Nicole thought for a long time about whether she should tell her about it. Then they arrived at the
hospital.
Olivia got out of the car first and supported Harper, with Nicole following behind.
They went to the doctor's office and told the doctor about the detail of Harper's decease. Then Nicole
went through the hospitalization procedures.
After everything was done, Olivia looked at her watch and whispered, "I have to go somewhere else. I
have already hired a nurse and will be back soon. I'll write you an IOU later. Do not refuse."
Nicole nodded.
Olivia was a stubborn person. Since she insisted, Nicole should just accept it.
Seeing Nicole nod, Olivia smiled bitterly and said, "Why didn't you ask me where I'm going?"
"I believe that any decision you make is after careful consideration. You are not an impulsive woman.
You have your own thoughts. You know what you are doing and what you need. As a friend, all I can do
is to help and support you when you need it. There is no need to ask as long as you take good care of
yourself. Remember, I get your back."
Nicole held Olivia's hand and said.
Olivia's tears were about to run out.
"Thank you, Olivia. I know that your must had a hard time when you were detained by Elvis. I also
know about your current state of health. Don't worry. I will take care of myself. I hope you do the same.
I probably don't have time to help you with your business these days."
"You don't have to say that. It's us. Do whatever you have to do."
Olivia nodded and said a few words to Harper before leaving.
Nicole did not tell her about Jacob's car accident.
Looking at Olivia's weak back, Nicole couldn't help but sigh.
After she settled Harper down, she went to Jacob's ward.
"How's he?"
When Samuel saw Nicole coming over, he looked behind her to check if there was someone else and
whispered, "He is still unconscious and has already been sent to the ICU. Did you find Olivia?"
"I did, but I didn't tell her."
Nicole sighed and whispered, "She is having a hard time now. Booth can't take care of himself and
Harper is a mess. If I tell her about Jacob now, what do you expect her to do? She's almost crushed.
I'm afraid Jacob's car accident will thoroughly break her down.
Samuel frowned slightly and hesitated to say anything.
"What is it? Do you think I made a bad decision?"
"No."
Samuel took a deep breath and whispered, "Jacob may never get out of the coma."
"What?"
Nicole was stunned.
"How could it be so serious? How did he get into a car accident? Did someone hit him or did he hit
himself?"
"The driver escaped. There are no surveillance cameras there. I thought that Jacob was drunk.
However, the police said there was no alcohol in his blood. That means Jacob was driving soberly.
There is no conclusion of the car accident now."
Hearing Samuel's words, Nicole was shocked.
"It doesn't make any sense!"
"Nobody knows what happened. Jacob has no relatives now. I'm the only one he has. I've already hired
a nurse. I'll cover his medical expenses first. Although Jacob has a company, it can only be shut down
now and the account will be frozen. He has no will, and he is unconscious now. He cannot authorize us
to deal with his business so his money is untouchable. "
Nicole nodded and said,
"Just follow your heart. However, in this case, I think I should tell Olivia and let her make her own
decision."
Nicole's felt sorry for Olivia, but she had no choice but to tell her about it.
She walked out of the ward, thinking a lot, and finally called Olivia.
Olivia was in a noisy place, probably a bus.
"Nicole, what's up? Is there something wrong with my dad?"
Olivia was very worried.
It was really hard for Nicole. She had no choice but to say it.
"No, it's about Jacob. Olivia, Jacob had an accident."
Nicole told Olivia everything about Jacob.
Olivia was in complete silence.
"Olivia, are you still there?"
Nicole was worried, and then the phone was hung up.
Noticing Nicole's worries, Samuel asked with doubts, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing."
Nicole smiled and put away her phone.
Was Olivia completely over Jacob?
Or couldn't she take it so far?
Nicole did not know.
Samuel held her hands and said with care, "You've worried enough. Alright, Let Ernesto send you back
first. I can take care of Jacob."
"I'll stay for a while. I just feel a little depressed right now. Too much things are going on lately. I just
need time. By the way, aren't you going to visit Elvis?"
Nicole still remembered what Samuel said.
Samuel looked towards the direction of Jacob's ward and whispered, "Jacob needs someone to sign
the forms for him at any time. I can't leave now."
"You can actually. I'll cover for you."
"You are too tired for this."
Nicole shook her head and said, "It's fine. I'm aware of my body condition. It's not bad for me to walk
around. I'm just a little depressed. I will be fine as long as you come back soon."
Samuel hesitated for a moment.
Elvis might really have something he wanted to know. After hesitating for a moment, he called Ernesto
to accompany Nicole before leaving.
Not long after he left, Olivia ran over panting.
"Where is he?"
Tears welled up in her eyes, making Nicole feel the same way.
"Don't panic. He's in the ICU. Even if you go over now, he might not be able to hear you."
"I want to see him."
Olivia couldn't hold back her tears any longer.
Nicole was familiar with the feeling. Back when Samuel's life was in danger, she also felt hopeless. If it
wasn't for her belief, she didn't know if she could persevere. Now, it was all bad news about Jacob.
"Olivia, be strong. Didn't you break up?"
"That's a lie. If he is fine, breaking up may be good for us since I don't want to drag him down. But now
that he's unconscious, how can I break up with him?"
Olivia opened the door and walked in.
Nicole did not follow her and just waited outside.
Olivia looked at the man lying on the bed covered in gauze and immediately cried. However, as if she
was afraid of disturbing him, she subconsciously covered her mouth when she cried and walked
towards Jacob step by step gently.
It had been only one night since the last time they met. How did he end up like this?
"Jacob, can you hear me? Do you know who I am? Nicole said that you are unconscious now, but I
don't believe it. There is no way that you can't tell my voice. You can't lie on the bed like this for the rest
of your life, can you? I know you are proud although you are not allowed to be . You promised to take
me to Turkey, Paris and anywhere else I wanted to go. I remember all of it. I'm sorry I broke up with you
yesterday. I didn't mean to. But if I don't break up with you, my family will drag you down. This is my
responsibility, not yours. I can't do this to you. But why are you doing this to me? Is this a punishment
for me? "
Olivia grabbed Jacob's hand and whispered.
"I know you can hear me, right? Jacob, please wake up! I wish you all the best even after I broke up
with you. I hope you can live a better life without me instead of being like this. Wake up! Please Wake
up!"
She grabbed Jacob's hand and tried to pull him up, but she failed. In the end, she lay on Jacob's body
and couldn't stop crying.
"Why is this happening? Why?"
However, there was no answer but silence.
Jacob seemed asleep without any emotions.
Olivia cried for a while. Then she sat up straight and wiped away her tears. She looked at Jacob and
smiled, "It's fine. You can rest for a while if you are tired. I'll be with you. Please wake up when you feel
better, okay?"
Jacob still had no reaction, but Olivia quickly adjusted her mood.
She took a deep breath and said, "I know the suffering is temporary. Sooner or later, everything will be
fine. A brighter future is waiting for us. Don't worry, I will not be crushed. I will come to see you every
day, talk to you every day, and I will always wait for you. Jacob, no matter what happens, I'm your
woman for the rest of my life."
Olivia touched Jacob's face with love and tenderness.
"I heard that they hired a nurse for you. I can't stay here all the time because I have to make money.
However, I will visit you every day. Don't worry."
Olivia whispered to Jacob, recalling their stories and wishes over and over again.
Watching outside the window, Nicole couldn't help feeling touched and grieved.
She knew that Olivia would not leave Jacob again. Even if he could not wake up forever, she would be
there for him.
Sometimes, nothing could separate two people who loved each other deeply. She just felt sorry for
Olivia.
Now, she had to take care of three men with her weak body. If she wasn't strong and positive enough,
she might have collapsed long ago.
Nicole turned around, leaving the private space to them, and walked away by herself.
Ernesto wanted to follow up, but she wouldn't let him. The people close her and she was all having a
bad time. She felt depressed and wanted to take a walk alone.
Nicole walked towards the garden behind the hospital and accidentally saw a familiar figure.
What was she doing here?
