"I have to go out for a while."
Nicole left in a hurry.
Samuel hurriedly left Zoe to Alison, quickly stopped Nicole and said, "Where are you going? I can give
you a ride."
Nicole paused for a moment and said, "Aren't you busy?"
"I'm not busy for now. Ernesto is dealing with the company's affairs. My most important duty is to stay
with you and our child."
Then, Samuel held Nicole's hand and walked out.
Zoe knew that she was left by Daddy again, so she pouted.
"Ms. Lake, I also want to find a boyfriend! My dad leaves me alone again!"
Alison's pursed her lips with embarrassment.
'Are kids so precocious now?'
'She is only four years old and she wants a boyfriend?'
'I am already twenty-five and don't have a boyfriend. Isn't that too bad?'
Alison felt upset.
Nicole did not know her daughter's lofty ideal at all. After being taken into the car by Samuel, she said,
"You don't even ask me where I am going?"
"You'll tell me where to go after getting in the car, won't you?"
Samuel started the car.
Well, this man knows her well.
Nicole whispered, "Go to KFC near the northern suburbs."
Samuel did not ask Nicole why she went there and headed for there.
He drove carefully at a moderate speed. It didn't take a long time to arrive at the KFC.
Fernanda's face still had tears. She kept looking at the time and looked around, being very anxious.
Nicole directly pulled down the window.
"Get on!"
Fernanda was slightly stunned.
She had just crashed Nicole's car lately and she didn't expect that Nicole got another car.
Fernanda knew that Nicole was from a wealthy family.
Fernanda became upset and felt a little bit inferior and annoyed.
After getting on the car, Fernanda glanced at Samuel, but did not see Samuel's face clearly because
she was sitting behind him. However, just by looking at his manner, she felt that Samuel must be a big
shot.
"How's Tim?"
Nicole did not know what Fernanda was thinking and directly said to her.
Although Nicole did not know how Fernanda was related to Tim, it was indeed Fernanda who called
just now, saying that Tim had a car accident and asking Nicole if she wanted to go there together.
Nicole immediately rushed over.
When Samuel heard about Tim's name, he was slightly stunned.
"Tim Louis?"
He subconsciously asked with attractive voice.
"Don't talk for now."
Nicole directly interrupted Samuel.
Seeing that Nicole was so nervous about Tim, Fernanda held her small hands tightly.
'Is it right to let Nicole go?'
'But, if I do not have enough money to pay the medical fee and Tim is seriously injured, Tim will be in
danger.'
Thinking of this, Fernanda bit her lower lip and said, "I don't know. When I got the call, I thought it was
a scam call and didn't answer. But the doctor just called me with Tim's phone and said that he was in a
critical condition and asked me to hurry to the hospital. Ms. Nicole, I'm a little scared. I don't have any
money with me. Can I borrow you some money to pay Tim's medical fees?"
Samuel suddenly frowned.
"Tim doesn't have enough money for hospitalization?"
Really?
Tim went abroad for treatment. Did he run out of his money?
Fernanda hurriedly shook her head and said, "No, he has money, but he is in a critical situation now. I
have to pay for him in advance."
"You don't need to borrow it. I'll pay for Tim. Which hospital?"
"Yokohama Hospital."
Fernanda thought as if it was Nicole's duty to take care of Tim after hearing it, and Fernanda felt even
more depressed.
In the end, she was still no match for Nicole.
No wonder Tim was still obsessed with her even if Nicole was married.
Fernanda bit her lower lip and lowered her head. Her eyes were turning red.
Nicole did not notice her expression and quickly headed to Yokohama Hospital with Samuel.
"Samuel, Nicole? Why are you here?"
Ashley looked at them in surprise.
Nicole was also surprised for a moment.
"You work here?"
"Do I need to work? The director called me and said that the operation on a patient having a car
accident was tricky. Coincidentally, I was in the Seapolis City, so I was asked to take the operation."
Ashley's words immediately reminded Nicole of Tim.
"What's the patient's name? Is it Tim?"
"It seems so."
Then Nicole grabbed her hand and said, "Please save him."
"What's going on? Who is Tim? You care about him so much! Samuel, are you sure you don't mind?"
"Tim is Nicole's cousin," Samuel said with a faint smile.
When Fernanda heard "cousin", she suddenly raised her head and looked at Nicole with surprise.
Cousin?
How could that be?
Only then did Fernanda realize that although Nicole was worried, the feeling was not love.
She suddenly became delighted.
Cousin!
Yes!
Tim was Nicole's cousin!
Did that mean she still had a chance?
Fernanda smiled.
Nicole anxiously grabbed Ashley's hand and said, "I don't know his condition, but it must be very
serious because they asked you to have the operation. You have to..."
"Alright, I'll do my best, OK?"
Ashley patted Nicole's shoulder and walked in.
Samuel glanced at Fernanda.
He noticed Fernanda's expression.
'Seems like Tim is going to have love affair.'
'Then I don't need to worry that Tim will steal Nicole's heart.'
Thinking of this, Samuel said to Fernanda, "I'll ask someone to bring Tim's bank card and you will know
the password. You can withdraw the money and pay the fee."
Fernanda and Nicole were stunned at the same time.
"Samuel, what do you mean? I told you, I'll pay for this."
Nicole felt that Samuel was too petty.
Tim was in danger, and they were cousins, so how could Samuel still not get along with Tim?
But Samuel said indifferently, "Tim has enough money for the treatment. I also know the password of
his bank card."
"How did you know?"
Nicole was a little surprised.
However, Samuel did not want to say anything.
"Don't worry about it."
Then he asked someone to bring Tim's bank card and hand it over to Fernanda.
"No, I can't use Tim's money without his permission."
Fernanda directly refused.
Samuel whispered, "Nicole and I are in a hurry to go here that we don't bring any money. You can't just
watch Tim staying outside the operating room just because he can't pay for the treatment, right? The
doctor who went in just now was the Greatest Global Scalpel. People all over the world are queuing for
her availability. Her operation is expensive and Nicole and I have a limit if we pay with phone, so if you
don't use his card, then the operation will... "
"I'll go immediately."
Hearing that the operation might not be able to continue, Fernanda hurriedly ran away with Tim's card.
Nicole looked at Samuel's smile and asked while holding her arms across her chest, "Samuel, what are
you up to? You are a CEO. How could you have little money for the operation? Why did you fool
Fernanda? Are you interested in her?"
"What are you thinking? Can't you see that Fernanda likes Tim? Stupid girl, I'm creating an opportunity
for Tim in case he is single in this lifetime."
Nicole was surprised by his words.
"Fernanda likes Tim? How do you know?"
"I notice Fernanda's attention is always on Tim. When she looks at you, she feels especially inferior
and depressed. You only worry about Tim and you surely won't notice her."
Samuel said with jealousy.
Nicole was speechless.
"He is my cousin."
"I know he is your cousin. If he weren't, I would have thrown him to the South Pacific. But don't worry
too much about the future. Now that someone is worrying about Tim, if you do too much, you will be
hated."
Samuel said and put his arm around Nicole's waist.
Nicole nodded. She understood, but she still needed to investigate Fernanda afterwards.
Fernanda quickly withdrew the money and paid the fee. She rushed over with sweat.
"Hasn't Tim come out yet?"
She was panting and staring at the operating room.
Nicole saw anxiety and worries in her eyes.
She suddenly became happy.
Fernanda looked really nice. Tim might not deserve Fernanda.
Nicole thought Fernanda was really a good girl.
"Not yet, but don't worry. Dr. Ashley is very experienced. It will be fine."
"Okay."
At this moment, Fernanda felt that she was useless. She could do nothing but waiting here.
Unlike Nicole, she had many friends, money, and a high status, so she could help Tim at any time.
Fernanda felt inferior again.
"After he comes out, I'll leave if he's fine."
"Why are you leaving? Please stay and take care of him. Fernanda, you know I have a child to look
after. Samuel is very busy at work and he doesn't have time to take care of Tim. Tim needs to be
hospitalized after the operation, right? The caregiver is not good enough, so could you please stay and
take care of him?"
Nicole grabbed Fernanda's hands and said sincerely.
Fernanda was flattered.
"But, but..."
"Alright, don't worry, it's decided. I'll ask a leave for your job at KFC."
Fernanda shook her head and said, "I just called to resign. I will stay and take good care of him."
"Thank you then."
Nicole smiled.
Samuel also put on a smile after seeing Nicole's face.
Tim went abroad and brought back a girlfriend. Good!
Although there might be some problems between Tim and Fernanda judging from Fernanda's reaction,
it didn't matter. He would try his best to get Tim and Fernanda together. Then no one would chase after
Nicole.
Samuel was lost in his idea and he did not realize that Nicole was looking at him seriously.
