It was a sleepless night for Samuel, who managed to shield the ward from the turmoil outside. Audrey remained unconscious in bed, and Nicole was safe and sound.
When the sun shone in the next morning, Nicole woke up.
When she saw the coat on her, and she knew that it was Samuel's. She was bewildered. Why did she fall asleep?
Nicole knew that she couldn't sleep at all, but she drifted off. She got suspicious, but she didn't have time to figure out.
She came out of the inner room and saw Samuel clean Audrey's face.
He took good care of her as if she was his mother, which moved Nicole.
"I'll do it."
Nicole hastily took over.
This was not something a man should do!
However, Samuel said indifferently, "Go wash up first. If someone comes, I'm afraid you don't have time to wash up."
Nicole knew well who he was talking about, and she was going to ignore that person. However, they were in the hospital, and Audrey was unconscious, she thought she'd better not get into trouble.
Nicole went to the bathroom and washed herself up. When she came out, Mrs. Don had arrived.
When she saw Nicole, she had an angry look on her face, but she didn't fly into a fit this time.
That took Nicole by surprise.
"I heard that you kicked Viola out of the ward last night. Is that true?"
Stifling hard her emotions, Mrs. Don asked Nicole.
"Yes," Nicole said indifferently.
"Don't you know that she is a patient? Why can't you have a good talk?"
Mrs. Don told herself not to get angry. The person in front of her was her own granddaughter, and she couldn't get angry with her anymore.
However, her tone was harsh somehow.
Nicole turned grim again.
"Mrs. Don, if you think I treat her badly, please watch over her. Don't ever let her come to me for humiliation. Isn't that the best way?"
Mrs. Don turned gloomy.
"Grandma, it's all my fault. Don't blame my sister. I just want to see my mother. Even she doesn't care about my life, I can't leave her alone after all, can I?"
Viola came in without being noticed. When she heard Nicole, she put on her pitiful mask.
Mrs. Don's heart ached at the sight of Viola's delicate and pitiful face.
"Viola, it's great that you don't blame your mother. Your mother didn't mean to do it. Don't take it personally."
"I won't, Grandma, I know that my mother is having a difficult time. Nicole wouldn't forgive her, which left Mom no other choice."
Viola again managed to draw the attention to Nicole.
Nicole thought Viola kept pestering her like a persistent fly.
She sneered. "Haven't you learned your lesson from that kick yet? Do you want another kick?"
Shuddering in panic, Viola hid behind Mrs. Don and said pitifully, "Nicole, don't do this. I mean well."
"Beat it!"
Nicole didn't even bother to show due respect.
Thinking Nicole was rude and arrogant, Mrs. Don got angry.
"Nicole, you are the eldest daughter of the Don family and the wife of the Greens, but that doesn't mean you can't throw your weight around like this. Look how frightened Viola is. You are her elder sister, so why can't you treat her well?"
Nicole looked at Mrs. Don coldly.
The old lady suddenly felt something strange in Nicole's eyes.
She recalled that when she suffered a stroke and got hospitalized, Nicole treated her differently. She was worried about her, and the concern in her eyes was sincere.
Why did they become enemies now?
Mrs. Don's heart softened.
"Nicole..."
"I don't want to be your granddaughter. Stop forcing me. To be honest, I can kick you out since you kept looking for trouble. Don't force me to do that. If you think I'm an eyesore, go out with your Viola now. Don't ever show up in front of me. It's good for everyone."
Nicole interrupted Mrs. Don flatly. She didn't want to hear anything from her. The more she listened, the more her heart was hurt.
Mrs. Don tensed up.
Over the years, the Don family was well respected, and no one dared to speak to her like this.
However, her own granddaughter was disobedient and unfilial, who sent her round the twist with disrespectful words.
Jason grabbed her hand and said, "Mom, you go out first."
"You ask me to go out after she spoke to me like this?"
Mrs. Don felt that her son had changed as well. Why did he go against her?
Jason whispered, "Audrey is still unconscious. Do you think it proper to have a row right here?"
