Fiancé Uncle 162 Chapter 162 She let go of Nicolas. "No matter what, I have to thank you. If you don't cand save me, I might end up worse." Guilt flashed across Nicolas's eyes. "I'm late. My announcement of our marriage will attract everyone's attention. I have arranged everything and thought I was fast enough, but I didn't expect..." Nicolas did not expect the Rowland Family to be so ruthless. Thea was their flesh and blood. Regardless, they still chose to harm her.
Thea smiled, and her tears almost fell. She was touched by Nicolas's effort. "They've always been like this. I've embarrassed myself in front of you." Thea could only blherself for not being strong enough to save herself. She did not expect that Nicolas would choose to go so far and save her.
Nicolas had long been prepared to publicize their marriage. Although Thea didn't pay attention to the news, she knew the public announcement would cause an uproar. Perhaps it would even affect Nicolas. The more she thought about it, the more guilty she felt.
"I'm sorry." Thea lowered her head and clutched the corner of Nicolas's shirt. "This problem wouldn't exist if I hadn't returned to my family." Nicolas frowned in disagreement. "Their influence is strong, and you've fallen to it. Do you think that all your mistakes are entirely yours?" His words were sharp. But Thea had to admit that he had a point. She wiped the tears on her face and pouted. "Your words are unpleasant to my ears." Nicolas stretched out his hand. "Can you walk? I'll bring you to the hospital for a quick examination. I saw you slept the entire night yesterday, so I didn't disturb you. Although your leg has been treated, we still need to ensure." Thea nodded and placed her hand on his palm. Feeling his warmth, her cold heart gradually thawed. Last time, she was not in a good state of mind, so she did not pay attention to other's opinions. But when Nicolas carried her out at that moment she could feel many peopl Thea felt their doubts, surprises, curiosities, and spure malice. Then, she whispered in Nicolas's arms, "This doesn't seem appropriate, right? Why don't you putdown first?" Nicolas smirked. "What's so inappropriate about this? From a moral point of view, or a legal point of view?" Thea couldn't argue. After thinking about it carefully, she realized there was nothing inappropriate. After all, they were a married couple. There should be no issue for a husband to carry his wife. So, she straightened her back in confidence.

It would take 100 days for her bones to recover. Her bones were not seriously injured, but it would take a long tto heal. There mig Thea's heart skipped a beat. If she suffered any sequelae because of this, she would personally break Emmalie and Duncan Rowland's legs.
As if reading her mind, Nicolas asked, "Do you know the culprit? Thea glanced at him. She had an answer in her heart but did not say it. However, Nicolas understood her gaze and stood up. Since you know, you should know that the most important thing now is to rest well in the hospital and recuperate. Only then will you have the stren After Nicolas left, Thea checked Max's message. She wasn't in a hurry to reply. But suddenly, a news notification popped up: 1/3 Chapter 162 [The Luxurious and Lively Birthday Banquet at the Rowland Family's Residence: Announcing the Family's Heir.] Thea's eyebrows twitched. She suddenly had a bad feeling. Indeed, the article contained several photos. The woman in the photo had a graceful figure. She wore a light blue fishtail dress, looking elegant and generous. Although her facial features were unclear, Thea could +5 Thea knew this was the Rowland family's counterattack. They bribed the media and deliberately leaked the news to the public, making Emmalie the person in Grandpa's will. If Thea were to speak up, they could accuse her of monopolizing the inheritance.
However, they missed a crucial point. Thea's grandfather didn't state that his inheritance would be money. No one, including Thea, knew what it was. However, the Rowland Family seemed to think it was money.
After thinking about it carefully, Thea felt the need for an ally. She opened the chatbox with Max and replied: [Okay, I'm willing to speak with you. But I have a condition. No one else in the Rowland family can know about this.] Max quickly replied: [I assure you they won't know.] Thea did not completely forgive Max. She chose to work with him because she knew that deep in his heart, the most important thing was not kinship but benefits. Additionally, Max was the only person in the family who was self-aware. He knew what the price of offending Nicolas was.
No matter how far her relationship with Nicolas would go in the future, based on the current situation, at least she held the title of Mrs. Hendrix.
"Miss Rowland." A female voice suddenly cfrom the door.
Before Thea could look up, Madelyn walked in hastily. She was enthusiastic and carried something in her hand. "I know you're sick and hospitalized, so I cto see you. Are you alright now?" As Madelyn spoke, she glanced at Thea's phone. Thea immediately turned off the screen and looked at Madelyn. She looked different from before.
Madelyn looked as if seeking validation by wearing flashy clothes and luxury items. However, she looked too flashy in her clothes and looked like a new money. As expected, money could not buy class.
Regardless, Thea wanted to tell her that Jake had chosen her back then only because of her innocent trait.

Sometimes, she felt it was Thea straightened her back and looked away from Madelyn. Her tone was indifferent. "I heard you and Jake are getting married. I'm glad to hear that. I wish you a long, happy life." Madelyn did not expect that to be Thea's opinion, and her smile stiffened. She wanted to bring this up to provoke Thea. At the very least, she could see how angry she would get from embarrassment.
Madelyn's goal was to make Thea jealous and compare Jake with Nicolas. This way, Madelyn could understand that she cared about Jake. Unexpectedly, Thea was surprisingly calm from the beginning.
Madelyn suddenly felt a strong sense of discomfort. It was not easy for her to get where she was, but in Thea's N eyes, she was still the sMadelyn she looked down on. 'Why? Why does she always look down on me?"
