While she was gone, Aurum bent down and whispered to Nicole, "You miss Joshua, right?"Nicole nodded, and her eyes lit up eagerly. "Uncle Lefting, you know what I'm thinking!""Actually, Joshua should have gone back after that weekend at the theme park.""Oh? Is Joshua back home?"Aurum whispered, "Nicole, let me finish. I made the decision myself to let Joshua stay with me. He's at my house right now, and I helped him find a kindergarten to attend.""However, your mother doesn't know about this at all. Joshua and I didn't tell her, because she would make Joshua go back if she found out. Then, it would be very hard for you to see Joshua. So, Nicole, you can't tell your mother at all, alright? It's a secret between you, me and Joshua, we can't let anyone else know!"Nicole understood what he meant and immediately said, "Okay!"Aurum hurriedly put a finger on her lips. "Shush, you have to be quiet.""Shush…"Nicole mimicked him as she snuck a glance at the kitchen.Winnie was b
However, Shawn was right beside them, so Aurum and Gale could not say anything!Looking into Gale's eyes, Aurum said, "However, you don't have to worry. It's good that Nicole remembers everything. It means she's not confused in any other way. She's still acting quite normally."Gale was in a panic, not knowing what to ask.What about Joshua?What if Nicole mentioned Joshua in front of Winnie?Was her beloved son that she hid so well going to be exposed?!Gale responded, "T-that's true. She remembers everything except me.""Nicole will remember you, Gale. I'll take my leave now."Aurum shot her a meaningful look before he turned around."I'll send you off. Thank you for coming to visit Nicole." Gale followed him, understanding what he meant.Aurum purposely acted polite. "No need, no need. There's no need for you to do that."Shawn looked at the two of them and pursed his lips.He had just been about to say something when Gale said, "Then I should at least send you to the el
She respected and appreciated Aurum. It was something she would never be able to repay in her lifetime."Galey, how do you know Aurum doesn't like you?""He has a fiance!"Shawn pursed his lips. "Natalie and he haven't gotten married after so many years. Who knows what he's thinking.""They're getting married at the end of the year.""We still don't know if that's actually happening."Gale felt like she could not communicate with Shawn.He was just such a jealous man!She turned around and left. "If you have the time to let your imagination run wild like this, think about how you're going to get Nicole away from Winnie!""The nurse just entered the ward."Gale's footsteps stopped.At the ward, the nurse changed Nicole's liquids. Before too long, Nicole rubbed her eyes. "Mommy, sleepy…""Alright, sleep then. I'll be here."Nicole quickly fell asleep.Winnie had just been about to adjust the air conditioning to a higher temperature so Nicole would not catch a cold when the
"I assure you. As long as you can ensure that Nicole returns to normal, I'll let you leave Sea City. I'll give you a sum of money that you can live the rest of your life freely and without any worries with! I'll definitely do it!"Winnie had a look of disdain on her face. "Do you think you can chase me away so easily?""Then what do you want?!""I want to be Mrs. Wood!" Winnie raised her chin proudly. "I want to marry into a noble family. I want my children to be exceptional people in the future who stand above everyone else!"She truly was ambitious!Gale said, "Winnie, you should learn to be happy with what you have. Aren't you afraid you'll lose everything in the end?""I still have Nicole. If I can't survive anymore, then Nicole will die with me too!"Gale was shocked. "Don't you dare!""Just wait and see if I will. You'd better make sure I live a comfortable life. Otherwise, Nicole will suffer more than I do!" Winnie laughed and said, "You said you'll let me leave Sea City
"Uncle Lefting!" The moment Aurum walked in, Joshua ran out. "You're back? Are you tired? Let me make you some tea and massage your legs and tell you stories and turn the TV on…"Joshua's mouth really was a rare talent.He did not even seem to need to breathe.Normally, Aurum would joke around with him, but Aurum was in no mood that day.Joshua asked, "Did you see Nicole? Is she better? Is the surgery successful? What about my mommy? Is she tired? Did she get skinner? When can I see the two of them?"Aurum looked at him with a serious expression.Joshua's smile slowly disappeared. His face turned incredibly serious as well. "What is it, Uncle Lefting. Did something happen?""Yes."Joshua was suddenly incredibly anxious. "Who's mistreating them? Tell me now. I'll go help them!"Aurum picked Joshua up and put Joshua on his leg, telling Joshua everything.At that moment, he did not treat Joshua as a little kid. Instead, he seriously told Joshua everything, analyzing the situatio
"Female... lunatic?""Yes, I'm asking the guards about it."Natalie's expression was a little unnatural for a moment.'Isn't that Winnie?'She immediately looked at the security guard with a warning in her eyes, warning them not to forget what she told him that day!Natalie was in charge of the household affairs and had the right to make decisions, and the housekeeper reports solely to her, so she still has great prestige in the Lefting family.After a short period of panic, Natalie quickly calmed down. "Aurum, why did you suddenly ask about such a trivial matter? She's just a lunatic. Send her away, or let the security guards not come near next time they see her.""Have you seen her?" Aurum asked.Natalie shook her head. "No. I've been busy with various things for our year-end wedding, so I'm not at home much."Aurum did not doubt her and looked at the security again. "Answer my question."The security guard gulped and said, "Mr. Lefting...That's just a crazy person, I will
At this moment, she does not have the viciousness and cruelty when she was with Winnie at all!Who would have thought that it was because of her that Nicole acted that way, and she was the one who hid Winnie!No one thought that she was the mastermind behind the scenes!Aurum had no idea that the woman next to him was the scariest one of them all!In the maid room.Joshua sat cross-legged on the bed.Zoe asked, "Still awake? What are you thinking about? Joshua, when the time is right, Mr. Lefting will definitely take you to see Mommy and Nicole.""Mrs. Zoe, I was thinking of something else.""What?"Joshua touched his chin, looking like a mature young man. "Aurum asked the security guards about the mad woman today, I think… that security guard was not telling the truth."Zoe was a little puzzled. "How do you know that?"Joshua analyzed, "I saw it! When the security guard was about to answer at the beginning, his eyes were a little flustered, but he didn't dodge or flinch. Bu
Gale knew that Nicole did not want to see her, but she could not bear to leave, so she could only watch at the door every day.Nicole whispered, "Daddy, that auntie is outside every day, right?"He was startled. "Well, she cares about you very much."Nicole said, "I don't need her to care for me. Daddy, don't bother with her.""Why?""Because you stay with that woman every day. What will Mommy do? Do you want her and not Mommy? My heart is with Mommy. If you don't love her, I won't love you either."Only then did Shawn understand why Nicole was so indifferent to him.It turned out to be because... he and Gale were too close.However, how would he explain it to Nicole?The auntie outside was Nicole's real mother.Winnie in front of her was just a counterfeit, a stand-in!"Daddy, I hate that you are with her. You beat Mommy, you don't care about Mommy anymore. You are indifferent to her. You are not a good husband."After a pause for a few seconds, Nicole said again, "She is
