"This kid," Nicole shook her head helplessly. "Don't bother with him. I'll take him and Lana out when I have the time,""Hey, it's fine. I like bringing them out," Lawrence said with a beam.Nicole changed the topic, not wanting to trouble Lawrence too much. Times were different from when they were on Crescent Island. In addition, Lawrence had just come to San Joto too, and thus, he must be busy with other issues."Seeing that you've come all the way to meet me personally, is there something else?" Nicole asked softly.Lawrence sighed without another mention about bringing the kids out on the weekend. "Nothing important. I just wanted to know if there is any progress with the electronic badge you've once helped me decipher?"Nicole shook her head, feeling somewhat shameful. "I'm sorry. Not yet.""No, it's alright. I was just asking anyways," Lawrence comforted Nicole as he noticed her downcast eyes."I'm still trying. I will let you know when there is progress," Nicole said, her
June was one of those among the audience watching Samuel's game. The accident had apparently happened in a flash, prompting the doctor on duty to instantly carry Samuel off the playing field. June had not met or spoken to Samuel after they had all turned up."It seems like all we could do is wait," Nicole bit her lips.By the looks of it, Samuel seemed to have sustained a serious injury, or else they would have treated it on the spot, instead of sending him to the hospital."I wonder how long it would take. I just want to know how...how badly injured he is." June stammered, looking as though she would rush into the emergency room to check on him in a heartbeat.Lulu held June back and gently comforted her. "Calm down. Maybe he'll be out in a second.""Let's go over and sit down," Nicole took them to the row of seats.If Samuel's injury was indeed serious, she feared there would be a long wait. Still, all they could do was wait patiently."Yes, let's go over there and take a seat
"What's up with you really?" Stanley asked."I had a collision during the game. The injury was accidental," Samuel explained, giving them a general description of everything that had occurred during the game.Hearing that, everyone comforted him. "Rest well.""What other choice do I have?" Samuel grimaced, for he could not move even if he wanted to now."Mom and Dad have no idea yet. Since you're not seriously hurt, we'll go back and inform them about your injury," Stanley stated.The siblings knew about Samuel's situation, but since the medical examination results were not out yet, they had all decided to hide his injury from Gloria and Daniel.But now that they had discovered that it was not as big a deal, they had to inform their parents. Samuel was after all going to be hospitalized for a while, and the family had the right to know about it."Oh, yeah. Tell Mom and Dad not to worry about me. I just need some rest," Samuel replied, knowing it was impossible to hide the news f
"Spencer, Stanley and I will head back first." Nicole readily agreed.After all, Spencer still had to be the man for his woman, and Nicole was in no position to ruin their fun at all."I'll be going home soon too," Spencer responded calmly.After all, a misfortune had befallen Samuel today. Both Sean and Steve had returned home as well, so he had to go home after seeing Lulu off."I can actually go home on my own," Lulu contested.Understanding the current situation, Lulu felt that there was no need to trouble Spencer with keeping her company. She could go home by herself.However, by then, Spencer had already taken her hand and said, "C'mon, I'll take you home first."He could simply not allow her to go home on her own. Besides, the situation was stable now, so there was no need to rush.Hearing that, Lulu bit her lip and followed Spencer with no further issue, and after they had left the hospital, the two cars went in separate directions.Soon, Nicole and Stanley returned to
"He'll be fine after a sufficient period of rest," Nicole responded."Well, since Jared is back, let's have dinner," Daniel said once he saw that everyone was present."Yeah, let's eat," Gloria agreed.Just as they had taken their seats, Spencer entered the room. Seeing that dinner had begun, he sat down in the dining room and joined everyone for the meal."How is Lulu?" Gloria asked with concern, knowing that Spencer had just sent Lulu home."She's fine, Mom. Don't worry," Spencer replied.Gloria nodded. "Well, Lulu and June are both good girls. You and Samuel must cherish them.""Rest assured, Mom, we will." Spencer's eyes flashed with seriousness as he had really been dedicating a great deal of effort to their relationship.Recently, the desire to settle down and get married had been growing in him. He had also been longing for a married life."Okay." Gloria was about to remind Spencer to start eating when his phone suddenly rang.Spencer glanced at the number and answered
Sean and Steve left soon after and returned to their own homes, while the others went upstairs to their rooms, one after another.Meanwhile, Spencer had arrived at the hotel and there, he saw Icyln crying and trembling in a corner, her face drenched in tears. The sight left him in shock."Icyln, what happened?" Spencer quickly approached Icyln and asked her.Upon hearing Spencer's voice, Icyln looked up, and when she confirmed that it was indeed Spencer, she abruptly got up and threw herself into his arms."Ahhhhhh, why did you come so late, Spencer? I was so scared!" Icyln wailed."What happened? Please tell me slowly." Spencer attempted to push Icyln away, but she held onto him even tighter."Hurry up, it's right here.""Hey, isn't that Spencer, the violinist?""What's going on between him and Icyln?""Don't just stand there. Quick, take some photos. This is definitely going to make for some spicy news."The clicking of camera shutters emanated as the reporters snapped phot
"Don't worry, everything will be fine." Spencer stated, advising Icyln to go back to her room as he would take care of this.Icyln hesitated for a moment, but when she saw the look of persistence on his face, she could only agree, "Okay."After Icyln had returned to her room, Spencer turned to the reporters and asked, "Who told you to come and take photos?"Glaring at the huge group of paparazzi, his intuition informed him that someone had deliberately planned this."We heard about a possible fight involving a celebrity here, so we came to check it out," someone replied.However, they had inadvertently happened upon and captured something that could spark a thousand more speculations in the process."A fight?" Spencer furrowed his brows, finally understanding the reason behind Icyln's frightened phone call.After a brief moment of contemplation, Spencer shot the reporters a glance and said, "There was no fight here. You can leave."Some reporters even glanced into the room, not
"Mom, let's all sit down and talk." Nicole smiled as she noticed everyone standing."Oh, right. Let's sit down."Soon, they all took their seats and talked about Samuel's injury and casually chatted about other topics.Before they knew it, time flitted by, and it was almost noon. It was only then that they remembered that Mr. Riddle Sr. was waiting for them, so they stood up and left.When Samuel heard that they were going back to the family manor, he instructed, "Dad, tell Grandpa that I'll be discharged in a few days.""Let's wait until you can actually leave the hospital before telling him," Daniel differed.Although he knew that Samuel did not want Mr. Riddle Sr. to worry, Daniel also knew that he could not be easily fooled, so they had to tell him the truth.Samuel opened his mouth and issued a sigh of helplessness. He wanted to leave as well, but the doctor would not allow it.After they had left, June could not help but comfort him when she had noted Samuel's somewhat li
