In an attempt to move out of the bed after their passion-filled evening, Nicole lifted the quilt. But upon realizing her state of undress, she immediately dropped the fabric and pulled it tighter around her body.
A dark shade of scarlet flashed across her face with embarrassment as she stole a glance towards the man she was quickly falling deeper for. She heard him chuckle as he shook his head with endearment at her sudden move.
"My silly girl, there's no need to hide. As I recall, I have seen every part of your body."
He shot her a quick smirk, while she buried her head under the blanket. Scooping her up in his arms, he walked towards the bathroom to let themselves take a quick shower. In no time, they've finished getting ready and headed for the hospital.
As soon as they walked through the glass entrance, Nicole heard someone quarreling at the door of the emergency room. She stopped and looked at the direction of the commotion.
A familiar voice rang through her ears as the argument continued.
Her vision was lined with the figure of Fiona Zhao being dragged by a man towards the health institution. She seemed to be fighting against her companion, struggling to break free but ultimately failed.
Following his woman's gaze, Kerr spotted Fiona.
His hold on her hand tightened, which led to Kerr asking Nicole if she wanted to aid the helpless woman.
He still remembered how the woman made things difficult for the one he cared for.
"It's not my problem, I don't want to get involved."
Nicole shook her head calmly and held Kerr's hand, walking towards Jay's ward.
She wasn't a saint. There were things that she could never tolerate and what happened in the past was one of them. She chose to let go of what happened before, but befriending Fiona was out of the picture. It was better to go their separate ways.
In the emergency room, Fiona was shoved on a chair by the man, bloodstains marred the dress she wore.
"Doctor, please examine this woman. I need to know if she's pregnant."
The man looked at the doctor, with his tone laced with anxiousness.
"Sir, this isn't a medical emergency situation. Please proceed to the outpatient department to help you with your problem."
The doctor gestured to the woman and suggested their supposed course of action, looking indifferent t
r thought nor had it ever crossed his mind that he would leave her one day.
"No, it's not that, sweetie. Don't think about it too much. It's just temporary. I wouldn't want to leave you at all if it was possible. Forget it. You can just pretend that I didn't mention it. Dr. Su said you can already be discharged from the hospital. Would you like to go to the celebration party with me tonight?"
Nicole reached out to hold her son in her arms and comforted him.
She also didn't want to be apart from Jay. No matter who would help her to take care of Jay, she couldn't help but be nervous; she was always worried about her little boy. She could clearly feel the fear of Jay, which convinced her that she had never given Jay enough sense of security with her love for him.
She owed it her little boy so she couldn't let him leave just because she wanted to be with Kerr.
"Mommy, I will be a good boy,"
Jay clung his arms around his mother's neck and said in a fearful tone.
"You've always been a good boy, sweetheart, it's all my fault,"
Nicole murmured, her face full of guilt.
In the cafe, Sunny handed Fiona and Gregory an envelope.
"This is the reward for you. After it is done, there will be a large sum of money transferred to your account. I hope you will not let me down."
Looking at the greedy eyes of Gregory and Fiona, Sunny was full of disdain, but she didn't show it on her face.
"Of course, Miss He. Don't worry. We know what we should do. Even without your help, we are looking for an opportunity to get revenge."
