Chapter 281
“You’ve gotten my forgiveness, so stop blaming yourself.” 1
Jimmy looked and the fair complexion of Nicole’s face. He understood what she was implying and
clenched his fists while nodding furiously. When Nicole saw that he had gotten over the incident, a faint
smile crept into her eyes.
Just as Nicole relaxed her nerves, she suddenly felt her vision grow a little blurry. She lightly shook her
head as if she wanted to regain the clarity in her vision. However, it was to no avail.
Her vision gradually darkened. The last thing that she saw was Jared’s handsome yet anxious face. He
seemed to have caught her.
Nicole gently shut her eyes.
When Nicole woke up, she saw unfamiliar decorations in front of her. For a moment, she was stunned.
She turned over and got off the bed. Suddenly, she looked as if she had realized something. She looked
into the mirror and saw a girl in furry bear pajamas. She somewhat understood the situation.
When Jared walked in, his eyes coincidentally met with hers in the mirror. He laughed for a second but
quickly straightened his expression and walked toward Nicole. He did not let her speak and forcefully sat
her on the bed.
Nicole looked at him. She did not understand why he had such a serious expression.
“Are you alright?”
Jared did not expect her first sentence to be about him. He was stunned for a full second.
‘She had fainted, yet she is still worried about me,’ he thought.
His expression grew even more serious. When he looked at Nicole once more, his expression turned
extremely cold. Then, with a tense expression, he stared into Nicole’s eyes.
‘Does she have any idea how I felt when I watched her faint?’ he thought.
Nicole watched the man in front of her calmly. She even had the mood to smile at him, “I’m fine. I just
haven’t slept in a few days. I can’t control myself when I relax.”
This was an aftereffect of not sleeping for seven days. It was probably something like a self defense
mechanism for her body.
When Jared saw how she discussed the matter lightly, he was so furious he could not help but start
smiling. His almond-shaped eyes narrowed. Suddenly, Nicole felt a hint of unexplainable nervousness
even though his gaze seemed the same as usual.
This feeling was unfamiliar to Nicole. She gazed back at Jared with her clear eyes.
Jared sighed softly and stuck his hand out to Nicole. His fingers had beautiful bone structure.
Nicole watched his expression and held his hand in consideration of his feelings.
Jared stared at her right hand in a trance. Her slender and fair wrist that was touching him made him feel
extra tender.
Nicole noticed the look in his eyes and did not avoid him.
After a moment, Jared said softly, “You’ve been unconscious for less than an hour.”
He looked at Nicole with eyes that looked like they were covered by a dark shadow.
*The doctor said you were overtired and had too little to eat for the past few days. On top of that, you did
not get enough rest.”
He said as he caressed her wrist with a hint of sadness.
“Nicole, don’t make me worry.”
Nicole stared at his dark eyes and did not look away. Instead, she held his hand backhanded. She had
light-colored eyes. They looked focused and beautiful as she gazed at Jared. She placed her hand in her
palm and said in a charming tone, “Jared, I’m hungry.” Jared was instantly speechless.
But he could not resist this woman’s coquettish actions.
After all… This was the first time she was revealing this side of herself to him.
“I’ve sent someone to prepare a meal. It’ll be ready soon.” Jared said while holding her.
“Alright. Now, tell me, who changed my clothes?
