"Oh... it’s nothing, I have things to do too." Nina Sinclair recalled the call from Grandma Lancaster.
She had agreed to let Julian Lancaster’s grandfather have a look at her, and Grandma Lancaster had reminded her not to tell Julian about it. She could only say she was busy with other matters. Fortunately, Julian was going on a business trip; otherwise, she wouldn’t know how to explain.
As the car just left, Nina couldn’t help but eagerly share what had just happened with Julian.
In the end, she said with full admiration, "I didn’t expect President Lancaster to be so discerning, truly deserving of being a leader."
Looking at Nina’s admiring expression, did all the good reputation he had let Marcus Walsh help Nina, get credited to Marcus?
Julian felt somewhat depressed.
Yet, he couldn’t explain much, so in the end, he could only quietly endure.
Ever since Rebecca Lowell was publicly humiliated, she had restrained herself a lot and didn’t come to provoke Nina anymore.
Nina was also peacefully and happily continuing her life.
Soon, it would be time for Nina to go to Crestfall, and she had been fretting over the meeting gift. Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs NovᴇlFirᴇ(.)nᴇt
After all, it was the first time meeting Julian’s grandparents, not a formal meeting with elders, but she felt she should bring a gift.
Ding, Nina’s phone chimed.
Seeing the sender, Nina immediately straightened up, her whole being energized.
It was a message from the medical institution caring for her mother!
She quickly opened the text, which read: Miss Sinclair, your mother’s recent condition seems good. There appears to be slight reflex. We recommend trying traditional Chinese medicine, which might awaken her.
Upon seeing this message, Nina was visibly excited.
She reread it repeatedly before finally calling her mother’s attending doctor.
"Miss Sinclair." The greeting was polite on the other end.
"Dr. Fang, I just received your message. Is it true?"
It’s not that Nina didn’t want to believe it, but after so many years, she thought her mother would stay the same, unable to wake up.
But now, to be told her mother might have hope of waking, it was like giving a parched traveler in the desert a refreshing drink, a light in the darkness!
"Indeed, we’ve been examining her these past days and found that Mrs. Shen’s condition is much better than before. However, our treatment has limitations. We suggest complementing it with traditional Chinese medicine, which may stimulate her nerves and help her wake up sooner."
Upon hearing this, Nina was so excited she couldn’t speak for a long time.
Nina hung up, still feeling as if she were dreaming, pinching her cheek to feel the clear pain.
It’s not a dream; her mother has a chance of waking up!
But just now, Dr. Fang mentioned complementing it with traditional Chinese medicine. Where could she find...
Suddenly, Nina froze.
Come to think of it, she did remember someone. After severing ties with the Sinclair Family and Crestfall, she had ruthlessly cut off all connections, almost disappearing entirely.
Contacting that person now meant re-entering the circle in Crestfall.
Does she really want to reach out?
"Your mother has a chance of waking up..."
The words from the medical institution echoed again in her mind, and the hesitation in Nina’s eyes gradually faded.
She pulled up a long-forgotten number from the blacklist and dialed it, waiting nervously.
