Chapter 1026

His only concern was Nicole and her hallucinations. He wondered if she had had any episodes these
couple of months.

Davin came to the company to see him and mentioned Nicole.




“Evan, like I had already said, Nicole hacked into the account, stole all your money, and ran away with
some other man. She…”

“Shut up!”

Evan bellowed impatiently, bringing the conversation to an abrupt halt.



He refused to believe a single word of these rumors. He and Nicole had been through so many ups and
downs together. He knew exactly the kind of person that Nicole was.



The surveillance footage was blurry, to begin with. Even if they were not, even if everything had
happened right in front of his very eyes, he would still not believe it at all!

Davin shot a glance at his brother. He had to admit, Evan had certainly harbored a deep affection for
Nicole.





Their mother had been hit, his company account robbed, and Nicole had been seen sharing a luxury car
with another man…

All of those glaring shreds of evidence still failed to shake Evan’s trust in Nicole. If Nicole knew about
this, what would she think?



Back at the Seet Residence, Davin conveyed Evan’s reactions to Sophia.

“Mom, it had already been two months since the incident. Evan still doesn’t want to believe that it had
been Nicole who did all those things.”

Sophia was rendered speechless.

She sighed. It seemed that all the pains that Nicole had gone through for his son had all been for
nothing. Evan’s feelings for Nicole were deeper than they had imagined.

“There’s nothing we can do if Evan refuses to believe. Don’t mention this in front of him again. We can
only give it time and let that deal with the damage.”

“Mom, you really don’t know where Nicole is?” Davin looked at Sophia in disbelief.

“I don’t! I’m worried too. I don’t know how she’s coping with her hallucinations. I don’t know if anything
had happened to her.”



“Haven’t you talked things through with her already? Didn’t you arrange accommodations for her?” Davin
pestered.



“Yes, I did! I’ve arranged a place for her to stay, where she wouldn’t need to worry about food and daily
supplies, but she didn’t show up… Do you think she might have died? “

Davin’s face fell. “Mom, don’t take this the wrong way. It might not have been safe for Nicole to remain by
Evan’s side, but Evan liked it that way! Now that she’s gone, it’s true that Evan’s safety is ensured, but
it’s like he’s lost his soul. For the past two months, he had been putting up a long face, and he won’t say
anything! It hurts me to see him like that.”

“You wretched child! Are you blaming me then? Do you think I wanted this? I had no choice! Was I
supposed to watch my son risk his life every single day? I’m a mother! I can’t do that!”

Sophia clutched at her heart, pain and conflict reflected on her face.

Davin empathized with Sophia’s inner struggle. He could picture Sophia’s unwillingness to part with
Nicole. In fact, after Nicole’s disappearance, not only was Evan devastated and distressed, but Sophia
had also been worried as well, agonizing over guilt.

But she had to do it for the sake of her son’s safety.

God makes fools of us all!

After school, the four children called their father, asking when Nicole would return.

Evan came up with an excuse. “Your mommy’s illness hasn’t been cured yet. She’d come back when
she’s all better!”

“How long will it take for Mommy’s illness to be cured? I miss Mommy!”

Maya spoke in a low tone. Evan could tell from her manner of speech just how much she missed Nicole.

But he really had no idea how long it would take to find Nicole.



“Be good, Maya. Give your mommy some more time. She misses you too. When Mommy gets better,
she’ll fly back to see you as soon as possible. “

He ended his comforting words and could hear Juan comforting Maya on the other end of the call as
well. “Maya, it’s important that Mommy gets treated. You can’t rush Mommy. You have to give Mommy
more time. When Mommy gets better, then we can be with her every single day!”

“Yeah, Maya. Mommy’s sick, and she’s suffering too. She loves us very much, so she would definitely
come for us after she gets better!”

“But I really miss Mommy. Why doesn’t Mommy call us?”
