Chapter 344 Let’s Get Busy
Seeing how exhausted she was, Colton felt his heart wrenching for Nicole, but he also knew that if she wanted to operate on Benedict, she had to overcome the difficulties that she was facing.
“Don’t rush it. Grandpa’s situation is now relatively stable. So, just take it easy and relax.”
Colton didn’t give her any pressure, but because she had such a history with Benedict, she definitely wanted to do her best to save him. Just this thought alone was enough to set his mind at ease.
Closing her eyes, Nicole rested for a few minutes in bed. Then, she pursed her lips before saying directly, “I cannot allow anything to go wrong when it comes to Old Mr. Benedict.”
After saying that, she lifted the sheets and got out of bed. Although she didn’t know how long she had slept, she felt much more energetic and decided to check up on the rabbit.
Watching the determined woman in front of him, he didn’t stop her and followed her to the lab where the rabbit had woken up. However, maybe it was because the anesthesia had only just worn off that it was now squatting motionlessly at a corner.
Seeing that Nicole had returned, Julia hurriedly said in excitement, “Nicole, Richard and I had just done a check-up on the rabbit, and there’s nothing wrong with it. The stitches and everything about the surgery is very successful.”
A look of relief washed over Nicole’s face and she sighed silently. Luckily, my medical skills haven’t regressed yet. Giving Julia a nod, she pulled herself together before announcing, “Let’s carry on with the next step, then. I’ve had enough rest.”
Seeing the hurried look on Nicole’s face, Julia didn’t turn her down and swiftly started getting to work.
When Richard saw that the girls were starting to get busy, he took a couple of steps backward without a word and went to Colton’s side. Stealing a look at him, he saw that he was staring unblinkingly at Nicole.
“Haha! Hey, Colton. Keep your eyes away. You’re staring so much that you’re going to make her embarrassed.” Richard couldn’t help but think Colton was too into Nicole.
After hearing Richard’s reminder, Colton looked away and swept his eyes over the man before shifting them back to Nicole again, saying calmly, “Let’s go back.”
Raising his brows in surprise, Richard asked with a grin, “I thought you would like to stay here. Why are you enlightened all of a sudden?”
Colton pursed his lips as he watched Nicole, who was getting down to business. Sticking his hands into his pockets, he answered, “It’s useless for me to stay here, and I’ll even disturb her.”
Richard couldn’t help but laugh when he saw how much self-awareness Colton had. “I didn’t imagine that after not seeing you for many years, there would be a change to your bad habit. You no longer have that big ego of yours anymore.”
Without a word, Colton walked out, and since Richard couldn’t be of any help here either and saw that Julia was also starting to get busy, he smirked and left with Colton.
…
At Gardner Corporation, Kylie was sure that something must have happened because Nicole hadn’t been around for the past few days and only her assistant, Whitney, was around.
“Say, Joanna. Did something happen to Nicole? She didn’t come to the office for the past few days, and she seemed to be in a rush the last time she left.”
Joanna peered at Kylie in front of her; this woman was still the chief designer at F&M Apparel, and even though she was useless in Gardner Corporation, she had to respect Kylie a little because of her title.
“Maybe,” Joanna answered casually, not knowing what Kylie wanted to say.
Kylie twisted the edges of her lips into a smirk and said lazily, “This is great. The Golden Brush Competition is about to start soon.”
The light in Joanna’s eyes shone brightly. That’s right. I was so busy these few days that I almost forgot about this.
Held once every four years, the Golden Brush Competition only had one nomination spot for every company.
