Chapter 236
He and his wife were really close, and he wasn’t the type to mess around.
He didn’t have any mistresses or illegitimate kids-Nicolas was his only child.
He’d always spoiled his son rotten. If he hadn’t, he never would’ve let Nicolas go off and play around in showbiz.
Now that his son was left unable to have kids, no matter how close their families used to be, there was no way he could just let this slide.
If the Hammond family hadn’t spoiled and indulged Nicole, how could a stepdaughter like her have ever dared to scheme against his son?
If the Hammond family didn’t give him a proper explanation, he wouldn’t hesitate to cut ties
with them.
After all, if his son couldn’t have kids, who would take over the Moore Group in the future?
Just thinking about it made his heart ache.
Kevin could understand why the Moore family was so pissed.
If someone’s daughter drugged him and made him infertile, he’d lose his mind too.
“Alright, I’ll let my dad know,” Kevin said.
The brothers didn’t leave-they just hung around, waiting for Nicolas to come to.
After roughing Mavis up, Nicolas’s mother finally felt a bit of relief.
She left her bodyguards to keep an eye on Mavis and headed back to the hospital.
Not long after Diana returned, Nicolas woke up.
Even though he seemed unconscious, he was actually aware the whole time.
He could feel his body on the verge of bursting apart, and then Alicia came in to treat him.
He could vaguely catch snippets of Alicia talking with his parents.
When he opened his eyes, his first words were, “Where’s Ally?”
Nicolas’s mother rushed over as soon as she saw him wake up. “Alicia’s already left.”
Seeing how he reacted, she could tell he still cared about Alicia.
She couldn’t help but hate Nicole even more. If it hadn’t been for that spiteful woman, her

son wouldn’t have fallen out with Alicia, and he wouldn’t be unable to have kids now.
She asked with concern, “Are you feeling any better?”
Nicolas replied weakly, “Yeah, I’m doing better. Just feel kind of limp all over.”
He asked, “Mom, did I hear Alicia say I won’t ever be able to have kids?”
His mother’s eyes were red, her voice trembling as she replied, “Yes, the drug you were given did serious damage.”
Nicolas felt his heart drop. ‘Damn, it’s really true. I can’t have kids anymore, he thought.
He never really cared much about having kids anyway—he was still young, and the whole idea of being a dad had never even crossed his mind.
But not being able to have kids just made it clear-things were really over between him and Alicia now.
‘Who’s going to take over the Moore Group in the future?’ he wondered.
And he had no idea what this infertility would mean for his health down the line.
Nicolas’s mother let out a sigh of relief. “Good thing you didn’t get caught up in Nicole’s plot. If you had, you wouldn’t just be infertile—you’d be bedridden for the rest of your days.”
These days, a lot of normal folks just don’t have any luck with kids, no matter how hard they
try.
So if her son couldn’t have kids, so be it. Worst case, they could always take in a child from another branch of the Moore family.
She and her husband were still in their forties-if it really came down to it, they could just have another kid themselves to inherit the family business.
Honestly, she cared way more about her son’s health in the long run than whether he could have kids or not.
She felt both relieved and terrified-thank goodness her son managed to keep his wits about him and didn’t lose control.
If he’d actually gotten involved with Nicole, his whole future would’ve been completely destroyed.
If that had happened, she might’ve really lost it and wanted to take Nicole out herself.
Nicolas was feeling a lingering fear too, now that he thought about it.

Thank God he never liked Nicole. Back then, he’d thought that if he’d ever touched her. there’d be zero chance of him and Alicia ever getting back together.
So even though he was suffering and tempted to go for Nicole, he gritted his teeth and forced himself to hold back.
Nicolas’s eyes went steely cold. “Mom, there’s no way I’m letting this go. Nicole is going to pay, one way or another.”
If Nicole dared to mess with him like that, she’d better be ready to pay the price.
Nicolas’s mother nodded. “Damn right.”
Even if her son hadn’t said a word, she’d never let Nicole and her mother walk away
unscathed.
The three Hammond brothers standing nearby just wanted to crawl under a rock after hearing that mother-son duo talk.
All they could do was pray their dad wouldn’t start losing his grip and go out of his way to
shield Nicole.
