Nicole stood outside the ward. Just as she was about to open the door, she saw Tim walk out.
Tim suddenly didn't know how to confront Nicole.
Nicole didn't expect to see him, but said with a smile, "You're here. Is Maia still sleeping?"
"Yeah. You came to see her?"
Tim knew he had asked a silly question.
Of course, Nicole came to see Maia, not him.
"Please come in. I'll go wash my face."
Tim walked past Nicole.
But she stopped him.
"Tim."
He stopped but did not turn around.
Recalling what had happened yesterday, Nicole looked at him. She patted Tim on the shoulder and whispered, "I hope you can be happy. Maia is a good girl, but if you marry her without telling her the truth, I will feel very sorry for both of you. When Samuel recovers, I will go beg Morgan. As long as Morgan agrees to cure Maia, I believe that she will definitely be alright."
Tim turned to look at Nicole, feeling stunned and complicated.
What was he supposed to say?
As Maia's future fiancé, Tim should be happy and should thank her. But as a man, he felt sad.
It turned out that Nicole didn't want him and Maia to have any emotional entanglement.
He had always been a burden to Nicole.
After a pause, he whispered, "I thank you on behalf of Maia. But Samuel should be your priority. In the past, I hoped he would never wake up, but now I hope that he can recover. I once hoped I could be with you and make you happy. You don't want it. You and Samuel love each other so much. I wish you well."
"Thank you for being so considerate. I will always remember you for that. Tim, you will always be a good friend of Samuel and me. We will do whatever we can to help you if you need. I don't want us to drift apart because of your relationship with Maia. You know, Samuel and I will treat you the same."
"I know."
Tim was upset.
"I'm going to the bathroom. Take care of Maia."
With that, Tim strode away.
Nicole stared at his back, knowing that she might have hurt Tim again. She only hoped that Maia could make Tim happy. She wanted to see his bright smile.
With a sigh, she went inside.
Maia was still sleeping.
Nicole looked at her. She was so lucky to meet Maia.
At first, she only knew Maia was dedicated to work and her professional performance was great. So, Nicole promoted her to manage the company. She did not expect her to be so generous and straightforward.
Nicole knew they would be good friends for the rest of their life.
She gently pushed away her hair from her forehead.
Maia suddenly opened her eyes. When saw Nicole, she was slightly stunned.
"Lady Bush? Why are you here?"
"Don't move. Lie down. You're sick. You shouldn't move around."
Nicole hurriedly stopped her and signaled her to lie down.
Maia scratched her head embarrassedly and said, "I'm fine. I'm not sick. Plus, I grew up in countryside. I've always been sturdy. I'll be fine in a few days."
"Nonsense, how could you be fine? I saw everything you did for Tim. Thank you, Maia."
"It's not a big deal."
Maia was not used to it.
She scratched her head at a loss.
Nicole looked at Maia and whispered, "Tim is a poor guy. He seems to be domineering. But deep down inside, he is lonely and sentimental. He will repay even the slightest kindness. He just doesn't know how to express his emotions. So please be more tolerant."
"Sure. But I don't want him to repay me. I just didn't want him to be taken by Alexia. By the way, what happened to Alexia and Liam?"
Maia asked.
Nicole said with a smile, "Don't worry. They have been arrested by the police. They probably won't be able to come out of the prison."
She did not tell Maia how Tim took revenge on Alexia. For a sunny girl like Maia, it was better not to let her know it.
"That's good. But our project will be delayed."
"It doesn't matter. I'm not in a hurry. Take your time. It's not that easy to open up new markets. Don't be anxious. Besides, Tim is here to help you, isn't him?"
Nicole said.
Maia bit her lips and said, "Can I do it on my own?"
"Why? Did Tim do anything to you?"
"No, I think that he is too kind to me. I'm not used to it."
Hearing that, Nicole laughed.
"You think too much."
They chatted for a while, but Tim didn't return. Nicole knew he was avoiding her.
It looked like he probably wouldn't show up before she left.
Nicole understood. Departure was the worst.
Nicole thought for a while and said to Maia, "I have to go back with Neil. Samuel is waiting for me. I can't stay here for too long. Your medical bills are covered by the company since you were hurt at work. Just rest assured and let your wounds to heal. As for the new project, there's no rush. I will be waiting for you until you recover."

What is it with Chinese authors.
