"Jane, it's really you. I almost mistake you for someone else."

I look at the door and see somebody that I haven't seen for a long time.

It's Nicole.

I don't know how long it has been since I saw her last time.

After I left Steven's company, I haven't seen her any more.

Now I've got over those past disputes.

I smile and get up, walking towards the door.

"What a coincidence. I didn't expect to meet you here. What are you doing in the hospital? Are you

sick?"

She shakes her head and whispers, "I come here to have a check-up. What about you?"

"My child is ill and now she is in hospital."

She nods and walks in, looking at Penelope through the glass. Her eyes are filled with love for my

child.

"She is so cute. I also want such a cute child. Pitifully, I don't even have a boyfriend."

As she speaks, I can see her disappointment from her eyes.

She is still waiting for a man who will never appears, and after such a long time, it seems that she still

hasn't seen the man.

I let out a sigh, and don't know what to say.

After a long time, I finally squeeze out a sentence.

"Since you're so beautiful, I think in the future, you will have a cuter child."

She smiles at me and says, "Let's not talk about this subject."

After a long moment of silence, she suddenly remembers something and turns to me, "Oh, Jane,

there's a design competition. Do you want to participate in it?"

Design?

It's a long time since I designed.

It's such a long time that I almost forget that I can design.

I smile bitterly and say to her, "I haven't designed for a long time."

"Why?" she has a puzzled look and says to me regretfully. "You are the most talented designer I have

ever met. If you don't design, it will be a huge loss for this industry. This time, the champion of the

competition can directly join the DS Company, let alone the 5 million bonus."

When Nicole utters these words, there is a sparkle of excitement in her eyes.

I know what she cares about is not the bonus, but the opportunity to join the DS Company.

However, these things are no longer attractive to me.

"I'll not participate in the competition. I think my life is good at present. As for the competition, I

congratulate you in advance on your good performance."

Nicole purses her lips and stares at me for a few seconds. Finally, she sighs and leaves the ward.

I sit there and feel somewhat regretful.

I used to like design, and I like it now. However, sometimes I can't do what I want.

Designing will remind me of Frances.

When I think of him, I will fall into despair.

So, I don't dare to design any more.

However, there are times when people couldn't help but feel more helpless than they think they are.

At first I thought Penelope's fever was just a minor illness.

But when the results come out, I am completely devastated.

Thalassemia.

Such illness was no different from a terminal illness.

It needs a lot of money to cure the disease, and most people can't live beyond their teenage years.

After knowing Penelope's illness, I am seriously ill.

For a long time, I can't eat anything. I'm so gaunt, as if I was about to collapse when there is a breath of

wind.

Every day, I am in deep despair.

I can't accept the fact that my favorite child has to suffer from this serious illness.

But very quickly, I tell myself that I have to pull myself together.

Penelope's illness requires a lot of money, and I want to earn enough money in the short time.

At this time, I suddenly remember what Nicole said before.
