Chapter 1468 Going Back Soon

After successfully escorting Nicole back to her apartment complex, Zachary commented with a hint of nostalgia as he looked at the surroundings, "It's quite a coincidence that we live so close to each other."

Nicole, however, wasn't in the mood for small talk. Her spirits were low, particularly after witnessing the disappointment in Colton's eyes.

"Yeah." Her response was curt, indicating her disinterest in prolonging the conversation. All she wanted was to retreat to the sanctuary of her room.

"Nicole isn't feeling well." Chloe, perceptive of Nicole's state of mind, intervened and addressed Zachary.

She had hinted enough, hoping Zachary would grasp her implication.

Recognizing this, Zachary offered a resigned smile before turning to leave. He understood Chloe and Nicole's stance, but he genuinely wished Nicole would stop brooding over Colton.

He was aware that Nicole's medical base was in partnership with someone named Kendrick and that Colton was discreetly vying with the man. However, the extent of their rivalry was unclear to him.

Nicole's association with Kendrick must have been influenced by Colton. He surmised that Colton was likely the catalyst.

"Nicole, let's head back."

As Zachary departed, Chloe assisted Nicole in making her way into the building.

Nicole regained her composure, met Chloe's concerned gaze, and offered her a reassuring smile. However, to Chloe, Nicole's smile seemed strained and did little to alleviate her anxiety.

"Nicole, your smile is rather forced," Chloe responded with a smile of her own, but their pace up the stairs remained steady.

At that, Nicole dropped her smile, her heart filled with mixed emotions.

Ring, ring, ring…

Her phone rang at that moment.

Nicole glanced at the message notification and saw it was from Wendy. They had just parted ways, so what could be so urgent?

She quickly stopped in her tracks and eagerly opened her phone, reading the message.

'Nicole, we're returning home the day after tomorrow.'

"Returning home?" Nicole studied the message, her eyebrows knitting together in confusion. Why were they leaving so abruptly?

Before Nicole could inquire further, Wendy had already provided an explanation. 'The issue with Ryan back home has been resolved. If Kendrick becomes impatient and acts recklessly overseas, the situation could worsen. Hence, it's imperative to return now.'

Nicole's frown deepened at the explanation. Indeed, handling Kendrick domestically would be more manageable than dealing with him overseas.

Observing Nicole's expression, Chloe deduced it must be a message from Colton. There must be a complication on his end. She gently suggested. "Nicole, let's head back first."
