“Stay strong, Nicole. Your kids still need you. They’ll be really upset if they see you like this.”

Nicole suddenly thought of the children, and she immediately told Sheila, “Don’t tell the kids first. They’re still waiting for him to come back. They’re still waiting for him to take them on a hiking trip.”

Sheila tried to remain steady and nodded, yet she could not stop her tears from rolling down her cheeks.

“Where are the kids? Are they still not back yet?”

“Don’t worry about them. John has found a nanny to take care of them. The Seets are also grieving, so we’ll keep the kids away from the family.”

“All right. As long as there’s someone who can take care of them temporarily.”

Something popped up in Nicole’s mind. “Sheila, can you please stay with the kids? I want to get John to do something for me.”

Sheila cast a confused look at her, but she did not ask further. “All right. I’ll give John a call right now.”

Some twenty minutes later, John arrived at the Imperial Garden. Upon seeing Nicole’s pale face, John felt sorry for her and guilty at the same time.

“I’m at your service, Mrs. Seet!”

Nicole looked at him and remained silent for a few seconds. Then she said to him, “I want to go and see him!”
