Chapter 166 - Ch. 166 Miss Brewster

"Why do I feel that you're like a bear in pain? What happened?" Tye quickly realized his best friend's mood was not good.

"It's nothing."

"Is it about the next song?"

"…"

"So you finally hit a dead end? Who would have thought that in the end, the genius of the Adams songwriter finally ran out of ideas." laughed Tye in amusement while placing one hand under his head.

Nick sighed in defeat while scratching the back of his neck. "It's not like that. My mind has been distracted for the past few days."

"What's bothering you?"

Nick didn't answer him, and he unwittingly looked distracted.

"Nick? Hey, Nick!" constant calls from Tye brought Nick back into reality.

"What?"

"This is the first time I've seen you daydream like that. What happened?"

"I just remembered I passed an acquaintance of mine downstairs. Do you mind if I look for it for a bit?"

"Is it a girl?"

"It is," replied Nick with a grin. "And she's older than me."

"I'm not surprised. Is she cute?"

"She is, but not as cute as Kaylee."

Tye laughed in amused while shaking his head at the bright answer from his best friend. He knew what was bothering Nick's mind was not the girl he crossed in the lobby. It must be something else, but he wouldn't prey on his affair.

"Go then. I will rest my eyes for a while. Can't sleep since my mother was here."

"Alright." Nick patted his friend's shoulder twice before walking away to find the girl.

Well… how could he find her when he didn't know which floor the girl was on? Plus, Nick just wanted to get out of his friend's room and use it as an excuse.

Nick decided to sit in the lounger against the wall and facepalmed in a tired sigh.

'Nicolau, it's about time you returned to Folkland to help your father. Master Hades has also permitted it and approved you to take your father's place.'

'But… what about Kaylee?'

'The recovery process will soon be complete. You and your sister will no longer be needed there. It's time you left the Larsons.'

Remembering his conversation with his father's right hand made Nick massage his temple. He wondered if his sister had learned of Hades' decision?

How did her sister react? Why didn't Wendy ever tell him?

Nicholas leaned his back against the wall, and that's when his eyes caught the figure of a girl he saw downstairs. Spontaneously, the young man straightened his back and rose to his feet.

He followed the girl's footsteps who were walking fast, even almost running without calling her. Nick was curious about what the girl was doing in this hospital.

Not long after, his steps stopped when the girl called one of the doctors who had just checked the patient's condition.

"Miss Brewster, what a fancy to see you here."

"Cut your crap. What are you doing?"

"I beg your pardon? Please, tell me, what have I done?"

"Why did you tell my granny that you're my lover?"

"Aren't I?"

"No, you are not. If it's a matter of nursing costs, I can pay for it myself. I don't need your help."

"Brewster, listen to me…."

"No, you listen. I don't care how you feel about me. That's your own problem. But never take advantage of my weakness to threaten me."

"…"

Nick could see the doctor's ugly face when he heard the girl's last sentence. He knew the meaning of that expression very well. The handsome young doctor suppressed his anger to maintain his image in front of people.

If there were no one around them, Nick was sure the doctor would be angry and might as well resort to violence against the girl. 

"Mind your tone, Brewster."

"Mind your own business, doctor Bennet."

The doctor surprised them both by grabbing Miss Brewster by the wrist and pulling her to a quieter place. Worrying about what would happen to his acquaintance, Nick quickly followed them.

He decided to hide as soon as the two turned at the end of the corridor and entered the emergency stairs.

Nicholas waited there and listened to whatever the two of them had to say.

"Brewster, what do you want? Do you want your grandmother to die?"

"How could you say that? You know she's all I have."

"Then what's wrong with accepting my help?"

The girl walked closer to doctor Bennett with a blazing glare filled with anger.

"If you truly want to help me, you shouldn't tell everyone that I'm your pathetic lover that could do nothing without your money!" hissed the girl without hiding her hatred toward the doctor.

"Hmph! Aren't you looking for a rich candidate? Isn't that way you always go on blind dates? What makes me different from the others?"

Nick frowned at this. He knew the girl went on online blind dates a lot of times until he lost count. The girl was also very picky about accepting her date candidates. Number one was that the guy had to be a rich person, and then that person had to be handsome too.

Nick knew she wasn't serious about all the men she'd been on her blind dates with. He did a favor by ruining her blind date and acts like a jealous ex-lover.

Even though she was angry, she never really hated him. The girl would return to being cheerful as if she was relieved that she didn't have to be in a serious relationship.

"Don't touch me!"

And yet… this was the first time he had heard that girl's voice filled with anger.

"If you still insist on paying for it, I will find another hospital and another doctor who is better than you."

"You won't find another doctor like me." was his overproud statement with an arrogant tone.

His arrogance and pride make Nick snorted in disgust, and his hands were itching to beat the guy.

Even though he loves to flirt around and tease girls, he never mocks or disrespects them.

How dare this man speak scornfully to Lydia Brewster!?
