"You are still afraid of hurting Tim. I am so sad."
Nicole tilted her head to look at Samuel and smiled, "You are sad? Let me see check your broken
heart."
As she spoke, she touched Samuel's chest and twisted it hard.
Samuel let out a painful cry.
He then suddenly leaned back in the seat and said, "I'm injured, I can't drive."
"Stop messing around, Samuel. Hurry up. Her womb is damaged and she will be in danger if it's not
treated. Even if you don't do it for Tim, do it for Trevin."
Samuel sat up straight upon hearing Nicole's words.
"You are tough outside but soft inside."
"I did it to return Tim's favor. He has to let it go in his lifetime."
Samuel shook his head and he backed the car.
Maia trembled in pain, but when she discovered that the car returned, she was astounded.
Nicole got off and said coldly, "Get in the car and I'll take you to the hospital."
"I don't need your hypocrisy."
Maia's face paled because of pain, but she still stubbornly looked at Nicole and refused.
Nicole did not look good either.
"I don't do this for you, but for Tim. If he wakes up and something has happened to you, I can't give him
an explanation. Aren't you his girlfriend? Shouldn't you serve him? How can you do that with a
damaged health? When Tim wakes up, we will leave. So since you admit that you are his girlfriend, get
in the car now. I don't have much time for you. "
Nicole's words surprised Maia.
"You will leave? You won't take care of him?"
"He has you, what's the point of me being here?"
Nicole said indifferently.
Maia choked.
"I, I don't have your power, and I can't fight against Jase. What if Jase does something to Tim again?"
"If it weren't for you, Jase wouldn't have done that to Tim, and as long as you stay low, Tim would be
fine. You know Tim. He can solve this by himself. He will never ask us for help. You underestimated
him. Hurry up and get in the car."
After saying that, Nicole got into the car.
Maia looked at the opened back door and hesitated.
But the pain woke her up.
No matter what reason Nicole had to save her, she had to live. She still had a lot of things to do.
Thinking of this, Maia quickly got on the car and closed the door.
"Don't even think about me thanking you."
"I didn't expect it any way."
Speaking indifferently, Nicole leaned back in the seat and closed her eyes to rest.
Samuel did not say anything and drove to the hospital.
Maia was sent to the doctor, and Nicole did not follow. Instead, she went to Tim's ward with Samuel.
"You're awake? You are quite tough."
Seeing that Tim had woken up, Nicole stepped forward and poked at his wounds.
"Ouch, it hurts! Nicole, you did it on purpose!"
Tim gritted his teeth in pain. Seeing Samuel behind Nicole, he said, "Samuel, can you discipline your
woman?"
"It's your honor to have my woman touch you. Be grateful."
Samuel's words almost angered Tim to death.
"Holy shit! You two stand on the same side and bully a single man like me, don't you?"
"How can you be single? Don't you have a girlfriend called Maia?"
Tim got anxious after Nicole said that.
"Oh right, have you seen Maia? Is she alright? Did those people hurt her?"
As he spoke, Tim was about to get up, but Nicole pushed him back.
"You have the energy to care about her? You've become like this. Would you really like to die here?
Didn't I warn you that Maia was fishy? How can you be so stupid that you almost die for her? Tim,
you..."
"Didn't she almost die in order to save me?"
Nicole brought up short at Tim's words.
"She approached you with a purpose, don't you know?"
"Even if it was intentional, the cost of her being infertile is great, right?"
Tim said with a bitter smile.
Nicole instantly understood something.
"Are you really in love with her? Despite her ill intentions and ulterior motives? Are you still going
insist?"
Tim took a deep breath and said, "Nicole, I know you are worried about me and that all of you are
afraid that I will be tricked by Maia, the scheming woman. I admit that I was very angry when I found
out that she approached me with ill intentions. I even wanted to expose her when I found evidence. But
when I saw the man placing the dagger against her neck and blood flowing out, my heart ached so
much that I almost suffocated. At that moment, I knew I've fallen. "
Tim smiled bitterly again and continued, "I don't know when I was attracted to this woman. Perhaps
when she showed me her purity at the beginning, perhaps when we had a long conversation that night,
perhaps because of some other things. I just know that if she is willing to continue acting and staying
with me like this, no matter what schemes she has, I will accept it."
Nicole was shocked.
She didn't expect Tim to be so deeply trapped.
Samuel patted his shoulder and said, "Congratulations, you are in love."
"Save it, do you think the threat is gone? Samuel, I'm telling you, don't think that I won't care about
Nicole. She is the first woman I've ever had a feeling for in my life, and she is also my lifelong friend. If
you dare to treat her ill, I will take her away at any time."
Samuel laughed at his words.
"Mind your own business. She has me. We have to leave. We have to do many things. Since you're
fine, we think you can handle the rest. But if you need anything, call us at any time. Anyway, as long as
Nicole recognizes you as her friend, I will, too."
Tim paused when hearing Samuel's words.
"You will leave? So soon?"
"We've made it long enough. If it weren't for your hospitalization, we wouldn't have come here, okay?"
Samuel looked at Tim with disdain.
Tim didn't care about what he said.
He looked at Nicole and asked, "Where is Maia?"
"She..."
"I'm here. I just went to buy some fruit. Nicole and Mr. Green are here, and I can't let them starve,
right? Nicole paid for your operation fee. Tim, since you're awake, pay her back."
Maia pushed open the door and walked in with a bag of fruit in her hand.
When Nicole heard her, she felt somehow disgusted. It sounded like she and Samuel came here to get
their money back after Tim woke up.
Tim also felt it unpleasant. He frowned and said, "Nicole and Samuel won't care about this little money."
"Yeah, Nicole won't care, but it doesn't mean you don't need to pay her back. No matter what, Nicole
gave me money to save you at the critical moment. We have to return this favor. It's also my fault. I
didn't save much money these years. You were in hospital and were in blood. I had no choice but to
call Nicole."
As Maia spoke, she lowered her head as if she would cry at any moment.
Nicole had never seen such a good actress. She was so furious that she wanted to say something, but
she was grabbed by Samuel.
"It's fine. We're just nearby, and Tim helped us before."
Samuel said courteously.
Tim paused for a moment and handed a bank card to Maia.
"Take it. The password is eight eights. Just in case."
"I won't take it. I'm not here for your money. I've handed my resignation to Nicole and I will take care of
you from now. Don't worry."
Maia didn't take Tim's card, but what she said surprised Nicole.
She did not complain to Tim that she fired her. Instead, she said that she resigned. What exactly did
that mean?
However, Tim smiled and said, "Fine. If you want a job, I can start a company and you will be the one
running it."
When Nicole heard this, she was depressed.
"Tim, are you going to rob my job?"
"How can I? I just thought, sooner or later, you and Samuel would return to Seapolis City, and no one
would run the travel agency. How about this? I'll invest on behalf of Maia and let her manage it, and all
you have to do is to share the profit, okay?"
Tim's words made Nicole somewhat at a loss.
Indeed, her focus was not on the travel agency, but if she gave it to Maia, she would be uneasy.
"You're not going back?"
Samuel asked the question that Nicole wanted to ask.
Tim smiled and said, "I'm single, and it won't make a difference. Didn't Ballard have a son?" If he wants
to be with his son, he can go find Jacob. Without me in Seapolis City, the three could probably reunite.
As for my mother, I'll find a sanatorium here and bring her over. The scenery here is pretty good, and
the temperature is just right. I think living here is not bad."
Nicole understood what Tim meant.
For the sake of Maia, he decided to stay.
For some reason, Nicole suddenly felt sad.
"Tim, you belong to Seapolis City."
"You know me. I'm not happy in Seapolis City, but I'm in a better mood here. So you don't need to
persuade me. I'm not a child and I know what I'm doing. Nicole, Samuel, let's leave each other alone."
Tim suddenly felt a little upset.
He looked at Nicole and was still somewhat reluctant, but he knew that his focus would no longer be on
her.
He had a new target, which was the woman he wanted.
He was reluctant to part. He was depressed and even regretted. However, Tim knew that he and Nicole
were going to live different lives forever.
Maia saw how Tim looked at Nicole and suddenly felt jealous.
