Lahat ng Kabanata ng The Billionaire's Biggest Regret : Kabanata 61 - Kabanata 70

Nicole's pov I stood frozen for a moment, until Sam gently touched my arm, and I turned away from the scene, forcing myself to keep moving.We walked from ward to ward after that, checking patient charts and reviewing their progress one by one, though my mind kept drifting back to that small, still face. We entered another ward when my phone buzzed in my pocket. I pulled it out and saw a message from David.(Hey baby, can you come around the office today?)I typed back quickly. (Alright, I'm almost done with work.)I finished reviewing the last patient, handed the file and my lab coat over to Sam, and made my way out of the hospital toward my car.I drove straight to David's company.When I walked in, the receptionist recognized me from before and waved me through without hesitation. I walked down the hallway toward his office. When I reached his door, I knocked twice and waited for a moment before opening it and stepping inside.David was there with his business partner, the same

Nicole's pov “Just leave her alone. Besides, I’m coming over to your place today,” I said.David stopped and turned back to me. His eyebrows lifted, and a surprised smile appeared on his face.“Are you serious?” he asked.I nodded. “Yes, I am.”I stepped closer and placed my hands lightly on his chest.“Since you’re already here, why not give me a ride to your place?”I turned and walked toward his car, leaving him standing there for a moment before he followed.I opened the passenger door and got inside.David paused beside the car and looked back toward my front door. His hand rested on the door frame for a moment.I glanced toward the house, my fingers tightened around the edge of my seat.Please, don't let Emma or Jayden come outside now.I tilted my head slightly, catching his attention. “Let’s go, David.”He finally turned, adjusted his suit jacket, and got into the driver's seat. He closed the door behind him, started the car, and pulled away from the house.After a long stre

Nicole's pov The next day, I headed home. The moment I stepped inside, Jayden came running toward me and threw his arms around me.“Mommy!” He pulled back and looked up at me. “You said you were going to come home yesterday.”I bent down and hugged him again.“I’m sorry, honey. I had to take care of some patients at the hospital.”He looked down at the floor.“You know Mommy has to help people get better,” I said, gently lifting his chin. “I have to help save lives.” I got to my feet.Jayden looked at me for a moment before a small smile appeared on his face.“Okay,” he said.I smiled and hugged him again."Hi," Emma said, walking past us toward the kitchen."Hi," I replied, turning to follow her briefly with my eyes.“Mommy, look at this,” Jayden said.He turned the tablet toward me and pointed at the screen. A picture of a ball and a few small toys filled the screen.“I want these,” he said, looking up at me."Honey, is that what you want?" I asked.He nodded eagerly."Let's go ge

Nicole's pov I stepped closer to the door and carefully leaned toward the small opening. I pressed my ear against it, holding my breath for a moment.The voices inside were low, and I could barely make out the words. I tilted my head slightly, trying to catch every sound that reached me.“What are you doing there?” a voice suddenly asked from behind me.I flinched and pulled away from the door so quickly that I nearly lost my balance. My heart jumped, and I turned around.The hospital cleaner stood a few feet away, one hand resting on the handle of her cleaning cart. The cart was parked beside her, filled with bottles, clothes, and other cleaning supplies.For a second, I just stared at her.Then I quickly straightened my back and lowered my hands to my sides, trying to look as though I had been doing nothing unusual."Oh, you mean me?" I said, forcing a small laugh.She looked at me for a moment, then her eyes widened slightly as she recognized me.“Oh.” She quickly lowered her hand

Nicole's pov The day of the trip came faster than I expected.That morning, I stood beside Jayden and gently kissed his forehead before leaving the house. My fingers lingered in his hair for a moment before I finally pulled away.“Mommy will be back soon,” I whispered.I hated the thought of being away from him for even a few days, but knowing Emma would be with him made it a little easier to leave.Still, as I walked out of the house, I found myself looking back one more time.Now, I sat by the bus window, watching the hospital parking lot slowly disappear behind us. The bus moved forward, carrying us away from the hospital and toward the trip.I rested my head lightly against the window and watched the familiar building grow smaller.“Finally, we’re moving!” a colleague called from the back of the bus.A few people laughed, and the sound spread through the bus.I smiled faintly and turned away from the window, looking at my colleagues as the excitement around me grew.The bus rolle
