Ethan thought that after hearing the news, Nicole would look fearful, anxious, and even doubtful.
But he saw none of those emotions on the young lady’s face.
On the contrary, what he saw was an expression of regret and acceptance, as if she was already aware of her fate.
“Thank you for telling me I only have a year left to live,” Nicole said with a faint smile. “I’m sorry. It seems I made you worry.”
“Did you already know?” Ethan asked. “You look too calm for a person who will die in a year.”
Nicole’s too calm of a reaction made him frown. But after thinking about it, he understood that the young lady in front of him wouldn’t show any signs of weakness in front of anyone. That was simply what she was like.
It was also the reason why he admired her. No matter the situation, she always looked confident, as if everything was under her control.
