"What are you laughing at?" Gloria and Daniel looked at Nicole, shocked.
‘Nothing, I'm laughing at them playing their games," Nicole casually said.
‘Mom and Dad, I've stayed for some time already, so I'll be leaving now. If it gets any later than this, I'm worried that I'd just be bothering Jared's grandpa when I visit," Nicole explained as she looked at her parents.
"Sure, hurry up, then. Are you coming back to stay for the night?" Daniel looked at Nicole in anticipation.
"No, I'll have to meet Jared at night, so it's going to be very late if I do come back here. I'll just be disrupting your sleep,” Nicole explained.
"Yeah, going back and forth can be really tiring. Please remember to take care of yourself when you're abroad and get the rest you need,"
Daniel reminded her as he was worried.
"Don't worry, I'll be fine. If you miss me, just drop me a video call," she said.

Nicole did not wish to leave them either, but there were matters that required her attention, so leaving was the only option for the time being.
"And what if we miss you?” Samuel and Spencer asked.
"Will you?" Nicole asked, relating it to what she had said to them previously.
"Forget it, we wont. Just go away already." Samuel urged Nicole to leave with a look of unbridled annoyance on his face.
"Why are you even mad?” Gloria asked, not understanding Samuel at all.
Nicole smiled as she looked at Samuel's sour expression.
"I'm making a move now. You don't have to send me to the door." Nicole waved them goodbye and walked out.
But when she turned around, she saw that her family was still walking her to the door anyway, and this left a faint smile on Nicole's face. "Bye."
Then, she got into her car and drove away from the Riddle Residence.
From the rear-view mirror, she could still see them watching her as she left, and this made her tear up, as she missed them too.
She arrived at a crossroad, and stopped at the red light. She looked at the cars that were driving past her, and suddenly, a familiar yet blurry figure drove past her. Her eyes widened at once, but before she knew it, the car was gone already. She just could not get a clearer view of the driver and who they were.
Then, the green light lit uo and Nicole continued her journey to the hospital.
After a while of driving, she pulled up at the car park and got down before entering the hospital.
She then took the elevator up to Mr. Johnston Sr.'s floor and saw Max, who was keeping guard outside.
He immediately greeted Nicole when he saw her. "You're here, Miss Riddle."
"Is Jared in there?" Nicole asked Max.
"Yeah, he's talking to Mr. Johnston Sr."
"Okay." Nicole pushed the door open and walked in.
Mr. Johnston Sr. looked at the door as it opened and was shocked to see the person behind the door. Nicole? Come here!"
Mr. Johnston Sr. beckoned her to make her way toward him while Jared followed his gaze, it really is Nicole.’
Their eyes locked, and they remained so until she was seated in front of Mr. Johnston Sr.'s bed.
"Have you been feeling better, Mr. Johnston Sr.? It has been some time since I last visited you because I've been in Lanningbourg. Don't get mad at me, okay?" Nicole smiled at Mr. Johnston Sr. as she explained.
