Jacob's mother's words were like a slap on Nicole's face.
Indeed, if her mother knew that she was with Jacob, she would definitely be mad. And she still kept it
from her until Jacob's mother came to her.
It was not only a shame, but also anger and disappointment.
Nicole gave the phone back to Jacob feebly, walked back and sat beside Jim.
"Sister..." Jim called Nicole worriedly.
"I'm fine. I'm fine." Repeated Nicole. She leaned back against the cold wall, staring blankly at the white
ceiling.
It was her fault. She was so immersed in the so-called love that she forgot her mother who had been
kept in the dark.
If she had realized this earlier, she would have thought that Albertan wouldn't let it go and tried to tell
her mother about her relationship with Jacob. Maybe the result would be different.
After hanging up the phone, Jacob walked to Nicole, sighed slightly, put his hand on Nicole's shoulder
and pinched it.
"I'm sorry..." Jacob apologized in a low voice.
Nicole looked down at Jacob and saw his guilty look. She shook her head and said lightly, "you don't
have to say sorry. It's my fault. It's all my fault."
"Nicole, I will fix the problem with my mother. It won't happen again..."
"You can leave now. I don't want to hear you say that now." Nicole didn't want to hear what Jacob was
saying. She closed her eyes and showed a gesture of refusal.
Jacob stood still, looking a little hurt.
Jim took a look at Nicole and then at Jacob. He pushed away Jacob's hand which was on Nicole's
shoulder and looked at Jacob seriously. "You can go back first. I can take care of my sister." As he
spoke, he winked at Jacob, indicating him to leave first.
Jim had been guessing the relationship between Jacob and Nicole since the moment Jacob showed up
with Nicole. He sat quietly and looked at his sister, who had always been polite and alienated, getting
angry with this man. He guessed that this man was the boyfriend that his sister had hidden.
This man seemed to care about his sister very much. So Jim seemed to be persuading Jacob to leave,
but in fact, he helped him.
The less he said, the better.
"Well, I'll go back first. If you have any new progress, let me know." Jacob also understood what Jim
meant. He said with disappointment. Seeing that Nicole didn't have any reaction, he took out a
platinum business card from his suit pocket and handed it to Jim. At the same time, he winked at Jim.
Jim nodded without saying anything.
Jacob left reluctantly. Nicole felt sad, so did he. He said he wanted to solve his mother's problem, but
he had no idea how to solve it.
"Sister, he's gone." Jim said softly, holding Nicole's hand when he saw that Jacob disappeared at the
corner of the corridor.
Nicole finally opened her eyes and looked at the direction of the corridor, confused and helpless.
"Sister, mom will be fine. Don't worry." Jim added.
"I know. Everything will be fine."
Jim had a lot of questions to ask Nicole. He wanted to ask her something about Jacob, and what the
two of them had said on the phone, and what had happened to the woman who had made his mother
faint. But when he saw the fragile expression on Nicole's face, he swallowed all the questions.
The two sat on the bench until eight o'clock in the evening. The doctor opened the glass door and
called the family members over.
Nicole almost jumped up from the bench and walked quickly to the doctor. "Hello, doctor. I'm her
family."
The doctor nodded with a mask and said seriously, "the patient's condition is still unstable. She can't be
transferred to the general ward now. You can keep a family member in the hospital. We will inform you
at any time if anything happens."
"…… It's not stable yet. What do you mean? " Asked Nicole with difficulty.
"The patient was emotional before she passed out, which caused her heart rate to increase, blood
pressure to increase, and heart and brain spasm. It hasn't stabilized yet, so we need to keep an eye on
it. "
Nicole's heart clenched. She was so scared that she was afraid to hear the words she couldn't accept.
"So... It's not life-threatening, right? "
"Basically no, but accidents can't be excluded." The doctor said in a professional and vague way.
Hearing this, Nicole felt very uncomfortable, but she also knew that she couldn't lose her temper with
the doctor, so she had to suppress her heartache and asked weakly, "can I go in to see my mother?"
The doctor didn't sympathize with Nicole. He firmly refused, "No. The visiting time in the ICU is set in
the daytime. You can't visit her now. "
"But..."
"Sorry, this is the rule."
After saying that, the doctor went in. Standing at the door, Nicole was about to fall. Jim considerately
held Nicole and said softly, "sister, I'm going to buy something for you to eat."
Nicole remained silent.
Jim helped Nicole sit back on the bench, squatted down and said to Nicole, "sister, wait for me here. I'll
buy you something to eat."
"Wait!" Nicole suddenly came to her senses. When Jim stood up and was about to leave, she grabbed
Jim's hand. Astonished, Jim turned to look at Nicole.
"I'll go." Nicole stood up and said, "wait for me here. I'll go buy it."
Jim frowned with worry, "sister..."
"I'll go." Nicole repeated without any hesitation. She picked up her handbag and said indifferently, "you
stay here in case the doctor asks me to do something, I'll go to buy some food and a folding bed."
"…… Okay, take care. "
"I will."
Nicole let go of Jim's wrist and left. She was in a panic. She couldn't vent her anger in hospital. She
was afraid that if she stayed any longer, she would cry in front of the family of other patients and nurses
passing by occasionally.
So she wanted to go downstairs and leave for a while. Of course, she was also worried about Jim. She
didn't want Jim to go out of the hospital alone at night.
Nicole's legs were weak, and it was difficult for her to walk on the stairs, so she took the elevator
downstairs. She took a few steps out of the elevator and went out. The moment the cold wind blew on
her face, Nicole burst into tears.
She strode out of the hospital, tears streaming down her face. It was dark now. Although there were
street lights along the road, the light was not clear, so no one could see her crying.
In fact, even if someone saw it, even if Nicole cried loudly, it was understandable in the hospital.
Because the hospital itself was a mournful place.
