Nina Sinclair was a bit nervous, constantly wondering in her heart, has he changed his number? Would he blame her for leaving without a word back then?
As Nina Sinclair worried, the phone was picked up.
A deep and magnetic voice came through: "Hello."
Nina Sinclair suddenly paused, not knowing what to say for a moment. Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on ɴo(v)elFɪre.ɴet
Before she could speak, the person on the other end couldn’t help but snort and said, "Nina Sinclair! You actually remember to call me, I thought you died out there. What? Has your brain finally straightened out and remembered me?"
"Joel Thatcher, I’m sorry."
On the other end of the line, Joel Thatcher heard Nina Sinclair’s sincere apology, and the words he intended to scold her with were swallowed back down.
He lightly coughed and asked somewhat nervously, "Did something happen to you? Judging by the way you broke off with the Sinclair Family back then, you wouldn’t call me if nothing had happened."
Nina Sinclair sincerely said, "Can I ask you for a favor? The hospital said my mother’s condition has slightly improved and suggested that I cooperate with traditional medicine treatment. Don’t worry! I won’t delay any necessary costs."
Upon hearing this, Joel Thatcher exploded on the spot.
"Nina Sinclair!! After all, we grew up together, outsiders would say we’re childhood sweethearts! How could you talk to me about money, don’t we have any feelings for each other? You heartless one!"
Hearing Joel Thatcher’s tone, Nina Sinclair’s eyes felt a bit teary.
She never expected that he wouldn’t blame her for not contacting him; instead, he was just like before.
The Sinclair and Thatcher Families had been family friends for generations, and the Thatcher Family was known for traditional medicine. As the only son of the Thatcher Family, Joel Thatcher had inherited their outstanding medical skills, earning fame within Crestfall’s elite circles, and could now stand on his own.
The two of them also grew up together and had been very close since they were young.
Childhood was filled with playful moments, and Nina Sinclair felt that they had an extraordinary friendship.
Joel Thatcher’s familiar tone seemed to bring her back to the past.
In fact, she felt a little sad for not contacting Joel Thatcher back then, but at that time she heard about the arranged marriage in the Thatcher Family. No matter how good they were, she was still a woman, and she thought Joel Thatcher’s future wife might mind her existence, so she simply stopped contacting.
"Alright! Then I won’t talk about money with you." Nina Sinclair sincerely said, "If my mother really wakes up, I will repay you in any way possible."
After saying this, Joel Thatcher seemed to murmur something.
Nina Sinclair didn’t hear clearly.
He asked, "When are you coming back to Crestfall? Bring me to see Auntie’s condition first."
"Umm... the day after tomorrow, I’ll contact you when I arrive in Crestfall."
In Crestfall, at the Thatcher Family.
A man lounged on the sofa, wearing a pure black robe, staring at the phone that had been hung up, his expression slightly dazed, with complex emotions in his eyes.
Nina Sinclair finally decided to contact him!
The arranged marriage by his family back then couldn’t include Nina Sinclair’s mother after what happened to her. Later, he realized that what he could do was too limited. After Nina Sinclair left, he worked hard to achieve greater heights and now finally had control over the Thatcher Family.
No one can influence any of his decisions anymore.
He now had the qualifications to pursue Nina Sinclair!
The determination in Joel Thatcher’s eyes shone bright.
With Nina Sinclair’s return this time, he definitely wouldn’t let her go again.
