Chapter 1408

Without sparing him a glance, Nicole continued to stare at Jared. ” No, I wish to stay with him.”

At this moment, no one was as important as Jared in her world. The only person who mattered was Jared. In response, Harvey looked at Nicole’s steely gaze and gave up on his attempt to persuade her.

Judging by the look on her face, Harvey knew that, regardless of what he had to say, Nicole would not leave this place. “That’s fine. I’ll be here with you then,”

Harvey turned around to look at the unconscious Jared lying on the sick bed. He wished Jared would wake up sooner. That way, Nicole could be at ease.

Nicole sat at Jared’s sick bed, maintaining her silence. Both of her hands were cupping Jared’s, not letting go even for a moment. Looking at his ashen face and tightly shut eyes, Nicole was desperately hoping that he would suddenly open his eyes and talk to her.

Yet, as time flew by, all was silent, barring the beeping emanating from the vital signs monitor.

When Max had returned and walked in with a bag of takeaways, Harvey looked at Nicole’s already stiff figure and was about to say something.

Then, he looked at Nicole, and in a gentle tone of voice, he said, ” Nicole, dinner is here. You should go and eat something, okay?”

Having heard Harvey’s words, she looked over her shoulder and glanced at him. Max then walked over and joined Harvey in persuading her, and it was only then that was she willing to eat something.

Seeing that Nicole was willing to come over and eat something, Harvey and Max looked at each other respectfully and issued sighs of relief. Max proceeded to prepare the cutlery for her while Harvey stayed back to tend to Jared.

Although Nicole was eating, her gaze was still focused on Jared’s general direction. She hurriedly took a few bites, after which she returned to Jared’s bed again.

Noticing how quickly she had eaten and returned, Harvey said, ” You should eat your meal in peace.

We’re all in the same ward. Nothing will happen to Jared. Besides, I’m right next to him.”

“I’m done eating. It’s fine since I’m here. You should go home early to get some rest,” Nicole sat back in her original position.

Harvey looked at Nicole’s forlorn state and could not help but feel bad for her.

Then, he said, “Nicole, you have been sitting here for quite a long time. You should return to your ward to get some rest. If you collapse from exhaustion, who is going to take care of Jared?”

“I can’t go back. I want to stay here to take care of Jared. I don’t want him to get anxious if he wakes up and doesn’t see me,” Nicole said, adamant on not wanting to leave.

The helpless Harvey could only stand up and walk over to Max.

“I see that there is enough space for another sickbed. You should go and arrange for one and have them push Nicole’s bed over. Or else, from what I see, she won’t be going back,” Harvey said as he turned around to glance at Nicole.

“Alright, but we can only do it right now, so I am going to arrange it right away,” Max shot Nicole a glance, after which he left and did as he was told.

Harvey stayed at the sick ward to keep Nicole company, and after 10 minutes, Max walked in, bringing along with him a group of men, who proceeded to wheel Nicole’s sickbed into the room.

Then, he approach Nicole from the side and said gently, “Nicole, you can continue to stay here and accompany Jared.”

Nicole looked at Harvey and thought, ‘What is he doing again?’

The next second, she saw the sick bed behind him. It was indeed her sickbed.

“How were you able to move my bed over?” Nicole asked him, surprised.

“You shouldn’t blame me. You kept sitting there, so I got worried. That was why I got Max to move your sick bed here. That way, you can rest on your bed while keeping Jared company.”

“You can’t, and I won’t allow you to refuse anymore, “Harvey said while looking at her affectionately.
