Jared gently brushed her hair aside and whispered, "Let's take care of your wounds first."
His heart had been unsettled ever since he went home. So, once the children were asleep, he decided to return to
the hospital and that was when he was immediately met with this scene.
He was not concerned about Snow, as this outcome was entirely of her own making. However, Nicole had sustained
another injury because of this, with her wound still bleeding, drenching the bandage and staining her clothes
scarlet.
He gently lifted Nicole into his arms and strode out of the ward.
"Clean the room," he said before carrying Nicole to the emergency room so that she could treat her wounds.
As for Nicole, her heart began to calm and settle in his embrace. She rested her head on his shoulder, feeling

anticipated that Snow would wait for another two days before making a move.
Still, it seemed that Jared's arrangements had worked.
There was no place for Snow to hide anyway, so she had no choice but to take a desperate risk and appear in such
sudden fashion.
She draped her arm around his neck and looked up at his handsome visage, her lips curling into a smile
unknowingly. With him by her side, she felt surprisingly at ease.
After a while, once Nicole's wound had been treated, they returned to the ward she had been assigned to. The
room had been tidied up, and the men in black had left. But Max was still there waiting for them.
"Mr. and Mrs. Johnston? Snow is still being resuscitated, but things aren't looking good for her," Max reported.
"Okay." Jared replied, his voice as cold as frost, and his demeanor indifferent.
Then, Nicole glanced at Max and asked, "Any other updates? rv
"The police have been informed, and the subsequent procedures are being carried out according to normal legal
processes. The rest is down to what happens to Snow now," Max reported truthfully.
They were waiting for the outcome of Snow's resuscitation. If she woke up, everything would be handled in normal
fashion. If not, there would be nothing left for them to deal with any longer.
"Go back and get some sleep for now. Well wait for the results tomorrow." Nicole said, having understood the
situation and decided not to press any further.
At this rate, their next course of action would be determined by whether Snow survived her injuries, or succumbed
to
them. If she survived, she would be held responsible for attempted murder. If not, nothing else would matter. It
would be the end of the line as far as she was concerned.

Jared then turned to Nicole, whose face had turned pale, helping her back onto the bed. "Rest up, well see how
things go tomorrow."
Before they could rest, however, a knocking sound emanated from the door.
This prompted Nicole to frown in confusion. "Come in."
'Who would be knocking on the door at this hour?' she wondered.
The door opened, revealing Preston, whose presence surprised her. "It's late. What brought you here?"
"I came because of Snow," Preston admitted.
"Oh, she's still being resuscitated," Nicole said, not knowing how to respond to Preston.
She briefly explained the situation to him and decided not to mention anything else.
After a slight moment of hesitation, Preston clenched his teeth and said, "I'm actually here to apologize."
"Apologize?" Nicole became even more confused now. 'Why would Preston want to apologize to me?'
