Chapter 2358
The passerby exchanged glances and dispersed soon after, leaving behind two black-clad individuals with grim expressions on
their faces.
"Begin your investigation. I'll inform Max."
"Sure thing.”
The two then went their separate ways.
Meanwhile, the ambulance delivered Nicole and Lulu to the hospital, whereupon the paramedics hurried her into the ER.
Lulu’s hands and shirt were covered in blood as she stood perplexed in front of the emergency room, looking distraught and
heartbroken. The people who had rushed over after receiving the news about Nicole were all worried sick after seeing Lulu in the
state she was in.
"Hey, Lulu," Spencer approached Lulu and held her in his arms. "Don’t worry. I’m here now."
Upon noticing Spencer, Lulu gave him a blank stare, and in a second, she burst into tears. Nicole s hurt! No matter how many
times I called out to her, she just wouldn’t answer back. I'm so scared...”
"Don't panic. What did the doctor in the ambulance say on the way here?" Spencer asked.
Deep down, he was panicking too, but he had to keep it together. All he wanted was to ask and find any trace of
reassurance that Nicole would be okay. He was not the only one, however; the entire family could not bear to see something
disastrous happen to Nicole again, especially not after everything that had happened in the past five years.
"The doctor said... ugh. I don't know. I just kept calling her, but she just didn't respond,” Lulu said, scared out of her wits.
The only thing she could remember was Nicole being knocked unconscious.
"She’ll be fine,” a cold voice blared out from behind, though it sounded more like a statement of reassurance for oneself.
Then, Spencer glanced at Jared and echoed, "That's right. She'll be fine.”
Spencer and Jared were the ones who had gotten the news. They were also the quickest ones to get here. By now, Sean, Steve,
and Stanley should be on their way here. They did not notify their parents about Nicole’s current predicament as no one dared to
tell them at this moment.
Soon after, a series of loud and rapid footfalls echoed in the hallway, and just like that, Sean, Steve, and Stanley had arrived.
"How is she?"
"She's still inside. We don't know the results yet,"
The ones who had already there earlier were still unsure of the situation, but they sincerely hoped Nicole was okay.
After a moment of silence, the tension outside of the emergency room grew even more palpable.
"Stanley, get someone to go in and ask about her situation,"
Sean said with sunken eyes.
’’Okay," Stanley agreed. He immediately contacted the front desk and arranged for a nurse to check on Nicole. After assessing
the situation, the nurse stepped out of the emergency room, not wanting to disrupt the procedures inside.
"So? How is it?” the few of them asked in unison.
"The nurse on duty said it is not life-threatening. They're just treating a flesh wound. I did not dare to bother the doctor, because
I'm afraid that I'll just get in the way of the treatment, so I'm not sure of the specifics," the nurse responded.
Knowing Nicole's injuries were not fatal, the few men were relieved.
Then, Lulu stopped crying and with a sniff, she asked, "She isn't in danger?"
Rest assured, she'll be fine," Spencer comforted, gently smoothing Lulu's hair as he spoke. "Now, go tend to your injuries."
TH be fine. All I got was a scratch," Lulu refused.
She did not want to leave the place, as she wanted to wait for Nicole to come out. If Nicole had not pushed her away, Lulu could
have been run over by the car. Not only had she saved Lulu’s life, but she had also sustained injured as a result of it.
"Even minor scrapes demand medical attention. I'll go with you," Spencer held Lulu's hand, leading her to another area to tend to
her wounds.
As they waited outside, the remaining men exchanged glances.
Sean's gaze settled on Jared. How's the investigation?"
Nothing yet," Jared said with darkened eyes, his demeanor frosty and stern.
