Dumping My Fiancé For His Uncle By Danielle Sayers

Chapter 43

"Thea, tell me, who am I?" Nicolas asked, his voice low.

Thea winced from the pain, letting out a small sound as she tried to pull away.

"Who am I?" Nicolas refused to release his grip, his tone stubborn.

"You're Nic..." Before Thea could finish, urgent knocking interrupted them.

It was Darwin. "Mr. Hendrix, the doctor is here," he said.

Nicolas' emotions instantly withdrew, and he returned to his usual cold and distant demeanor. His chest rose and fell twice before finally letting go of Thea's hand, his face dark as he opened the door. Seeing a few buttons on Nicolas' shirt had been torn open, Darwin broke into a cold sweat. 'What the hell! It looks like I came at the wrong time,' he thought.

Nicolas turned and grabbed the coat from the chair, his voice slightly cold. "Let the doctor take care of things. I'm leaving."

The next morning, Thea woke up with her head still feeling foggy. She checked her clothes quickly, remembering how she had been drugged by Liam the night before.

Thankfully, everything was intact. But what had happened after? Thea tried to recall, but there was nothing.

Suddenly, the door opened, and Nicolas walked in. Thea sat up immediately, asking, "Mr. Hendrix? Why are you here?"

Nicolas looked at her with an unreadable expression. "You don't remember last night?"

Thea shook her head as if part of her memory was missing. She wanted to ask what had happened, but seeing Nicolas' slightly displeased expression, she decided against it. Then Nicolas tossed a set of clothes onto the bed and said, "Get dressed. We're heading back to Key Biskane."

"Okay," Thea replied.
