"Jared stayed back because someone had to look after Mr.Johnston Sr."
"Indeed," Daniel replied.
"He just returned to the country.He should definitely be spending more time with his grandfather."
"Dad, why haven't I seen Norah even after I've been back for so long?" Nicole said, thinking that Norah had moved away after she had exposed her.
"Norah?" Daniel said.
"She is out on a trip with your classmates and has been gone for a few days."
Without Norah at home, Daniel was much more relaxed.Nicole looked at Daniel with a frown.
''So, she didn't move out?"
"Nope."
"Wait, haven't her parents been discharged?" Nicole said, perplexed at Norah's ungrateful behavior.
Did she not go home to look after them? Why is she still allowed to freeload in our house?"
"Who told you that Norah's parents were discharged from the hospital? How am I not aware of that?"
Daniel looked at Nicole with surprise, as Gloria had visited them at the hospital yesterday.
"So, they have not been discharged?"иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σм Nicole asked, appearing to be even more perplexed than before.
"Yeah.How can her parents be discharged from the hospital before they could manage a complete recovery? Who did you hear that from?"
Nicole looked away and sneered.
'It seems she hasn't taken what I said seriously and is still in the mood to go out on vacation.I was thinking of sparing her the humiliation by allowing her to tell Mom and Dad herself.But looking at her, I can't be blamed for being a little more ruthless"
"The nurse told me that Norah's parents could have been discharged a long time ago, but they weren't, because the family refused," Nicole said.
Daniel stared at Nicole with his brows raised, confused at what he had just heard.
"It can't be.Yesterday, your mom came back from the hospital and said that Norah's parents are still in need of multiple injections on a daily basis.You must've misheard, right?"
Nicole flashed Daniel a look of confidence.
"I did not mishear.The nurse told me everything.If you don't believe me, ask them the next time you're at the nurses' station, and you'll understand what I'm talking about."
Gazing into Nicole's eyes, Daniel believed that his daughter was not lying.
"Don't tell your mom about this until I'm certain as to what is going on."
Daniel and Nicole both knew that Gloria was doting on Norah to the point of spoiling her.If they told Gloria without being certain that it is the truth, it would probably backfire.
Nicole nodded.
"The same goes for you guys."
Daniel looked over at Samuel and Spencer, who were watching TV.
"We didn't hear anything."
"Dad, you've been chatting for a very long time.Are you done yet? We're watching a movie, and your conversation has been nothing but a disturbance," Samuel said as he could no longer stand the noise.
"That is all you seem to know.Why don't you two find something productive to do at the office during the school holidays, huh? Tomorrow, I'll get Sean to bring you to the office and show you the ropes."
Daniel stared Samuel and Spencer down with a look of unmistakable displeasure.
Samuel held his tongue at once, not wishing to get himself and his brother in trouble.
In the meantime, Spencer shot him a glare, as if to say, "It was all your fault.You should have just put up with it.Now we're done for."
Nicole watched as their expressions changed.
"The movie is still pretty funny, eh?"
The two immediately glared at Nicole, knowing that she was gloating.
"Nicole, I need you to come over.I've got something to show you."
Gloria called out from the kitchen.
Nicole rose to her feet and left the living room for the kitchen.
"Mom, why don't you join us in the living room and relax for a bit while the maids do the work?"
Nicole said as she strolled into the kitchen.
"You haven't been back in a long time," Gloria said.
"I want to make you something you'd like to eat."
In truth, Gloria still loved Nicole.It was just that Norah was too adept at pretending and eliciting sympathies, causing Gloria to be protective of her.
