Chapter 1846
It was not clear whether Theo's reason for informing Nicky was the sas mine, but when Nicky returned, |
could not tell anything from her face. She was still as calm as ever.
| did not step forward to ask her about it either, and things were like this until the end of work.
I was in the scar as Nicky. Perhaps it was my overthinking, but | kept feeling as if the atmosphere between
us was a bit weird today.
My twinkling eyes fell on her quietly, but Nicky's own were facing out the window. She looked as if she was
thinking about something.
| could not stand this kind of atmosphere, so | broke the silence first. "Nicky, what are you thinking about?"
Hearing my voice, Nicky turned and looked at me. She smiled before going to her usual expression. "It's nothing.
My parents calledjust now. They might be coming to seein a bit."
"Is that so? That's a good thing. You haven't seen your parents for a long time, no?"

| envied Nicky for still having her parents. As for me...
My dust-covered memories were torn open again as | recalled the sandalwood box that Jackie had taken away. It
was something my mother left to me, yet I.
Thinking of this, | sighed and turned to look at Nicky. "You must cherish your twith your parents."
Nicky knew more or less about my
situation, and her gaze was apologetic. "I'm sorry, Wanda." "It's fine. You can bring your parents over to the villa
when the tcomes, it would be more convenient that way."
"Oh no, | don't really want them to chere." Nicky's voice was a little low.
| could not help frowning while looking at Nicky suspiciously. "Why not?"
For a moment, the atmosphere in the car becsolemn again. Nicky reached out and touched the scar on her
face, and her lips were pursed tightly.
| seemed to have understood something." You didn't tell them you were hurt?"
Nicky nodded. "Yeah. Ever since | was a child, they were most afraid of my face being hurt. If my mother finds
out, she'll definitely kick up a fuss, so | want to delay
that. Didn't the doctor say that the scar will disappear? It's just a matter of time. | think it's better to let them
cover after my scar is gone."
Any parent would be very distressed upon finding out that their daughter has a scar on her face.
The guilt | felt for Nicky returned to
my heart again, and my nose suddenly beca little sore. "Nicky, I'm sorry, it's all because you were trying to
save Munchkin. Otherwise, you wouldn't have..."
"I'm the one who went over by myself, it has nothing to do with you. The situation was urgent at the time, and |
didn't think too much about t at all. Wanda, you don't actually have to take this matter to heart." Nicky took my
hand.
To this day, she was still comforting me, which madeeven more embarrassed. | held her hand tightly with a
firm expression on my face "Don't worry, if Dr. Jenny can't heal your scar, I'll have Theo find a better doctor and

"Alright." She smiled and patted my hand.
The car entered the villa just then and we arrived.
Entering the living room, | could smell the aroma of food. Caroline had long prepared dinner and was waiting for
us to cback.
"Madam, Miss Doyle, you're back. Let's eat first. The master said that he'll be back in a while."
“Alright.”
I had dinner with Nicky first without waiting for Theo, and not long after, he also returned.
We went back to our rooms after dinner.
Sitting in front of the dressing table, | looked at Theo who was looking through documents behindin the
mirror.
Thinking of the incident between him and Nicky in the office this afternoon, | could not help but ask.
"Theo, what did you say to Nicky this afternoon?"
