After several more assurances, Davina reluctantly agreed, urging Nicole to take care before ending the call.


    After ending the call, Nicole nced up to find Rhett still present.


    “Mr.


    Bates, you can head home now.


    I’m feeling much better and should be able to manage on my own soon.


    ”


    Nicole didn’t want to burden Davina further, especially knowing she had been working hard.


    Feeling improved, she felt capable of handling things independently.


    But Rhett countered, “That won’t do.


    Besides, you’ve already mentioned someone would take you home.


    Leaving you behind was not an option.


    I should drive you home to ensure you’re safely back.


    ”


    Nicole couldn’t suppress augh at his reasoning.


    Rhett’s cheerful demeanor wasforting, and his presence was oddly rxing.


    “Alright then.


    ” Nicole relented.


    She had already relied on his kindness, so allowing him to assist until the end seemed fitting.


    Considering a token of gratitude for Rhett, Nicole pondered that money seemed too impersonal, and she doubted Rhett would ept it.


    She resolved to select a thoughtful gift instead.


    Rhett maintained a professional demeanor, rarely epting anything beyond his agreed fees.

    However, Nicole felt indebted to him for his numerous acts of assistance.


    As the IV drip concluded, Rhett summoned a nurse to remove the needle and then fetched a wheelchair for Nicole.


    Observing the wheelchair, Nicole hesitated, stating, “Is that really necessary?” Feeling considerably better, she didn’t believe she required it.Content rights belong to N?velDrama.Org.


    However, Rhett insisted.


    “It’s better for you to sit.


    It would be inconvenient for me to provide support, and the wheelchair offers more convenience.


    ”


    Rhett respected personal boundaries, refraining from unnecessary physical contact, a quality Nicole appreciated.


    His actions were always impably bnced.


    Thus, Nicole acquiesced and settled into the wheelchair as Rhett guided her toward the elevator.


    However, just as the doors opened, amotion erupted from behind.


    “Make way! Make way…” a voice called out.


    Before Rhett could maneuver, a male nurse hurried through the corridor, apanying a visibly intoxicated man.


    The intoxicated man emitted a strong odor of alcohol, unmistakably inebriated.


    Deciding against sharing the elevator with the drunk man, Rhett turned to Nicole, suggesting, “Let’s wait for the next one.


    ”


    Nicole concurred with a nod as Rhett started to guide her away.


    However, before they could retreat, the intoxicated man unexpectedly lunged toward Nicole.


    In a protective reflex, Rhett raised his arm to shield her.


    The intoxicated man seized Rhett’s arm, sinking his teeth in.


    “Umm… Yummy…” he mumbled incoherently as he bit down.
