Chapter 1060
"Thank you, Mom." Nicole said politely.
"What's with the formality? Are you still mad at me?"
Gloria knew she had been unfair to Nicole by being protective of Norah at her expense.
"No."
"Nicole, you can't blame me for defending Norah.I know she is pretty timid, even as a kid.She has always been cautious about everything and have always catered to the whims of others." Gloria explained.
"I understand your position."
Nicole accompanied Gloria as she worked in the kitchen, and after a while, Nicole returned to the living room.
"Are you guys done? Dinner's ready."
At the table, Gloria looked at Nicole and asked, 'Has Mr.Johnston Sr.woken up yet?"
"Nope, not yet," she replied, having to answer the same question once again.
"He hasn't? Well, that doesn't bode well for him." Gloria sighed and continued eating.
"Quit blabbering in front of the children.Mr.Johnston Sr.is showing signs of recovery," Daniel quickly added.
Nicole went on to explain.
"Mom, it's not as grim as you think."
"I'm sorry.I know next to nothing about the situation." Gloria a flashed her daughter a bashful smile and placed a piece of Nicole's favorite dish onto her plate.
"Thanks, mom."
Nicole smiled and proceeded with the rest of her meal.
Meanwhile, at the hospital, Jared ordered, "Claus, hire someone to monitor the surveillance, and notify the men guarding outside the ward immediately should you come across any individuals of dubious character.
Check and verify the identities of anyone who enters the ward, and inform me if you notice anyone behaving suspiciously."
"Aye."
Jared glanced at Mr.Johnston Sr.again before he whirled around and left the ward.
