Chapter 2523

With two boxes in hand, Lulu asked, “Are we just going to visit Mr. Ellison with these?”

“It’s more than enough. He’s sick now. These will suit him better,” Nicole replied, entering the Royal Creek Institute campus grounds before making a beeline for the small courtyard in the northwest corner.

“How did Mr. Ellison suddenly fall sick?” Lulu asked, concerned. “There’s no one watching over him either. He must be feeling worse than sick. No wonder he’s recovering so slowly.”

“So here we are, paying him a much needed visit,” Nicole said, bringing Lulu into the courtyard.

Then, while entering the living room, Nicole called out, “Mr. Ellison!?”

“Oh my, is this Nicole here?” Mr. Ellison asked, recognizing Nicole through her voice.

He then greeted, “Come on in.”

Taking Lulu into the room, Nicole asked, “How are you feeling these days?”

“The same old. Don’t you worry about me. I’m just relapsing. I’ll be fine after some time,” Mr. Ellison explained, putting on a smile.

“Mr. Ellison, these are the vitamins Nicole has purchased for you. They’re good for your health,” Lulu said while placing the boxes on the coffee table.

She then instructed, “Do remember to let your caretaker help you with it.”

“Thank you. I truly appreciate it,” Mr. Ellison thanked.

“You know, you didn’t have to prepare all these for me. My age is the reason for my frailty,” Mr. Ellison said in a show of self-deprecation.

“Mr. Ellison, don’t say that. You must take good care of yourself, so we won’t have to be worried about you. Besides, the students need you. You have to get well soon,” Lulu encouraged.

“Hahaha. Alright, I’ll try my best,” Mr. Ellison said with a smile.

Nicole and Lulu chatted with Mr. Ellison for a while and left the place only when the caretaker served him lunch.

Before leaving, Nicole advised, “Get some rest after your lunch. We’ll head back first.”

“Yeah. We’ll be back to visit you,” Lulu promised.

With the two girls accompanying him, Mr. Ellison’s spirits heightened by a little.

He smiled, now in a mood better than he was in before.” Sure thing. I won’t keep you any longer. You’re always welcome to visit.”

Nicole and Lulu exchanged glances after they came out of the courtyard under the blazing sun. “Should we grab our lunch nearby?”

“Sounds good to me. Let’s head back after some food,” Nicole agreed.

Lulu’s eyes lit up, and that was when she suggested, “What about the institute’s cafeteria?”

Hearing that, Nicole chuckled. “I’m missing our good old days in school already.”

“I know, right? It’s a shame we can’t go back in time. However, it’s still nice to experience it once in a while,” Lulu added.

The two approached the cafeteria as they chatted.

This continued all the way to the cafeteria as they recalled memories and moments from the past.

While Nicole was responding to Lulu, her gaze was fixed in the general direction of Mr. Ellison’s home.

A smirk played out on her lips as she spotted a figure walking out of the area.

Nicole figured that Harvey had gotten someone to keep an eye on her. She was fine with it, as she could use this opportunity to visit Mr. Ellison more frequently. In that way, Harvey would suspect that she had gotten some information from Mr. Ellison, when in reality, it was done to throw him off, causing him to overlook key aspects to what she was upto.

“Come on, Nicole,” Lulu urged, causing Nicole to return to her senses and follow her.

Meanwhile, the figure, who had skedaddled from Mr. Ellison’s home, went on to leave Royal Creek Institute and headed straight to Ellison Group.

“Mr. Ellison? Nicole went to the Royal Creek Institute where your grandfather was, and stayed there for quite a bit. I did not follow them to the cafeteria and hurried back to inform you of the situation,” a person in a baseball cap whispered to Harvey.

“Royal Creek Institute?” Harvey asked with a frown. ‘Why did Nicole visit him? Was he able to help Nicole in some way?”

“Could your grandfather be hiding something?” the person in the baseball cap suggested.

A trace of coldness crossed Harvey’s eyes. “Keep on following him and find out more about the situation.”

“Yes,” the person in the black baseball cap agreed.

Then, he left.
