Chapter 2032


    Nicole could not help but smile when she saw how well everyone was treating Nn and Lana. She


    suddenly felt a sense of familiarity. It felt as if she was once treated the same way as well; spoiled by


    everyone in her family.


    Nicole froze when that thought flitted in her head. Then, she tried her very best to recall the incident but


    to no avail. Instead, the more she thought about it, her headache worsened and her face nched.


    "Stop thinking. Just take things as theye," Jared said softly.


    He seemed to have noticed that Nicole was struggling with something, so he held her soft hand in an


    attempt tofort her.


    His gentle voice brought her thoughts to a halt, and once she redirected her focus back to the present,


    her headache gradually began to taper off. The warmth from Jared''s palm was giving her a sense of


    security as well.


    However, Jared''s remark had prompted everyone to notice the odd look on Nicole''s face. "What''s


    wrong with Nicole?"


    "I suddenly got a headache, but I''m fine now," Nicole casually remarked, as she did not want to tell


    them that she was trying to recall her memories.


    "You''ve probably overworked yourself. Take a rest. I''ll get someone to call you when it''s time for


    dinner," Gloria said with concern.


    "Jared, take Nicole up please," Daniel requested as he believed that Jared could take care of her.


    "Sure," Jared replied, after which he brought Nicole upstairs.


    Initially, Nicole did not want to go anywhere. Not thinking was all she had to do if she wanted her


    headache to stop. But when she saw how concerned her family was, she decided to go upstairs with


    Jared; she did not want them to worry about her.


    When they got back to their room, Jared helped Nicole to the bed and gestured for her to lie down.


    However, Nicole did not want to do so. "I''m fine. That scene back there just felt so familiar to me, so I


    tried to summon my memories of the past. Unfortunately, I still couldn''t remember anything."


    Not only could she not remember anything. That attempt of hers ended up giving her a persistent


    headache, which left her feeling disheartened.


    Feeling heartbroken on Nicole''s behalf, Jared brushed her hair with hisrge palms as heforted


    her. "There''s no rush. You might be able to retrieve all of your memories one day."


    He did not want to expose her to too much of her past because he was worried that something like this


    would happen again. Not only did Nicole not regain her memories, but she was also suffering.


    "Jared Johnston, I really want to remember everything."


    Regardless of the nature of everything that had happened in the past, Nicole had the right to know


    about it. This stood in contrast to her current state, where she could not recall anything. Now more than


    ever, she needed people to tell her everything that she was supposed to know, and it was not a


    pleasant feeling.


    "I know." Jared wrapped Nicole in his arms as he rested his chin on her head.


    Then, he began patting her back gently to ease her emotions.N?velDrama.Org owns this.


    Nicole could not help but wrap her arms around his waist as she buried her face in his chest. It felt as if


    she finally had someone to vent to. Though she did not say anything, it was obvious that Nicole was


    feeling extremely vulnerable.


    "Everything will be okay. You''ll be okay. The kids will be okay. And us...we''ll be okay too." Jared stroked


    her hair gently as heforted her in a soft voice.


    Nicole was so stressed out that she was leftpletely drained. However, embracing Jared like that


    made her feel safe and hopeful. This man, whom she had pegged as her enemy when he had


    abducted her from the airport, turned out to be her legal husband and her children''s biological father.


    He was the man who had given her the greatest support when she returned to her family. She suddenly


    realized that she was starting to get used to Jared being by her side and supporting her.


    "I''m really sorry, Jared Johnston. If I can get my memories back, maybe we''d..."


    Indeed, if she could retrieve her memories, their rtionship would perhaps return to how it used to be,


    but she could not promise him anything now.
