Chapter 1600
Nicole suddenly felt that she was in constant danger and had brought harm to them all by extension.
"Nicole, please promise me this. If there's anything that you need, we will help you. We are a family. All of us will help you,” Daniel said as he eyed Nicole's look of embarrassment, trying to comfort her.
'I wasn't aware of her situation before, but now that I know, how could I let her live by herself?' he thought.
"Yes, bring Mrs. Wallace Sr. over and keep her protected as well," Gloria said.
Nicole was not only an agent, but she was also the bearer of the Fire Crest. Thus, it was inevitable that she would become the target of many others. Because of this, being at the Riddle residence would somewhat be the safer option. Still, Nicole could not believe that her parents had thought of Mrs. Wallace Sr.
"Okay, thanks Mom and Dad," she said.
It was not until today that Nicole felt that she had an actual spot in the family.
"Don't be silly. You don't have to thank us." Daniel frowned, pretending to be offended.
"Now that we have gotten it all settled, we will protect you no matter what from now on. To us, you're still that little girl of ours, and we will not allow you to face anything perilous on your own in the future. Do you understand?" Gloria said while wiping her tears away.
"Understood...," Nicole nodded as she looked at Gloria, feeling unspeakably moved in her heart.
But upon beholding her mother's complexion, she could not help but whisper, "Mom, I'm sorry. I must've scared you when I fired the shot..."
Gloria shook her head quickly, "You didn't scare me. Your mother isn't that weak. It was Norah...I was afraid she would take a shot at your father. Fortunately, you..." Gloria choked up and her eyes became red as she attempted to speak.
"Let's not talk about it anymore...I'm going to go upstairs and calm down for a bit. You guys can get Albert to prepare dinner."
'It seems that she no longer has any strength to make dinner tonight,' Nicole thought.
"Okay." Nicole nodded her head.
