Chapter 816

Nicole mulled things over before shaking her head with a smile. "Nah, I can solve it myself."

Zachary did not force the matter after listening to her reassurances. He knew she was a strong woman capable of

solving her own issues. "Alright."

The weather in early September was still warm. The afternoon sun was bright and scorching. If one were to stand

under the sun for too long, one might even get sunburnt. Due to the lovely weather, she threw open the windows

and stared at the plants in the courtyard.

It had been almost a week since Siobhan's accident. The Wrenn Family asked her to pay a visit to Siobhan when she

had a high fever. But other than that, they had not contacted her at all.

Nicole also did not initiate the contact. After all, she no longer had any relationship with them.

It was as if Colton finally figured things out, so he no longer bothered her this week. This made Nicole feel at ease.

So, she carefreely spent her day playing around with Hayden.

The mobile phone on the desk suddenly rang while she was enjoying the brief moment of serenity. She tilted her

head slightly and looked over at the desk. It was noon, so she was curious as to who would call her at this time.

She thought over it momentarily before walking over slowly and reaching out for the phone.

Her memory had always been superb. Although it was an unsaved number, she remembered that it was Gabriel's

number. She guessed that the reason he called might be because Siobhan had recovered, and he wanted to inform

her that since she donated blood to Siobhan.

Nicole hesitated for a while before answering the phone. It was indeed Gabriel on the other end of the line.

"May I speak to Miss Anderson?" Gabriel asked politely, to which Nicole responded softly, "It's me."

"I'm Gabriel."

As soon as Gabriel introduced himself, she acknowledged him and asked, "I know. How is Madam Gould?"

He knew that Nicole cared about Siobhan, so he did not beat around the bush. "She is fine and is about to be

discharged from the hospital today. I just wanted to tell you this."

She was taken by surprise when she heard that, as she had never expected him to personally call her for such a

trivial matter. She was unsure how to react, and after a while, she murmured, "Well, it's good to know that Madam

Gould is doing well."

Gabriel felt a little sad hearing her being so polite and distant. He pondered over the issue and continued, "We

planned to go abroad for my mother's birthday three days later. But as you know, it is inconvenient for her to move

around now. So, we are planning to hold her birthday party here this year."

Nicole felt slightly puzzled at the sudden topic change. Somehow, his words sounded like he was planning to invite

her to the party. Before she could respond, he continued, "The Gould Family mainly operates the airline business

within the country. My mother said that since she hasn't been back to the Gould Family for a long time, her birthday

will be held at its residence. I sincerely hope that you can join us on that day."

The way Gabriel spoke was very humbling, and she could not find a way to refuse him. He seemed to have noticed

her silence and laughed. "It's not a big deal. Don't worry. My mom just wanted to thank you in person. I'm afraid she

would have died if it weren't for your blood donation."

The way Gabriel spoke was very humbling, and she could not find a way to refuse him. He seemed to have noticed

her silence and laughed. "It's not a big deal. Don't worry. My mom just wanted to thank you in person. I'm afraid she

would have died if it weren't for your blood donation."

Her hand clenched her phone tightly at his faux-lighthearted remark. Then, she lowered her eyes, recalled what

had happened in the hospital before, and could not help but release a deep sigh. She wracked her brain for the

right words to say before beginning cautiously, "Your sister..."

She left the sentence hanging, but the meaning was crystal clear. Evelyn had always held a grudge against Nicole

and even resorted to framing her just because Colton liked her. She was wary that things would get heated up

again if she agreed to join the birthday party.

Of course, Gabriel understood Nicole's implication, and a resigned expression flashed across his face. He

considered this problem for a moment before firmly reassuring her, "I will keep an eye on Evelyn. You don't have to

worry about her."
