Chapter 224 There’s No Possibility Between Us
“All right. Ms. Madeline is awake!” the doctor exclaimed excitedly from the side.
Upon seeing Nicholas, Madeline immediately threw herself into his arms.
“Nicholas, is it really you? I didn’t make a mistake, did I? Sob… You’re finally here. Do you know how scared I was?”
Madeline sobbed heavily in his arms, and she seemed like she might faint at any moment.
After spending another day in the hospital, Madeline’s health improved considerably. Nicholas then took her out of the hospital and found a short-term apartment for her to rest.
In the evening, as she slept, he got up and was about to leave.
Suddenly, Madeline sat up from the bed and hugged him tightly.
Nicholas pushed her away, his gaze turning cold. “Madeline, I’ve made it very clear. There’s no possibility between us. I am in love with Nancy now, and I will never betray her or do anything to hurt her. As for you, I will do my best to make amends, but I can’t promise you anything more.”
He pulled away from her grasp without hesitation and left the room.
At that moment, Madeline cried out in sorrow from behind. “Aren’t you afraid I’ll try to kill myself again? Aren’t you afraid I’ll die?”
Nicholas turned around. His gaze was filled with sadness and sorrow as he looked at her.
“Your life is your own, and each person only has one. You saved me, and I will naturally save you, but we all should take responsibility for ourselves. Madeline, I can’t save you every time, so you need to think carefully.”
With that, he left without any further hesitation.
The room turned cold.
She watched him leave while hugging herself tightly.
Tears flowed silently down her face.
With each tear, her resentment toward Nancy deepened.
“Nancy, it’s all because of you If it weren’t for you, Nicholas would still be mine. It’s all your fault! You took away the man I loved the most, and you took everything that belonged to me. Nancy Cohen, 1 won’t let you get away with it! I won’t let you have an easy life!”
Madeline’s face was once again filled with burning anger as she wiped away her tears.
After leaving the room, Nicholas immediately made a phone call “How is the progress on what I asked you to look into?”

His a*sistant replied excitedly, “Mr. Sallow, I was just about to inform you. We’ve made contact. Professor Lott’s team will be taking a flight back to the country tomorrow at noon, so we can communicate with them in the morning. I’ve already set up the meeting location for you.”
“Good. Tell me the location.”
The next day, after meeting with Professor Lott and seeing him off, Nicholas breathed a sigh of relief.
The burden that had weighed on his heart for so long had finally been lifted.
After finishing his coffee, he immediately video-called Nancy.
Upon seeing him, Nancy naturally felt a sense of longing.
“Are you tired from work? Have you been sleeping well? Do you miss me?” Nicholas bombarded her with questions as soon as he saw her.
“You’re asking me so many questions at once. I don’t even know which one to answer,” she replied with
a smile.
“All right. I’ll ask the most important one, then. Do you miss me?”
Nancy, however, replied with a question of her own. “What about you? Do you miss me?”
Nicholas held up his phone and blew a k*ss to the screen. “Yes, I miss you very much.”
“I miss you too.”
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard Toni calling out to her. “Nancy, come on. I’ve already set the table for you.”
“Toni is calling me for dinner, so I’ll hang up now,”
“All right. Go ahead.”
After ending the call, Nancy was in high spirits, and her dinner with Toni was especially delightful.
“Is your boyfriend on a business trip again?” Toni asked.
Nancy nodded helplessly. “Yes. He’s been really busy lately.”
I envy you so much” Toni propped her chin in her hands, her face filled with longing
Nancy smiled. There’s nothing to envy. Both of us are so busy that sometimes we don’t even see each
other for a week”
“Both of you are so busy, but you’re still able to be in a relationship and can even publicly display affection. It’s so envy-inducing that it’s heart-wrenching How can I not be envious?
Really Nancy didn’t think so herself
Toni immediately pointed at her face ‘Of course! Look at you. Your whole face is practically screaming. Tim in love and very happy, and you look radiant full of joy, and swaying in the breeze of

spring.
“Is it that obvious?”
Toni nodded vigorously. “It can’t be more obvious. Ms. Nancy, please spare a thought for a single person like me.”
Nancy laughed upon hearing that. Her smile was charming and captivating.
“Toni, you’re so lovely. Someday, you’ll meet your own prince charming.”
“Well, I’ll take your words as a blessing. I hope it’s a prince charming and not one who’s not charming”
With a snort, Nancy burst into laughter.
She covered her l*ps. Her laughter was bright and alluring, and she looked at Toni. “Don’t blame me. It’s just that you’re so funny.”
Toni hummed before she sighed. “If only someone could be just like you and understand my interesting soul.”
“You’re wrong,” Nancy said. “I think your beautiful appearance far surpa*ses your interesting soul. Miss Bailey, your beauty is too good to go to waste without taking advantage of it.”
“Ah, Nancy. I love you. You’re simply an angel.”
Thanks to Nancy’s praise, Toni was in a great mood for the rest of the day.
After dinner, the two girls left while chatting and laughing.
They completely didn’t notice that, not far behind them, Julian was earnestly listening to their
conversation.
It seemed like Nancy really had a boyfriend.
She hadn’t lied to him.
It appeared he had misunderstood her.
Just after dinner, Toni received a call from the hospital’s administrative office, saying that Julian wanted
to see her.
Julian?
Toni was momentarily taken aback as she wondered how she, a lowly staff member, could have anything to do with a deputy director.
With an uneasy heart, she knocked on Julian’s office door.
“Mr. Jadin, you… you wanted to see me?” After all, he was the deputy director of the hospital, and she was a little nervous.
“Relax. I just want to talk to you. It’s not work-related.”

Only then did she finally relax. She pondered whether she had made a mistake at the hospital, which had led to her being summoned by the deputy director.
Her heart was pounding, making it almost unbearable.
Upon learning that it was not work-related, Toni felt much more at ease.
“Are you Toni Bailey?” Mr. Jadin asked.
“Yes, Mr. Jadin,” Toni replied.
“Your relationship with Nancy seems quite strong, Julian remarked.
Nancy? Does he want to know about Nancy’s situation? Does he actually have an interest in Nancy?
Toni’s mind began to race.
Julian let out a soft snort, prompting Toni to quickly nod. “Yes, we’re friends.”
“I heard you mention that Nancy has a boyfriend now. Do you know him? What’s his name?”
Julian’s consecutive questions left Toni completely stunned.
After a moment, she widened her eyes in disbelief and said, “Mr. Jadin, does this mean you actually have feelings for Nancy?”
