Chapter 347
Chapter 347 Going Home
For five consecutive days, Nicole stayed at Julia’s research center, and after working day and night,
she finally regained her previouspetence.
Watching as Nicole moved her hands deftly, Julia breathed a sigh of relief. Staying by Nicole’s side
while she conducted surgeries, she could feel the adrenaline rush of being on the surgical table even
though she was just an assistant.
“Nicole, I didn’t think that you’re still so well-trained even when you haven’t conducted any surgeries for
years,” she said with a giggle.
Looking at the stitched-up wound, Nicole smiled faintly and replied, “Although I haven’t held a scalpel
for a long time, I still have muscle memory. I can’t forget the way I move my wrists.”
Checking the time, Julia saw that it was already Monday evening, and Nicole would be going to the
Gardner’s ce to check up on Benedict tomorrow.
“Take a rest for a while, Nicole. You’ll have a tough battle tomorrow,” she said.
For some unknown reason, she felt like she had aplished something, as though a huge war had
just ended.
Nicole nodded, feeling relieved. Despite the exhaustion in her mind, her body was very rxed, as if
she had let go of all weights.

“Yeah, I haven’t been home for a few days, and Hayden is probably missing me. I’ll go home now and
take a good rest. Tomorrow, you’reing with me to the Gardner’s.”
Nodding, Julia agreed. “Okay, got it. With me around at the Gardner’s, no one will bully you.”
Listening to her promise, Nicole couldn’t help but chuckle, and she reached out to tap the tip of her
nose, saying, “Alright, you better take care of yourself. I’m no pushover, and I won’t let anyone shove
me around.”
Seeing how confident she was, Julia swallowed all the things she wanted to say in the end. Just as
Nicole had said, given her personality, nobody could guess who would be on the short end at the end
of the day.
After leaving Julia’s research center, Nicole raised her head and stared at the sky she hadn’t seen for a
while, heaving a huge sigh of relief.
Tomorrow, I’ll first do a full-body checkup for Old Mr. Benedict. After that, I’ll arrange for the surgery,
and hopefully, it can be approved smoothly.
Back at home, Hayden threw himself straight into her arms. With guilt in her heart, she stroked his
head and said apologetically, “Hayden, I’ve been too busy these past few days and neglected you.
Don’t be mad at me, okay?”
Clutching her clothes tightly with his tiny hands, Hayden remained in her arms for a long while before
he lifted his head and said, “Mommy, I know you’re going to save Great-grandpa, so go ahead. I’ll be a
good boy next to Miss Whitney.”
Constion washed over her heart as she gazed at her sensible son, and she stroked his head as she
gave him a nod. “Okay. Once the issue with your Great-grandpa is settled, I’ll free up some time to
spend it with you.”
Nodding obediently, Hayden stared at the dark circles under her eyes and felt his heart wrenching.
“Mommy, you should rest,” he said in a sorry voice. “It’s not good to be so tired.”
It was true that Nicole was a little tired, and she turned to Whitney. “Whitney, sorry to trouble you. I’m
drained, so I’ll take a rest now.”
When Whitney saw hering home encapsted with an air of exhaustion, she knew that she was
beat, and she nodded. Picking up Hayden, she said, “Miss Nicole, go ahead and do what you need to
do. With me around, Hayden will be fine, and we can talk about everything else once you’re free.”
Whitney’s words set her mind at ease, and she turned to her own bedroom.
It had been a long time since she rested well. For the past few days, the pressure weighed her down
like a huge mountain, and she couldn’t rx for even a second. Finally, she could rx for a little bit
now.
