The doctor smiled. "Ms. Quimbey's body is fine, but there are still residues of the injected drugs in her body. It'll take eight to nine hours for her to fully recover. She’s also a little feverish, but we've given her a shot for that, so her fever will subside in a while."
Nicole and Julie sighed in relief.
It seemed like they went there in time.
After the doctor left, the two of them sat there, looking at Yvette who was lying there in a daze.
She seemed to be cursing someone in her dreams. She was scolding Sean.
They vaguely heard words like "scumbag" and "go to hell".
Nicole and Julie exchanged a smile. If another person experienced this, they might feel so agonized that they would want to die.
However, Yvette only thought about revenge!
Less than half an hour later, Clayton rushed back.
Nicole looked at the logo of the lunch box he was carrying. It looked like it was from a famous private kitchen.
People usually did not even have the chance to get their number to make a reservation, but Clayton made
them get up in the middle of the night to cook for him?
Before Nicole had a chance to ask about it, Julie's sharp eyes noticed it.
"Don't you have to book food from this restaurant well i n advance? You actually went to them?"
Clayton smiled, gentle and calm.
“Everyone has worked hard, and there's a patient too, s o you should eat something good. It just so happens that I'm friends with the owner of this restaurant, so it wasn't hard for him to cook up something."
Clayton put it on the table. "I asked him to make two servings. Leave one for Ms. Quimbey to eat when she wakes up, and you two can eat the other one."
How could Nicole not be proud of such a considerate boyfriend?
Julie was moved by his actions and decided to take back what she said to Nicole about being more vigilant.
Clayton even helped Nicole take the cutlery out. He stopped just shy of feeding her himself.
Nicole sat there, wanting to find a hole to disappear into.
It was fine when he acted like that normally, but Julie was present as well. Did he not know how to hold back a little?
