Chapter 432
Chapter 432 Break Up
Betty must have dreamt of what happened in the past. She called out for Madeline to run; what did that
mean?
Nicole looked at Betty with a trace of anxiety on her face.
However, Betty’s eyebrows knitted together even more as confusion covered her face. Although she
was the one that had spoken, she didn’t have the slightest memory of it. Thus, she looked at Nicole as
she shook her head helplessly.
“Nicole, I…I really don’t remember…”
Nicole looked at Betty’s pain-stricken face as she struggled to find the words to say. The doctor
mentioned that with Betty’s current situation—because of the medication—she would be driven mad if
she were forced to remember things.
Because of this, Nicole did not dare to pressure Betty any longer and swallowed her doubts before
saying in resignation, “Ms. Betty, don’t think about it if you can’t remember. Take a good rest, and stop
thinking about it.”
Regardless, Betty kept pping her head as she looked at Nicole guiltily.

“Nicole, I really can’t remember why I told Madeline to run.”
Nicole looked at Betty’s agonized appearance and hurriedly stepped forward tofort her.
“Ms. Betty, stop thinking about it. You can tell me again once you’ve remembered.”
Betty finally nodded wearily, and her distraught face rxed a little.
“All right. I will try my best to remember it, Nicole.”
Just as Nicole was about to converse further with Betty, she suddenly received a call from Julia. For
Julia to call thiste at night, so it must be something important.
When Nicole answered the call, she immediately heard sobbing from the other end of the line.
“N-Nicole…Sob…” Julia burst into tears as soon as she spoke.
She was wailing so loudly that her dignified persona was long gone.
Nicole immediately realized something was amiss and quickly asked, “Julia, what’s wrong? Why are
you crying?”
Julia sobbed and sniffled before saying, “Nicole…Richard wants to break up with me.”
Her voice was trembling as she spoke, holding a trace of grievance.
When Nicole heard this, a strange look appeared on her face. Weren’t the young couple just happy
with each other before this? Why would Richard suddenly ask for a breakup?
“Did something happen? Nicole asked.
Julia had cried until her voice turned hoarse, and she helplessly said, “I-I don’t know either.”
This made Nicole frown. Logically speaking, Richard wasn’t such a person. He wouldn’t ask for a
breakup without a proper reason.
Nevertheless, she was still worried that Julia might do something stupid. So, she said her goodbyes to
Betty and hurried to Julia’s house.
In the darkened room, the curtains were drawn, and none of the lights were on. A woman was curled
up on the couch. The air was quiet; only the sounds of the woman choking and sobbing echoed in the
room.
When Nicole pressed the switch, the room instantly became lit. Then, she stepped forward and looked
at Julia, who was hugging her knees as she cried herself senseless.
“Julia,” Nicole called out softly.
Her impression of Julia had always been this happy-go-lucky person. The two had been friends for
many years, yet Nicole had never seen Julia this sad before.
When Julia heard Nicole’s voice, she raised her head slightly. Julia didn’t know how long she had been
crying; her reddened eyes were swollen like two walnuts. She looked like a pitiful mess.
“Nicole…”
Nicole stepped forward and noticed the tissues scattered around her, presumably used to wipe Julia’s
tears and snot. Nicole felt a little troubled when she regarded Julia, who was entirely immersed in her
despair.
“Julia, all right now. Don’t be sad anymore,” Nicole pulled Julia into her embrace andforted her.
Although Julia gritted her teeth and blinked, tears still fell from her eyes like a string of pearls from a
broken ne.
“Nicole, I don’t understand why Richard suddenly broke up with me. I thought we were fine—”
