After that, Spencer, Lulu, and Nicole exited the room."Let's begin." Martin said, his voice calm yet detached."Thank you." Icyln replied, thanking him through gritted teeth.Outside the hospital room, Lulu pulled Nicole aside and lowered her voice, "Don't you find that Icyln's situation is a little strange?""What makes you say that?" Nicole asked, intrigued. 'Did Lulu notice something?'Then, Lulu recounted what she had observed to Nicole, who also found it puzzling. "Yes, it does seem unusual."As they had spoken, both of them turned to look at Spencer, as if a realization had dawned upon them.Feeling a little flustered under their gaze, he asked, "Why are you both looking at me like that?""It's nothing," they said in unison before exchanging glances. "Stay here for a moment; we'll be back soon."Assuming they had something to discuss, Spencer agreed without thinking much of it. "Alright."After Nicole and Lulu had left, the both of them went to the doctor's office and
"I'll treat both of you. After all, it's all because of Spencer's junior." Lulu said, feeling that she and Spencer should be the ones to thank Martin."Aren't you staying?" Nicole raised an eyebrow meaningfully and gestured towards the room, hinting for Lulu to stay behind.It was clear that this entire incident was another one of Icyln's schemes. Earlier, Spencer had entered the room while Lulu was gone, giving Icyln an opportunity to pull her tricks.Surprisingly, Lulu brushed it off, saying, "She's not important. Thanking Dr. Wyance is our priority here."Furthermore, if Spencer left, Icyln's condition might never improve.Seeing that Lulu had made up her mind, Nicole agreed, "Alright then.""Hey, Spencer. Nicole, Dr. Wyance, and I are going out for dinner. Come find us when you're done, or if it gets too late, just head home," Lulu announced before closing the hospital room door and leaving.Inside the room, Spencer had not even gotten a chance to respond.All he could do w
"You have yet to recover, so you should rest more. I will come and pick you up along with the rest of our colleagues when you're fit for discharge," Spencer comforted.Knowing that Spencer would not stay anymore, Icyln feebly said, "Please be safe."She also knew that Spencer was in a rush to meet Lulu. However, there was nothing else which she could do to make him stay. So, he had to let him go.'What an annoying b*tch! Lulu is always ruining my chances. I'm sure my plan would've worked if Lulu did not follow him,' she fumed.All Icyln could do was watch as Spencer abandoned her and catch up after Lulu."You should sleep early tonight. Remember to call the doctor when you're not feeling well." Spencer reminded Icyln, after which he closed the door and left.After Spencer was gone, Icyln threw the bowl to the ground and smashed it out of anger.For the past two days, she had abstained from eating and drinking, all so that she could appear weak and miserable. She was hoping that
"Yeah." Nicole nodded. "I suspect that our treatment sessions might have worked a little, other than the fact that there were external shocks involved."These two factors might have a correlation, and that gave Nicole some confidence in being able to regain her memories again."Since it has been effective, I'll go through the treatment again based on the current situation. Let me know if you have any ideas," Martin gently stated."You've done well, and I've gotten this far because of your help. We'll just proceed with any ideas or proposals you've got. I don't have any suggestions at the moment." Nicole replied.Indeed, she had begun to believe that her condition was getting better, and it was all thanks to Martin.Martin smiled. "You're being too modest. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have done it myself."After all, Nicole was a genius. As of now, Nicole's skills and knowledge in medicine were ranked second in the world, right behind James Dade."I'll leave it to you for now
"Sure."Lulu nodded and sauntered off happily.Seeing that Lulu had left, Nicole steadied her gaze and smirked.This time around, she could finally put an end to the drama with DillCorp. After she had taken Dillion, James and Raine down, Everett and Damien would be the only ones left for her to deal with. She would never let anyone associated with Damien and Dillion off the hook.'Even if I don't know who the culprit behind this entire issue is, they were still the ones responsible for grandpa's attempted murder. On top of that, they even forced grandpa to split the company's shares. I can only imagine how angry and dejected grandpa was at that moment to have gone through that!' Nicole thought.Meanwhile, at DillCorp, James and Raine had just emerged from Dillon's office."You really think you can do it?" Raine asked James with a worried look on her face."We have to find a way. There's no way we're going to sit and watch Everett bully the heck out of you." James looked at Raine a
"Your wedding day is fast approaching, so we'll have to do this as soon as possible." Nicole teased, unable to help herself.If they were to put it on hold, it would no longer be considered a part of their bachelorette trip anymore. Rather, it would become a celebration of their marriage."Why don't we do it this weekend?" Lulu suggested, echoing Nicole's ideas."Sure, can you inform June when the time comes." Nicole agreed, already looking forward to it."Sure. We'll have a huge feast that day!" Lulu said proudly. "It'll be my treat!"Not bothering to fight for the bill, Nicole responded, "Sure thing."As they had been longtime friends, neither of them had been calculative with one another at all. And since it was Lulu's wish to buy them all dinner, Nicole did not mind granting it.Soon, the fish and chips were served, with the aroma of the paprika instantly making them salivate. The both of them held up their utensils and began to dig in. Their foreheads were beaded with sweat
Soon, the waiter walked off, though he remained within walking distance from the table.Nicole narrowed her eyes and looked at Lulu, who instantly understood her signal and nodded. Then, Lulu stood up and left.Harvey glanced at Lulu without uttering a word to her. Then, he turned to Nicole and said, "Come to think about it, it has been years since I've been back to Royal Creek Institute.""Don't you come to this area to visit Mr. Ellison from time to time?" Nicole glanced at Harvey as he spoke.Harvey's eyes darkened and he looked away. It seemed as if he did not wish to answer the question.Noting this, Nicole raised her eyebrows and observed Harvey's expression. 'What does that mean?'At that moment, Lulu had returned. She turned to Nicole and nodded slightly before taking a seat."Nicole, let's eat. The taste is still the same as before," Lulu stated, pretending as if nothing had happened and continued eating with Nicole.Although Harvey had insisted on staying at the table
Lulu kept her eyes on Harvey until he had stepped out of the restaurant.Then, she issued a sigh of relief, "Finally, he's gone.""Let's eat. We need to head back after we're done eating." Nicole remained calm, as if Harvey's appearance had not affected her at all.Lulu looked outside again, and in a soft voice, she asked, "What do you think happened between Mr. Ellison and Harvey? They seem to be behaving oddly."The two of them had never thought of looking for Mr. Ellison when they decided to go to the restaurant. All they had in mind was to have lunch and return to the office. Unexpectedly, they bumped into Harvey, who proceeded to harass them. So, they had come up with a last minute decision to find Mr. Ellison, just so they could get him to chase Harvey away. Little did they know that they would happen upon an unexpected discovery.Such was probably why Mr. Ellison had been staying in the institute recently. He had even moved his belongings into the institute now. Therefore,
