Chapter 2032
Nicole could not help but smile when she saw how well everyone was treating Nolan 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 blanched.
"Stop thinking. Just take things as they come," Jared said softly.
He seemed to have noticed that Nicole was struggling with something, so he held her soft hand in an attempt to
comfort 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
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNicole?"
"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 his large palms as he comforted 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.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThen, he began patting her back gently to ease her emotions.
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 he comforted her in a soft voice.
Nicole was so stressed out that she was left completely 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 relationship would perhaps return to how it used to be, but she
could not promise him anything now.
