Chapter 2199
The Divorced Billionaire Heiress
Heâs There Euan looked embarrassed.
He regretted having proposed the project in the first place.
It was not because the man he admired died, but because Nicole lost her husband.
Euan could not figure out why Nicole brought up this project again.
Everyone was still wallowing in sadness and had not gotten over the tragedy, but Nicole was already
planning to rebuild the area.
Nicole paused.
Her tone was cold and indifferent.
âMr. Churchill, the relevant authorities have shown great support for the reconstruction of the disaster
zone.
They also need a brand new project to cover up the damage.â âBut Clayton was there...â Euan saw
Nicoleâs face turn pale, so he immediately stopped talking.
It was a slip of the tongue.
âMs. Stanton, why bother?â Nicole pursed her lips.
âYes, youâre right.
Itâs because Clayton is there.â She needed to make up for the emptiness in her heart.
Nicole did not want to avoid or be overly sensitive about that area.
She did not want to leave Clayton there alone.
She wanted to build a brand new, high-end resort there so that she could visit him often in the future.
Mr. Churchill paused for a while before he spoke.
âOkay, since youâve said so, I have no objections to it.
Youâre an investor in this project, so I'll take your suggestions.
When the project is completed, we can go over and attend the opening ceremony together.â Nicole
nodded.
Euan silently signed his name on the contract.
Nicole looked relieved, gently shook hands with him, and retracted her hand.
âT'll get my secretary to contact your people.
Please start work as soon as possible.â âOkay.
â After seeing Euan off, Nicole turned to look at Kai.
Kai was talking to the psychiatrist casually.
They looked relaxed, which was a completely different atmosphere compared to her conversation with
Euan just now.
Kai stretched out his hand and beckoned to her.
âLil N, come here...â Nicole was already used to Kaiâs habit of making himself at home at her office.
She walked over and sat on the chair next to Kai.
Kai smiled.
âThis is a renowned psychiatrist who came back from abroad.
The authorities are advocating psychological counseling for survivors in the disaster zone, so I
specially found him for you.
By the way, Iâve already paid him, so you have to stay here and actively cooperate with the treatment.
Therapy will be beneficial for you.
Grant has something to do in the evening, so you have to pick the kids up from school later!â Nicole
was stunned for a moment as she listened to Kaiâs arrangements on her own affairs.
Besides that, Kai even instructed her to do other errands.
Kai did not give her any free time.
âwait, why canât you ask Dad or Mr. Anderson to pick up the kids? I have a business engagement
tonight...â Kai clicked his tongue.
âNope.
That wonât do.
Thereâs a parent- teacher meeting tonight.
Do you want to tire out and torment Dad or Mr. Anderson if the school organized some parent-child
activities?â Nicole was speechless.
Kai fiddled with his car keys.
âRemember to arrange your time properly.
I still have something todo.â âWhat else do you have to do? Julie said sheâd come to see me this
afternoon...â Kai replied, âI made an appointment to play golf, and I gotta make a guest appearance at
an event later.
How could Julie set aside time for you when she doesnât even want to go on a date with me? This is
outrageous! I'll settle the score with her later!â He said as he cursed and left the office.
Nicole was speechless.
It did not feel like Kai was there to coax her but to find fault with her.
The psychiatrist in the office smiled.
âMs. Stanton, I can tell that you have a very good relationship with your brother.
Mr. Stanton has told me about your situation briefly, so 1 understand the gist of it.
Please, take a seat...â Nicole sighed helplessly.
âIâm sorry. I really have other things to attend to.
I wasnât aware of my brotherâs arrangement.
Why donât you just take it as weâve done a session, then you can leave.â The psychiatrist shook his
head and said sincerely, âI canât do that.
Mr. Stanton will follow up with me later.
He said that if I leave without assessing your condition, heâll report me to the association and have my
license blocked.
I donât want to risk my career.â Nicole was speechless as she thought, âKai is too ruthless!â The
psychiatrist sighed worriedly.
âTo be honest, I was really scared to be picked by Mr. Stanton, but Talso felt honored.â He was honored
that Kai recognized his ability and was scared that Kai could ruin his career at any time.
Nicole was silent for a few seconds and walked over.
âFine. That does sound like something my third brother will do...â Nicole believed it was not just a
threat.
The psychiatrist smiled and looked at her.
âMany people who have gone through a sudden loss will need around three months to over a year to
grieve.
In fact, not everyone will have post-traumatic stress disorder as some people have a strong self-
recovery ability while some are weaker.â Nicole nodded and looked at her watch.
She clearly did not want to listen to him.
She looked perfunctory and absent-minded.
The psychiatrist smiled and looked out the window.
He did not mind her attitude.
âHave you ever thought about ending it all or thought about harming yourself?â Nicole froze and
immediately shook her head.
a No.
â The psychiatrist glanced at her, looking deep in thought.
Then, he nodded with a smile.
âThatâs good.
It means itâs not serious.â â1 donât need medication or therapy.
My family is just overly anxious.
I just need time to heal.â The psychiatrist nodded approvingly.
âYes, time is the cure for everything.â He took out a transparent bottle from his bag that contained small
white pills.
âBut sometimes, we also need the assistance of modern medicine.
Ms. Stanton, you can take one tablet a day when you have trouble sleeping.
This is a weekly dose.
After a week, you can come to me again, and I'll prescribe the next course of medicine for you.â Nicole
froze completely.
She stared dumbfoundedly at the glass bottle on the table.
The psychiatrist only prescribed one weekâs worth of sleeping pills to avoid an overdose.
Nicole needed sleep aids.
However, she did not dare to tell anyone and could only rely on herself.
No one knew that she could not sleep every night.
Even so, Nicole could only pretend that nothing was wrong with her.
When the doctor asked about her condition, Nicole had given the standard answer that was a complete
lie.
However, he was able to see through her.
Although he did not expose her lies, he gave her what she needed most.
The psychiatrist looked at her silently for a few seconds.
âMs. Stanton, donât isolate yourself.
Itâs a good thing to keep yourself busy.
Reach out to me if you want to talk.
For this week, you can adjust your sleep.â Nicole lowered her eyes and nodded.
The doctor smiled and stood up.
âT wonât bother you then.
Goodbye, Ms. Stanton.â Nicole nodded and stood up to send him out.
She did not know if it was the psychiatristâs calming temperament that gave off healing vibes.
After talking to him, Nicole felt that the heavy burden in her heart was slightly relieved.
When Logan knocked on the door and came in, Nicole subconsciously hid the glass bottle on the table
in her hand.
Sure enough, Logan did not notice it.
