NovelOnlineChapter 267
The leading special force soldier could only ask respectfully. “Miss Riddle, is there anything else that
you need?”
Nicole shook her head. Seeing that, the soldiers immediately snapped into a salute as he spoke into
the walkie-talkie, “Second squad mission complete. Withdraw!”
The soldiers left the room in huge strides when they saw Damien standing outside the room. The few of
them stopped and looked at him for a few seconds before letting out a solemn smile.
“Mr. Riddle, please take good care of Miss Riddle. If we find out that anyone dares to bully her. We will
definitely pay San Joto a visit.”
At this moment, Damien’s expression got even more serious.
He had originally thought that they were just acquaintances. He did not expect those people to be so
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtprotective of her.
He really started to wonder who this Nicole was who came back from the countryside.
At the same moment, the few special forces saluted Daniel and Gloria before leaving.
Seeing that Daniel and his wife were being treated better than he was, Damien fumed as a somewhat
complicated look finally appeared on his face.
He had tried everything to get into a relationship with others, and perhaps he looked like a veritable
clown in their eyes.
Thinking of the difference in treatment and attitude Daniel and his wife received when compared to him,
a touch of jealousy never before seen appeared on Damien’s face. ‘Daniel is a literal nobody. What
right does he have to be treated like that?’
The more Damien thought about it, the gloomier he got. Daniel did not look at him as he rushed into the
room to see Mr. Riddle Sr. When he saw the latter breathing steadily, he gently heaved a sigh of relief..
Heavens knew that his biggest fear was seeing his own relatives falling sick.
After all, he was all too familiar with that feeling of helplessness and powerlessness. He then looked at
Nicole, his eyes bright. “Nicole, when will grandpa wake up?”
Gloria nudged him a little, hinting him to ask a few questions less. She looked at Nicole and said
worriedly, “You haven’t had a good rest, right? Go and take a nap. We’ll be here.” Nicole shook her
head as she stood by the window, her face pale as snow, yet her expression indifferent. “Grandpa
should wake up before long. I’ll go after he wakes up.” As the few spoke, Damien came in as well and
heard what Nicole said. A suspicious look appeared on his face as he said, “Really? Dad will wake up
soon? You aren’t pulling my leg, right?”
This was heart surgery. It being successful was already a good thing. Could it be possible for someone
to wake up two days after the operation?
Nicole could not be bothered by his performance. Daniel, on the other hand, answered very patiently.

Damien frowned a little. He did not believe Nicole, but he was concerned about what the special force
soldier had said, so he said nothing. He could only sit by Mr. Riddle Sr.’s bed and did not give anyone
else a look.
Gloria went to the kitchen to make some remedies. She was really distressed seeing Nicole’s
complexion as she could tell Nicole had not been sleeping well. Just as Gloria was about to leave,
Nicole suddenly noticed Mr. Riddle Sr.’s fingers moving slightly. She quickly walked over, and seeing
that his eyes were starting to move, she was completely relieved now.
Nicole gave Daniel a look, motioning him to stay here as she turned around and left the room.
Damien did not understand Nicole’s action, but just as he was about to say something, she had already
disappeared.
Daniel, on the other hand, remembered Nicole saying that she would stay until Mr. Riddle Sr. woke up.
‘If she left, does that mean…’
Just as he entertained that thought, Mr. Riddle Sr. suddenly let out a slight cough as if expelling the
turbid air long accumulated within him. Daniel’s eyes immediately lit up, but Damien called out even
faster than he could. “Dad, you’re finally awake!”
