    Lynanapletely ignored Nicole, as if she did not exist.


    Jared nced at Lyana apathetically.


    Blood instantly drained from Lyana’s face, and she looked in an unspeakable fear.

    She knew very well who us was-he was just following and serving Jared.


    He was basically a knife in Jared’s hand.


    She was afraid no matter how much Mr. Rogers Sr.


    pampered her, if she angered Jared, Mr. Rogers would turn against her.


    Lyana still thought of saying something, but the elevator had arrived.


    Nicole and Jared walked in.


    us nced at Lyana with a smirk and followed Jared into the elevator.


    The bodyguard finally got his due.


    He was struck dumb after getting pped by Lyana.


    He had been acting like a bully all this while with Lyana’s connivance.


    Lyana wiped her hands with a handkerchief handed over by the others and said coldly to the bodyguard


    on the floor.


    “Get the hell out of here.


    I don’t want to see you again.”


    The bodyguard looked sorry and dumbfounded, not knowing why Lyana’s attitude had changed all of a


    sudden.


    He was just doing the same thing as he usually did.


    But he knew he could not afford to offend Lyana.


    So he had to endure the pain and crawl away.


    Lyana looked at the closed elevator door with resentment.


    She med Nicole for all the disdain Jared had shown her today.


    She tore the handkerchief in her hand into pieces.


    Mr. Rogers Sr.’s warning gradually faded from her mind, and only the sound in the air came from the


    gritting of her teeth.


    “Nicole!” Lyana was not in the mood for the medical checkup now, so she turned around and left with her


    men.


    Nicole did not know what Lyana was thinking.


    She came to the tenth floor, where the VIP wards were.


    Daniel was sitting in front of a ward door, looking depressed and thinner than before.


    Gloria was leaning on his shoulder, and her rosy cheeks now appeared a little pale.


    They were whispering something to each other when the elevator door opened, and Nicole appeared.


    Their eyes brightened up, and they immediately stood up and walked toward Nicole.


    “Why didn’t you answer the phone? You almost scared me to death.” Gloria looked at Nicole with


    reddened eyes.


    Nicole opened her mouth, wanting to exin herself.


    But she ended up just saying, “I’m sorry.


    Daniel did not want to say anything reproachful but just whispered, “It’s okay as long as you’re back.”


    Nicole looked at the two of them, who had a rare worried look on their faces, and asked softly, “How is


    his condition?”


    Daniel turned his head, seemingly to calm himself down, before saying, “The doctor said that surgery is


    needed, but the risk ofplications is high, and he may not survive.”


    Nicole understood and looked grave.


    It was even more serious than she thought.


    At this time, Samuel and Spencer had alsoe.


    They ran toward Nicole in front of the elevator as soon as they saw her.


    “You’re back atst, Nicole!”


    Steve and Stanley followed from behind them with surprised looks in their eyes when they saw Nicole.


    As so many people showed their concerns for Nicole, Norah could not help but ask, “Where have you


    been, Nicole? Why didn’t you attend the family banquet the other day? Grandpa was angry because of


    this.”
