Chapter 1409
Nicole looked at Harvey, who had done this painstakingly for her, and could only nod her head in approval. Seeing this, the corner of his lips lifted into a slight smile. His efforts were not in vain, after all.
"Take it slow, I'll support you," Harvey lightly held onto Nicole as he walked her to her sick bed.
"Look at this. You can see Jared here. Now, have some proper rest. There are people standing guard outside. If anything happens, you can call for them," Harvey said.
"Alright, you should go home. No need to worry about me. I know my condition. I can take care of myself," Nicole looked at Harvey with a lifeless expression on her face.
"Okay, then I 'll be leaving. If there is anything, you must tell me. I'll come and see you again tomorrow," Harvey looked at Nicole and reluctantly made his way to the door.
Even as he was reaching the bend in the corridor, Harvey was still worried and from time to time, he would stop in his tracks. Then, he turned around and walked out again.
After about half an hour, a nurse, who was pushing a medical trolley, entered the room, treading lightly as she went. When she saw that Nicole was still wide awake, she said, "You should rest easy, Miss Riddle. We have nurses on duty and will be making rounds for the rooms every hour. Nothing will happen to Mr. Johnston."
"Mhm," Nicole watched as the nurse checked up on Jared and changed his medication.
After the check-up, the nurse went on to assure her that everything was normal. Then, she slowly pushed the medical trolley away. Before leaving, she urged Nicole to get some rest once more. In response, Nicole shot her a single glance and gave her a slight nod, whereupon she continued to stare at Jared's face.
The following day, Harvey came in early to bring Nicole her favorite breakfast as he went to the sick ward.
"Have she woken up?" Harvey looked at the bodyguards and asked them.
"Not yet," one of them answered.
Then, he carefully pushed the door open and walked in silently to place the breakfast on the table.
