Chloe spoke intermittently, and Nicole didn't interrupt, listening attentively. Chloe's concerns were not unfounded, but…
"Chloe, don't fret. Roxanna won't misconstrue your intentions, but it's natural to feel distressed." Nicole gently patted Chloe's shoulder, her voice soft and comforting.
Chloe nodded, resolved to lay everything bare to Roxanna once the truth emerged. However, she harbored doubts about Isaac's suitability for Roxanna. She feared that one day, Roxanna might remain oblivious even after being deceived by Isaac.
"Get some rest—"
Nicole's words were cut short as she was suddenly seized by a wave of nausea. Sensing she was about to vomit, she hastily dashed to the bathroom.
Two hours of respite seemed to be her limit. She was suddenly grateful that she hadn't suffered from morning sickness during the earlier meeting. That would have been mortifying.
"Nicole!"
Chloe, noticing Nicole's morning sickness, quickly followed her, arriving just in time to see Nicole hunched over the toilet, retching.
She frowned slightly. Had Nicole been enduring this every night? Why hadn't I noticed it?!
After a bout of retching and vomiting, Nicole finally felt somewhat better. She rose, panting, and met Chloe's worried gaze.
"It's alright, Chloe." She smiled faintly, trying to reassure Chloe.
"Even now, you're still trying to comfort me. Have you been suffering through this alone all these days?" Chloe asked, her voice laced with worry. Despite being preoccupied and exhausted from work, she had shallow sleep, so she should have been able to hear Nicole under normal circumstances. However, she had never been roused.
If that was the case, it meant that Nicole had been trying not to disturb her, even when she was feeling unwell.
Reflecting on this, Chloe felt even more distressed.
Nicole saw the concern etched in Chloe's eyes. She knew that her actions would upset Chloe if she discovered them, but she couldn't disrupt Chloe's sleep every night.

What a waste of reading! This could have been an excellent novel if it hadn't skipped chapters after 531 and then everything is garbled. Get your act together if you still want a reading audience!!!...
