I laughed at my own foolish thoughts. How could a dead person leave a note? it was probably just Nicholas avoiding divorce. Such a lame excuse to run away!

I left the hospital and went back to the manor. I figured he had to come home eventually. Claudia and Frances were still here after all. Where could he hide?

The house was empty and quiet except for some activity in the kitchen on the first floor. Frances was still making some soup. I approached the door quietly and asked, "Is this soup for Nicholas?" She jumped, clutching her chest in surprise. "Ari, you scared me."

"I asked, is this soup for Nicholas?" My voice was cold.

Frances smiled awkwardly. "Yes, and there's some for you too. You've been taking care of Nick, so I thought you might need some as well. Have it before you go back to the hospital."

She put herself in a very low position as if she really wanted to mend our relationship. But I remembered. how harsh she had been to me before. Even now, her kindness seemed insincere. "I just came back from the hospital."

"Oh? Really?" Frances stopped serving the soup, turning to look at me.

"In that case, maybe I'll go visit him later. You don't need to wear yourself out."

I studied her face. She seemed genuine, not like she was faking it. Could Frances really not know where Nicholas had gone?

She handed me the soup and guided me to the table. I didn't refuse and instead asked her about Claudia,
