Billionaire's True Love is a Surrogate Mother 88. At the Hospital
Nikkie's POV"Richard...," I called weakly. My eyes, which had been closed, opened forcefully to hear Richard's cry. He sounded terrified and panicked. Richard breathed a sigh of relief. His gaze looked very sad. "Please stay with me," Richard's whisper sounded heartbreaking. He hugged my body tightly to his body, and I suddenly felt something warm and liquid on my forehead. Amongst the pain that wracked my entire body, I could still think if those were Richard's tears. If so, why isn't it me who is in pain?The scenery outside the car window was moving fast, making me nauseous. Not to mention that my eyelids felt very heavy to keep open. But I didn't want to make Richard even more panicked and sad, so I forced myself to stay awake. I never thought that Richard would come to save me. When he appeared, breaking down the front door like a superhero with the sunlight behind his back. I felt like I was dreaming.Or like my dreams and hopes had come true. But when I discovered that Rich

Richard's POV"Richard!" exclaimed Nikkie irritably. I chuckled happily, leaving Nikkie in the room while I finished the paperwork. I didn't forget to ask one of the nurses to look after Nikkie until I returned. I was really grateful that all my fears didn't happen. After this, I would tighten my guard for Nikkie and keep her at home as much as possible. My mind drifted back to when Nikkie asked me to buy food this afternoon. Never in my life had Krystal worried about me in the same way that Nikkie did. I no longer had time to feel hungry because of all the surprises and stressful events that had just passed. But Nikkie, whose condition was full of wounds, still managed to remember that I hadn't eaten anything for the past 20 hours.The longer I lived with Nikkie, the more stunned I became by her excellent qualities. It made me even more convinced that I did have more feelings for her."Ready to go home?" I asked Nikkie after finishing the paperwork. Nikkie nodded enthusiastically.

Nikkie's POV"Nikkie!"I jerked awake when I heard someone shouting my name loudly. I didn't recognize the owner of the voice. The sight I saw after I woke up was something I didn't recognize. I was in a vast green meadow on a summer afternoon that didn't feel hot."Where am I?" I asked in astonishment. I looked around but found no one but myself. "Hello? Is anyone here?" but I did something else stupid, shouting. After waiting for a full minute, no one answered me at all.I looked down at myself in a calf-length, short-sleeved white dress made of silk that fell beautifully."Why does this look like a wedding dress?" I muttered, looking at my dress. The cut of this dress reminded me of Richard. Most of the dresses he bought for me were cut like this."Wait. Richard? Wasn't I with him earlier?" I asked again. I walked forward, ran, and walked again when I felt tired. Surprisingly, I couldn't find the end of this meadow. I felt tired and fearful at the same time. The sunlight in this

Richard's POV"Nikkie, please wake up. Don't you miss me? Nikkie, our child...," I couldn't continue. My words were stuck in my throat, painful, and I could only swallow them back.Nikkie had been unconscious for three days. Her body, which was already covered in wounds from the kidnapping, was now even more frightening as it was adorned with bandages everywhere. I wiped away the tears that were dripping down Nikkie's cheeks. The doctor said she was in a coma. I had to call and talk to Nikkie often so she would wake up soon. For the past two days, Nikkie has been crying a lot. I don't know what she saw in her dreams."Did you have a beautiful dream? That made you want to stay there? Or did you meet our baby?" I asked quietly. My hand moved to hold Nikkie's slightly cold one, then gave it a lengthy kiss. My tears fell on her hand, which was free of IV needles. Instead, there was a bandage on her arm. All in all, the accident we had was pretty horrible.Miraculously, neither of us suf

Nikkie's POV"But that makes me unable to accompany her. She's all alone because her mom cannot take care of her. I shouldn't have provoked Krystal. I should have been more patient, at least until the baby was born ...." I whimpered. Then I just cried silently. Richard climbed onto my bed with awkward movements, then positioned himself next to me so he could hug me tighter. I soon realized the strangeness. Just like me, Richard was not okay either. He had many small cuts and bruises on his face. I glanced at Richard's legs and found that they were tightly bandaged. My heart was racing. "What happened to you? What happened to your leg?" I asked quickly. Richard smiled faintly, his lips looking pale. "It's okay. I just sprained my foot a bit," he said calmly, as if a sprain wasn't a big deal!No wonder Richard seemed to be having trouble climbing onto the patient bed where I was lying. I again scanned him well from head to toe."Calm down, I'm fine. You see, I'm even off the IV?" s

Richard's POV"Taking a shower? Do you need the nurse's help?" I asked in a surprised tone. It had been three days since Nikkie woke up from her coma. That meant it had been six days since we had been in the hospital. Since she woke up, Nikkie had been devastated. Nikkie was mentally unstable. She didn't even have any awareness of her surroundings. And couldn't recognize other people in the usual way. She could only remember me. Several times, Grandma, Aunt Karina, and Uncle Denise came to visit us when Nikkie was awake.But Nikkie didn't show any positive response. She even looked like she didn't realize that there were other people besides the two of us in this room. "Your wife is in post-accident shock and has lost her baby. For the time being, we will give her a sedative injection so that she can rest.If your wife is unconscious for too long, it is feared that she will experience psychological tension. Of course, that is not good for her health," explained the doctor who injec
Last Updated : 2024-05-14Billionaire's True Love is a Surrogate Mother 94. Nikkie; Where Should I Go?
Nikkie's POV"Finishing what?" I asked quietly. Everyone in the room suddenly fell silent. Even Richard looked awkward, scratched his head embarrassedly, and then turned to enter the bathroom without answering my question. I was forced to follow the woman called Aunt Karina. She smiled kindly at me, helping me to sit on the bed carefully. Previously, I couldn't pay much attention to the three guests. Since waking up from the coma, my mind had never been clear. The only human I could still recognize well was Richard.Now, after taking a shower, I seemed to have regained my full human consciousness. My mind no longer felt filled with fog, and my understanding of my surroundings gradually became normal.I still looked awkwardly at Aunt Karina. On the contrary, she didn't look awkward with me at all. She turned on the hair dryer stored in the drawer, then turned it on, and casually, she helped me dry my hair.I quickly declined. "No, I can do it myself," I said awkwardly. Unfortunately,

Richard's POV"I'm leaving first. Call me if you need anything. Or when you miss me, call me," I told Nikkie.Nikkie's cheeks instantly flushed at my flirtation. "Don't push yourself too hard, remember your leg isn't fully recovered," Nikkie instructed. I nodded and kissed Nikkie's cheek before turning around to get into the car.Nikkie waved goodbye with an increasingly flushed face. It was time to return to the routine after taking a break for over ten days after the accident."Has Shawn given a full report yet?" I asked Calvin. Right after Nikkie regained consciousness and went into a psychological state of shock, that was when I gave Shawn a new order.That was to investigate and find evidence about the culprit who got us into the accident. Although I had suspected that Krystal was the brain behind the accident, this suspicion would be meaningless if it wasn't backed up by solid evidence.After giving instructions, I turned off my cell phone. I delegated all office duties to Calvi

Billionaire's True Love is a Surrogate Mother 108. Until Death Do Us Part
Nikkie's POV"Sick? What's wrong with Krystal?" I asked in surprise. The TV didn't mention any details about Krystal's illness. I remained pensive until the news ended and changed to a sports program.Richard turned off the TV to realize that I looked unfocused. I started to realize something was wrong when I saw that Richard didn't look surprised at all or even concerned at all."You must know something, right?" I urged Richard. Richard let out a long sigh, then stroked my hair with a helpless look."What's the point of caring for a bad guy like that?" asked Richard, looking less than pleased. I shook my head stubbornly, waiting for him to speak."Be honest with me. You weren't involved in Krystal's death, were you?" I urged frantically.Richard sighed. "From my reports, Krystal has been sick since before she entered the prison. The TV report was real. She suffered from a malignant disease in her reproductive organs due to her habit of changing partners."I frowned, a conjecture popp
Billionaire's True Love is a Surrogate Mother 107. The Wedding
Nikkie's POV"The bride enters the altar!" the MC exclaimed. This time, Calvin was assigned to be the MC in our wedding procession.As the name implies, it was an intimate wedding only attended by those closest to us. There were 4 of Richard's family members, including Richard's biological mother, Shawn, Calvin, Sharon, Blake, and the household assistants. The wedding preparation went quite fast because there were only a few people. The blessing and the party were held in the hall of Moonstone mansion. I stepped with Uncle Denise towards Richard at the end of the altar. This day was full of happiness, with smiles never fading from everyone's faces. I haven't seen Richard since last night, and I'm feeling nervous. How will Richard see me in my wedding dress?When Richard turned around and accepted my hand from Uncle Denise's, Richard's eyes were suddenly wet. He smiled, and the tears just fell.I'm sure that they weren't tears of sadness. We then said our wedding vows in front of the
Billionaire's True Love is a Surrogate Mother 106. Self Contemplation Results
Nikkie's POV"I don't know either. My coming to this place wasn't planned. I didn't know where to go after my mom died. I also didn't have a home anymore and only had my suitcase and the money from the sale of the house that my mom gave me before she passed away. I boarded a bus randomly, letting it take me wherever it wanted. Throughout the ride, I cried alone by the window. Then, when I was tired of crying, and my tears dried up without realizing it, I arrived in this city. I took it as a sign from my mother that I should stay here. I then spent two days in a cheap hotel and looked for affordable apartments and part-time jobs. I was lucky to find both right away.From the first day of work, I never stopped working. My days off were spent sleeping or doing laundry. Because, you know. I have to work to support myself," I laughed.Shawn looked at me with interest. "You know, you can stop working and be provided by Mr. Richard completely," he said with a serious face.I laughed amuse
Billionaire's True Love is a Surrogate Mother 105. The Deep Talk
Nikkie's POV"Besides, you might think that way. Mr. Richard is a forgiving person. Shouldn't he forgive Mrs. Krystal based on that trait? Even if they can't get back together, Mr. Richard should never think of cutting off the core pleasure of his ex-wife's life: the money. Their company."Shawn stopped talking when the waiter arrived with our order. The thin, flavorful smoke of the food that would typically instantly whet my appetite now meant nothing. My mind was filled with questions."Are you saying that Richard was the mastermind behind exposing the rottenness of Krystal's company?" I asked after the waiter came back downstairs.Shawn nodded. "I did it all. But I was carrying out the orders given by Mr. Richard. The message was obvious, which was to destroy Goldman Inc. until it could not rise again."I was stunned by Shawn's words. "But why? Doesn't Richard love Krystal? I honestly didn't even think Richard would follow through on his words to divorce Krystal," I said, astonish
Billionaire's True Love is a Surrogate Mother 104. Shawn Finds Nikkie
Nikkie's POV"Miss Nikkie! Hold on!" a man exclaimed in an absolute tone. Goosebumps ran down my spine, recalling the time I was almost kidnapped when I was going to buy flour when I was still living in Krystal's apartment."Miss Nikkie! Have you forgotten me?" this time, the man even dared to pull my arm. Gosh, did he forget that we were in a supermarket full of people? Even now, there were already several pairs of eyes looking at us with suspicious glances.When I remembered that I wasn't alone this time, I glanced at the man who dared to pull my arm. He was a tall man with big eyes that reminded me of a CCTV camera."Shawn?" I asked incredulously. Shawn nodded with a smile. There was a trace of relief on his face that made me wonder why he looked relieved.Until I remembered that Shawn was usually not far from Richard, I glanced around, then out the window. But I didn't see Richard or his car parked in the self-service parking lot. "I'm alone, came here by car. No, Mr. Richard her
Billionaire's True Love is a Surrogate Mother 103. The Selfishness of Mayer Goldman
Richard's POV"Since you mentioned it, I've been thinking about it. You're right; Krystal's male mistresses all have something in common with me!" I exclaimed in disbelief. My eyebrows knitted together, an oddity crossing my mind. "But I don't understand; what do you mean by Krystal loving me so much? Just because I have some things in common with those men?"Calvin explained again. "From a study I read, it was explained that love is complicated. The way each person loves another person and expresses their feelings is unique and different from one another.Some of them cannot distinguish love from obsession to the point that they commit deviant acts.But I won't talk about deviant acts here."Calvin paused momentarily as he overtook a car in front of us."There seems to be an emptiness in Mrs. Krystal's soul that makes her look for an outlet outside the home. It could be loneliness or an unhealed childhood wound.Or it could be that Mrs. Krystal is wrong for thinking that she doesn't
Billionaire's True Love is a Surrogate Mother 102. Encourage Jeremy to Cooperate
Richard's POV"Did you try to find out from the real estate agent? Shouldn't it be traceable to the person who bought the house?" I suggested to Shawn an idea that came to my mind this morning."I've already done this method first. But this house was sold about a month ago by Miss Nikkie's mother. The payment was made in cash, making it even more difficult to check through the bank," Shawn said on the other end of the line.My eyebrows furrowed at this oddity. "Why is Nikkie's mom selling the house all of a sudden? Is she in dire economic straits?" "I found out through the nurse you assigned to look after Miss Nikkie's mother. The answer is they are not experiencing economic hardship.The nurse mentioned that Miss Nikkie's mother had mentioned that she wanted to move to the countryside, which is why she is selling her house now," Shawn explained.I let out a long breath. Who would have thought that Nikkie's mother would move to heaven? "Why can they still live there when the house h
Billionaire's True Love is a Surrogate Mother 101. Krystal's Grandfather's Suspicions
Krystal's POV"What are you going to do now, Krystal? You can't run a company, and now you're officially a widow!" Grandpa exclaimed in a high-pitched voice.Why does everyone always ask me the same thing? Do they think I have 1001 solutions to every problem?I nibbled on my thumbnail, feeling depressed at seeing the divorce papers lying on the table. Grandpa wasn't helping at all, just pacing around, making me even more dizzy! I held my nose, which had been bleeding a lot lately. Ever since I hit Richard's car that time, I'd been feeling unwell.Unfortunately, I didn't have time to go to the hospital to get my health checked. Why? Of course, because of my current status as a police fugitive!Grandpa suddenly stopped pacing when he got a call from who knows who. Shortly after, he turned his body to face me. The look of anger he had shown me lately no longer frightened me.Usually, he would immediately spout out curse words. But now, Grandpa seemed to have run out of words and could
Billionaire's True Love is a Surrogate Mother 100. Richard: A Misunderstanding
Richard's POV "Let's head back," Shawn commanded Calvin. The three of us quickly entered the car and drove away from Nikkie's hometown.It was already late when Calvin dropped me off at home. I felt like my energy had been sapped, and I didn't have the power to do anything else."Tomorrow, take a day off. I'm not going to the office either," I told Calvin as I was about to get off.Calvin had been with me all day and even late into the night. These days, he didn't even have a day off as he was busy assisting me with various matters."Yes, Mr. Richard. Good night," Calvin said before walking away with Shawn. I staggered towards the front door. I don't know why it felt like the front door was so far away to reach.Halfway there, the front door suddenly opened. The figures of Grandma and Aunt Karina, wearing quilts on their shoulders, immediately came into my view."Oh, Richie. What's going on? Why do you look so messy?" the two women immediately ran to meet me. My tears fell again when
