Chapter 1266 Keeping Her Alive

"Nicole, I know what's on your mind, but think about Chloe. You can't let her efforts go to waste, can you?" Knowing Nicole's way of thinking, Roxanna thought that since she could not force the woman, she would try another way. After all, she knew Nicole would eventually give in.

Meanwhile, Nicole gave her a skeptical look. Her condition had not shown any improvements since the beginning, but Roxanna had been with her all this while, keeping her happy, which was why she felt more at ease.
