Chapter 87 Whispers of Love and Choices

Jacob thought John had brought clothes for him, so he walked out directly, but when he turned around,

he saw Nicholas.

He raised an eyebrow unconsciously towards Avery. "We have a guest?"

Avery was in her pajamas while Jacob was wrapped in a bath towel. It looked like a completely normal

interaction between a husband and wife.

In this suspicious situation, Nicholas was not a fool. He put down the New Year gifts and left in a daze.

Avery didn't explain. The deeper Nicholas got involved, the more dangerous it would be. This ending

would be better for both herself and him.

Jacob looked at the New Year gifts with a cold eye. "Am I not generous enough?"

He had paid a 200-hundred-million-dollar breakup fee, which was an astronomical figure.

Avery replied, "I'll give them to the old man who collects garbage later."

Jacob snorted coldly. "Does he come here often?"

"He came when I had a cold."

"There won't be a next time." His tone was decisive and stern.

Avery hesitated for a moment before obediently saying, "Got it."

As Jacob finished packing and left, she couldn't help but ask, "About Leon..."

"I've found the answer for you."

The door closed.

Finding a person for him was still quite easy.

Martin would be saved.

Avery sat slumped on the sofa, tilted her head back, and closed her eyes in relief.

In the afternoon, Nicholas received a call from home. His father said there was an opportunity for him

to study abroad now. As long as he went out for a few years, he could directly take over the position of

dean when he returned.

"Sorry, Dad. I don't want to go abroad for now."

"This is such a great opportunity. I practically fought for it with all my might. There are only three slots

available nationwide."

Nicholas raised a sarcastic smile. "This opportunity must be from Jacob, right?"

"I don't know what happened between you and Mr. Hill, but he personally informed me. You should

think for yourself and also consider your younger brother and sister."

Nicholas, who had always been obedient, fell silent. Seeing his eldest son's subdued mood on the

other end of the phone, Nicholas' father softened his tone. "You know about the Love Layla Hospital, Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

right? It's a highly sought-after project in Astire. He actually took the initiative to propose a

collaboration. You should understand what this means."

"I know."

Without getting a response from his son, Nicholas' father asked helplessly, "Is there something here

that you absolutely can't leave?"

Nicholas got up from his chair, stood with his hands behind his back, and looked out the window at the

busy scene of nurses and patients. He sighed softly. "I want to accompany someone on their final

journey."

The father was somewhat speechless. His son was very obedient, and as an enlightened father, he

shouldn't meddle in his son's private affairs.

But he couldn't afford to offend the Hill family, especially Jacob.

Thinking back to what he had witnessed in the morning, Nicholas should have realized Jacob's

terrifying possessiveness over Avery during the banquet.

Even after their divorce, he wouldn't easily let her go!

The more he tried to get close to Avery, the more trouble he would bring her.

Realizing this, Nicholas closed his eyes and spoke, "Dad, I won't make things difficult for you. I'll go for

further studies."

"Alright, I'll arrange it for you right away."

Avery had finally managed to escape from that terrible period in her life. Her life was finally on the right

track, and the next morning, she went to the hospital to visit Martin.

The caregiver was wiping his face, and Avery took the cloth from her. "I'll do it."

The caregiver didn't object, and Avery saw two bouquets of sword lilies by Martin's bedside.

"Has someone been here?"

"Yes, Dr. Lewis came to visit Mr. Adams yesterday. I happened to overhear him instructing Mr. Adams's

attending physician while I was cleaning the room. Dr. Lin said he's going abroad for further studies,

and we won't be seeing him for a long time."

Avery twisted the wet cloth in her hand and knew exactly why.

"I see."

The caregiver couldn't read her expression and continued, "Dr. Lewis is a good person."

"I know."

"If Ms. Adams wants to start a family, I think he..."
