Chapter 2384
As the two chatted away, they heard a sudden string of knocks on the door.
"Who is it?" Nicole asked, confused. 'Who would come to my room at this time?'
"Miss Nicole? Mr. Royce is here to visit you," the butler announced from outside.
"Lawrence!?" Nicole was surprised. "Lawrence actually came to my house to visit me.'
This prompted Tia to stand up and say, "Miss Nicole? I'll leave now."
Since a guest had arrived, it was better for her to leave.
After opening the door, Tia waited for Lawrence to come in before closing it and leaving.
Lawrence approached the bedside and looked at Nicole in her current state, during which he could not help but
crease his forehead. "Your recovery is really slow. Should we get another doctor to take a look?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt'Why is she still confined in bed? Is the medical treatment not good enough?' he wondered.
Nicole's lips twitched, but she could only pretend to be calm and said, "Never mind. I've actually recovered quite a
bit. I just feel a little tired, so here I am, getting some rest."
There was no way she could say that she was still in bed because Jared did not allow her to move about.
Hearing that, Lawrence breathed a sigh of relief and said," Well, you should rest well if you feel tired."
"Why do you have the time to come today?" Nicole changed the subject.
"I was planning to visit you at the hospital, but I heard you had been discharged, so I came to your house instead,"
Lawrence calmly explained.
A slight smile crossed Nicole's face. "Actually, I'm not badly injured. You don't need to worry so much."
"You're still injured anyway. It's better to be a little more careful," Lawrence sat down, looking at Nicole's somewhat
pale complexion.
He could not help but feel a little sorry as he said, "You don't look so good. You should have some nourishing
supplements. I've brought some over and handed them to the butler. He'll arrange for them to be prepared for
you."
"Thank you." Nicole thanked him politely, as the butler had already received them.
"Don't mention it. If your recovery is slow, it's a loss for me too. After all, we still have projects that need to be
advanced," Lawrence stated jokingly.
In return, Nicole playfully rolled her eyes at him. "I never knew you were so obsessed with money before this."
"Wasn't I always like that?" Lawrence feigned surprise.
"I guess it's just because I didn't know before." Nicole shrugged, playing along as she knew Lawrence was just
kidding.
"That's probably because of the air in San Joto. I guess I changed after coming here." Lawrence shifted the blame

Nicole nodded. "That's probably it."
A soft smile crossed Lawrence's eyes when he noted Nicole's antics. "Then that's settled."
As the two chatted and laughed, Nicole knew that Lawrence had come just to see her with no other intentions in
mind. So, they chatted like friends in a relaxed and easygoing fashion.
"Miss Nicole, please have some fruits." Tia came in and placed a plate of fruits down without leaving.
She wanted to remind Nicole to get more rest. But as the guest showed no signs of leaving, and with the fact that
she could not shoo him off blatantly, she decided to stay and, thinking that Lawrence would find her presence
bothersome.
However, Nicole saw through Tia's intentions, leaving her amused. 'This girl is a witty one.'
Lawrence, having also noticed Tia's intentions, proceeded to take his leave.
"You should rest. I'll come to see you another day,"
Lawrence said softly as he turned around and strode off.
