Chapter 11

Still dizzy from Travis's bruising grip, Nicole felt rage surge through her chest."How dare you accuse me? Should I list every tiny detail of your affair with Lucy during our three years of marriage? We're divorced now - I want to leave the past behind. Who I spend time with is my business. You have no right to interfere!""So you admit you've been sleeping with Alexander!""There's nothing between us!""Bullshit! You're practically undressing him with your eyes - do you think I'm blind?"Travis's eyes were bloodshot, his suit disheveled as he jabbed a finger toward Alexander.Nicole stared at Travis's uncharacteristic loss of control, her perfectly groomed brows furrowed in frustration."If you have issues with me, deal with me directly. Leave Mr. Hayes out of this!"This only enraged Travis further. He shot Alexander a venomous glare and roared, "Nicole, you're defending another man! We just got divorced, and you're already throwing yourself at him!"Nicole couldn't underst

Alexander smoothed his suit jacket with casual elegance, got into the driver's seat of his G-Wagon, and quickly started the engine.As Travis tried to get up and chase them, a sharp pain shot through his stomach.James only dared approach after Alexander had left, rushing to help Travis up with concerned questions."Are you alright, Mr. Graham?"Travis clutched his stomach, eyebrows knitted in pain, watching the car until it disappeared from view. Then he suddenly turned to glare at James."Where the hell were you?"James looked sheepish, stammering, "Sir, that was Alexander Hayes. I couldn't get involved with someone that powerful."Travis's face was pale as he waved it off. "The meeting."Graham Enterprise’s Kingston Tower and Hayes Plaza, the respective headquarters of both companies, dominated the South Bay CBD of the city.In this prime real estate area where every inch was worth its weight in gold, the two buildings occupied most of the district, locked in an eternal riv

An awkward silence fell over the group."Mr. Graham, your private dining room is on the sixth floor," James led Travis, knowing the restaurant’s layout well.Though in pain, Travis maintained his CEO composure as he walked. Unless looking closely, no one would notice him fighting back stomach cramps.As he strode through the grand lobby, sudden laughter caught his attention from the nearby lounge area.Usually indifferent to others' celebrations, he was about to walk past when a familiar figure caught his eye.The woman had her dark waves in an elegantly messy chignon, raising a glass of champagne in a toast with a striking man.Around them, a group of professionals was cheering them on.In the playful moment, some vanilla buttercream ended up on her face.The man in glasses leaned forward, gesturing to the spot on her cheek.She found the frosting and dabbed it away with a linen napkin.They shared a smile as the others teased them.Travis didn't remember crossing the marbl

Chapter 14

Travis was a workaholic.Nicole had known this even before they married.Once he got caught up in work, he would forget to eat or sleep, often staying up all night, which had always been hard on his stomach.After their marriage, Nicole had stocked their home with various stomach medications so he could take them whenever his pain flared up.She'd even prepared an elegant medicine box for his office.Several times, it was Nicole's carefully selected medications that had eased his stomach pain.So now, when his stomach cramped, he instinctively called out her name.In the past, Nicole would have rushed to his side in concern, rubbing his stomach despite knowing he might push her away. She would have endured his anger and harsh words, gently bringing him water and medicine.Remembering how she had loved so humbly, getting only contempt instead of love in return, Nicole felt a surge of anger and shame.Those unloved years now felt like a dull knife in her heart.Nicole kept her

Travis felt his body weakening, his vision blurring.Seeing her about to leave, he fought through the pain and lunged forward, grabbing her wrist.The moment he touched her, he felt a long-lost sense of peace, but his strength failed him and he collapsed to the floor.Nicole nearly fell from his pull but managed to catch her balance.Turning, she saw him sprawled on the ground, three limbs on the floor while his right hand still gripped her wrist.She frowned, trying to pry his fingers loose with her left hand.But his grip wouldn't budge.Just as she took a deep breath to try again, rapid footsteps approached.She turned to see Alexander striding toward them with long steps."Nicole, everyone's waiting for you."Before he finished speaking, his sharp eyes caught Travis gripping Nicole's wrist.His dark eyes flashed coldly behind his glasses.Moving quickly, he deliberately stepped on Travis's left hand lying on the floor."Ah!"With a low cry of pain, Travis reflexively

Chapter 16

On the stretcher, the man's right hand clutched his abdomen, his handsome face nearly white, brows furrowed in pain.Standing nearest to the exit, Nicole had the clearest view as the medical team carried Travis out.Travis, irritated by the crowd's noise, asked James to send them away. Looking up, he noticed Nicole watching him.Just as he thought she might be concerned, she gave him a brief, indifferent glance before turning away.As the ambulance raced from the Splendor Hotel to the hospital, Travis lay on the gurney, haunted by Nicole's cold stare.She didn't even care when he was in pain anymore.Could it be that she truly no longer loved him?Travis felt uneasy. As the pain intensified, his consciousness began to fade...After examining Travis, the doctor looked serious. "Acute appendicitis. We need to get him into surgery immediately."The medical team quickly prepped him for emergency surgery while James contacted his next of kin.After receiving the call, William had

Chapter 17

Ford explained everything to Nicole. William’s heart had started acting up when he learned of Travis's emergency appendectomy, and staying up all night in the cold hospital corridor had made things worse.Understanding the situation, Nicole knew William’s condition stemmed from worrying about Travis.With Travis's mother deceased and his father living abroad, William had raised him alone."Nicole, why are you here? Did Ford call you?"William brightened at seeing Nicole but felt uncomfortable that Ford had called her, now that she and Travis were divorced.Nicole understood his concern and took his weathered hand, speaking softly, "Grandpa, you've been like a real grandfather to me all these years. Of course I'd come when you're in the hospital!"William sighed deeply. "Ah, Nicole, you're such a good girl. Travis is a fool to lose you."Ford added, "That's why Mr. Graham is lying there with no one to care for him."William snorted, "He brought this on himself!"Despite his word

Chapter 18

Lucy's mouth formed a perfect "O" as she stared at Nicole's expressionless face. "Nicole, how can you talk about Travis like that? Don't you love him? Even if he doesn't love you, you shouldn't insult him!"Nicole let out a soft, cold laugh, speaking with deliberate casualness. "Miss Miller, who said I love Travis?""Everyone knows! The whole upper society knows how you chased after Travis - you even followed him into the men's room once, trying to kiss him.""Ah, but as you said, that was in the past. Now I don't love him anymore. I've lost interest - in fact, I despise him. So isn't it natural to criticize him?""You really don't love Travis anymore?" Lucy deliberately raised her voice with the question.While seemingly directed at Nicole, it was clearly meant for Travis's ears.Though Lucy knew Travis didn't love Nicole, she also knew that anyone would develop some level of attachment after so many years together. She wanted Travis, proud as he was, to hear that Nicole no lon

Chapter 19

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

Chapter 20

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
