"Ouch!"
Feeling a warm breath spray on her face, Nicole regained consciousness. However, she was startled
by the enlarged face in front of her and couldn't help but retreat. Her back ran into the wall and the pain
immediately caused her to burst into tears.
"Tim, are you crazy?"
Tim suddenly laughed.
"I thought you became a fool."
He retreated with a little pity.
'Almost. I almost kissed her.'
Although Nicole's face was a little pale, her skin was good.
"Look at your skin. So tender. I would rather die if I could kiss it!"
"Go to hell!"
Nicole hit him.
This man should be joking at this time! She was really scared just now.
Tim laughed.
Hearing their laughter, Olivia and Jason looked at each other and said, "Fortunately, Tim is here."
"It seems that Nicole is in a better mood today. People said that a good mood can do great help to
one's illness. Nicole's change today makes me relieved."
Olivia said with relief.
No one knew that Nicole was in a good mood because she had just had a phone call with Samuel.
After being hit, Tim pretended to be deeply hurt. He said with his hands clenching on his breast, "My
heart is broken. How can you be so cruel to me?"
Nicole laughed with more delight.
"You are simply a drama king."
"Smile can make you younger. Besides, a good mental state is helpful to your health. I was just afraid
that you would feel ashamed to see me, so I just sacrificed myself to cheer you up. "
Tim made such strong argument.
Thinking of the fact that he had seen her terrible state, Nicole felt awkward and said, "Who is ashamed
to see you? It cannot be me. Who am I? I am Nicole! I have experienced so many things. How can I be
afraid of being laughed at by you!"
"Really?"
Seeing that Nicole's vitality had returned, Tim felt that he was alive. The grin that had been taken off
from his face also returned.
He leaned towards Nicole and jogged Nicole's arm with his arm, saying, "Is there anything you want to
eat? I can make it for you."
"You know how to cook?"
Nicole doubted.
Tim fiddled with her bangs and said, "I am a genius. Even if I don't know how to cook, I can learn it
quickly."
"Forget it. I'm afraid that you'll burn your kitchen down."
Nicole's words weren't exaggerated.
She suddenly thought of Samuel.
Samuel was not only graceful in the drawing room but also skillful in the kitchen. Even in the kitchen,
he could still maintain his elegance. This was very attractive to her.
Thinking of Samuel cooking breakfast for her in the kitchen every morning, Nicole's expression became
tender.
Tim noticed that Nicole was absent-minded and even tally out of her mind.
He felt a little bit sad.
"Don't tell me that Samuel has cooked for you."
"Yes, he cooks well."
Nicole did not conceal her praise for Samuel. However, to Tim, her praise was like a sword sticking into
his chest.
"Just cooking. I know how to cook too. Wait and see. I promise that I can cook much better than him."
Tim didn't want to talk about Samuel.
However, these words just came out, and his jealousy was growing. Tim had a lot to say, but he
couldn't bear it when seeing Nicole's state.
"You are in such a terrible state and there is still no message from him. Don't you blame him?"
Tim couldn't help but ask.
Nicole whispered, "He must have his own reason. He is not a heartless person, nor a hypocritical man.
If he doesn't want to live with me, he won't treat me in a perfunctory way. Five years ago, he just
directly showed his dislike. He would not submit himself to anything. Since he didn't say that he didn't
want to be with me, I'm sure that he still loves me. I trust him!"
Tim's heart ached.
"You trust him? Even if there is no message from him and even if he doesn't know anything? Do you
know that if I had come a little late, you might have..."
Tim couldn't finish his sentence.
Thinking of what had happened, he still felt frightened.
As a man, how could Samuel ignore it when something like this happened to his beloved woman?
Nicole knew that Tim was just defending her. She knew that he was just for her sake, so she smiled
and said, "That's why you are my benefactor. Without you, I cannot be here. I owe my life to you and
will try my best at your needs."
"Nonsense! I don't need your life. If possible, I would rather you marry me."
"Stop. I'm married. As the young master from such a distinguished family, you shouldn't have said this
to a married woman. Do you know that?"
Nicole turned her face away.
She didn't want to see the injured look on Tim's face.
She couldn't give him the affection he desired.
Who would have thought that a playboy would reform himself and have such a strong passion for a
married woman like her?
The atmosphere was strange, making people feel a little depressed.
Nicole coughed and said, "Is your mother better now?"
"Much better. Same as usual, she still can't recognize people. If you have time, I'll take you to see her.
She has few contacts with people in her life. I'm afraid that she'll live like this for the rest of her life."
"Don't worry, your mother will recover."
Nicole patted Tim's hand and comforted him softly.
This was the first time she took the initiative to hold his hand. Although it was only for comforting, Tim
was still very happy.
"Yes, she will."
He looked at Nicole's hand. It was so slender, so beautiful, so fair. He even had an impulse to hold her
hand and don't let it go for the rest of his life.
Tim wanted to tell Nicole that he didn't care about her marriage. As long as there was a place for him in
her heart, even if it was very small, he would be satisfied. However, was there?
He didn't dare to ask, nor could he.
Tim's gaze made Nicole feel that something was wrong. She hurriedly withdrew her hand and said,
"You're injured. I can't take care of you now. You'd better go back and have a good rest." I heard from
Olivia that you took care of me for the whole night and didn't have any rest. What do you want to do?
Have your housemaid make you some nourishing food. Take care of yourself and don't let me worry.
You are my best friend."
Nicole's words touched Tim.
"I'll be fine. I am very strong. Staying up all night is a piece of cake for me. I can endure it."
"I don't want you to endure, you know?"
Nicole's seriousness stunned Tim, and he chuckled to himself.
'She is concerned about me, right?'
The thought warmed him up inside.
It turned out that there would really be a person who would be overjoyed by her words, her expression,
and her actions.
Tim smiled and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you. I'll go back and have a rest, but you'd better watch out for
the Dons. How about leaving a few people here?"
"There is no need. Jacob will arrange everything for me. Just take good care of yourself. If I really need
your help, I won't be embarrassed to call you. Tim, you are my most trusted friend. I hope you well, you
know?"
There was a trace of concern in Nicole's eyes. Tim quickly nodded.
"OK. I'll listen to you. I'll go back and have a rest now. Promise me, take good care of yourself. I don't
want to see a sickly you."
"Don't worry. I will take good care of myself!"
Nicole's smile was so pure and sincere.
Although Tim was still reluctant to leave, he stood up and left.
When he walked out of the ward, Olivia and Jason were talking about something. Obviously, they were
very happy.
Tim looked at them and said, "Call me at any time if you have any problems."
"OK. Don't worry."
Olivia winked mischievously at him, which startled Tim.
This woman seemed to have changed her attitude towards him.
He left without much thinking.
Olivia entered the room quickly. Jason also followed and looked at Nicole. Seeing that she was in a
good mood, he felt relieved.
"It's good to see you all right. You didn't know that you scared us to death yesterday."
Jason's concern was sincere.
Nicole smiled and said, "Thanks for your concern. Sorry to let you worry."
"Do you know who kidnapped you?"
The kidnap took place in a clubhouse owned by the Dons. Jason felt that it was not an accident or a
coincidence. He tried to search for some evidence but found nothing.
"I don't know. I was left alone in a private room these days. No one paid attention to me, and no one
talked to me. Thus, I don't know who kidnapped me. However, that man was tall. He should be about a
head taller than me."
Nicole tried her best to recall, but there weren't any clues.
Hearing Nicole's words, Jason was somewhat discouraged.
"I didn't tell Mrs. Don about your injury. She's in a bad state now, so..."
"I understand. There's no need to tell her."
Nicole's attitude towards Mrs. Don was always indifferent.
She had once been hurt so terribly that she cannot be warm to her.
Olivia interrupted when Jason wanted to say more.
"After such a long time, Nicole must be tired. Let her rest for a while. As for other things, you guys go to
figure it out. Since you are all respected and powerful people in the Seapolis City, it shouldn't be difficult
for you, right?"
Olivia's words embarrassed Jason.
If it weren't difficult, he wouldn't be so annoyed!
It was so strange that they couldn't find anything with their force and influence.
