CHAPTER 635: CHAPTER 635: VISITING MOTHER IN THE HOSPITAL

Nina Sinclair entered her room.

The room was still in the pink tones that a girl would love, looking a bit childish, yet full of her childhood memories.

She gently sat on the bed, reached out and lightly caressed the sheets. They looked brand new, just as Byron Sinclair had said, someone regularly cleaned the room.

Her eyes suddenly became teary.

While Nina Sinclair was lost in thought, her phone rang suddenly; it was Sharon Lancaster calling.

No need to guess, she already knew Sharon wanted to invite her out and comfort her.

At this moment, Nina Sinclair was feeling sad, and ordinary comfort wouldn’t ease it. Going out with Sharon would only add to her guilt.

Nina honestly didn’t blame Sharon. Instead, she was quite grateful to her. It was through Sharon that she met Julian Lancaster and shared such beautiful memories with him.

There was no sense of regret in her heart.

Nina realized she was daydreaming, swiped her phone to answer, "Hello, Sharon."

"N-Nina..." Sharon called out but suddenly didn’t know what to say, just feeling very guilty and unable to offer comfort.

She went to the villa, only to find Nina was already gone, and could only call her.

Having been close sisters with Sharon for so long, Nina understood what she was thinking.

She chuckled softly, "Sharon, you don’t need to feel guilty about what happened between me and your brother. There’s an unbridgeable gap between us, and it has nothing to do with you. On the contrary, I should thank you for it. Don’t burden yourself emotionally; we’ll always be good sisters."

Sharon was moved to the verge of tears.

She hadn’t expected Nina to not blame her but instead comfort her.

Her brother had asked her to comfort Nina, yet Sharon felt she was the one needing comfort.

Finally, Sharon managed to say a few words, and then they ended the call.

Nina looked at the phone and sighed quietly.

...

The next day, Nina opened her eyes.

Byron Sinclair knew about her recent divorce, so he advised her to rest at home for three days before returning to the Sinclair Group to ease her mood.

Nina seemed very calm on the surface, like nothing had happened, but she knew she wasn’t that composed, and indeed couldn’t immerse herself in work in such a short time.

She agreed to Byron’s request.

After washing up, Nina planned to visit her mother in the hospital, as she’d not seen her for quite a while.

Nina contacted Joel Thatcher, who seemed very delighted upon receiving the call, saying he’d be waiting for her at the hospital.

After getting ready, Nina headed to the hospital.

Joel was already waiting in Madeline Sherman’s hospital room. Upon seeing Nina, he approached her, "You’ve finally come."

Nina curled her lips into a smile and asked, "How is my mother’s condition?"

"Her condition has been very stable lately, so you don’t need to worry. She’s much better compared to when she first got admitted."

Nina could see that her mother was truly being well taken care of. Although she covered all the medical expenses for Joel, he was attentive in his care, purely out of regard for her.

She sincerely said, "Joel, thank you for taking care of my mother all this time."

"Do we need to be polite between us? But..." Joel suddenly looked at Nina suspiciously.

He sensitively sensed something. Although he hadn’t seen Nina for some time, he knew her micro-expressions very well from growing up together.

Though Nina was smiling at him now, a melancholy emotion lingered in her eyes.

Joel narrowed his eyes and asked, "What’s wrong? Did something happen? Don’t tell me you’ve found out about your mother’s situation?"
