Chapter 220 Is That Because Of Money


    Judy was discharged from the hospital after another week.


    On the day when Judy was discharged from the hospital, Jacob wanted to pick up Judy, but was


    refused by Nicole. She was afraid that something bad would happen to her mother again when her


    mother saw Jacob. Although Jacob felt ufortable being rejected, he could understand.


    Instead ofing, Jacob sent a car. The spacious andfortable SUV was much better than the


    narrow taxi seat for the patient.


    "Mom, be careful." Nicole carefully helped Judy get in the car and fastened the seat belt for her.


    Then she sat down in the back seat with Jim.


    After the car started, she turned on her phone and sent a message to thank Jacob.


    Jacob didn''t reply immediately. After waiting for a few minutes, Nicole thought that he must be busy, so


    she put the phone into her pocket and concentrated on taking care of her mother in the front passenger


    seat.


    Because it was in the morning and it was not lunch time, there were few cars on the road and the road


    was smooth. After a while, the car arrived at the ce and stopped downstairs.


    Nicole helped Judy get off the car, and Jim ran to open the door. Judy got out of the car and said the


    first sentence after she was discharged from the hospital. She said to Nicole, "Nicole, We haven''t paid


    the fare yet."


    Hearing what Judy said, the driver quickly bowed and said, "Mr. Gu has already paid the fare. There is


    no need to give it again."


    Nicole didn''t expect the driver to be so straightforward. She looked at Judy quickly for fear of making


    her angry. But to her surprise, Judy didn''t say anything. Just Her eyes changed and she turned around


    to go upstairs.


    "Mom, slow down." Gritting her teeth, Nicole held her mother''s arm.


    Back home, Judy went to bed. Nicole stayed at the bedside for a while and nned to cook some


    dishes for Jim.


    She looked at her mother''s gaunt and sallow side face and sighed.


    Just as she stood up, she suddenly heard her mother speak.


    "Nicole."


    Hearing that, Nicole was stunned. Then she looked at Judy and asked, "mom, are you awake?"


    Judy kept silent. Nicole continued, "Mom, are you thirsty? Let me get you a cup of hot water." "Sit


    down." Mrs. Du stopped [暖暖], "sit down. I have something to tell you."


    "Mom..." Nicole was frightened by Judy''s serious expression. She was timid, but she could not disobey


    her mother. She had to sit on the edge of the bed and looked at her mother with fear. "Mom, tell me..."


    She knew that what her mother was going to talk about. It must be something about Jacob.


    Because she knew, she was more afraid.


    She was afraid that her mother wouldn''t agree.


    Judy pressed her lips and asked, "I went to the hospital for an operation before. You told me that the


    money was borrowed from your ssmate, right?"


    "……" Nicole didn''t expect that her mother would mention this matter at once. She lied to her mother,


    and it seemed that her mother had guessed it.


    "Actually, the money was from Jacob, right?"


    "…… Mom... "


    "You said you found a job, but you went to Jacob''s ce, didn''t you. The car that came to pick you up


    was sent by Jacob, right? Making video, watching TV, and so on... "


    Nicole interrupted Judy, "Mom, I made the video myself. It has nothing to do with Jacob."


    Judy nced at Nicole coldly, "what about your clothes and jewelry showed on TV? None of them has


    anything to do with Jacob?"


    Nicole remained silent.


    Judy''s eyes were filled with anger and confusion, but more disappointment. "Nicole, if it weren''t for the


    fact that Jacob''s mother came to me and let me know what happened between you and him, how long


    will you keep it from me?"


    "…… Mom, I''m sorry. " Many words of exnation blocked Nicole''s throat, but she could not say a


    word.


    "Was that why you divorced Austin?"


    "No." "I divorced Austin. It has nothing to do with Jacob," said Nicole. I met Jacob again after I divorced


    Austin and when I went out to look for a job. "

    Judy fixed her eyes on Nicole. After making sure that Nicole didn''t lie this time, she continued, "then,


    you are with him?"


    Biting her lips, Nicole didn''t say anything. Although it was not the case at that time, she didn''t want to


    refute. Because...


    "Or, are you with him again because you want to collect the surgery fees for me?"


    "No!" Nicole shook her head, "no, it''s not because of that. It''s me. In fact, I like him very much. When


    we met again, you were sick, and the members of Austin bullied us like that. I... "


    Judy closed her eyes, as if she didn''t want to hear any more. "Well, that''s enough."


    Looking at her mother''s attitude of resistance, Nicole thought that Jacob had persuaded Albertan.


    Since Albertan was so cold, she should be able to persuade her kind mother.


    After a long while, Nicole spoke again.


    "Mom I really like Jacob. " Nicole held Judy''s hand and said word by word solemnly, "besides, Jacob


    also likes me. We love each other."


    "In fact, I didn''t mean to lie to you. You are not in good health, and I am afraid that I will anger you, so I


    didn''t tell you. Mom, you know me well. I''m not that kind of person who covets vanity, nor hurt my family


    for a man. I really don''t want to make you angry, but I didn''t expect that you would have a rpse


    because of me again. I really feel bad these days. "


    Nicole said a lot in one breath. She couldn''t help but burst into tears and hit her mother''s hand.


    Judy shook her head helplessly and raised her hand to wipe Nicole''s tears.


    "Well, forget it. Let''s stop talking about it."


    "But Mom, i... "


    "I''m tired."


    Hearing what Judy said, Nicole restrained all her emotions at once. She held back the sadness and


    unwillingness in the bottom of her heart and nodded, "Mom, have a rest. I''ll cook for you and call you


    for dinnerter."


    "Okay."


    Nicole was afraid that she would lose control and burst into tears if she stayed one more second. Biting


    her lips, she tucked Judy in, turned around and left the bedroom quickly.


    Outside the bedroom, Jim''s face was full of disbelief.


    "Sister..." Looking at Nicole''s tearful face, Jim asked slowly, "is what you just said true?"


    "What?" Nicole was at a loss for words.


    Jim looked aggrieved and indignant. "Did that man give you the money? Including the money I have to


    pay for the ident. Did he give them all to you? So, sister, was that because of the money? Don''t you


    like him? "
