Chapter 2359

Knowing Jared was into it, Sean did not pursue the matter further. They could only wait for the results of the investigation.

“Who would dare to lay their hands on Nicole so daringly in San Joto?!” Steve gritted his teeth.

“Could it be that bunch of scumbags who had a bone to pick with Nicole before?” Stanley speculated with worry.

Nicole had almost lost her life during that attack, and while they had been hiding in the shadows ever since her return, they might have just been biding their time.

Sean frowned and asked, “What do you think, Jared?”

“It doesn’t matter who did it. That person will pay for it,” Jared said in an icy tone.

Jared would go to great lengths to ensure that the offender got the punishment he deserved.

“Let’s wait for the results first,” Sean’s expression darkened, knowing that once the culprit had been discovered, the rest could be dealt with afterward.

Soon, the doors of the emergency room opened, and the nurses came Nicole out. The good news was that she had already woken up.

Looking at the people outside the emergency room, Nicole exclaimed with shock, “Why are you here?”

“You were hit by a car and rendered unconscious. Did you think we wouldn’t come?” Steve looked at Nicole, finally at ease.

“The patient suffered a concussion due to the impact of the hit. Other than that, all her injuries are external. She’ll be fine with some rest,” the doctor explained and left.

The nurse then went on to remind, “Let’s send the patient to her ward first.”

“Oh right,” they said and pushed Nicole away, leaving the nurse stunned and frozen in place.

After Nicole had been settled down, Lulu came back after treating her wounds.

“Nicole! Ah. Thank God you’re alright. You scared me to death there,” Lulu burst into tears again after seeing Nicole.

“I’m fine. There’s no need to cry,” Nicole chuckled as she sized Lulu up. “How’s your injury?”

Nicole had acted on instinct and pushed Lulu away, resulting in Lulu falling to the ground. This led her to believe that Lulu had been injured as well.

“I’m fine. Just a few scratches here and there. Nothing that hasn’t been taken care of,” Lulu explained.

She then asked, “What about you? What did the doctor say?”

Lulu felt that her injuries were insignificant as compared to Nicole’s.

“Me too. The doctor asked me to rest for two days,” Nicole said, and turned to the others. “You guys can go back to work. You don’t have to stay here with me.”

Nicole felt that she was perfectly fine. Therefore, there was no need for all of them to crowd around just to watch over her.

“Alright then, I’ll send Lulu home first,” Spencer agreed.

With the knowledge that Nicole was fine, they could finally be at ease.

“Sean and I will head back to the company,” Steve added.

Stanley then looked at Jared and said, “I’ll go home then.”

At the end of the day, someone had to inform the people at home. In addition to that, he could also go to pick Nolan and Lana up after school and comfort them.

After a round of discussion, they left the ward and went on their ways, leaving nobody but Nicole and Jared in the ward.

The two exchanged glances, after which Nicole asked, “Did you find out who did it?”

“Max is not back yet,” Jared sat down and held Nicole’s hand gently. “Rest assured, I’ll handle it. You should get some rest.”

Hearing the concern in Jared’s tone, Nicole sighed. “Actually I could have avoided getting hurt. But my skills aren’t as sharp as before.”
