"What's going on?"
Before leaving, Booth had entrusted Nicole to Kale. So, he naturally attached great importance to
Nicole's message.
Nicole briefly repeated the thing and sent a picture with it.
Kale arrived soon.
When Tim brought the nurse to the ward, he Nicole taking care of Samuel with a man. Hot anger
immediately coursed through his veins.
"Who, who are you? Who let you in?"
Seeing Tim angry, Nicole hurried to explain.
"Tim, this is my friend's, Kale. He's a police officer. I have reported the maltreatment to the police and
asked him for help."
Tim's face darkened.
"Your friend? You've only been here for a few days, right? Why do you have so many friends? Let me
tell you, not all people are kind. You should be careful! Why do you never learn a lesson?"
Nicole's lips twitched.
"It's none of your business."
Her gaze at the nurse, who was standing behind Tim, was cold.
Since it was reported to the police, the nurse was so terrified that she confessed her fault in a hurry.
"Sorry, I'll tell you everything. I heard that you asked the doctor about Mr. Green's clothes. So, I thought
he might have something valuable. Then, I took advantage of your absence to search him. But I didn't
find anything! It's true!"
However, her explanation enraged Nicole more.
"I can understand your greed. But you actually let a patient stay scruffy. You are a nurse, right?
Besides, why are there pinches on him?"
And it was what her anger directed at.
It was enough to covet the money. She even dared to maltreat Samuel when he was in a coma. It was
outrageous!
How could Samuel suffer such an insult?
Since the nurse dodged their gazes, Kale said in a cold tone, "If you keep silent, I will take you to the
police office."
"It's not my fault!"
The nurse got flurried and pointed at Tim at once.
"It was him. He gave me some money and asked me to do this. And I thought I might earn more if there
was something valuable with Mr. Green. So...."
Nicole's face darkened.
"It's you?"
She was shocked as she stared at Tim.
Since it had come to light, Tim rubbed his chin and admitted it.
"Yes, it's me. So what? I hate Samuel. I was no fighting match for him. So why not bully him when he is
in a coma?"
Tim's voice trailed off as he saw Nicole's face went ugly green.
"No, Nicole. I have no bad intentions, you know. It's just some pinches. He won't die! I ... Nicole!"
Before Tim could finish speaking, Nicole strode to the ward.
Tim quickly followed to continue his explanation.
"Don't be angry. I'm sorry. I was wrong. Otherwise, you can give me some pinches or whatever you
want. Don't be angry."
Nicole swung the door open with Tim following closely behind. Suddenly, Nicole reached to his collar
and threw him out.
With a crisp sound, the door was shut down.
When Tim steadied himself, he had already been kicked out by Nicole.
"Nicole, come on! I can explain it. Nicole! Ouch, my stomach hurts!"
Tim was playing various tricks outside, but Nicole just ignored him.
She fixed her eyes on the nurse and sent a message to Kale, "Deal her according to the procedure. I
won't settle in private."
Kale nodded.
"He is...?"
He could tell that Nicole was mad, but she seemed to be tolerant of that man.
Samuel was Nicole's soft spot. Harming Samuel was poking the bear. She didn't even let go of the
nurse, but she just threw that man out. And that was all. Kale was confused.
After some hesitation, Nicole typed, "I'll handle on my own. And thank you."
"It doesn't matter. Then, I'll see myself out. Call me if you are in need."
Kale left with the nurse.
When the door was open, Tim wanted to enter, but he was stopped by Nicole's cold gaze.
"Nicole, I was just joking. You can pinch me in return. I'm serious!"
Nicole ignored him and directly shut the door.
From then on, Nicole personally took care of Samuel day and night. She refused others' help and
almost lived in the ward. She talked to him, gave him massages, and fed him. Though he was unable
to swallow, she tried her best.
As for Tim, she seemed to have completely forgotten him. She just ignored him and walked over while
meeting.
After three days, Tim couldn't stand it anymore.
"Nicole, say something. I hate the silent treatment."
Tim stopped her.
Nicole was holding a basin of water, which had been used for Samuel's bath. Her gaze was cold since
she was stopped.
"Clear off!"
Her gaze said.
Tim hurried to beg, "I won't go away! Even if you beat me to death, I won't leave."
Fixing the eyes on him, Nicole poured the water onto him.
Both his head and body were drenched.
Tim felt a chill run down his spine.
"Nicole!"
But Nicole said nothing. She turned around and returned to the ward. The door was closed again.
Standing in the corridor, Tim was as wet as a rag. Everyone passed by would take a glance at him.
"What are you looking at? Haven't you see such a handsome guy?"
Tim vented his anger towards those onlookers.
Some people sniggered while others left.
Depressed, Tim went back to the hotel and changed into clean clothes. Only then did he realize that
the water had been for Samuel's bath.
He should be teased by Samuel again. Vegetable as Samuel was, he was annoying.
After changing the clothes, Tim was going to give another try.
He bought some delicious food and knocked on the door of Samuel's ward again.
"Nicole, open the door. Nicole, open the door!"
He was like a rascal, agitating Nicole a lot.
At this moment, Maia was about to deliver the financial statement to Nicole. She sent a message to
inform Nicole in advance.
Nicole had no choice. She could only turn to Maia, "There is an annoying man outside the ward. You
should find a way to get him away."
Ever since Maia was promoted, she was extremely loyal to Nicole, wishing to dedicate all her strength
and capability.
She agreed without thinking twice, "Alright, leave it to me."
Unaware that Nicole had found a helper, Tim was still standing in the doorway.
As the saying went, little strokes fell great oaks. He believed that Nicole would forgive him as long as
he stayed here day and night.
But Tim was naïve.
Not long after, Maia arrived with some fruit.
"Hey, who are you?"
Maia stared at Tim and questioned.
Tim looked up to see a strange woman standing in front of him.
As for Tim, who had dated many beauties, Maia was actually an ordinary-looking woman. She was so
plain that he might still be unable to remember her even after ten meetings.
"What are you doing?"
Tim spat.
For his money, it was Maia's fortune to be able to talk to him.
However, unlike other women, Maia wasn't attracted by his appearance at all. Instead, she said with
distain, "Why would a gigolo be at Mr. Green's ward? Let me tell you, hurry up and leave. Otherwise, I'll
give you a problem."
"Give me a problem? And who you say is a gigolo?"
Tim chuckled from extreme anger.
What a woman!
She looked mediocre and was actually pissy. Her words were so unpleasing! What was wrong with his
handsome look? Besides, being strong and robust, he didn't look like a gigolo at all!
Maia didn't care what he was thinking. She raked him fore and aft and then taunted, "You said you are
not a gigolo? Your skin is so fair. Obviously, you never exposed yourself to the weather. You look so
thin that the wind might just blow you away. Look at your waist. It was even tinier than a woman's."
As she spoke, Maia just pinched his waist with more disdain.
"You know, you are a waste of food. What do you think you are if you are not a gigolo? Alright, you
should leave now. Lady Bush won't like you even if you offer to pay allowance."
Tim's lips twitched from anger.
He was a waste of food?
The wind would blow him away?
And he wanted Mr. Green?
Was this woman blind?
"Hey, if this is the way you to leave an impression, you succeeded. I'll remember you. You may not
know who I am, I am...."
"I don't care who you are. You are as good as wastes. Get away."
Maia didn't want more nonsense and directly pushed him aside.
Tim thought that a woman who was a little over 1.5 meters tall was weak, so he was totally off guard.
Out of expectation, weak as Maia looked, the push she exerted was so strong that Tim just fell down to
the ground.
"Look. You said that you're not a gigolo? Trying to block the door? Get over yourself. You've bitten off
more than you can chew."
With that, Maia swung the door open and went directly in. Tim was left outside again.
Seeing the door open and close, Tim was dumbfounded.
This was the first time that he had been disdained by a woman!
At the moment of truth, he was pushed down by a tiny woman!
Holy shit!
This was simply too embarrassing.
People around him were chuckling and whispering. He had always been there, so almost everyone
knew him.
Depression seized Tim as he thought that his reputation was ruined.
What a weird woman!
Anger urged him to jump up and slap at the door again.
