Chapter 2197

“This kid,” Nicole shook her head helplessly. “Don’t bother with him. I’ll take him and Lana out when I have the time,”

“Hey, it’s fine. I like bringing them out,” Lawrence said with a beam.

Nicole changed the topic, not wanting to trouble Lawrence too much. Times were different from when they were on Crescent Island. In addition, Lawrence had just come to San Joto too, and thus, he must be busy with other issues.

“Seeing that you’ve come all the way to meet me personally, is there something else?” Nicole asked softly.

Lawrence sighed without another mention about bringing the kids out on the weekend. “Nothing important. I just wanted to know if there is any progress with the electronic badge you’ve once helped me decipher?” i Nicole shook her head, feeling somewhat shameful. “I’m sorry. Not yet.”

“No, it’s alright. I was just asking anyways,” Lawrence comforted Nicole as he noticed her downcast eyes.

“I’m still trying. I will let you know when there is progress,” Nicole said, her gaze glinting with a touch of determination.

Nicole knew the value of the electronic badge to Lawrence. Lawrence had aided her so much in the past, so she had always reminded herself that she had to help Lawrence decipher this electronic badge. However, up until now, there had been zero progress. This made her determined to work harder.

“It really doesn’t matter. Don’t put too much pressure on yourself,” Lawrence comforted.

Although he wanted results, he did not mean to rush her. If she could not crack it now, all he could do was wait.

“Alright,” Nicole nodded gently, deciding to decipher and obtain the badge for him as soon as possible.

“Nicole, you…” Lulu entered Nicole’s office and paused midsentence when she saw Lawrence.

Lawrence shot a glance at Lulu, stood up, and said, “It seems that you have work to do. Well, I’ll get going first.”

“Alright,” Nicole replied, aware that Lulu had come in to report something.

After sending Lawrence away, Lulu asked Nicole, “When did Mr. Royce come in? I didn’t even notice.

Did he want to talk to you about something?”

“He was just passing by,” Nicole answered, avoiding the details of the conversation. “What were you going to report about?”

“Oh,” Lulu instantly regained her composure. “June just called me. She told me that Samuel got hurt in a match and is being rushed to the hospital.”

“What?!” Nicole’s eyes widened, and her face blanched.

“I wanted to head to the hospital, so I came over to tell you,” Lulu stated, wanting to accompany June as she knew that the latter was panicking right now.

Nicole bit her lip, after which she said, “We’ll go together.”

“Alright,” Lulu agreed.

Then, Nicole hurriedly explained the situation to Sean and Steve through a phone call and left the company building with Lulu.

Soon, they arrived at the hospital. June was already there, standing outside the emergency room, anxiously looking inside. Although she could not see anything, doing so calmed her a little.

“June,” Lulu called out.

Turning her eyes to see Nicole and Lulu present, June’s calm facade, which she had been maintaining for a while, crumbled.

“You’re here,” she wept.

“How’s the situation inside?” Nicole asked with a furrowed brow.

In response, June shook her head. “It’s still unknown. All we know is that he injured his leg.”
