Olivia was still confused somehow, but seeing Swift under Jacob's control, she understood everything.
Just now, Nicole was almost in danger!
Thinking about this, Olivia became angry.
Olivia came to the front of Swift and kicked her with anger, "What grudge do you have with Nicole?
Why do you attack her again and again? Swift, are you still a human?"
Being controlled by Jacob with her mouth opened, Swift couldn't say a word now. She could only stare
at Olivia fiercely, looking like a poisonous snake.
Olivia wasn't afraid of Swift, so she kicked the woman again fiercely. At this moment, Jacob said,
"Hurry to call the nurse. If Tim continued bleeding, he would faint."
Hearing this, Olivia turned her head slightly, and saw Jacob pull out the dagger on Tim's shoulder
without hesitation. The blood sprayed everywhere.
"Did he try to save Nicole?"
Olivia asked Jacob in a low voice.
Jacob nodded.
Olivia's expression changed slightly.
Without saying more, she soon went out to call a nurse in.
Gabrielle, who was living in the office, rushed over when she heard that Nicole was in trouble.
As Gabrielle arrived, Jacob had already taken Swift away.
Looking at the blood on Tim's body, Gabrielle couldn't help but say, "Let me help you."
She took over the job as a nurse and carefully bandaged Tim's wounds.
"The wound isn't too deep, but you'd better keep it dry these days. You're injured now, so you should go
back and rest. Nicole may not wake up tonight."
From Tim's eyes, Gabrielle could read his love for Nicole.
Actually, Gabrielle was contradictory in her mind.
On the one hand, she hoped Tim could stay here to protect Nicole, but on the other hand, she didn't
want him to stay.
After all, Nicole was only concerned about Samuel.
However, Tim said with ease, "I'm fine. I used to fight on the battlefield, and this little wound was
nothing. Besides, I have ever been awake for three days, so I don't care about this night. Let's talk
about it tomorrow when Jason comes over. To leave a weak woman like Olivia here only, I can't rest
assured."
Hearing this, Olivia felt somewhat guilty.
"I was careless. I thought she was a nurse, but I didn't expect it to be Swift."
Speaking of this, Olivia felt remorse.
"We didn't take good care of her, so it was also the responsibility of the hospital."
Hearing Gabrielle's words, Tim said, "It's not the time to talk about who is right and who is wrong. I just
wonder when she will wake up, and whether she will be fine if she wakes up."
Hearing Tim's question, Gabrielle said in a low voice, "Not necessarily. She will be in danger anytime
and anywhere, but she needs to be taken good care of. She is very weak these days and not suitable
for eating. You'd better help her to walk after she wakes up tomorrow. Then let her eat some liquid
food, but not too much."
"OK, I will see to that!"
Olivia agreed immediately.
Gabrielle wanted to say something, but didn't open her mouth at last.
She walked out with her heavy steps.
Tim looked at Olivia and Nicole. He whispered to Olivia, "I'm going to sit on the bench outside here. It
was my fault just now. I shouldn't have gone to the bathroom. When I brushed past Swift, I didn't expect
that she intended to kill Nicole, so you don't have to blame yourself. If you're sleepy, just sleep for a
while and ask me to come in. I'll always be outside. I promise I won't go anywhere this time."
With that, Tim went out right away.
He really wanted to stay, but he knew that Olivia was right.
He and Nicole were only friends, not lovers, nor husband and wife. It was inconvenient for him to do
many things, especially those with women.
Just as he reached the door, Tim paused for a moment without turning around. "Although she is
unconscious, she is still menstruating. I seemed to see some blood on the bed just now. If it's
convenient for you, change it for her."
After saying that, Tim opened the door and went out.
Olivia was stunned for a moment before she realized what Tim was talking about.
She felt kind of guilty.
Olivia felt most sleepy in the second half of the night. She was so busy keeping herself awake that she
forgot to change the sanitary napkin for Nicole. Being reminded by Tim, Olivia felt rather guilty.
Unexpectedly, as a woman and Nicole's best friend, Olivia was not as careful as a man like Tim.
Actually, the carefulness of Tim really impressed Olivia. She even thought that if he was Nicole's
boyfriend, perhaps Nicole wouldn't have suffered so much.
Moreover, they haven't heard from Samuel for a long time, so Olivia was disappointed with Samuel.
She hurried to change the sanitary napkin for Nicole, but found that the blood had already been all
over.
She quickly cleaned up for Nicole and changed the sheets, and then sat down.
Looking out through the window, Olivia saw Tim sitting on the bench and thinking something, but he
occasionally looked towards this direction. His concerns made Olivia feel somewhat released.
The rest of the night was shocking but safe, and Nicole was quiet.
As the sky gradually turned bright, Olivia shook her sore shoulders and stood up.
She saw Tim still sitting outside like a statue without moving a little bit.
Olivia poured a cup of hot water for Tim.
"Hey, have a cup of hot water."
"How's Nicole?"
Tim was still worried about Nicole.
"Everything is normal. I'll just wait for Doctor Farley to check it out."
Olivia was also worried.
"Go inside. Nicole needs someone to look after her."
Tim drank a mouthful of hot water and continued to look around.
Olivia entered the intensive care unit.
Not long after, Gabrielle came in.
She did a full-body check-up for Nicole, and there was no danger for the time being. Then she had
Nicole taken into the intensive care unit.
After they arrived at the ward, Jason and Laurel also came. Both of them brought some food, some for
Olivia and Tim, some for Nicole.
Seeing Tim injured, Jason frowned slightly.
"What happened last night?"
"Nothing much. I was a little sleepy last night, so accidentally fell and hit my shoulder, with my skin
scratched a little bit. Right in the hospital, I bandaged it up by the way."
Tim said with ease.
Right now, he didn't want the Don family and the Green family to interfere in Swift's affairs.
Seeing Tim's careless expression, Jason couldn't help but look at Olivia.
"Did he really fall by himself?"
Olivia immediately nodded and said, "Perhaps Mr. Tim is too sleepy. He accidentally hit the shelf
beside him when he got up."
Hearing Olivia say the same thing, Jason didn't say more. And Laurel only looked at Tim without asking
anything.
"Is Nicole alright?"
"She's fine. Mrs. Green, where's Lucas? Is he home?"
Olivia was worried about Lucas.
Laurel nodded and said, "Yes, that child was probably frightened yesterday. He caught a cold and got
up with a fever this morning, so I didn't let him come with me. Let Nicole have the porridge I cooked for
her when she woke up. Olivia, you must be tired last night and I planned to replace you, but Lucas is
sick, so I..."
"It doesn't matter, Mrs. Green. I can handle it. But Lucas matters. Don't let anything happen to him."
Olivia was still worried about Lucas.
"I've sent for the nurse, who will come and take care of Nicole with you later. I've also applied for one
more bed from the hospital. If you're sleepy, go to sleep for a while. I know you wouldn't rest assured if
someone else takes care of Nicole. Neither would I. So I'm sorry to trouble you."
After hearing Laurel's words, Olivia shook her head.
For Olivia, she was willing to take care of Nicole.
Jason went in to see Nicole. Seeing that she hadn't woken up yet, he said to Tim, "Go back and have a
rest. I'll stay outside today. Don't worry, I'll protect her."
Tim nodded at Jason, and then said to Olivia, "Call me if you need anything."
"Alright."
After what happened last night, Olivia's attitude towards Tim was much better.
"Oh, where's Jacob?"
Laurel couldn't help but ask when she noticed that Jacob wasn't here.
Olivia hurriedly said, "He went back to change his clothes and fetch what Nicole needs. I couldn't leave
here, so I could only let him go back."
Hearing Olivia's words, Laurel didn't say anything.
After staying for a while, Laurel left because of concerns about Lucas' illness. The nurse she sent for
came to take care of Nicole with Olivia.
Tim also left.
Jason waited outside.
When Olivia returned to the ward, she found Nicole awake.
Nicole might not realize where she was for now, her eyes staring at the ceiling without saying a word.
"Nicole, are you awake?"
Olivia was surprised.
Nicole looked at Olivia, feeling severe pain all over her body.
"Olivia?"
As soon as Nicole opened her mouth, she felt a sharp pain in her throat, as if it had been cut by a knife.
"Don't say anything. Wet your throat first. Doctor Farley said you couldn't drink too much water. Just
take a sip, OK?"
Olivia asked with great care.
Nicole nodded subconsciously.
When the nurse was about to do something, Olivia did it herself.
Olivia helped Nicole to drink some water. Seeing that Nicole was getting well, she said to the nurse,
"Go to the office and see if Doctor Farley is there. If she is, ask her to come over and tell her Nicole is
awake."
"Alright!"
With that, the nurse walked out of the ward.
Nicole finally recalled something.
She remembered someone was calling her name before she fainted. The voice was so familiar that she
felt at ease when hearing that.
"Samuel? Where's Samuel?"
Nicole looked at Olivia with expectation in her eyes.
