Billionaire's True Love is a Surrogate Mother 92. Nikkie ; Feeling Blue
Nikkie's POV"But that makes me unable to accompany her. She's all alone because her mom cannot take care of her. I shouldn't have provoked Krystal. I should have been more patient, at least until the baby was born ...." I whimpered. Then I just cried silently. Richard climbed onto my bed with awkward movements, then positioned himself next to me so he could hug me tighter. I soon realized the strangeness. Just like me, Richard was not okay either. He had many small cuts and bruises on his face. I glanced at Richard's legs and found that they were tightly bandaged. My heart was racing. "What happened to you? What happened to your leg?" I asked quickly. Richard smiled faintly, his lips looking pale. "It's okay. I just sprained my foot a bit," he said calmly, as if a sprain wasn't a big deal!No wonder Richard seemed to be having trouble climbing onto the patient bed where I was lying. I again scanned him well from head to toe."Calm down, I'm fine. You see, I'm even off the IV?" s
Billionaire's True Love is a Surrogate Mother 93. Richard's Green-flag's Side
Richard's POV"Taking a shower? Do you need the nurse's help?" I asked in a surprised tone. It had been three days since Nikkie woke up from her coma. That meant it had been six days since we had been in the hospital. Since she woke up, Nikkie had been devastated. Nikkie was mentally unstable. She didn't even have any awareness of her surroundings. And couldn't recognize other people in the usual way. She could only remember me. Several times, Grandma, Aunt Karina, and Uncle Denise came to visit us when Nikkie was awake.But Nikkie didn't show any positive response. She even looked like she didn't realize that there were other people besides the two of us in this room. "Your wife is in post-accident shock and has lost her baby. For the time being, we will give her a sedative injection so that she can rest.If your wife is unconscious for too long, it is feared that she will experience psychological tension. Of course, that is not good for her health," explained the doctor who injec
Billionaire's True Love is a Surrogate Mother 94. Nikkie; Where Should I Go?
Nikkie's POV"Finishing what?" I asked quietly. Everyone in the room suddenly fell silent. Even Richard looked awkward, scratched his head embarrassedly, and then turned to enter the bathroom without answering my question. I was forced to follow the woman called Aunt Karina. She smiled kindly at me, helping me to sit on the bed carefully. Previously, I couldn't pay much attention to the three guests. Since waking up from the coma, my mind had never been clear. The only human I could still recognize well was Richard.Now, after taking a shower, I seemed to have regained my full human consciousness. My mind no longer felt filled with fog, and my understanding of my surroundings gradually became normal.I still looked awkwardly at Aunt Karina. On the contrary, she didn't look awkward with me at all. She turned on the hair dryer stored in the drawer, then turned it on, and casually, she helped me dry my hair.I quickly declined. "No, I can do it myself," I said awkwardly. Unfortunately,
Billionaire's True Love is a Surrogate Mother 95. Richard; The Dark Side
Richard's POV"I'm leaving first. Call me if you need anything. Or when you miss me, call me," I told Nikkie.Nikkie's cheeks instantly flushed at my flirtation. "Don't push yourself too hard, remember your leg isn't fully recovered," Nikkie instructed. I nodded and kissed Nikkie's cheek before turning around to get into the car.Nikkie waved goodbye with an increasingly flushed face. It was time to return to the routine after taking a break for over ten days after the accident."Has Shawn given a full report yet?" I asked Calvin. Right after Nikkie regained consciousness and went into a psychological state of shock, that was when I gave Shawn a new order.That was to investigate and find evidence about the culprit who got us into the accident. Although I had suspected that Krystal was the brain behind the accident, this suspicion would be meaningless if it wasn't backed up by solid evidence.After giving instructions, I turned off my cell phone. I delegated all office duties to Calvi
Billionaire's True Love is a Surrogate Mother 96. A Grave Amidst the Roses
Nikkie's POV"But I'm fine," I said, confused. What's going on with Richard? He just started work today, but he's already acting strange. I stroked Richard's back gently, trying to calm him down. I had even forgotten that there were other people besides us here. Richard's condition worried me."Are you feeling sick? Does your leg hurt? You don't have to exert yourself, don't you have a capable new assistant? It's your first day back at work, but you're pushing yourself and going home late!" Unexpectedly, I nagged Richard instead. After realizing how presumptuous my actions just now were, I could only stand still. Richard chuckled softly. He rubbed the top of my head fondly, then released our embrace. I didn't dare to raise my head out of reluctance and embarrassment."I'm fine. Have you eaten? I'm so hungry," Richard said, breaking my stiffness. He led me to the dining room where Aunt Karina, Grandma, and Uncle Denise were waiting.Richard's family watched the interaction between
Billionaire's True Love is a Surrogate Mother 97. Nikkie; Good Bye
Nikkie's POV"Because I saw with my own eyes how deep and how much love Richard had for Krystal. Sometimes, even the smartest person can turn into a fool in the face of love," I said. I suddenly felt tired, body and soul. "Then, you don't have to worry. As long as Richard has spoken, then he will keep his word. He will raise his child well, with or without a life partner," Grandma said.I smiled bitterly. What could I expect from a grandmother who loved her grandson? She would stand by her grandson, no matter if he was right or wrong, and defend him to the hilt.I said. "That's good, Grandma. I hope Richard finds a good life companion after this if he can't be with Krystal anymore.Above all, I hope Richard finds happiness. He is a good man, a gentleman. He deserves better."There was a pause for a few moments before Grandma finally spoke up again."Wait. Why are you talking like this? Aren't you and Richard...?" Grandma hung on the words. She seemed to be afraid of saying the wrong
Billionaire's True Love is a Surrogate Mother 98. A Trail of Peculiarities
Richard's POV"Auntie, have you seen Nikkie?" I asked when I got home. Today, I had deliberately gotten home a little earlier than usual because I wanted to take Nikkie to her mother's house. That's why I was home by 4 pm.Aunt Karina gave me a strange look. "Didn't Nikkie leave this afternoon?" Aunt Karina asked back. I froze, quite surprised. Why is it suddenly like this? "Our family driver is taking her home, don't worry," Aunt Karina added. She then walked away with the books to her room.Grandma appeared from the kitchen and greeted me. "Is it true Nikkie has left?" I asked Grandma. Grandma nodded in confirmation."That's strange. She never said that she had to leave today," I muttered in surprise."There's nothing strange. Try to put yourself in Nikkie's shoes. She just lost her baby and then lived with a stranger for over two weeks.Most women need their mother after giving birth or after miscarriage. Nikkie has been holding back for a long time. Just give her time to be
Billionaire's True Love is a Surrogate Mother 99. The Empty House
Richard's POV"Didn't bring many clothes? But all the clothes in the closet are just some of the clothes Sharon brought with her when Nikkie moved here," I said in surprise. My heart was racing. A bad feeling was starting to bother me. I gave my divorce certificate to Grandma and then quickly called back Calvin, who had returned to the office."Go to this address. Right now," I ordered as soon as Calvin returned. I entered the address into the car's navigation, and Calvin made his move without question. A few tens of minutes later, I arrived at Nikkie's house. My heart skipped a beat when I saw that the house looked neglected. The ornamental plants that lined the front porch looked wilted. Even all the doors were tightly closed."What's going on? Why do I have a bad feeling?" I asked myself. I opened the front passenger door and got off so quickly that I almost fell because my leg was still not fully healed."Be careful, Mr. Richard!" exclaimed Calvin, who was circling the car and i
