Nicole's thoughts mirrored Lucy's.Having finally decided to divorce and leave Travis, she didn’t want any circumstances pulling them back together."Mr. Graham, since Miss Miller is eager to care for you, surely you don't need your ex-wife?"Travis responded without hesitation, "Of course I do! She's a society princess - she can't handle the dirty work. You can."Though she no longer loved him, it still stung to hear the man she once loved say she was only good for menial tasks.True, she came from a modest background with a troubled family, but she had worked hard to get into Harvard Medical School and had earned a full scholarship. She didn’t consider herself inferior to any socialite.In fact, she took pride in her self-reliance, having become an expert in cardiovascular and neurosurgery, leading major national projects. Nicole Spencer had earned her success!Yet after all these years, even if not as spouses but almost family, Travis still looked down on her.Nothing hurts

Travis's face darkened as his hands gripped the hospital sheets, his eyes blazing at Nicole.Nicole found his anger baffling."Just give me your answer - yes or no? If no, I'm leaving."With Lucy here, Nicole wasn't worried about Travis being left alone.Travis grew even angrier at her impatience. "What's the rush? Who are you meeting?"Lucy wasn’t stupid—she had observed the exchange and understood what was happening.Travis seemed deeply bothered by Nicole's departure, and even more so by the thought of her with other men.This only meant one thing—Travis cared about Nicole. Only strong emotions could fuel such anger.Lucy clutched her wheelchair's armrests anxiously, giving Travis a gentle smile. "Travis, darling, Nicole's clothes are soaked. She'll catch a cold if she stays like this. Let her go change, please?"Travis scoffed, "She's tough enough. A little water won't make her sick."The thought of Nicole possibly meeting Alexander made him determined to keep her in his

By college, she'd managed to save six figures. But between her father Richard's regular extortion and her mother Helen's major surgery two years ago, her savings had dwindled pathetically to less than $10,000.During their three years of marriage, Travis hadn't given her a penny. Even on their anniversaries, he'd only bought her a few drugstore lipsticks.Everyone envied her marriage into wealth, but only Nicole knew the harsh reality of life in this golden cage.Yet Travis, as her husband, confidently believed Nicole should be grateful to the Grahams. He was convinced that everything she had was solely due to his family's generosity.So naturally, he felt entitled to her care and attention when he was ill."Travis, how sad that after all these years, we never really understood each other. Fine, I'll care for you as you demand. But right now, I need to change my clothes."Nicole had been standing under the air conditioning vent, and she had begun to shiver.The doctor had warned

The fine ceramic bowl shattered on the floor with a sharp crash.The food spread across the tiles, its aroma filling the air.Nicole looked at the food she'd bought from the restaurant, feeling oddly relieved.At least she hadn't wasted hours cooking for Travis like she used to.Lucy watched the scene with secret delight while feigning shock. "Travis, that was food Nicole worked so hard to make for you!"She turned to Nicole with fake sympathy. "I'm so sorry, Nicole. Travis is only acting this way because he's unwell. Please don't take it personally."Nicole inwardly scoffed - Lucy had already said everything. What was left to say?"It's fine. I just picked it up on my way here. If Mr. Graham doesn't want it, that's that. I won't buy any more - no point wasting food. You know, there are starving children in Africa. Wasting food like this could send you to hell."Travis had regretted knocking over the bowl the moment he did it.But his nascent remorse vanished when he heard Nic

The attending physician's face twitched at Travis's words. With his hands tucked into his white coat pockets, he was about to give this arrogant CEO a piece of his mind when James begged him to discuss it outside.When he saw James's pleading expression, the doctor swallowed his anger and followed James out.Nicole went after them."Doctor, what if we paid $5,000 per night for the private room?" James negotiated."Absolutely not! We're severely short on beds! Your boss is taking up a four-person room all by himself - it's completely wasteful! Hospital administration has ordered me to free up the room today!""How about I contact the hospital director directly to discuss this?""The director was clear - the room must be vacated today, no matter the money offered! We can't prioritize your wealth over other people's lives! Other patients need proper hospital care too!"The doctor, having worked his way through medical school on scholarships and part-time jobs, particularly resented

Nicole didn’t respond to James and instead walked straight back into the hospital room, took out her phone, and started recording, pointing the camera at Travis."Mr. Graham, there are three elderly patients outside, and you have exactly three empty beds in this room. Please agree to let them move in."Travis looked into the camera, slightly narrowing his eyes."What are you doing?""There are three elderly patients who need beds. As the CEO of Graham Corporation and someone known for charitable work, I'm sure you would agree to such a request."Nicole knew Travis cared deeply about his company's interests. He would never allow anything to tarnish its reputation.Travis slowly straightened up, his handsome face darkening. "Are you threatening me?""Travis Graham, the youngest CEO in the history of Graham Corporation, is not just an ambitious business leader but also a passionate philanthropist," Nicole paused deliberately. "If I'm not mistaken, that was the praise from a major b

"Your ex-husband?' The elderly patient looked utterly surprised, casting a sideways glance at Travis. 'Why are you still taking care of him and tolerating his attitude after your divorce?"Sometimes, blunt words carry deep wisdom.Nicole secretly chuckled, watching Travis's face turn green with anger.Lucy quickly tried to explain to the elderly man, "One day of marriage means a hundred days of kindness. Besides, Nicole was once part of the Graham family…" Her voice trailed off before she could complete “adopted child.”"Miss, forgive me for being direct, but what exactly is your relationship with Mr. Graham?" the patient asked sharply, cutting her off mid-sentence.The question left Lucy speechless. She looked expectantly at Travis, hoping he would clarify their relationship verbally.Of course, she hoped for the answer she wanted to hear. After all, Travis had divorced Nicole, and if he truly loved her, he should publicly acknowledge their relationship.Noticing Lucy's silent,

Lucy heard the familiar voice and felt a wave of relief.Casting a seemingly casual glance at Nicole, she called out tearfully, "Mom!"An elegantly dressed middle-aged woman entered, walking rhythmically in high heels.However, rather than going to Lucy, she strode straight toward Nicole.Nicole's heart sank.Simultaneously, she recalled Lucy's meaningful glance from earlier, and a sense of foreboding swept over her."Slap!"A loud, crisp sound rang out in the hospital room.Immediately after, the sound of a miniature hearing aid falling to the floor followed.Nicole's face turned to the side, her left cheek burning with pain."This is what happens when you bully my daughter!" the woman spat, her tone sharp with indignation.Standing with arms crossed, her elegant face wore an air of superiority typical of those in power.Her black hair was perfectly coiffed, her makeup immaculate, a luxurious gold necklace adorning her long neck.Designer handbag, dress, earrings...

Listening to Richard's distorted version of events, Helen turned pale with anger and hurt."You're lying! You deliberately tried to hurt Nicole!"Caught red-handed, Richard ground his teeth, his eyes almost shooting flames of rage."You wretched woman, you're trying to destroy me! Just you wait!"Experienced with countless cases, the police officer quickly understood the situation.He handcuffed Richard's feet and pushed him against the wall. "Hands up, face the wall!"Richard was cunning. He knew better than to resist the police, as it would harm his future prospects.So he complied with everything, simultaneously explaining that he had only accidentally injured Nicole, absolutely not intentionally harming her.The police asked him to calm down, then turned to Nicole to confirm Richard's story.Nicole spoke firmly, "Officer, my mother can testify that Richard not only tried to harm me but wanted to kill us both. I urge you to press charges. If you don't, I'll pursue legal act

The bottle flew through the air, about to strike Nicole. Helen mustered all her strength to push Nicole away."Bang!"The bottle exploded on impact.Helen felt no pain on her body.But her heart ached as if a piece had been torn out.Because Nicole had shielded her with her own body.The bottle crashed directly into Nicole's arm, shattering on impact.Helen felt Nicole's body tremble, and her own heart nearly broke.She tried to turn Nicole's body with her good right hand but couldn't move her.Tears streaming, she begged, “Nicole, let mo… let me see how badly you're hurt. Let me see!"Feeling unworthy of being a mother, she struggled to even call herself "mom."Nicole straightened up, covering her bleeding shoulder, and smiled, "I'm fine. Just a surface wound. I'll just bandage it."Seeing Nicole trying to comfort her, Helen's heart sank further, and her tears wouldn't stop.She looked at Richard with desperate rage, screaming, "She's your own daughter! How could you do t

Seeing Richard's horrifying face appear in the hospital doorway, Helen instinctively shouted, “Nicole, run! Quickly run!"After years of experiencing a man's brutal behavior, she was determined to prevent her daughter Nicole from falling into this monster's hands."Run? Run where? If you're not remarrying Travis, you're not going anywhere!" Richard blocked the door with his drunken body, resolute in preventing Nicole's escape.When he first learned that his abandoned daughter had married into the wealthy Graham family, Richard had laughed triumphantly, believing he'd finally found a cash cow.He knew that despite Nicole's seemingly cold attitude toward Helen, she deeply cared about her mother's well-being.Whenever he called Nicole and let her know Helen was injured, she would obediently send him money.This tactic had worked flawlessly for years.But Richard was never satisfied."The Graham family is worth billions, and you're giving me just tens of thousands? Are you trying t

From the moment Karen entered, arrogantly slapping Nicole and then stomping on her hearing aid, Travis had remained coldly detached throughout.Or at least, that’s how Nicole saw it.She had long stopped expecting anything from this man.But when he demanded she apologize to Karen, who had slapped her, Nicole's anger surged from her chest. "Apologize? Absolutely not."Her indifferent gaze swept over Travis’s chiseled, shadowed features before settling on the elderly patient.She walked over and said gently, “Sir, I'm leaving now. Take care of yourself, and thank you."The elderly patient, already frail with a weak heart, had been too intimidated by Karen’s aggression to speak up earlier.Hearing Nicole's thanks, he felt slightly ashamed for not being more helpful.Nicole shook her head, telling him that taking care of his health was most important.After saying goodbye to the patient, Nicole walked toward the hospital room door, never once glancing at Travis.Travis watched a
