Nicole stood at the railing at the center of the hospital and looked down, waiting for Floyd and the others to come over.She wondered whether she should get someone to search through the entire hospital for that man, but she was not sure.Floyd and the others would certainly find out if there was a commotion, and they would worry about her.Nicole took a deep breath.Just when she was about to take out her phone to ask the driver why Floyd had not arrived yet, she inadvertently saw a familiar person.It was the woman she met during lunch, Kira.Kira limped toward the seating area downstairs and looked as if she had sprained her foot.Nicole frowned slightly.What a coincidence.The next second, Nicole’s face instantly paled.A man in black clothes also limped over with a payment receipt.Kira raised her head and smiled at him shyly.That man looked like Clayton, not Jeff or someone else.It was Clayton!Nicole did not know how he reconstructed his face back to its origin
Julie pursed her lips, thought about it for a moment, and said, “Nicole, calm down first. Let me analyze it for you. We can’t be sure of his relationship with that woman. But right now, you two are still married. No matter who is around him, you’re still his wife. Since Clayton is back, he must’ve come back to look for you. Otherwise, why would he stay in Mediania where he has far less influence?”Nicole’s eyelashes trembled slightly. She looked up at Julie.“Really?”Julie patted her on the shoulder and said with a smile, “There’s also another possibility. What if he lost his memory due to the earthquake or some other reason? Maybe that’s why he didn’t come back to look for you. After all, you also lost your memory back then when you gave birth to Chatty. Remember?”Nicole’s face froze slightly and turned a little pale.Did he forget her?If he lost his memory, why did he come back to Mediania?However, if he did not lose his memory, why did he not look for her?Nicole gritted
Levi was left outside.Nicole touched Levi’s forehead and found that he was sweating profusely.“Don’t worry, Leaf. Your mom will be fine.”“Auntie, was Mommy in so much pain when she gave birth to me?”Nicole’s heart softened when she saw his sad face.“Yes, pregnancy is like this. But your mom loves you, so even though it hurts, it’s still bearable.”Although Levi was a boy, he was much more sensitive than other boys.At the same time, Chatty obediently ran to Nicole’s side and stayed there.She hugged Nicole’s leg, raised her head, and stroked Nicole’s belly.“Mommy, will you give birth to a little monster for me soon?”Nicole looked at her speechlessly and thought, ‘They’re both kids. Why can Levi be so attentive to Aida, but Chatty is so naive that I feel like beating her up?’Fischer pulled Chatty and said, “Don’t you want Ultra Princess?”“Then Mommy should give birth twice!” Chatty was decisive.Nicole gritted her teeth. “You two should go somewhere else.”Kai and
Nicole’s face froze slightly.She stared into space for a moment and smiled.“I guess I should take the initiative first, huh?”What if Clayton was really ill or had amnesia? Nicole would have misunderstood him.Now that he was back, Nicole would take care of him in every possible way as he took care of her back then.Julie nodded and held her hand.“You should take your time. If possible, bring him back first.”“Yeah, I’ll see how it goes.”Nicole smiled and thought about the back view of the two people leaning on each other while walking out of the hospital. That image made her feel uncomfortable.She wanted to figure out their relationship first.After a short chat, the two ladies went upstairs to rest.For several days, Nicole went back and forth between the office and the hospital.Grant did not go to the office at all. If there was something urgent, they had to call him. Otherwise, he did not want to be disturbed.Thus, Nicole was withheld by the subordinates and had
Nicole pursed her lips and did not say much.The man hesitated. His face turned pale.“What? Why do you drive such an expensive car? Isn’t this a deliberate attempt to rip people off? Miss, since your car is so expensive, you must be rich. Do you still need the repair fees?”Hearing this, Nicole frowned and looked at the man in front of him indifferently.“So what if I’m rich? Do I look like a fool to be taken advantage of?”Her voice was cold without a hint of warmth.The man blushed with embarrassment and stuttered. “Um… Can you give me a discount?Nicole looked away speechlessly and glanced down at her phone as she thought, ‘Why isn’t Logan here yet?’She did not expect Logan to also be stuck in traffic, so Logan could not rush over immediately.Earlier, Nicole was distracted and troubled. She even met an idiot on the road.The woman next to the man could see that Nicole was annoyed. She smiled ingratiatingly and said, “Miss, this amount of money is nothing to you. We’re j
Suddenly, a strong arm stretched out and pulled Nicole up from the ground.The next second, Nicole heard someone say, “It’s really you?”Eric’s words drew Nicole back to reality.She was silent for a second before she quickly wiped away her tears.“Why are you here?”Her voice was slightly hoarse, and she turned her face away as she did not want him to see her like this.Eric grabbed her hand and saw the blood streaks and gravel on her palms. His face darkened a little, and he looked distressed.“I had a meeting in the afternoon and passed by. What happened? Where are your driver and assistant?”His voice was cold, and he was overstepping his bounds.Nicole withdrew her hand and smiled nonchalantly.“I accidentally fell. My car was rear-ended, and Logan is dealing with it now. I thought that I might as well ride a scooter in this traffic jam and didn’t expect to accidentally hit the curb.”Nicole did not have to explain so much.She just subconsciously wanted to protect Cla
Since they were just tasting the dishes, Nicole was not worried about having leftovers.Besides, her purpose was not to eat.The waiter hesitated to speak. He watched as Nicole handed him the menu, but he did not say a word and left.The waiter went to Kira and showed her the long list of orders from Nicole.“Ms. Stanton ordered so much. I don’t think they can finish it. More importantly, I don’t think the boss can make all of these in time, right?”Kira’s face changed slightly.She maintained a calm expression, thought about it for a while, and walked toward Nicole.Nicole had a Band-Aid on one hand. She was leaning on a chair, and her slender and beautiful fingers were glowing in the sun. They were beautiful, like works of art displayed in the exhibition hall. She looked pampered and relaxed as if she had no worries.At this time, Nicole was listening to the man opposite her talking.The man’s voice was low and gentle, and he looked at her with undisguised admiration and joy
After Clayton finished speaking, he took his cane and went downstairs from the back staircase.The area upstairs for entertaining guests was generally not open to the public.For aesthetics, there was a staircase above another exit.When Clayton went downstairs, he could vaguely see Nicole’s seat through the divider.Seeing that the person sitting opposite her was Eric, Clayton froze slightly.He stared at them for a long time before he slowly left.Eric noticed someone else’s gaze and looked sideways, but he did not see anything from his position.He frowned slightly and asked Nicole, “How did you find this place?”Nicole took a sip of sparkling water and casually hooked her lips.“Someone introduced me here. Why?”“If I remember correctly, this place used to be a breakfast diner, and you didn’t like it.”Eric was somewhat puzzled.He did not finish his sentence.Nicole did not like it, but that did not mean others did not like it.The diner was very popular among office
