Chapter 1442 Realization
Nicole and Juan came personally to fetch Evan and the rest. Upon seeing her father, Nicole could not contain her joy. “Dad, how are you doing?” she asked worriedly.
“No big deal. Evan insisted that I should come here to recuperate.”
“Rest assured. Dad, Bernian Hospital has a special zone for recuperation. I can bring you there daily to help you in recovering.”
“Sure. I’ve heard from Evan that your hospital is doing good. Actually, I’ve been wanting to visit there.”
“We should head back home first. Get some rest. We’ll only be going to the hospital in the afternoon.”
“All right.”
After they arrived at Imperial Garden, Nicole arranged a room for her father.
As the two sat down to chat, the elderly man intentionally mentioned Nina and complimented her. He praised Nina for being attentive and caring, for she had taken good care of him.
“You’re her grandpa. It’s her responsibility to look after you.”
“Nicole, is Nina still clueless about what happened to Chris?”
“Yes. She knows nothing about it. You mustn’t let the cat out of the bag!” Nicole reminded him solemnly.
Coincidentally, Nina, who was going to knock on the door as she wanted to deliver the medicine to her grandfather, overheard Nicole’s words. Her hand froze midair as she was puzzled. What is it that Mommy forbids Grandpa from telling me?
Then she heard the man heave a sigh. “Chris is also a pitiful kid.”
Nicole, too, heaved a sigh, then said, “Dad, stop thinking about this. Get some rest first. What do you want to eat? I’ll let Maya have the food prepared for you.”
Nina frowned while standing on the other side of the door. Did Grandpa just say that Chris is pitiful? Daddy once said to Maya that Chris is a great man.
Thinking of her father’s and grandfather’s comments on Chris, Nina thought that it was strange.
Logically speaking, Chris, who had cheated on her, should be disdained by her family. They should consider him a disreputable man. Surprisingly, her grandfather pitied Chris, while her father called him a great man.
She realized that they were hiding something from her.
Who did Chris marry if it was not Felicia? I have to look into this matter.
Then she heard Nicole walking toward the door. Hence, she quickly knocked on the door and entered the room with the medicine in her hand.
Later, Nina drove to Seet Group. Right when she set foot in the design department, she saw Stephen staring blankly at her office.
She approached him and asked, “Are you looking for me?”
Stephen was taken aback upon hearing her voice. He looked at her in shock. “You’re back.”
“Yes. I arrived at the airport one hour ago. Is anything the matter?”
“Um… Nothing. I merely pass by your office.”
Nina furrowed her brows. As her office was situated at the far east, no one would pass by her office by chance. Clearly, Stephen was lying.
Seeing her reaction, Stephen kept mum for a while, as he realized that he had told a ridiculous lie. Hence, he cast an awkward smile and said, “I still have some undone work. I’ll excuse myself first.”
Stephen’s face had betrayed his nervousness. Nina’s face turned grim as she watched Stephen walk away.
Nina couldn’t help but think about this man who had suddenly appeared at the bar and rescued her the other day. After that, he had shown up at her company and presented many designs similar to Chris’ style. In fact, his speech and manner were also reminiscent of Chris’. Nina knew that something was off about this man.
Although she investigated his background twice before, Nina still wanted to find out more about him.
Stephen, even if you’re not Chris, you must know him. It’s weird that the two of you share so many similarities. I have to find out the relationship between you and Chris!
Making up her mind, Nina came up with her first plan, which was to make him drunk. As one would spill the truth in a drunken haze, she could fish for some information from a drunk Stephen if she pressed on patiently.
After work, Nina came up with an excuse, and she wanted to treat those employees from the design department to a meal.
Initially, Stephen intended to refuse the offer. However, after contemplating for a while, he decided to attend.
