe Fischer’s sweat with her handkerchief without hesitation earlier.Nicole was so gentle and casual like th
“What?”Nicole was very surprised.Camille nodded. “This is a secret within our company, and this experiment was carried out decades ago. We only made a breakthrough in the past few years, but due to humanitarian concerns in recent years, this experiment has been shut down. That’s why we’ve never really done any human experiments, let alone made the project public. That’s also why Sebastian dared to recruit people unscrupulously and set up a shell company in private. In fact, the experiment isn’t feasible. The woman that he claimed to have resurrected isn’t the result of this project.”Nicole’s face gradually turned pale.Suddenly, she remembered the look on Jeff’s face when their eyes met the moment she left the elevator.If Sebastian’s project was immature and if it failed, then George Quay, who had cancer, would die sooner.Jeff also stayed behind...Zuthi said that Jeff would become Sebastian’s test subject. If this was true, his already bleak life would never get the opport
Nicole’s heart trembled.She knew that Grant came back with an answer, but she did not know if it was too late.Nicole immediately excused herself and went to the side to answer the phone.“Nicole, I just checked. There’s no one named Jeff Lieberman in Canada in investment banking or other fields. I even asked my police officer friends to investigate. They only found that Jeff Lieberman is a registrant of a shell company. But there’s no contact information or useful clues. He’s currently not in Canada either. Is there something wrong with this person?Nicole was stunned by Grant’s words.There was no one named Jeff.A shell company…Nicole immediately understood.Jeff Lieberman was a name used to register a shell company, but that identity might not be real.Nicole hung up the phone with a cold heart.She thought of the lonely figure in the wheelchair that she saw on the deck. He sat there as if he was someone who did not exist in this world.He was dull and lifeless, and th
Although Fischer was calm, his eyes were red and teary.Nicole touched his shoulder. “Fischer, say goodbye to Daddy and Mommy.”“Goodbye, Daddy and Mommy. I’ll be a good boy.”Fischer thoughtfully went over and held their hands.Camille sniffled and looked at Nicole.“Ms. Stanton, since you have guests, you don’t have to send us off. Thank you for your help.”Nicole smiled and insisted on sending them outside.Fischer stood there with downcast eyes as he watched his parents’ car leave. His head was lowered, and he was quite sad.Nicole sighed and patted his head.“Next time when Uncle Grant goes on a business trip, ask him to bring you along so that you can come and see your parents. Uncle Grant comes here often.”Fischer nodded, smiled, and looked up at Nicole.“Where’s Chatty and Uncle K?”Nicole asked Fischer because he called Kai earlier, so he should know where they were.Fischer replied with a smile, “They went shopping. Chatty bought me a lot of presents...”Seeing
