Chapter 1406
"I'm sorry..." Harvey uttered, unable to say anything else.
Nicole then landed a series of punches on his chest. "I asked you to stall him. If you had done your damn job, he
would have been fine...!"
As she spoke, her voice choked. Harvey had never seen Nicole in her current state. He had seen valiant Nicole; the
Nicole who was always calm, collected, brilliant, and capable of coming up with strategies to deal with any situation,
but he had never seen her being so vulnerable and tearful.
At that moment, he became overwhelmed with remorse. He could not help but hug Nicole and allow her to land a
flurry of hits on him.
"Hit me. I did not think that things would turn out the way they are. Jared ultimately knew everything. He had
people monitoring you at the hospital... He knew that Joyce had brought her men with her to make another attempt
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇton your life, and knowing this, he left in a hurry..." Harvey revealed as Nicole continued to land a few blows on him.
However, the more she knew about the truth, the greater her pain became. As it turned out, she was not wrong;
Jared actually knew everything. It was just that he did not burst her bubble as he wanted her to fulfill her plans,
opting instead to protect her in secret
It was unknown to her how often Jared had always protected her in secret and helped her out while taking her plans
into consideration
Jared had indeed sacrificed much just for her, so much so that he would not be able to pay him back in this lifetime.
She closed her eyes, overwhelmed and wounded, before Nicole blacking out and losing consciousness...
"Nicole! Nicole!" Harvey held onto Nicole. Afraid that she would fall over, he grabbed her at once.
Concurrently, Max, who had been busy handling all the paperwork, saw everything that had transpired and
immediately rushed over. " Damn it. Send Miss Riddle to the ER. Quick!"
Earlier, he was busy dealing with matters for his employer and actually forgot that Nicole was the person who had
plummeted down seven floors. As such, it would be impossible for her to not suffer any injuries at all. He would be
damned if he continued to ignore her while she was going through all of this with a few internal injuries.
Harvey and Max quickly wheeled her to the emergency room at the very door. Upon arrival, the doctor began his
examination on Nicole immediately while Harvey and Max sat outside the door, waiting.
Time flew by, and before they knew it, night fell, with the air growing chillier with each passing hour. The hospital
corridor soon grew quiet and empty. Meanwhile, Nicole, who was struggling in her dreams, was jolted awake all of a
sudden.
Realizing that she was in a ward, Nicole swiftly sat up, feeling dizzy.
But before she could leap out of the bed, Harvey stopped her. " Don't move. You have sustained several internal
injuries and a concussion in your head. You need to rest more."
However, Nicole did not have time or the will to worry about herself. "What about Jared!?"
Harvey looked at the time. Seeing that five hours had already passed, he shook his head.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"The operation had yet to end..."
However, as he concluded his sentence, Nicole disregarded her injuries and pulled the needles and tubes out of her
body. The fact that she was bleeding did not bother her as she put on her pair of sandals and rushed out.
"Nicole!!" Harvey attempted to stop her but only managed to catch onto the edge of her sleeve.
Nicole broke free during the very next second and barged out of the ward. Not giving an ounce of care for her leg
injury, she made her way to the operating theater where Jared was.
At the same time, Martin had just exited the theater. From afar, he saw Nicole rushing toward him in a hobble.
Without even bothering to speak to Max, he quickly hurried over to hold onto Nicole.
"You're badly injured. What are you doing, running over in a rush? " Martin looked at Nicole, distressed.
He could not understand why she was acting so foolishly.
"What about him?! How is he?!" she asked.
Nicole, at the moment, had her sights and heart wholly on Jared, and the only thing she wanted was to know
whether he was fine or not.
