Nicole had barely lifted her foot to leave when Travis’s voice stopped her in her tracks. “You’ve got James and Miss Miller taking care of you. Isn’t that enough? I’ve got work to do.” Travis let out a cold snort. “Not enough! James has company matters to handle, and Lucy—she’s not feeling well. You know that.” Nicole found that amusing. She glanced at Lucy, who was sitting in a wheelchair, then checked her watch. With an early morning class tomorrow, she needed to be back on campus by 10 PM. “Have you eaten dinner, Mr. Graham?” Her tone was perfunctory at best. If he hadn’t eaten, she’d just grab something from the nearest convenience store for him. There was no way she was putting in the effort to prepare something fancy. “He…” James was about to say that Travis had already eaten when— “I haven’t.” Travis cut him off sharply. “Go get dinner for me and Lucy.” He leaned back against the bed, issuing the command like it was the most natural thing in the wor

Back when Travis used to flaunt his elite background and prestigious status, Nicole would always sink into self-doubt. The more insecure she felt, the more she was drawn to his arrogance. Looking back now, she realized it had all been a twisted desire—wanting what she couldn’t have, an obsession with strength and power. But now that those feelings had completely faded, she saw Travis for what he really was: an entitled, domineering man with an inflated ego and an outdated sense of masculinity. How the hell was I ever into someone this obnoxious? The more she thought about it, the more she wanted to slap some sense into her past self. “Mr. Graham, are you really not going to eat?” Nicole asked casually. If Travis and Lucy refused the food, she’d just take it outside and feed the stray dogs. There was no way she was putting in extra effort for these two. Travis’s jaw tightened. He pointed at the takeout boxes with undisguised disgust. “You call this food fit fo

One moment, Lucy had been sitting perfectly fine in her wheelchair. The next, she was sprawled on the floor. A swollen bruise had already begun to form on her forehead. Travis had just been about to chase after Nicole, but he was forced to stop in his tracks. With long strides, he quickly reached Lucy, scooping her up effortlessly and placing her on his hospital bed. “What’s with you? Why are you so careless?” His tone carried a mix of impatience and reprimand. Yet, even as he spoke, his eyes kept darting toward the doorway. Lucy bit her lip in frustration but quickly adjusted her expression to look pitiful and fragile. “Travis, I’m sorry,” she whispered. “I was just so worried about you. You said you were feeling dizzy—what if you collapsed outside in the middle of the night? I couldn’t just sit here and do nothing, so I tried to follow you.” Travis sighed. “It’s my fault for making you worry.” But even as he said the words, Lucy could see it clearly—his une

Lucy’s smile froze for a split second at Travis’s words. But in the end, she still gave him a sweet, obedient smile. “Alright, Travis. Take care of yourself.” Travis gave a nonchalant hum of acknowledgment. The moment Lucy was finally gone, he ignored the bandage still stuck to his chin, turned, and strode out of the hospital with long, urgent steps. He needed to find Nicole. His gut told him she hadn’t gone far. He remembered how, when they were younger, Nicole had always wanted to take in stray dogs whenever she saw them. William, worried about hygiene and safety, had built a pet shelter instead. Nicole had sent the strays there, and they were put up for adoption through online listings. With that in mind, Travis was almost certain—she must have gone out to feed the strays again. He quickened his pace, heading toward the alleys behind the hospital. There were plenty of street food stalls in the area, a common gathering spot for strays hoping to snatch sc

Nicole’s good mood vanished the second Travis spoke his completely unreasonable words.“Mr. Graham, how did you get here?” she asked, crossing her arms.“Obviously, I walked,” Travis replied without hesitation.Nicole’s lips curved into a smirk. “Well, if you had the strength to walk all the way here—and even argue with me—then you’re clearly fine. As the old saying goes, if you’re fine, take a few steps. And judging by the distance from the hospital to here, you’ve easily walked over a thousand steps. So, you’re not sick at all.”“I am sick!” Travis blurted out instinctively.The second the words left his mouth, he realized his mistake.His expression soured as he placed one hand on his hip, yanked at his tie with the other, and snapped, “I mean—I am not sick!”Nicole’s eyes glimmered with amusement, her gaze reflecting the warm glow of the streetlights.“Right, you just said it yourself. You’re not sick. So, you don’t need anyone to take care of you.” She tilted her head slig

“You dare call the cops on me?” Travis gritted his teeth. He never thought Nicole would even consider calling the police on him. Had he really fallen so low in her eyes? The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He was just about to argue when— Honk! A sharp car horn cut through the night. Travis turned his head and saw a BMW X7 parked by the curb, hazard lights flashing. The driver, a buzz-cut man wearing dark sunglasses, leaned out of the window. “Professor Spencer, hop in. I’m heading back to campus, I’ll give you a ride.” Nicole hadn’t expected Ben to show up just then. Without hesitation, she let go of Travis’s wrist and immediately put distance between them. “Thanks, Professor Wallace. I appreciate it.” Seeing that her ride-share was still ten minutes away, she quickly canceled the order, paid the penalty fee, and made a beeline for the BMW. Travis’s wrist was still aching from her grip. As he rubbed it, he overheard her accept

After a long, exhausting week, Nicole planned to spend her weekend visiting her mother. Though Helen was her biological mother, Nicole had never been able to call her “Mom.” And to her credit, Helen never forced the issue. Ever since they reunited, she had been careful not to push Nicole into acknowledging her as a mother. The medical examination results weren’t great. Her left arm, which had been broken by Richard, was out of its cast and undergoing basic rehabilitation exercises. Her body was covered in bruises, and scans showed internal bleeding from the beatings. She was still undergoing treatment and recovery. But that wasn’t all. “The patient is also experiencing hallucinations, anxiety, and depression,” the doctor explained. “We’ve adjusted her medication accordingly, but as family, you need to be there for her.” “Understood.” Nicole took the medical report from the doctor and walked to the restroom. There, she lit a cigarette. She had picked up

Nicole was so overwhelmed with emotion that she didn’t even realize her eyes had turned red. Helen froze at the sight of her losing control. After a long silence, she wiped her tears and cautiously said, “Nicole, don’t be mad. I promise—I’ll keep living. Okay?” Seeing the guilt and unease on Helen’s face, Nicole became aware of her own outburst. She quickly gathered herself, smoothing out her tone. “I’m not mad. I just don’t want you to leave me again.” At those words, Helen’s lips trembled. She covered her face with both hands, sobbing uncontrollably. When she had given birth to Nicole, she had been so happy. Even though she had married a man like Richard, she had still clung to the hope that life could be good. But she had underestimated just how cruel Richard could be. The moment he realized that Helen’s attention had shifted—no longer at his beck and call—he flew into a rage. And then, one day, he had taken their newborn daughter and dumped her next

Nicole thought she must have misheard him.Or perhaps she was dreaming.So when Travis said, "Nicole, settle down. Stay here. Let's live well together," she couldn't help but laugh coldly."Travis, do you even know what you're saying?""Just behave and I won't make things difficult for you." Travis clenched his fist."We're divorced. Saying these things now is meaningless." Nicole turned her head away, refusing to look at him."But isn't this how we've lived for all these years?"Nicole tilted her head back and laughed, her eyes reddening.Had this man forgotten how he had hurt her?"Fine. Untie me first, and we'll discuss this further." Nicole offered Travis a rare smile.Travis was taken aback by Nicole's sudden smile, but the darkness in his expression lightened considerably."Promise me you won't run away again." Travis sat on the floor, gradually moving closer to Nicole's side.His black shirt was half-open, revealing toned muscles.Nicole still wouldn't look at him,

Once Travis realized how important Nicole was to him, he would surely treat her well.But that process would be painful.Nicole would have to suffer a bit.James wasn't sure if Nicole could wait for that day to come."James, you know exactly what my relationship with your boss has been like all these years. What's the point of going back? To endure more of his insults?""Mrs. Graham, perhaps things aren't as bad as you think." James naturally sided with Travis.The reason was simple: Travis was his meal ticket.Besides, having worked for Travis for so many years, James believed his boss wasn't truly a bad person."Stop calling me Mrs. Graham. How many times do I have to tell you?" Nicole got a headache just hearing that title."Yes, Mrs. Graham. I'll be more careful in the future. Will you come back with me now?" James bowed respectfully to Nicole.Nicole shook her head with a bitter smile."James, do you not understand what I'm saying?""Mrs. Graham, you can't beat these t

"I know what game you're playing," Nicole said quietly.She lightly raised her foot to kick away Lucy's hand, then calmly brought the basin of hot water to Travis.Seeing Nicole easily dodge her attempt, Lucy's smile momentarily froze."Where's your washcloth?" Nicole glanced at Lucy, a slight curve to her lips, then turned toward Travis.Travis pointed to the wardrobe across from his hospital bed. "In there.""Hmm." Nicole turned and opened the wardrobe, immediately spotting the small white square cloth on top.As she was about to close the wardrobe door, she heard the sudden sound of a basin crashing to the floor behind her.This was followed by Lucy's scream."Ah! It's burning hot!"Nicole quickly turned around to see the hot water she'd carefully brought now spilled all over the floor.Lucy was soaked, moaning as she clutched her reddened arm."Nicole, did you do this on purpose? Did you deliberately place the basin precariously?" Travis's accusation immediately followed

"How am I supposed to drink this soup? It's scalding hot!"Travis discovered his hand firmly trapped in Nicole's grip, his handsome face darkening like the bottom of a pan.When he tried to use brute force to break free, he realized that the normally soft and gentle Nicole now possessed astonishing strength.The cold-faced Nicole before him seemed completely unfamiliar.She hardly resembled the woman he had so easily pushed around before."Mr. Graham, if the soup is too hot, you can drink it slowly. But isn't it time to break this bad habit of knocking over dishes whenever you're upset?""You used to blow on it to cool it down before feeding me. Why can't you do that now?" Travis was accustomed to Nicole's meticulous care.But the current Nicole treated him with less warmth than his household staff.Her cold, aloof attitude infuriated Travis."Mr. Graham, I suggest you wake your mind up. We're divorced. I'm no longer your wife. How could I possibly treat you like before?"Nic

Ben spoke with such sincerity that Nicole felt she would be letting him down if she refused."No problem."Nicole had heard that Ben was wealthy, but she didn't know the extent of his wealth.It wasn't until she saw the sprawling lawn, European-style villa, outdoor swimming pool, tennis court, and basketball court on Ben's phone that her perception of him was completely refreshed."If you have no objections, let's sign a contract."Ben pulled out a briefcase from behind him and extracted three copies of an employment contract.Nicole finally realized something was off."Professor Wallace, you came prepared tonight?"Ben made no attempt to hide his intentions. "Yes. Calvin really likes you. He keeps talking about the pretty Professor Spencer... What can I say? The things we do as parents."After quickly reviewing the contract and finding no issues, Nicole signed it.Even after showing Ben out of her apartment, Nicole still found the situation unbelievable.Was she now working

"I'd appreciate fewer jokes like that. I don't want the whole school filled with rumors about us."Recently, due to the surgery and other matters, Nicole and Ben had been spending more time together, which had already sparked gossip that they were dating.Nicole had to repeatedly explain, "Don't misunderstand—Professor Wallace and I have a purely professional relationship!""Professor Spencer, no need to explain. You're both single—there's nothing wrong if you've fallen in love," her colleagues would tease.Only Richard would grimly say, "Professor Spencer, Professor Wallace's family situation is complicated. You'd be better off with someone whose background is simpler and cleaner."As for why he described Ben's background as complicated, Richard didn't dare elaborate. Ben had happened to walk by at that moment and shot him a warning glance."So, Professor Spencer, are you suggesting we should maintain a proper distance?" Ben asked, his eyes fixed intently on Nicole's."Yes." Ni

"Professor Wallace, you're quite the smooth talker. I imagine you're good at winning over the ladies."After years of being insulted and belittled by Travis, being complimented by another man felt strange to Nicole. She even felt herself getting warm.She stood up, gathering the empty dishes, and turned toward the kitchen.From behind her came the man's deep, magnetic voice."Professor Spencer, I'm not good at winning women over. I'm good at keeping them at a distance."Nicole paused. "Those women must be quite heartbroken then!"With that, she hurried into the kitchen.She turned on the faucet, cool water running over her skin.Her rational mind gradually cleared.Nicole, men love to sweet-talk, don't let yourself be fooled by their words.She reminded herself of this as she washed the dishes."Washing dishes this way wastes water. Let me do it."Ben, having finished his meal, walked into the kitchen and noticed Nicole staring absent-mindedly at the running water."Sorry,

Nicole was exhausted.After returning to her dorm and quickly freshening up, she slept from 2 PM straight through until 6 PM.She hurriedly ordered ingredients from a delivery app, then tidied up her apartment.After spending half an hour washing and chopping vegetables, she realized it was already seven o'clock.Ben knocked on her door right on time."Professor Spencer, is dinner ready?" he asked, walking in with drinks in hand.Nicole glanced at her cold stove and pots, and cleared her throat."I woke up late, so I've just finished prepping the ingredients. I'll be done quickly, Professor Wallace. Please make yourself comfortable on the couch.""Need any help?""No need. I can manage.""Okay then. I'll take you up on that."Though he said he wouldn't impose, Ben did exactly that—settling onto the couch and casually picking up a medical journal to read.When Nicole finally called him to the table, he returned the book to the shelf, washed his hands, and helped arrange the

Lucy's question was like a hand reaching for the delicate veil covering Travis's thoughts, nearly exposing his true feelings.Travis gently touched his bandaged head and immediately denied it. "Lucy, what are you saying? How could I ever like that woman? She's the one who caused your condition."Lucy wiped tears from the corners of her eyes, her voice choked with emotion. "Travis, I know I'm disabled now and no longer worthy of you. I would bless your relationship with anyone—anyone except Nicole!""I understand. Don't worry, I won't fall for her. I just don't want her to have it easy.""Would you swear to it?"Travis fell silent.As a man approaching 30, he certainly knew how childish and hollow such oaths were.But if it would give Lucy some peace of mind, saying a few more words didn't matter.He raised his right hand toward the ceiling, his handsome face solemn and serious."Lucy, I swear on my life that I will never develop feelings for Nicole. If I ever like Nicole, may
