Chapter 2265
Jared was very protective of Nicole. He knew that Nicole did not care about the Riddle family as a corporate entity,
knowing that Sean would be the one to eventually inherit everything. However, it did not stop the public from
gossiping about it.
Nicole flashed a dazed smile at Jared as she listened on to his cocky remarks. 'How can he be so handsome? I love
it when he's like this.'
"They have no chance of winning."
Though everything was going according to Nicole's plan, she was curious as to how things would end up between
Harvey, Snow, and Everett. On one hand, she had totally given up hoping that Everett and Snow would put up a
good fight, but on the other, James Harlow was a walking, ticking time bomb.

about work."
Though there were unsolved issues at work daily, Jared was a person who preferred to look at the end result than
to ruminate over the trivial and unnecessary.
"Okay. I won't think too much about it. Martin told me that I shouldn't exert my brain too much." Nicole nodded in
agreement to Jared's advice.
Jared looked at Nicole affectionately, though with a slight frown, "How's the treatment going for you?"
Jared was aware that Nicole had been going to Martin for treatments, and during each time, he would be occupied
and unable to leave work. As such, Jared felt guilty and apologetic that he could not be there with her.
"There's not much progress lately. We're focusing on the same treatment, but the good thing is, I don't feel as
much pain as I did before." Nicole flashed him a faint smile.
'Perhaps things are gradually getting better. I've gotten to build my pain tolerance too. Whatever the end result
would be, I guess there are pros and cons,' Nicole thought.
Jared's forehead creased in distress as he heard Nicole tell him about her progress. He was aware of how much
effort she had put in to endure the painful treatment just to get her memories back.
'Til come with you in the future," Jared said in a soft voice.
'If she was in that much pain, why didn't she let me come over to accompany her?' Jared thought to herself.
"No. I think it's best I go alone since you're heavily involved with my memories. It might muddle up the lines
between memory and reality if you're there," Nicole declined.
Nicole had seen some slight improvement in her treatment plans as she could now picture a few scenes out,
though she was still unable to tell who was who. It was a major concern for Nicole that Jared would see her like that
in that state.

Jared felt helpless as he envisioned Nicole being in pain and refusing his help.
Noticing that Jared was distraught, Nicole said, "How about we make a deal? You'll be the first to know if I have
recovered my memories. Cool?"
Jared gave Nicole an affectionate stare before he breathed a sigh of defeat. "Okay, we have a deal."
Nicole let out a laugh in response. "Yay!"
Jared's eyes finally softened up after seeing that Nicole was happy. Nicole too was glad that Jared was not
distressed anymore. Then, she leaned onto his shoulder with a look of contentment.
Soon after, they reached the Riddle residence. Nolan and Lana had just arrived home mere minutes before them.
They both immediately ran up to their parents who had also just arrived.
"Daddy! Mommy!"
Jared reached out and hoisted Lana up into his arms, before booping her tiny button nose. "Have you been a good
girl today?"
"Yes!" Lana nodded.
"I know you're a good girl." Jared sauntered into the house with Lana in his arms.
