"Do you know the girl that the old man brought in

yesterday?" Shawn askeAd as he drove.

Harvey turned his eyes back to Shawn. "Why?"

Shawn shook his head. "Nothing. Just that there is more to her than meets the eyes. Your father didn't even let me see the gift that she gave to him

yesterday."

Shawn gripped the steering wheel tighter. "And she seemed to know the problem with my father and hinted something to him, a bit earlier than the time you asked me to speak. Would it affect anything?"

Harvey started to make sense of something and chuckled. "Nicole, you always have surprises for me." He then looked up and whispered to Shawn,

"Don't worry about her."

again, knowing that Harvey did not want to tell him

more.

The car drove around and reached Great Oak at last. Harvey and Shawn got out of the car and headed for the only sanatorium in town. The doctors and nurses were already accustomed to their visit and only required a routine registration from them before letting them in.

The small sanatorium had only three floors and no elevator. The two slowly climbed to the top floor

and pushed open a door in Room 312.

There was a doddering middle-aged man inside. He looked skinny, his hair thin and gray, looking as if he was very old. Wearing an oversized hospital gown and sitting on the bed, he looked out the window, sometimes laughing at himself, looking

neurotic.

Harvey and Shawn walked in tandem and then stood by his bedside and looked at the man with knife-like eyes as if they could penetrate the man's head.

"Will you still not tell me, will you?" Harvey said as

he pulled over a chair and sat down next to the man. The light in his eyes had completely faded, and they now looked as dark as the abyss. When the man saw Harvey, he was so frightened that he tried to hide under the bed, but Shawn grabbed him

and lifted his bony body back to the bed.

"I'm running out of patience, my dear teacher." Harvey's smile looked unusually gentle.

Nicole and Lulu found a fondue restaurant and had

a meal comfortably.

By the time they came out of the restaurant, Lulu happily rubbed her little belly and said to Nicole, "I feel as if we have just been out of jail. How about we come again next time, Nicole? Bring June and Bradley along."

Nicole looked at her with a smile in her eyes. "Why

not?"

Lulu looked at Nicole, feeling curious. "Don't you

think it's not as cold as before?"

Nicole did not reply. Lulu was used to talking to

herself, so she did not mind.

"This year is indeed going to be colder than usual.

Keep yourself warm, Nicole."

Lulu looked at Nicole with concern. Nicole always wore simply a T-shirt with a coat and a pair of

comfortable loose wide-leg pants. It was a casual mix and match fashion, but it looked great on Nicole.

Nicole was tall but not thin, her slightly curly hair cascading down her shoulders, making her look deadly lazy

Lulu had just wanted to see how much Nicole was wearing, but she was completely immersed in it. As a girl, she also thought Nicole was great-looking. No

wonder Harvey was irresistibly attracted to Nicole.
