Chapter 1051

"Yeah, I understand how sad you must be feeling," Harvey said, attempting to console her.

"I get it."

"Oh, really?" Nicole laughed.

"I'm just trying to figure out Mr.Johnson Sr"s condition? Why are you comforting me?"

"You're just trying to figure out Mr.Johnson Sr"s condition?" Harvey repeated after her.

"It seems to me that you've watched one too many TV shows." Nicole stared at him with a brow raised
and shook her head.

"What do you think I was doing?"

Harvey buried his face in his hands, knowing that he had misunderstood; he had embarrassed himself.

Darting his eyes at his watch to catch a glimpse of the time, he changed the subject in an attempt to
mitigate the resulting awkwardness.

"It's already noon.Why don't we head out for lunch together?"

Nicole checked the time as well, and was surprised to realize that she had been in the ward for so long.

"What's on the menu today?"

"You can order whatever you fancy!" Harvey said, finally able to recover what was left of his dignity.

"Well then, let's make our way to the Blue Whale," Nicole replied with a smile on her face, as she had
always reserved a special place in her heart for the Blue Whale Restaurant, which had always provided



her a sense of comfort whenever she dined in there.

"Okay, I will book us a table now." Harvey took his phone out and proceeded to make a call.

"Good afternoon.This is Harvey Ellison, and I'd like a table for two reserved by the window."

"Wait, how do you know that I like window seats?"иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σм Nicole frowned at him as he ended
the call and pocketed his phone.Harvey, who liked window seats himself, once heard that Nicole did as
well, and with this in mind, he replied, Who am I to pursue you if I don't even know where your favorite
seats are?"

Nicole was amused.

"Why don't I believe this?"

"Believe it or not, that's the truth."

Harvey turned his palm up ina gesture of invitation.

Nicole darted him a sidelong glance and proceeded to walk out of the room while telling the security
detail, "Be sure to examine the identity of anyone who enters the ward, and those who wear masks
should remove them for this purpose.

The doctors are no exception.

"Aye" the bodyguards responded with a hint of reluctance.

Watching Nicole disappear into the hallway, the man to whom she had spoken proceeded to take his
cell phone out and call someone.

"Nicole seems to be having suspicions already.She just ordered us to check the identity of anyone who
wishes to enter the ward, saying that the doctors are no exception."



"Did she really say that?" his correspondent replied.

"Yes"! "Has there been any improvements in Mr.Johnston Sr"s condition within the past few days?"

"No, he has not woken up."

"Just watch over him and be sure to keep me posted."

Henry hung up and turned his attention to Castor.

"That needle of yours seems to be working."

"That's right.My men are always reliable." Castor bragged.

"Don't get too comfortable, now," Henry warned.

"Never let anyone know about this.Put on a show if you have to.Do you understand me?"

"Understood."

Castor nodded his head repeatedly.Claus drove to the airport to pick Jared up, and upon arrival, he
said, "Mr.Johnston, you must be hungry after a long flight.Shall we get you something to eat first?"

"No, send me to the hospital," he replied, having decided that visiting his grandfather was his topmost
priority.

Besides, he wanted to give Nicole a surprise.

"Okay."

Claus nodded and drove off in the hospital's direction once Jared had climbed in.



Meanwhile, Nicole was having lunch with Harvey at the restaurant, not realizing that she had missed a
surprise.Arriving outside the ward, Jared saw the two bodyguards at the door and shot them a glance.

"Who sent you?"
