Chapter 1506: My Name Is Nicole—Nicole as in "Shallow," Nicole as in "Tides" [9]

After speaking, still feeling it’s not enough, Nicole looked deeply at Jose Floyd and added: "Whether it’s the past or the future, I want to be the number one in your heart. Jose Floyd, I want you to have only me in your heart for life. I want the name Nicole to become an inescapable shackle for you, allowing me to be free and wilful in your world."

This sentence she had spoken before. After he brought her back to the Manor Estate, she pointed to his left heart and declared this with resounding certainty, giving him a moment of shock and a lifetime of unforgettable.

Jose Floyd’s eyes and heart were fully occupied by Nicole, whether it was her from back then or her now, she could easily shake his heart with a single sentence.

Jose Floyd’s long fingers tightened their grip around her delicate fingers nestled in his palm, his gaze deep and gentle, "You’ve achieved it."

She truly became the number one in his heart; regardless of the past or present, there was always only her.

She could be wilful, could hurt, but he was willing for her to act wilfully in his world, just because in his cold world only she had entered, and had never left.

In this world, she is the number one in his heart, just like a ray of sunshine, shining into his cold and lonely world.

Jose Floyd carried Nicole onto the rubber raft, put the life jacket on her, and then got on the rubber raft himself.

When he hugged her, she felt the unusual warmth of his palm, "Jose... your body temperature is abnormal."

She had studied medicine, became more meticulous since Regina’s arrival, because her child often caught colds, so she noticed his abnormal temperature quickly.

"It’s not just abnormal, it’s evident fever. We’ve been looking for you for hours, he just kept calling out for you, fearful for your safety. Miss, your husband treats you so well, cherish him." The paramilitary in the front exclaimed.

What returned to Nicole was Jose Floyd’s tight embrace, still unable to believe the sudden occurrence of loss and regain.

She truly appeared alive in his sight.

Over two years, hundreds of days, countless moments of torment, accompanied by her single call ’Jose’, brought much peace to his heart.

It was her—

In this world only she ever called him ’Jose’.

"Why were you tied to the pillar?" Compared to himself, he always cared about her.

Nicole, embraced by Jose Floyd, said softly: "I couldn’t walk effectively in the floodwaters, afraid I’d be overwhelmed or faint suddenly and be submerged, so when I went out I took a rope and tied myself to a pillar at a storefront with a high step when I felt I couldn’t hold on if I fainted. Then I wouldn’t be washed away, waiting for the flood to recede; if I wasn’t drowned, I could survive."

She couldn’t have anything happen, Regina hadn’t been found, she dared not die.

"You’re really clever." The paramilitary remarked with a smile.

Jose Floyd glanced at Nicole, silently held her tighter.

It wasn’t her cleverness, but her previous military training. She understood binding herself to a wooden pillar meant in flooding, wood could float, even if the building were washed away she wouldn’t sink, increasing her survival odds.

Nicole understood Jose Floyd deeply; from a single action, she knew he understood her thoughts. Leaning against Jose Floyd’s embrace, she murmured: "Jose, there’s no longer Seys Family’s Nicole."

Only Nicole, shedding the surname Seys, abandoning everything of the Seys Family, relinquishing the halo of the Seys Family’s treasured jewel, just waiting in the small town for him to come fetch...
