Jocelyn listened quietly, feeling sympathy for them. “Perhaps Mr. Nicholas and you would have been. together now had he not gone abroad for treatment.” 

Cecilia took a deep breath. The older she got, the more she believed in destiny. All these what if scenarios mean nothing to me now. Maybe this is how things are always meant to unfold 

Seeing Cecilia remain silent, Jocelyn assumed she, like Nicholas, was lost in memories of the past. 

She couldn’t help but remark, “Ms. Smith, if you still have feelings for Mr. Nicholas, you should be with him and not let society’s expectations hold you back. I know he’s always had a place in his heart for you and only you.” 

A look of discomfort crossed Cecilia’s face when she heard that. 

“Jocelyn, what Nicholas and I had was just a childhood connection. We never dated, nor were we ever a couple. I’ve been married and divorced, and now he’s married with his own family too. Please don’t bring this 

up again. There’s no way we could be together, and I’m certain I don’t love him.” Cecilia enunciated each word clearly, her tone serious and deliberate. 

Fearing that Jocelyn might still misunderstand, she added, “Nicholas is a wonderful man. He’s helped me a lot in the past, and I’m truly grateful for that. But that’s all there is to it.” 

Upon hearing Cecilia speak so firmly, Jocelyn realized her mistake. “I’m sorry, I misunderstood.” 

“It’s all right.” After Cecilia finished speaking, she glanced at the clock. It was already past five in the afternoon, quickly approaching six. 

At last, the doctor emerged from the operating room, assuring the two that Nicholas‘ condition had. stabilized and that there was nothing serious to worry about. 

Hearing this lifted a tremendous weight from Cecilia’s shoulders. 

At that moment, Nicholas remained unconscious. Cecilia turned to Jocelyn and said, “Jocelyn, I have some. matters to attend to today, so I won’t be able to stay here. Can you help keep an eye on him?” 

At this point, Cecilia concluded that since Nicholas was in stable condition, it was best for her to leave. She worried that lingering any longer would only worsen misunderstandings with Jocelyn. 

Jocelyn responded with a nod. “Sure.” 

Only then did Cecilia take her leave. 

After she left the hospital and got into the car, she received a call from Nathaniel. “Are you not at Orion today?” 

At that moment, Nathaniel was seated inside his car, parked across from Orion Corporation, on the company entrance. 

his gaze fixed 

In the past, Cecilia used to finish work at five, but despite him waiting for almost an hour, there was still no sign of her. Had she gone to pick Eric? 

Meanwhile, Cecilia suddenly remembered that Nathaniel had promised to drive her to and from work.

She responded with a hum. “Yeah, I finished work quite some time ago. You really don’t have to go out of your way to pick me up. I can get home by myself.” 

After she spoke, she quickly hung up the phone, clearly still brooding over what had happened that morning. 

Glancing at the time and realizing it was already six in the evening, she hailed a cab to head home. She figured that Eric should have landed by now and decided to give him a call. 

The call connected quickly, and she could faintly hear the bustling sounds in the background. 

“Ms. Cecille, are you here to pick me up?” Eric asked excitedly, his voice full of anticipation as he noticed 

her call.
