Dumping My Fiancé For His Uncle

Nicolas said, "Thea, leave all your time to me today. You're not allowed to read the public opinion or news online, and you're not allowed to dwell on those things again, okay?" Nicolas's eyes were like a powerful black hole that pulled Thea into it. She said, "I'll listen to you."

After the incident, Oliver was sent back to the mansion in Key Biskane.

Nicolas's apartment was empty, which was in line with his usual minimalist style.

However, when they entered the bedroom, the style was completely different.

Thea looked at the pink bedsheets and could not close her mouth. "Nicolas, do you have to be so girly? You said before that you like pink..."

Thea had not lived here since she bought a property in Silvercreek.

However, Nicolas still renovated the master bedroom to her liking. It was a replica of her apartment.

Thea's cheeks turned red from Nicola's straightforward gaze. She tried her best to maintain her composure. "I want to take a shower first." After a long night, she was naturally exhausted.

Thea came out of the bathroom. Nicolas thoughtfully closed the curtains for her.

The curtains provided good shade. Even if it were noon, no light would enter.

There was only a dim desk lamp, which illuminated Thea.

Meanwhile, Nicolas was lying on the 6.5-foot bed that did not match his style at all. When Thea saw him, it was like a silent invitation. "Nicolas, who taught you to be so seductive?" Thea bit the corner of his lips.

She didn't bite him hard. The sudden warm touch made Nicolas stiffen. His voice was hoarse. "Stop fooling around. Go to sleep."

Thea was tired all day and did not have time to get intimate with him. He didn't want to torment his only wife.

However, Thea had other intentions.

She tossed and turned on the bed. Every subtle touch carried a different meaning.

Previously, even if they slept on the same bed, Thea had never made so many little movements.

Nicolas almost couldn't control himself. He cleared his throat. "I'm going to the bathroom.

Only a cold shower could suppress the restlessness in his heart.Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

But Thea refused. She held Nicolas's wrist, and the strap of her nightgown slipped off her shoulder. Nicolas quietly returned to her side and covered this beautiful sight with the blanket. Thea was a little disappointed and stopped her intentional actions.

Actually, she hadn't intended to do anything. However, she couldn't fall asleep no matter how hard she tried.

No matter how sleepy or tired she was, as long as she closed her eyes, the bloody scene she saw would repeatedly appear in her mind. It almost suffocated her.

Only when her gaze landed on Nicola's cold and hard face could the frustration in her heart ease and let her catch her breath.

Nicolas asked, "What are you thinking?"

Thea replied, "I'm thinking about those workers. They're employees of Sparkle Rocks. Now that such a big incident happened, shouldn't I visit them?"

If she did not go to the hospital, she would never feel at ease.

"I'll go with you." Nicolas could tell that Thea was in a daze. She was destined not to have a peaceful sleep.

The workers of Sparkle Rocks were all admitted to First Hospital. There were more than a hundred patients on the entire floor, and they were all workers.

As soon as Thea stepped out of the elevator, her ears were filled with painful wails. "Doctor, give me an anesthetic. I really can't take it anymore."

"Doctor, I'm begging you. Please save my husband's leg. He's the breadwinner of our family. Everyone in the family survives. on his income. If his leg is amputated, our family will have to starve."

The doctor weaved through the crowd. He was extremely busy. "Please listen to the doctor's instructions."

Thea felt as if she had come to hell on earth. Her heart sank to the bottom.

These workers were originally people whose families were not very rich. That was why they became miners and did the most difficult and tiring work.

To them, being injured was like the end of the world.

Thea's body turned cold. Regardless of whether someone was behind this or not, she could not shirk the responsibility. She had never thought of shunning this responsibility.

Thea's sharp eyes saw a thin middle-aged woman struggling to help her crippled husband up. "Felix, you should at least have some pumpkin soup. Your hand is crippled, but you can't give up on yourself out of spite. The doctor said that you lost too much blood this time and need nourishment."

Her words were like thin needles pricking Thea's heart. It hurt more than any other time.

Thea suddenly felt that the gift she brought was too insignificant, but she still chose to bite the bullet and go forward. "Hello, these are granola bars I brought. They provide good nourishment."

Her cold tone was incompatible with the noisy environment.

The other party recognized Thea almost instantly.

The hot pumpkin soup hit the back of Thea's flawless and tender hand, causing it to immediately become red and swollen. Thea stopped the cold Nicolas and forced a smile. "This is just a personal token. Sparkle Rocks will definitely give the most generous compensation to injured workers in the future. I hope you can..."

Thea wanted the other party to accept her gift, but her words were stuck in her throat. She could not bring herself to say them out.

How could they possibly accept it? Many of them probably wished for her to die.

Many of the workers did not even know Thea before.

However, after the reporters' publicity this time, not only did they remember Thea's name deeply, but many of them had also cursed her.

Yet, that was not as satisfying as a real slap.

"Thea, you're indeed released from custody. We blame it on our bad luck that you don't take the lives of ordinary people like us seriously just because you're rich and powerful. But how dare you still come to the hospital! Are you trying to take photos of yourself comforting us for the media to put yourself in a good light?

"My husband's leg is already crippled, yet you brought these granola bars and mentioned compensation. We don't want them. Why don't you..."

Sharp curses came one after another, piercing Thea's eardrums. She stood rooted to the ground in a daze.

Boiling water, fists, and slaps were thrown at Thea. The pain made Thea frown slightly, but she did not resist. She even used her gaze to stop Nicolas from rushing forward.

If she could use these methods to let the families vent their anger, Thea felt that it was worth it. No matter what the reason was, they were the ones who suffered the most.

Thea said, "Sparkle Rocks was negligent in the basic preventive work. I've never dared to ask for your forgiveness. I only hope that you can give us a chance to do our best to compensate."

Her apologies were drowned in anger.

Nicolas could not hold it in anymore. He strode forward and pulled Thea into his arms, letting the anger that was aimed at her fall on him.

It hurt.

Thea looked at Nicolas's cold face in disbelief. Before she could react, she heard the other party's nasty words.

"Oh my, is he trying to save the damsel in distress?"

"Mister, open your eyes wide to see if the person in your arms is worthy of your protection. She's a profiteer who caused so many of our families to be destroyed."

"Thea, come forward and die! You committed a great sin. Even if you die a hundred times, it won't be enough."
