Daniel was surprised by Mr. Riddle Sr.’s request, but he quickly nodded in agreement and called out,
“Wait a minute, Nicole.Your grandpa wants to have a few words with you.”
Nicole was stopped in her tracks upon hearing that.
Daniel left the room, leaving plenty of room for the two of them.
Mr. Riddle Sr. looked at Nicole from behind and sighed softly.
“Come over, Nicole,” he said with no hesitation.
Nicole turned her head and looked at Mr. Riddle Sr. with clear, cold eyes.She knew that Mr. Riddle Sr.
was semi-conscious during the operation.
So he probably knew that she was the one who had operated on him.
“Grandpa, you should take a good rest.” She was not a person who likes to take credit for everything, so
she did not want Mr. Riddle Sr.’s thanking her.
“Am I embarrassing you now?” Mr. Riddle Sr. pretended to be angry.
Nicole had no choice but to go up to him.
“I’ve never felt that way, Grandpa.Even though you still don’t know me well, we are always a family.” This
was the reason she saved Mr. Riddle Sr.
Knowing that she was so sensible, Mr. Riddle Sr.suddenly felt ashamed of himself.
He nodded his head gently and said, “You’re truly Daniel’s lovely daughter and my precious
granddaughter.” Earlier, when he saw Nicole was self-motivated, he started to change his mind about her
and supported her in taking part in the competition.
Now it seemed that he was right.
Getting complimented by Mr. Riddle Sr., Nicole’s expression softened.
“It is my honor for Grandpa to admit that I’m your granddaughter.”
Before coming back, she was not expecting Mr. Riddle Sr. to have accepted her so quickly.
Mr. Riddle Sr looked at Nicole.
Instead of asking if she was the one who cured him, he looked her in the eyes and said slowly and
clearly, “Please convey my gratitude to the surgeon who operated on me.I, Benjamin, will never forget
that.”
Nicole looked at Mr. Riddle Sr. and knew that he was helping her hide her identity.
She appeared nonchalant, but the light in her eyes was extremely bright.
She looked back and nodded at Mr. Riddle Sr., whose usually stony countenance had gradually
softened.
“I will,” she said. Mr. Riddle Sr.looked thankful and emotional when he heard Nicole’s reply.
Nicole quickly tried to calm him down.
“You need a good rest now, Grandpa.Don’t get overly excited.” Mr. Riddle Sr. looked at her and let out a
gentle smile.
He patted Nicole’s hand and said softly, ” I won’t question what you do from now on, as long as you work
hard and don’t fall behind, understand?”
Nicole nodded in acknowledgment.
She knew that as part of the Riddle family, grades were only the most basic requirement.
Mr. Riddle Sr.leaned over with a mysterious look and whispered to her, “If your grades improve on this
monthly exam, I will buy you a gift.”
He thought Nicole would be thrilled.
After all, the gift he gave out had always been expensive.
Yet Nicole was nonchalant.
She tucked the quilt over his body and said, “I don’t need any gifts.All you need to do is take care of
yourself.”
Mr. Riddle Sr. looked at Nicole in front of him and was delighted that this granddaughter of his was really
a girl of character.
