My Wife Act Differently Behind Me
Chapter 267

Chapter 267

The leading special force soldier could only ask respectfully.

"Miss Riddle, is there anything else that you need?"

Nicole shook her head.

Seeing that, the soldiers immediately snapped into a salute as he spoke into the walkie-talkie, "Second squad mission complete.

Withdraw!"

The soldiers left the room in huge strides when they saw Damien standing outside the room.

The few of them stopped and looked at him for a few seconds before letting out a solemn smile.

"Mr. Riddle, please take good care of Miss Riddle.

If we replace out that anyone dares to bully her.

We will definitely pay San Joto a visit."

At this moment, Damien's expression got even more serious. He had originally thought that they were just acquaintances.

He did not expect those people to be so protective of her.

He really started to wonder who this Nicole was who came back from the countryside.

At the same moment, the few special forces saluted Daniel and Gloria before leaving.

Seeing that Daniel and his wife were being treated better than he was, Damien fumed as a somewhat complicated look finally appeared on his face.

He had tried everything to get into a relationship with others, and perhaps he looked like a veritable clown in their eyes.

Thinking of the difference in treatment and attitude Daniel and his wife received when compared to him, a touch of jealousy never before seen appeared on Damien's face.

'Daniel is a literal nobody.

What right does he have to be treated like that?'

The more Damien thought about it, the gloomier he got.

Daniel did not look at him as he rushed into the room to see Mr. Riddle Sr.

When he saw the latter breathing steadily, he gently heaved a sigh of relief.. Heavens knew that his biggest fear was seeing his own relatives falling sick. After all, he was all too familiar with that feeling of helplessness and powerlessness.

He then looked at Nicole, his eyes bright.

"Nicole, when will grandpa wake up?"

Gloria nudged him a little, hinting him to ask a few questions less.

She looked at Nicole and said worriedly, "You haven't had a good rest, right? Go and take a nap.

We'll be here." Nicole shook her head as she stood by the window, her face pale as snow, yet her expression indifferent. "Grandpa should wake up before long.

I'll go after he wakes up." As the few spoke, Damien came in as well and heard what Nicole said.

A suspicious look appeared on his face as he said, "Really? Dad will wake up soon? You aren't pulling my leg, right?" This was heart surgery.

It being successful was already a good thing.

Could it be possible for someone to wake up two days after the operation?

Nicole could not be bothered by his performance.

Daniel, on the other hand, answered very patiently.

"Nicole will not lie to us.

Damien, let's just wait."

Damien frowned a little.

He did not believe Nicole, but he was concerned about what the special force soldier had said, so he said nothing.

He could only sit by Mr. Riddle Sr.'s bed and did not give anyone else a look.

Gloria went to the kitchen to make some remedies.

She was really distressed seeing Nicole's complexion as she could tell Nicole had not been sleeping well.

Just as Gloria was about to leave, Nicole suddenly noticed Mr. Riddle Sr.'s fingers moving slightly.

She quickly walked over, and seeing that his eyes were starting to move, she was completely relieved now.

Nicole gave Daniel a look, motioning him to stay here as she turned around and left the room.

Damien did not understand Nicole's action, but just as he was about to say something, she had already disappeared.

Daniel, on the other hand, remembered Nicole saying that she would stay until Mr. Riddle Sr. woke up.

'If she left, does that mean...'

Just as he entertained that thought, Mr. Riddle Sr. suddenly let out a slight cough as if expelling the turbid air long accumulated within him.

Daniel's eyes immediately lit up, but Damien called out even faster than he could.

"Dad, you're finally awake!"
