Chapter 304

A Stern Warning I stood there feeling helpless and confused. Maybe because Atlas trusted Nick, my emotions got the best of me. I couldn’t conceal my anxiety as I looked at him.

“Mr. Nick, besides the head injury, how is he? Is he okay? Did the doctors say when he might wake up?

And…will there be any lasting effects?”

I felt myself on the verge of breaking down. Why did fate have to be so cruel? Why did it have to be Atlas?

Nick looked at my face, helpless. “He also had arm and chest injuries, but the head injury was the worst. The doctors can’t provide a definite timeline for when he’ll wake up. It could be a few days or maybe even months, depending on how the bleeding in his head resolves.”

I couldn’t hold back my tears, but I quickly wiped them away.

“Ms. Chloe, you should go back. This accident has already disrupted Atlas’s plans. We all hope he wakes up soon and can take charge,” Nick said seriously. “Of course, I understand how you feel, but now that this has happened, we must focus on moving on.”

“Mr. Nick, do you think this car accident is that simple?” I asked candidly. “How could it be such a coincidence?”

Nick visibly paused, studying me. I didn’t know what he was thinking but realized I was becoming too agitated.

“No one can stop accidents, but we can stop things from worsening. I hope you’ll maintain a clear head and exercise calm rationality.”

I knew he was concerned that my thoughts might stray down dangerous paths.

*ATL Empire has always been a ship full of huge hopes. It will not sink from minor mishaps. Listen to me.

Focus on doing what’s within your responsibilities.”

Nick had never addressed me with such sternness, and it left me bewildered.

“Don’t get sucked into this whirlpool. If Atlas were here, he wouldn’t want to see you like this. You can’t let him worry and be his distraction. You’re a smart woman.”

His words hit me like a slap in the face, but they still weren’t enough.

With stern severity, he added, “You’re not yet capable of assisting him. It’s best if you don’t cause further disturbance Nick not only had a heavy tone but also a darkened expression. IL warning.

I hesitated, then chose to push my doubts aside. If I couldn’t trust Atlas and Nick, who could I trust?

“Sorry for troubling you,” I said as I bid farewell to Nick and left ATL Empire.

Once back in my car, I could no longer contain my grief. I bowed my head onto the steering wheel and sobbed.

Finally, I regained control and whispered, “Everything will be alright, Chloe. You really can’t add chaos to his situation.”

However, he was still unconscious. I couldn’t imagine him not waking up, knowing he must have suffered so many injuries. As the tears welled up again, I wished he could stand before me, smiling again.

Why did it have to be like this? He was perfectly fine! No, I couldn’t believe this was just a coincidence.

Sniffing back my tears, I pressed the gas pedal, leaving the ATL Empire building behind.
