My Wife Act Differently Behind Me novel Chapter 1230

Chapter 1230 "Am I that petty of a person to you? Why would I be angry with you?" Mr. Johnston Sr. smiled at Nicole, and was seemingly more energetic after seeing her.

"He won't be angry with you, but he'd just ask me 'where is Nicole' whenever he sees that I'm visiting him alone. He just misses you," Jared voiced Mr. Johnston Sr.'s thoughts out.

"Why are you even saying that?" Mr. Johnston Sr. looked at Jared, embarrassed.

"Yeah, grandpa is the most generous man alive." Nicole smiled at Mr. Johnston Sr.

Mr. Johnston Sr. was amused by Nicole's remark.

"Nicole, after you came, I realized that grandpa's mood got a lot better than before. He even looks much more energetic now," Jared said, amazed.

"Is that so? I didn't know I had the power to lift people's spirits up." Nicole teased, making fun of herself to make Mr. Johnston Sr. laugh.

"How do you feel now? What did the doctor say?" Nicole returned to the main point of discussion and asked in the most caring way possible.

"Grandpa has recovered a lot and he can perform some basic activities now, but he's still unable to get down from his bed yet," Jared began.

"The doctor said that he has to rest for another month or so before he can get off the bed and try moving around." Jared was relieved as he explained this to Nicole. 'Grandpa can, and will recover.'

Nicole was surprised as she did not expect Mr. Johnston Sr. to recover so rapidly in such a short span of time.

"Grandpa is recovering well, indeed. His progress is a week ahead of what I had expected. I can tell that he's been in a good mood and has been getting enough rest." Nicole smiled at Mr. Johnston Sr.

"Yeah, you're right. I feel energized these days too."

"Nicole, aren't you supposed to be abroad? Why are you back all of a sudden?" Mr. Johnston Sr. looked at Nicole with his brows furrowed as he did not understand why she had come home so suddenly.

Jared and the rest of them did not tell Mr. Johnston Sr. anything about Martin's factory's fire. In fact, they did not even show him the news.

Nicole did not know about this, but Jared did not have to tell her either." I'm back here to take care of some stuff. Besides, it's been some time since I've visited you."

Nicole looked at Mr. Johnston Sr.'s current state and decided that it would not be wise to bring anything negative up and ruin his mood. As such, she shared a collective thought with Jared, in that she would not make any mentions about the fire.

Jared gave Nicole a piercing look, as he did not expect her to share such a strong, near-telepathic connection with him.

"I know you're busy and I suppose that Jared has been harping about this for a few times now, but you have to take care of yourself." Mr. Johnston Sr. said, looking at Nicole.

'I will," she replied.

"So, did you come back to take care of the fire that had started in Martin's factory, Nicole?" Mr. Johnston Sr. stared at Nicole, energetic as ever.

"How did you know that, grandpa?" Jared and Nicole exchanged looks.
