Nicole smiled at Zoe, “Zoe, look!”
“Wow, it's apple!”
Zoe smiled in delight.
Zoe loved apples, but she was not allowed to have as much as she wanted because of her kidney disease. Sometimes she was only permitted to have only one.
So she felt so delighted when seeing apples.
“Though you can have some apples now, you still need to be limited in number as you just went through operation.”
“Mommy, come on...” Zoe pouted.
“lam doing this for your health. Listen to me, okay?” Nicole stroked her head gently.
“No...” Zoe tilted her head sullenly.
“Well, you can have one third of an apple.”
“Okay.”
Finally, they reached consensus. Then Nicole peeled 1/3 of an apple for Zoe.
Laurel said to the carer beside her, “Watch Zoe. I need to go out to have a talk with Nicole.”
Nicole was a bit surprised upon hearing that. But she said nothing and smiled at Zoe again. Then she left the ward with Laurel.
Laurel let her to the conference room which was organized by her.
Nicole didn’t know the conversation between Soseph and Laurel, but she felt nothing wrong for what she had done. So she had been determined she would never admit her fault even blamed by Laurel.
Seeing the stubborn and repulsive look on her face, Laurel sighed, “Nicole, you are the wife of Samuel and also the hostess of Night Elf Empire. Why not restrain yourself?”
Hearing that, Nicole raised her head to look at Laurel with a sullen face.
“Don't stare at me like that! You are now a mother of two kids and you are even jealous of a young girl like Soseph? Though she might be a bit infatuated with Samuel because of his handsome look, you should be more confident of yourself.”
Nicole was a bit aggrieved.
“No, Ms. Laurel! Soseph told me she had feelings for Samuel and she wanted him. I told her she could ask anything from me except Samuel. After all, she saved Zoe, but...”
“You have no idea what to do? You are the hostess of Night Elf Empire, and you were pissed off by a girl and you even wanted to slap her! You should know you are wrong about this matter.”
“You know I didn’t hit her yet.”
Nicole was overwhelmed with grievance. She did not slap Soseph, but she was also scalded by the hot water splashed by Soseph. She didn't want to make Zoe worried, so she went out to change her clothes and put on a light make-up.
But the make-sup seemed to sting her face and she felt burning hurt.
However, she still managed to hold back her urge to tell Laurel the truth, in case she would be blamed by Laurel for being narrow-minded.
Laurel seemed to notice her grievance. She sighed to persuade her, “You should know about what you should do then. After all, Soseph is still the savior of Zoe. It's our duty to treat her well.”
“Okay.” Nicole replied.
But she felt her face itching.
She couldn't help but scratch her face, but it still felt badly hurt.
“Don't move.” Laurel seemed to notice something wrong.
Nicole stood still.
Laurel got closer to look at her face. Then she said with a bit of anger, “Look at you! You face is getting allergic to the make-up and it's burning red. Get rid of the make-up! Or you will ruin your face!”
“Remember, Samuel will always love you no matter you are good at putting on make-up or not. Now get to get rid of the make-up and consult the doctor for suitable ointment.”
Nicole felt pretty aggrieved, but she was aware that there was a big problem with her face.
The hot water scalded her face and the make-up made it even worse.
She said nothing but ran to the doctor's office.
Shaking her head, Laurel made a call to Samuel.

What is it with Chinese authors. The characters are slow, he finally opened his mouth, it took him so long just to say two words...the house keeper would have put the person out before he even spoke....is this really how people are over there..the characters are always lost in thought, they might as well live in their heads.....
