Chapter 240

The doctor led the special forces to come in front of the ward.

He had a very handsome, mixed race face, his expression brightening up at the moment he saw Nicole.

He held up a hand and then lowered it consciously halfway as he walked toward Nicole.

“We are ready.

May I ask where the patient is?” Nicole looked back at the ward.

“He is in there.”

The doctor nodded solemnly.

“Got it.” His Hustuaburgian accent was a little odd as if he seldom spoke the language.

“Go ahead.” Nicole nodded.

The special forces soldiers saw how respectful the doctor was toward Nicole, and they all had a solemn look on their faces.

The leading man gestured with a hand, and they all went into the ward.

Half a minute later, they were carrying Mr. Riddle Sr, who was lying comatose, out of the ward without making a sound.

Nicole was pleased to see that Mr. Riddle Sr.

was undisturbed.

The stretcher was fully unfolded, and all the vital signs-sustaining instruments were readily available.

The scene had drawn a lot of attention.

Almost everyone in the building poked their heads out to rubberneck.

When they saw those frosty-faced special forces, many people were frightened and quickly pulled their heads back in.

The entire floor fell into an eerie silence when people saw how respectful the special forces soldiers were toward Nicole.

Even those from the Riddle fanily looked surprised, not expecting Nicole to get help from the special forces.

A few special forces soldiers from The First Army of Hustuaburg were equivalent to the combat strength of a regiment.

Even Daniel looked at Nicole in disbelief.

“Who are they, Nicole?” he asked.

When Nicole saw the frightened look in their eyes, she realized that the special forces soldiers might have scared them.

She hesitated for a couple of seconds and then said, “They are actors I hire.”

Probably only Gloria and Dillon would believe what she said.

Steve nudged his glasses up the nose.

“Stop fooling us anymore,” he said with a you-got-to-be-kidding-me kind of look.

They could tell if the stripes on the soldiers’ uniforms were military-issued or not, Nicole looked at Steve, who seemed to have seen through everything, and said, “That doctor is my friend.

But I don’t really know who the others are.”

“Your friend?” Everyone was still amazed.

Nicole did not know Mr. Ellison only but also had a friend like this.

Damien had become silent.

Other people were struck dumb and could only pull back their shocked gazes Meanwhile, Dillon believed those people were the actors whom Nicole hired.

So he could not help but taunt her.

“I can’t believe a girl as young as you are playing this charade, which is a shame for the Riddle family.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he received strange glances from everyone, which made him a little confused.

He wondered if he had said something wrong.

Damien looked at Dillon and sighed.

Only Dillon would believe Nicole’s narrative.

Certainly, there was more to Nicole than met the eye.

Thinking of what he had said to Nicole previously, Damien felt a strange sense of remorse.

He was thinking of taunting Nicole earlier, not expecting that she was capable of mobilizing such elite forces.

He glanced at Nicole with a hint of imperative look in his eyes.
