Only you in my love
Chapter 527 Cali's Feelings

John and Vicente stood at the door. The soft moonlight cast their shadows on the corridor. The night was deep and quiet, and the wind was cool.

Leaning against the wall, Vicente took a deep breath and asked John, "What happened?"

"Maybe it's a side effect of M.C." John reached for his pockets to take out a cigarette and a lighter, but then he remembered he had left them on the first floor.

He had quit smoking because Nina choked every time she smelled the smoke. But in the half a year that he had been separated from her, he had picked up the nasty habit again.

He had been restraining himself since he came to C Island. He did not smoke around Nina, but now he could not control himself.

If she were not in his arms, he would smoke. Otherwise, he would feel uneasy and a little panicked.

"Are you looking for a cigarette?" Vicente saw what John was doing.

John turned to look at her and asked, "Yes. Do you have one?"

Vicente shrugged. "No."

"No? Then why did you even ask?" The itch behind John's throat had gotten unbearable, making him irritable. He was clenching his fists to keep his hands from shaking. Vicente did not reply.

But she understood that John was not really angry. He was just agitated.

John also realized that he was taking out his frustrations on Vicente, but it was extremely difficult for him to apologize to anyone other than Nina.

"My little girl gets out of breath after running one kilometer, and she pales over after running five thousand meters. She can only jog because she may pass out if she speeds up. In the past, she ran after a thief and almost exhausted that thief to death." At the moment, John sounded like a bass chord.

"What's more, she can no longer lift Demi, who is less than one hundred pounds. In the past, she could lift a fully grown adult with one hand and throw them far away. Also, she feels the cold more than me..."

As Vicente listened to John, she recalled some details of the past few days and gradually lowered her eyes.

"If her immunity is declining, then we can just improve it. I believe it's not that complicated. Nina is my best friend, the best..." Vicente murmured.

The two retired to their own rooms with their own thoughts. Vicente tossed and turned for half the night before she finally fell asleep.

The sun was already high up in the sky when Vicente woke up the next morning.

She tossed the quilt aside and slid out of bed. She walked over, stood on the balcony, and looked into the distance. She saw two figures on the track by the artificial lake. They were taking a walk with towels around their necks.

The two of them looked a little serious as if they were discussing something important.

During breakfast, Vicente asked Nina, "What were you talking about this morning?"

"I want to investigate Demi." Nina thought she should start with Demi.

Vicente was not surprised. "I have her information."

"Your information is useless. If it weren't, then you should've known from the beginning that she was a spy. What you have on her is what she wants you to know." Nina scooped up a spoonful of purple potato paste and stuffed it into her mouth. Then, she drank a mouthful of milk.

"I'm full. Keep an eye on the situation in Jett's hospital. I'll go to Demi's house with John later to see if I can find any clues," Nina said and then stood up.

Vicente nodded, but remembering that Nina was not in good health now, she immediately stopped her. "Just let John go alone while you get some rest here at home. Or better yet, go to Scher Mountain. You can trust John to do all the work after all." Nina looked back at her and said, "I don't need to rest."

"But don't you miss Van and Don? You haven't held them for three or four days. All you did was video chat with them. They need their mother, Nina." Vicente did not want Nina to exhaust herself too much.

'It will take her a lot of time and energy to secretly investigate these things, and I'm really concerned that her health will not be able to keep up.'

Nina stopped, and Vicente continued, "That's it. You're going to Scher Mountain to see and be with your sons."

"You're right. I do miss Van and Don." The look in Nina's eyes suddenly softened.

Vicente's face lit up. "When Cali comes back, ask her to accompany you. Your brother has put together a new group of bodyguards for you. My men are no longer reliable."

"All right." Nina agreed.

Around ten o'clock in the morning, Cali came back from the hospital in high spirits. Noah had also been discharged.

Dressed neatly, Noah looked good. The light in his eyes had returned, making him look even more handsome.

Despite that, Nina was still worried. "Noah, why are you already out of the hospital? Are you fully recovered?"

"I'm okay. My wound is healing just fine as long as I move carefully and don't pick on it. All they were doing at the hospital was cleaning and redressing my wound every now and then. Since I could do that myself, I decided to come back," Noah answered in a cheerful tone. It seemed that there was nothing to worry about.

"Besides, I don't have anything to do at the hospital, and I don't like the smell of disinfectant."

"Well, you have nothing to do here either. Just go back to the hospital," John said seriously.

John's words startled Cali who then turned her head to Nina. She muttered under her breath, "Gosh, Sean is a little scary, isn't he?"

"He's not bad. He just couldn't be kind enough to care about others," Nina replied with a smile.

"Well, I know that Sean cares about Noah. After all, Noah took a knife in the gut for him." Cali fixed her eyes on John. Listening to his deep and pleasant voice, she even envied Noah.

'If I had caught a knife for him, would he also care about me?'

Cali added, "I believe that Sean is a very warm person. He's not as cold as he seems."

Nina whipped her head toward Cali and slightly narrowed her eyes. She suddenly felt very uncomfortable.

"You really like him, do you, Cali?"

"Hmm." Cali nodded and blushed. Realizing what she had blurted out, she immediately shook her head and said, "What? No, no! I didn't...I meant..."

Nina could tell that Cali really liked John, and she felt frustrated.

Nina would never give her husband to another woman. It was just that she did not know how to get rid of Cali's feelings for him.

'In the past, I could just announce my relationship with John and let others know that he was no longer available.

But I couldn't do that anymore, not in the situation we're in. What should I do?

Should I even do anything? It's not illegal to like someone!'

Nina was beginning to drive herself insane with her own thoughts. She thought for a while and said, "Well, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I believe Sean is in love with someone else." "Really? I see." Cali's bright eyes abruptly dimmed.

Nina felt a little guilty, but she gritted her teeth and nodded. "Yes, and the woman also loves Sean very much."

After a moment's silence, Cali turned to look at Nina with a pair of clear eyes. "Why isn't she by Sean's side? I've been secretly observing Sean for a long time. I haven't seen him contact anyone or get close to any woman. He seems to only be close to you, but that's his job. He needs to be close to you to keep you safe."

Nina blinked at her twice. 'I want to say that I am John's wife and that we love each other very much.

But I can't say these words. I can't expose us to the public.'

Nina kept silent for a moment, and Cali's dim eyes lit up again.000
