âI was asleep.
Just woke up,â Nicole clarified.
âFantastic! You managed to sleep until 10 a.
m.
!â Knowing Nicoleâs struggles with insomnia, Raegan wasnât surprised Nicole had overslept.
However, this extended rest was unusual.
Nicole felt she had slept deeply, yet her body remained fatigued.
âIâm unsure why.
Nonetheless, I was asleep.
â
Raegan smiled.
âWell, itâs a positive sign.
Your bodyâs getting better!â
âWhatâs on your mind?â Nicole inquired.
âRecall the situation involving Roscoe? I relayed it to Mitchel, and he found merit in Roscoeâs project plan, prompting his investment.
I felt it necessary to inform you, alleviating any concerns,â Raegan informed.
This development proved promising.
With the Dixon Groupâs investment, it promised not only financial support but also safeguarded the Watts Groupâs reputation.
Moreover, it would deter other investors and partners from hastily terminating their agreements with Roscoe, opting instead to observe the outcomes.
This would effectively address the Watts Groupâs cash flow challenges while affording Roscoe more time to secure funding.
âThank you, Raegan,â Nicole expressed gratitude.
âNo need to thank me, Mitchel is impartial, and his support wasnât merely based on my recommendation.
Roscoeâs project holds merit.
â
Raegan was mindful of not burdening Nicole.
She clarified, âIâve reviewed the project, and itâs commendable.
Profit isnât Roscoeâs sole objective.
He aims to enhance accessibility to expensive medical equipment from abroad for mid-level hospitals, ultimately reducing costs for patients.
Heâs shifting away from the Watts Groupâs previous approach and charting a new course with significant potential.
Given his medical background, he possesses invaluable expertise in the field.
The Dixon Groupâs investment also serves a public welfare aspect.
Mitchel wouldnât have entertained it if the other party prioritized profits over societal impact.
Roscoe doesnât fit that profile.
â
âYes, heâs not,â Nicole affirmed.
No one comprehended this reality better than Nicole.
Roscoe aspired to become a doctor without borders, aiding as many people in need as possible.
Regrettably, he had been ensnared in this turmoil because of her.
She felt sorry, yet powerless, as he was too obstinate.
While conversing with Raegan, Nicole absentmindedly uncapped a jar of blueberry jam on the table and spread it onto a slice of toast.
However, upon catching the scent of blueberries, Nicole was overcome by a wave of nausea.
Attempting to suppress it, she ended up dry heaving several times.
Raegan, alerted by the disturbance, inquired, âWhatâs the matter, Nicole?â
âItâs nothing.
My stomach just feels a bit acidic,â Nicole replied.
She examined the jar of blueberry jam and noted that it hadnât expired and didnât emit any foul odors.
Nevertheless, inexplicably, she found herself unable to tolerate the scent.
After returning the jar to the cupboard, Nicole heard Raeganâs unexpected remark.
âYou scared me.
I had the impression you might be pregnant again.
â
âThatâs impossible,â Nicole said.
Raegan explained, âDuring my initial pregnancy, I felt fine.
However, later on, I became incredibly sensitive.
The slightest smell would trigger nausea.
Fortunately, it subsided after four months.
â
Nicoleâs heart raced at the mere mention of pregnancy.
Pregnant? How could it even be conceivable? She and Jarrodâ¦
