Chapter 1203 Good for Him

Nicole squinted her eyes.

'Ballard?'

'Tim's father!'

'And her uncle.'

'Why was he here?'

Ballard was being pushed. He was begging for something while protecting his head. Then, he cast a
glance at Nicole. He didn't seem to see her because his blank eyes didn't focus on anything.

She heard that Ballard was traveling around the world and didn't saw him even on Tim's wedding day.
She never expected that he would end up living a miserable life in such a small city.

'Tim knew it?'

Nicole knew that Tim was unkind to Ballard, but she didn't believe that Tim would do nothing if seeing
Ballard like this.

She beckoned to the waiter.

The waiter was very respectful of Nicole, asking, "Madam, what can I do for you?"

"What happened to that person?"

Nicole pointed at Ballard and asked in a low voice.

The waiter glanced at him and said, "He works here, but he does a bad job. We kicked him out several
times, and he always came back. Guests often scold him, but some will give him tips after that. He also



makes a living from it. Since he doesn't affect our business, the manager lets him stay. Does he disturb
you? I'll ask the security guard to kick him out."

"Wait."

Nicole asked in surprise, "What happened to his leg? Did you beat him?"

Seeing Nicole's cold look, the waiter hurriedly explained,

"No, no, no, we didn't do anything to him. He got drunk a few days ago and fell down the stairs. We
took him to hospital, but he ran away in the midnight. Now he's here again. He seems an old bachelor,
and he's always alone. Besides, something's wrong with his eyes. We feel sorry for him, so we let him
stay."

The waiter's words surprised Nicole again.

"What happened to his eyes?"

"I don't know. He can't see clearly, and he said it was cataracts. But when we sent him to hospital, the
doctor said that it was because he took too many drugs. Anyway, we don't understand."

Nicole frowned.

Then, she saw Ballard pushed to the ground and a stack of money thrown in his face.

Ballard kowtowed and bowed, not looking like the chairman of the Louis Group.

Nicole felt sorry for him.

She took a video with her phone and sent it to Tim.

If Tim didn't care, she would not interfere. She just didn't want to see Ballard like this.



Tim was on his honeymoon abroad with Evelyn, and it was at night. When he received the video, he
paused. Then, he called Nicole regardless of the time difference.

"What's going on? Who did it to him?"

Hearing Tim's cold voice, Nicole was relieved.

"Didn't you ask someone to do this to him?"

"Why did I do that? I hate him. He was so bad to my mother and deceived by that woman. Besides, he
abandoned me. But he's still my father. He said he was going on a trip. How did he end up like this?
Where did you see him? I'll send someone to bring him back."

After saying that, Tim had an urge to cry.

He did not like Ballard, but he never wanted Ballard to live such a miserable life.

Nicole whispered, "Now I know what to do. You just got married. Have a great time. I'll handle it."

"Help me find out his address. I'll go there with Evelyn. She also saw the video, and she said that we
should bring him home. After all, he's my father."

Since Tim made his mind, Nicole did not insist.

She carried Lucas back and told Samuel what happened. Then, Samuel sent people to look for Ballard
with Nicole.

Joseph and Zoe were in the club, so Samuel was not worried. He sent someone to take care of them,
and continued to talk with Fill.

Before Nicole left the club, a woman came and put on Nicole's make-up.



Nicole didn't feel anything until the woman was finished. Nicole was stunned.

She couldn't believe it was her.

She had finely carved features, but now she became an average-looking woman.

Very few people would associate her with Mrs. Green from the Seapolis City when seeing her on the
street.

"How could you manage it? It's amazing."

Nicole also wanted to learn to make up.

Although Samuel was talking to Fill and the others, he kept an eye on Nicole. When he saw Nicole
looking surprised and excited, he smiled and stared at her with affection.

Fill also turned his eyes upon Nicole and whispered, "No wonder Camila Avery is called Magic Hand.
Even if Nicole is in the Seapolis City, people may not recognize her."

"You are exaggerating. I can recognize her."

Samuel said calmly.

Fill said, "You can recognize her no matter what she looks like. I'm talking about other people, okay?"

Camila smiled and nodded while leaving.

Nicole felt that there were many talented people here. After she was back, she must learn how Camila
could do that.

After telling Samuel, Nicole walked out. In the meantime, Ballard left the club with the money.



In the car, Nicole did not follow Ballard closely. Instead, she kept a distance from him.

Ballard went to a nearby slum.

There were few people living here. The large word "demolition" indicated that this place was a
demolition zone now, and many people had moved away.

Ballard sat down on the ground, took out a bag of peanuts from his pocket, and ate it.

Nicole was quite shocked.

Only when she came to Ballard did he notice her.

"Who is it?"

Ballard turned around, and his unfocused eyes showed he was just bluffing.

Nicole did not say anything, but Ballard was a little fearful.

"I'll stay here just for a while. It won't take long."

Ballard had done many things, but he looked like a pitiful man now.

His eyes were no longer clear, and he looked like only a bent old man with gray hair.

"Follow me."

Nicole said emotionlessly.

Ballard felt that her voice was a little familiar, but he couldn't remember whose voice it was.

The only color left in his world was gray, and the helplessness frustrated him.



"Did I owe you money? Or did I touch your things? Sorry. I can compensate you."

Ballard was as lowly as a beggar was.

Nicole reached out to support his arm and whispered, "I'm Nicole, Tim's cousin. How did you end up
like this?"

Hearing this, Ballard was stunned. Then, he shook off Nicole's arm with panic and tried to stand up and
leave. However, he fell to the ground because he couldn't see.

Seeing him like this, Nicole whispered, "Tim will be here soon. Don't be afraid...."

"Don't let him come here!"

Ballard trembled. He said with fear, "Don't let him come here. I just want him to live well and treat me
as if I were dead. Nicole, I know you're doing this for him, but listen to me. All I want is for him to live
well. Don't let him come."

"Why?"

Nicole was a little surprised.

Ballard turned pale, keeping shaking his head.

"Stop asking. Why are you here? Just leave. Don't tell anyone that you see me today and just leave."

Then, he even pushed Nicole.

"Uncle Louis."

This was the first time Nicole called him Uncle Louis.



Ballard paused for a moment, and then tears ran down his cheeks.

"What did you call me?"

Nicole knew that Ballard was not good to Tim, but Tim was a soft-hearted man in spite of he looked
cold.

Although he resented Ballard, he still wanted Ballard to stay with him. He still loved his father.

Regardless of whether Martha is Edwin's biological daughter or not, she was still a biological daughter
of Nicole's grandmother. So Ballard was Nicole's uncle.

Nicole walked over and said in a low voice, "Uncle Louis, just go back with me. Tim married Evelyn
Mason, who's from the Mason family and Ethan Mason's daughter. Don't you want to see your
daughter-in-law?"

"Tim is married?"

Ballard looked sad and delighted.

"The Mason family? That's a famous family. Good! Good for him!"

Ballard shed tears again.

"I've been bad to him for so many years. I know I'm not a good father, but if I hadn't done that, he would
have been dead."

"What do you mean?"

Nicole was completely shocked.

'Ballard was bad to Tim because something secret?'



However, Ballard refused to talk about the details.

"Stop asking. Just leave. Tell Tim to live well and be good to his wife. I have a gift for her. It's in the safe
at home. He knows the password."

Then, Ballard just staggered away with a stoop. Seeing it, Nicole wanted to cry.

"Uncle Louis, just come back with me. You can tell it to Tim, and he will forgive you."

Nicole wanted to go forward again, but Ballard took out a dagger from somewhere and put it on his
neck. Then, he said in a cold voice, "If you don't leave, I will kill myself in front of you."

"Uncle Louis, you...."

"Just go!"

Ballard was emotional, which startled Nicole.

He looked like the chairman of the Louis Group now.

Nicole didn't know why he did that, but it wasn't the right time to push him.

"Alright, I'll go. Don't hurt yourself."

Nicole could only step back. She sent people to follow Ballard, in case something happened to him.
Then, he told Tim about it.
