Chapter 803
They remained silent along the way without saying anything else.
As soon as they returned home, Nicole received a phone call from an unfamiliar number. After taking a glance at it,
she answered the phone, after which a woman's shrill voice rang instantly. "Nicole, come to the hospital right now!
I'm telling you, if anything happens to my mom, I'll never let you off!"
Recognizing at once that this familiar voice belonged to Evelyn, Nicole frowned slightly. I've just come back from the
hospital. How could anything happen? She lowered her voice, asking, "What happened?"
Evelyn's anger grew even stronger when she heard Nicole's inquiring voice. She replied furiously, "How dare you
ask me what happened! It's got to be some disease you caught from your promiscuity that caused my mom to run
a high fever all of a sudden!"

Nicole's eyes darkened a little. Wasn't Madam Gould just fine before I left? Why would she run a high fever all of a
sudden? "Madam Gould is having a fever? How could that happen?" she asked in puzzlement.
Naturally, Evelyn didn't bother to explain anything to her. She viciously threatened, "Nicole, I'm warning you—come
to the hospital now! If anything happens to my mom, the Wrenns and the Goulds will never let you get away with
it!"
Holding the phone in her hand, Nicole felt her throat dry up somewhat; she was at a loss for a reply.
Just when she was in a trance, Evelyn suddenly had her phone snatched away on the other end. Then, a gentle
voice came through the phone, and it sounded like Gabriel's. "Hi, Miss Anderson. I'm Gabriel. We just met in the
hospital today."
Nicole nodded and muttered a response. She asked rather wryly, "What… happened to Madam Gould?"
"My mom's running a high fever all of a sudden, and the hospital's primary diagnosis is that it's probably because of
the blood donation, so we'd like to ask you to come back to help undergo some tests. May I ask if you have free

time for that?" Gabriel explained, showing her enough respect with his words.
Sensible as Nicole was, she immediately replied, "Um, okay, I got it. I'll be there right away."
Only then did Gabriel hang up the phone on the other end.
Having stood next to Nicole just now, Zachary naturally overheard their conversation. Before Nicole could speak, he
suggested right away, "Come on, let me send you there. The Wrenns' power and influence run deep abroad, so it'll
be bad to offend them."
Nicole shook her head with a wry smile. I thought I'd saved someone's life; little did I think I'd become a wrongdoer
now. That being said, I can guarantee that I'm healthy. After all, when I was working at F&M Apparel, it provided
annual health screenings for its employees, especially those in high positions like me. I'm not suffering from any
serious disease apart from a mild case of anemia. And besides, I'm a doctor, so I always take good care of my

health. How is it possible that…
At this moment, however, she dared not think too much about it; the most important thing right now was to go to
the hospital and check on Siobhan's condition. "Yeah, let's go there and take a look first. I last had a checkup half a
year ago, and everything was normal. The doctor also did a checkup on me before I donated blood, so there
shouldn't be any problems," she said as if muttering to herself in an attempt to comfort herself.
Zachary seemed to notice that she was nervous. His hands had been at his sides, but he suddenly stretched one
out and held hers tightly.
Feeling his big, sturdy palm, Nicole slightly looked up at him and pursed her lips for a moment before a forced smile
appeared on her face.
Zachary dragged her outside. As they walked, he said, "It's gonna be alright. I'm here with you. Even if the Wrenns
blame you for this, nothing will happen because I'll handle them for you."
Nicole fell silent, not knowing what to say about his unconditional commitment to her.
