Chapter 2183

Nicole then felt as if she was taking a dive into her memories, her brain filled with random fragments of events she had experienced in the past. However, she could not get a grasp on any of those fragments. No matter how hard Nicole tried, she could not get a clear picture of what it was.

“Ouch.” Nicole finally opened her eyes, trying to regain her senses after being rendered unconscious.

“Are you okay?” Martin, who was in shock, asked in concern.

Nicole’s cognizance gradually returned. She turned to look at Martin and shook her head.

“It’s okay,” he reassured.

Martin then poured a glass of water and handed it to Nicole. “Drink up and take some rest.”

“Okay.” Nicole took The Moon off her head and grabbed the glass of water.

“Don’t worry, you are worrying too much about this. It won’t help you at all,” Martin said in an attempt to convince Nicole.

In response, Nicole nodded. “I understand. It’s just that I saw a lot of fragments just now, and I couldn’t see them clearly no matter how hard I tried. It was useless.”

On the contrary, Martin was a little surprised. “Really?! You can recall some fragments of your past!?”

‘Even if she can’t see them clearly, it is at least a good sign! Her memories might stand a chance at recovery after all!’ he thought.

“Well, it’s a shame it didn’t work out in the end,” Nicole sighed.

“It doesn’t matter if we succeed now or not. I believe that we will, eventually.” Martin’s confidence level skyrocketed.

Upon hearing that, Nicole’s eyes brimmed with determination. ‘I will get my memories back no matter how difficult it might be.’

After downing a glass of water, Nicole felt better and proceeded to request for another round of treatment there and then.

However, Martin stopped her just in time. “We can stop here. I’m afraid if we were to go on, we might not yield any results.”

Martin was worried about Nicole. He wanted her to relax and adjust herself for the time being before coming back another time.

After giving it some thought, she agreed, “Alright then.”

‘What he said made sense,’ she thought, having understood Martin’s words.

After that, Martin glanced at the time. “It’s noon. Let’s grab some lunch?”

“Sure.” Nicole agreed, reasoning that it would be fine for the two of them to have lunch together.

Soon, the two of them left the R&D Lab and settled down in a restaurant.

The both of them ordered their meal and began chatting about the availability of treatment options.

“I will have to readjust the treatment plan after I get back.” Martin smiled softly, hoping that Nicole would recover as soon as possible.

“Alright. I’ll come back right after you have made those adjustments,” Nicole replied after a moment of consideration.

Martin nodded in agreement. “I’ll definitely call you when the time comes.”

“Sure.”

Both chatted casually, and soon, when lunch was served, they dug in.

In an unfortunate turn of events, Nicole had not noticed a woman who was sitting at the corner of the restaurant, glaring at her menacingly. Iris had not expected that she would bump into Nicole here either. On top of that, to see Nicole having lunch with another man as she enjoyed herself.

Iris was uncertain as to who the man was but one thing for sure; their relationship was not as simple as it seemed. She gritted her teeth as she whipped her phone out and discreetly took a photo of the two of them, deliberately capturing them in strange angles to make them seem more intimate.

Iris stared at the screen of her phone, snorting coldly before switching to an anonymous account to send the pictures to Jared’s inbox.

Nicole, I would like to have Mr. Johnston see what exactly your true colors are. I doubt Mr. Johnston will be easily fooled by your antics this time.’
