Sweet Sorrow novel Chapter 24

Nicole ran out of the room with the phone in her hand, like crazy.

She just didn't look after her mother for only one day. How could something bad had happened to her mother all of a sudden? 'How could that be possible? No. It is impossible.'

The Cardiology Department was in the other building. Nicole couldn't wait for the elevator so she ran downstairs and up one after another, almost dying.

"Where's Mom?" She grasped Jim's arm and asked while gasping.

Jim wiped his tears and answered while sobbing, "Mom... mom is in the emergency room. The doctors are rescuing her."

"What happened? She was all right the night before yesterday when I left." Nicole felt very guilty. If she hadn't fallen ill and been entangled with love and passion, her mother might not have had such an accident.

"I don't know." Jim shook his head and replied, "Austin's mother came to chat with mom. I went to buy them food and when I came back, mom had fainted."

Nicole screamed, "what did you say? Who has been here? "

"The mother of my brother-in-law, Selina Zhang."

As heard these words, Nicole lost her balance and fell down to the ground. Luckily, Jim supported her with his hands and worriedly asked, "Nicole, are you okay?"

"Selina...Selina...Selina... What was she doing?...Why did she come here?" Nicole murmured.

It shouldn't be a coincidence. Her mother fainted all of a sudden after Selina got here. It must because Selina said something which her mother could undertake. That should be the reason.

'It must be so.'

"Where is she? Where is Selina now?" Nicole gritted her teeth and even looked at Jim with hatred.

Scared of her look, Jim answered in a trembling voice, "I don't know... Sister, calm down first. Don't freak me out. "

"I am very calm." Nicole let go of Jim and quickly dialed to Selina.

After the fifth beep, Selina finally picked up the phone.

"I am asking you, why did you come to the hospital to see my mother? What did you talk to her?" Nicole controlled her anger and asked.

On the other end of the phone, Selina was silent for a few seconds. She didn't pretend knowing nothing, but her attitude was very arrogant. "How dare you are asking me? I do want to ask you, why are you still cheating money on Austin after divorce?"

"What?"

"Don't you think that I am knowing nothing? You asked money from Austin once and once again when your mother need money to do surgery. Am I right? Don't your family feel ashamed? How can you keep asking for money from us after divorce? Is our family your ATM? "

If she was not at the other end of the phone, Nicole really wanted to slap her in the face.

She gritted her teeth and said word by word, "yes, I did borrow sixty thousand from your son, but I have returned it to him and I don't owe him any money! And I'm telling you. If anything bad happens to my mother, you'll pay for it! "

After hanging up the phone. Nicole was so angry that almost fainted.

"Sister, what's wrong? Are you all right?" Saying the words, Jim helped Nicole sit down on the bench at once.

"I'm fine."

Jim took out a bottle of water from his bag, unscrewed the cap and handed it to Nicole. "Sister, what were you doing yesterday? I sent you so many messages, but you didn't reply any."

Nicole stopped drinking water and thought for a few seconds. With a straight face, she said, "I caught a cold and had a fever yesterday, so I slept all day."

"What? Are you still having a fever? " As he spoke, Jim reached out to touch Nicole's forehead.
