Jarrod had made it clear that the fruit delivered was always fresh, but the hospital room’s temperature wasn’t ideal for storing it, so any leftovers at the end of the day would be thrown away.
Reflecting on it, Le felt it was a shame to see so much fruit wasted daily.
After Nicole’s genuine offer, Le realized it would be stubborn to decline.
She smiled warmly.
“Thank you, Miss Lawrence.
”
Nicole assured her it was no trouble at all.
From that moment, their rtionship deepened.
The next time Le came to work, she excitedly told Nicole how her son had loved the fruits, dering it the best he’d ever had.
Le’s words were filled with a simple, infectious joy.
Nicole looked on with envy.
ALl she had ever wanted was that simple kind of happiness.
One afternoon, when the bodyguards were away, Nicole seized the opportunity to ask Le a favor.
“Le, could you help me by delivering a message?”
“Who should I deliver the message to, Miss Lawrence?” Le asked.
Before her shift began, Le was tasked with closely observing Nicole’s every word and action, reporting everything back to Jarrod.
This was Alec’s instruction to Le.
She didn’t dare to disobey, but she would choose what to report during her shifts.
Nicole answered, “My husband.
”
Le was taken aback.
“Your husband? Then Mr.
Schultz is…”
Nicole exined that she had been forced into this situation by Jarrod, and their rtionship wasplicated.
Jarrod was determined to tear her and her actual husband apart.
Telling the whole story of her past with Jarrod would take days, so Nicole simply gave Le the main points.
In her heart, Roscoe was her only husband, and if she were to marry, it would only be to him.
Le was shocked to hear this.
She had always believed Jarrod was Nicole’s husband.
After all, he had always been there for her, even acknowledging himself as her husband when the doctor asked for the patient’s family.
So that wasn’t the case… This fragile young Nicole was truly deserving of pity.
“Why don’t you go to the police?” Le asked and then felt a bit foolish for even asking.
Jarrod was no ordinary man.
Going to the authorities would likely prove useless.
Nicole offered a wry smile in response.
“I’ve tried everything possible.
”
Seeing Nicole’s drawn, pale face and the sharp contours of her chin, Le felt a surge of sympathy.
“Then how can I help you?”
Nicole felt a surge of hope.
She hadn’t nned to deceive Le from the beginning.
She simply saw kindness in Le and decided to take a chance.
Surprisingly, her risk seemed to be paying off.
Le’s kindness allowed Nicole a brief moment of forgiveness toward fate.
“I believe he’s being treated here as well, but I’m not sure which room.
Could you please find out where Roscoe, the young master of the Watts family, is staying?”
Nicole suspected Roscoe might be in this hospital because it was the best in Ardlens.Exclusive content ? by N?(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
Considering the Watts family’smitment to Roscoe’s well-being, they would naturally choose the best hospital, particrly famous for its orthopedics department.
The odds were good, about ny percent, that Roscoe was here.
