Chapter 2572
Sensing Nicole’s hesitation, Conor quickly added, “Miss Lawrence, the doctors can’t get Mr.
Schultz to listen.
I wouldn’t ask this of you if it wasn’t necessary.
Mr.
Schultz instructed us not to disturb you, but…”
Conor paused for a moment and then continued, “There are countless decisions pending at the Schultz Group and numerous meetings awaiting Mr.
Schultz.
I can’t monitor Mr.
Schultz constantly, and so many people rely on him.
I’m desperate for his swift recovery.
”
Conor’s words, though not directly accusing Nicole of neglect, conveyed the staff’s helplessness, making his request hard to refuse.
Nicole, still hesitant, said, “I appreciate your hard work, Conor.
If I have time, I will visit.
”
Nicole’s response was non-committal.
She said she would visit if she had time.
What did “if she had time” mean? She was already here.
However, Conor didn’t dare push further.
“Alright, Miss Lawrence, please take care of your matters first.
But if you can, do visit Mr.
Schultz.
”
Nicole nodded and left with the thermos in her hands.
When she returned to the infusion room, Rhett appeared to be asleep.
Nicole didn’t wake him and waited quietly, noticing the dark circles under his eyes that suggested he hadn’t slept well.
Given the trauma Rhett had endured, it was no wonder he hadn’t slept well.
Despite this, he displayed remarkable composure under the circumstances.
When the nurse arrived to remove the IV, Rhett stirred awake.
Clad in full protective gear, the nurse carefully removed the IV.
The infusion room was private because they were aware of Rhett’s condition.
After patching him up, the nurse reminded Rhett that he couldn’t leave the hospital tonight and needed to stay for observation to monitor for any fever.
Rhett, noticing Nicole still there, felt a pang of embarrassment.

“Miss Lawrence, you’ve been such a great help.
I’m sorry for the trouble.
”
“It’s no trouble,” Nicole replied with a reassuring smile.
“It’s the least I could do.
” She handed Rhett the water, and just then, her phone rang.
It was the delivery driver.
Nicole had ordered a pot of congee for Rhett, thinking he needed something light to eat.
Unable to cook for him herself, she had chosen a highly-rated restaurant on a delivery app.
Nicole rose from her seat.
“I’ll go get the congee.
”
“There’s no need, Miss Lawrence.
I’m not hungry,” Rhett said.
But as soon as he spoke, his stomach growled loudly, betraying his words.
He felt a flush of embarrassment, and Nicole found it heart-wrenching that he still didn’t want to trouble anyone.
“Honestly, it’s my pleasure,” Nicole said gently.
“Let me do something for you.
It will make me feel better.
”
Rhett hesitated and then spoke with surprising openness.
“Miss Lawrence, believe it or not, I don’t blame you at all.
This rare event happening to me can only be attributed to fate.
It’s nobody’s fault.
”
Nicole was taken aback by his candor.
“I didn’t expect this.

“Sometimes, life forces you to believe in fate,” Rhett said, his expression cryptic.
“Fate can be changed,” Nicole responded with determination.
“No matter what, we just need to do our best.
