Chapter 3010
"Thank you," Nicole expressed her gratitude with a warm smile as she thanked Jared.
"Dig in," Jared said, gently smoothing her hair before heading out of the room.
Nicole, slightly puzzled but not dwelling on it, started eating. She was genuinely hungry and also eager to rest early.
Right after finishing her dinner, Jared returned with a cup of tea.
Nicole couldn't help but laugh, "I'm full now."
"The weather's cold, have some ginger tea," Jared softly suggested.
Only then did Nicole realize he had gone out again to make ginger tea. Taking the cup, she sipped the warm tea.
Jared affectionately ruffled her hair, "Go rest now."
"You're not resting?" Nicole asked, a bit puzzled. She wondered, ’Isn't he going to sleep?'
"I've still got some work to do," Jared mentioned, giving her a quick kiss on the forehead and patting her shoulder, motioning for her to head to bed.
Nicole planted a peck on Jared's cheek. "Okay, you better get some rest too. Goodnight."
Nicole thought that her search for Patricia might have interrupted Jared's work, so now he had to get back to it.' No wonder he came to the hospital to pick me up.'
Seeing her lying down as instructed, Jared smiled warmly. He cleared the table and grabbed his laptop to finish up the remaining tasks.
As the day started, Nicole gradually opened her eyes and peeked at Jared.
He was still asleep, likely having stayed up late the night before.
Filled with warmth, Nicole softly touched his cheek but stayed put in bed. Instead, she nestled closer to Jared's arm, happy to stay peacefully beside him.
These calm moments were precious to her. She found solace just being with him.
