Nicole knew that it might be inappropriate to talk to Tim about this at this point, but they were friends
and she indeed had no other choice.
"What are you talking about? Of course I'll help you. Samuel once gave me some money for the failure
of my business and I have always been grateful to him. If you are looking for a doctor for Samuel, don't
worry, I will immediately ask everyone I know to help you."
Tim thought that was what Nicole asked him for, so he agreed without hesitation.
However, Nicole shook her head and wrote on Twitter, "It's not about this. I want to borrow some
money from you."
"Borrow some money?"
Tim thought he misread it and tried to rub his eyes.
But Nicole was indeed trying to borrow money from him.
He was confused. The Green family was very rich, with money being the last thing they would be short
of.
This was also the first time that Nicole had asked someone to lend her money, so she felt somewhat
embarrassed.
"Yes, I'm in trouble right now and need two million to stay afloat. I can't tell anyone about this except
you. It doesn't matter if it's inconvenient for you. I'll ask someone else."
Nicole typed quickly.
Tim finally realized what was happening.
"Who else do you know and you want to ask? Olivia, that poor office worker? Or Jacob? If you could
borrow money from him, you wouldn't have asked me. Then who else? The Don family? Or your
parents? You probably don't know how to say that to them, do you? Or more accurately, your parents
don't know your situation, do they?"
Nicole was bombarded with Tim's questions and didn't know how to reply.
Indeed, she did not dare to tell her parents about what happened to her, just like five years ago. She
just regularly remitted money to them and occasionally sent them a message to tell them that she was
fine but a little busy.
If her parents knew that she was dumb, they would definitely be extremely grieved.
She knew that she couldn't hide this from them forever, but she would just take it one day at a time.
Seeing that Nicole went silent, Tim knew that he was right.
He didn't know that Olivia had found her biological parents, so he didn't think too much.
"Give me your account number."
"What?"
Nicole was puzzled.
"You don't understand? Give me your account number. Otherwise, how can I transfer money to you?"
Tim felt that Nicole became a little stupid now.
It was all Samuel's fault!
He cursed inwardly.
Only then did Nicole react and quickly send her account number to him. After that, she added, "Thank
you."
"If you really want to thank me, just take good care of yourself in case that you get crippled
accidentally."
At the thought of this, Tim went furious.
Nicole got a warm feeling in her heart.
"Don't worry. I'll definitely pay you back in three months."
"No rush. I'm not lending the money to you but paying it back. Because of the money you lent me, I got
a chance to start over. Now I won everything back and the Louis family could support itself. So don't
worry. Just let me know if you need any help financially."
After this, Tim paused and then asked, "Where are you now? I'll go take a look at you."
"No need to do that. I'm not in the Seapolis City but a far place. You can get busy with your business
first. Don't worry, I'll tell you if I need anything."
"Nicole, if you don't tell me, you're looking down on me, okay? Alright, I'm a little busy now. After I get
my work done these days, I'll go see you."
After saying this, Tim went to work.
Not long after, Nicole got a text message, saying that a sum of money had been deposited in her
account.
Nicole clicked it, only to find that it was five million.
Tim gave her another three million, with a postscript.
"I'm worried that you'll suffer outside, so I sent you more. You can tell me if that's not enough. This is all
I have on my account and will have more than ten million in two days. By that time, I'll transfer some
more to you."
Nicole was very touched and hurried to reply, "No, that's already enough."
Tim stopped replying, seeming to be busy with work.
Nicole quickly sent the five billion to Mr. Wilson, handled the transfer formalities, and signed a contract
with the city government.
After taking over the tourism company, Nicole became much busier.
She had never known it would be so taxing to run a company. At the end of the day, she felt pretty worn
out.
Despite exhaustion, Nicole came to Samuel's ward and told him what happened today.
Knowing that she couldn't speak, she downloaded a voice conversion software. She would input what
she wanted to say, converted it into voice and played it to Samuel.
Nicole hoped at all times that she could speak to Samuel, but now she really had no time for her throat.
She stayed with Samuel and returned to the hotel after ten o'clock.
Looking at the price list of the hotel, she suddenly felt it was a waste of money.
She lived alone in the hotel and felt empty inside.
Nicole stayed for one night and woke up the next morning to find housing.
She found an apartment very close to the hospital and rented it.
Samuel remained asleep like a vegetable, but Nicole would come to clean his body and talk to him
every day, trying to do everything herself.
The doctor at the hospital saw it and kindly reminded her, "Mrs. Green, you can hire a nurse."
"That's okay. My husband doesn't like others to touch him."
Nicole smiled, without the slightest sign of sadness.
After getting things done in the hospital, she made herself presentable and went to the company.
The tourism company had miscellaneous things for her to do. Sometimes, she needed to change the
travel route on a temporary basis and contact the car shop for car rental. Therefore, she was as busy
as a bee all the day.
Fortunately, Nicole was very good at learning. Although she couldn't completely take charge of the
company within two days, she was starting to get somewhere
She checked the company's ledger. Brian had embezzled a lot of money and she had to cover the
deficit.
Nicole strived to tough it out.
It was already one o'clock in the morning when she was done with her work.
Nicole came to the hospital with tremendous exhaustion, and everyone here was already in sleep.
She came to Samuel and said with the conversion software, "Sorry, Samuel, I'm late today. Are you
waiting too long? If you were awake, you would rush to the company and drag me back directly,
wouldn't you? So, get better as soon as possible. Look, without you, my life is a mess and I'm gonna
die of overwork. You can't just lie here and depend on me."
With that, she gently touched Samuel's nose.
Samuel used to do this to her, but now it was the other way around. Nicole had a mix of feelings.
She started to clean Samuel's body and told him about the company today. Unknowingly, it was already
half past two.
Nicole yawned and looked at the sky outside, deciding to stay here.
She put her head on Samuel's bed and fell asleep.
When the nurse came in to make rounds the next morning, she hurried to wake Nicole up, who was still
sleeping.
"Mrs. Green, it's dawn."
Nicole's eyes snapped opened. Seeing that it was already past eight o'clock, she couldn't help but grow
somewhat upset.
She was late!
After smartening herself up quickly, she brought a basin of water and then cleaned Samuel's body
carefully.
"Mrs. Green, let me do this. You should rest for a while. Look at you, you got very dark shadows under
your eyes."
But Nicole shook her head and gestured, "I can do this. He is a neat freak and has many quirks. If you
don't do as he wishes, he'll easily lose his temper."
With that, she smiled at the nurse.
The nurse wanted to say that Samuel was just the same as a vegetable now, and didn't know even if
you don't clean him up. However, seeing Nicole's bright smile, she bit her tongue.
Nobody was entitled to hurt a hopeful and positive person, was they?
Nicole did not know what others would think. She quickly cleaned up Samuel and kissed him on the
forehead, saying with the conversion software, "Darling, I'm going to work. Good morning."
After doing all of this, Nicole left.
She arrived at the company and started another busy day.
Nicole felt that she couldn't continue working like this.
Samuel was sick and needed someone to take care of him by massaging all the muscles of his body to
prevent muscular atrophy. However, she was fully occupied with work of the company every day and
had no time to look after Samuel. This was not what she hoped for.
She had indeed earned some money, but Samuel mattered the most to her.
Nicole looked through the personnel form and found that a person named Maia was especially talented
at management. Moreover, she graduated from a tourism school, geared to the needs of the job.
She had Maia called over and told her that she wanted her to run the company.
Maia couldn't believe it and was slightly stunned.
Nicole encouraged her and gave her confidence.
"Thank you, Lady Bush. I will try my utmost to do the job."
Nicole didn't promote Maia at will. She had investigated her background and found out that Maia was
upright and capable. She just needed an opportunity.
Appointed by Nicole to this job, Maia felt that she was too lucky, telling herself that she must run the
company well for Nicole.
Nicole watched how Maia worked for three days. Seeing that Maia managed the company in an orderly
manner, she felt relieved.
"I won't be here from tomorrow. You can contact me on Twitter if there're any problems."
Nicole formally handed over the company to Maia.
Maia nodded.
"Don't worry, Lady Bush. I can definitely do it well."
"Thank you."
After the handover of the company's affairs, Nicole came to the hospital.
Within just a few days, she felt that Samuel had lost weight.
Besides that, his face had also turned pale and he wasn't as handsome as before.
Nicole sat on the edge of his bed and said with the conversion software, "If you can't be the same
handsome as before, I don't want to see you anymore."
However, Samuel was asleep as usual.
Regardless of a little pang of disappointment, Nicole remained hopeful.
She thought that the God wouldn't be so cruel to her. She had suffered so much, and would be given
the happy life she wanted.
Definitely!
