The once spacious and empty room was now filled with all sorts of equipment and instruments. As soon as Nicole entered the room, the strong and pungent smell of disinfectant shot up her nostrils.

This made her frown, as she was rather unaccustomed to this.

Benjamin, Anna, Wendy, Colton, and Olivia were all in the room.

When Olivia saw Nicole, her expression changed. She was just about to say something when Benjamin stopped her.

He signaled her with his eyes and after thinking about it, she held herself back.

The doctor had just come and explained that Benedict fell ill because he was provoked. At this critical moment, the elderly man would not even be able to stand a minute of anger.

In the face of her sarcasm, Nicole endured it with a slight smile on her face. "No, I'm just concerned about him."

Just as Olivia was about to retaliate, Benjamin stopped her as he turned to Nicole and said, "Old Mr. Benedict is fine now. The doctor said he should take a good rest."
