Chapter 280

Jimmy lay on the ground and finally figured out what had just happened. He sprung up and felt his heart that was beating once more. He looked glad to have survived. ‘I really thought I was as good as dead when I had a cardiac arrest just now. Thankfully, she saved me!’ he thought.

He watched Nicole’s slender and tall figure with a perplexed expression. Jimmy was a huge fan of Snow Riddle. When the news of Snow Riddle being bullied by Nicole surfaced on the forum, he was outraged and indignant. Not only did he continuously smear her reputation online, but he also flung a heavy stone at Nicole’s house one night. He was even a little displeased when Nicole flexibly dodged it. ‘I was so close; how did she get so lucky?’ he thought at the time. However, now that he was feeling his alive and beating heart, cold sweat poured down his forehead.

SSC ‘Nicole isn’t the lucky one. I am! I almost killed my savior!’he thought. Jimmy paled further at the thought of this. He felt his heart constricting once more and almost fainted again.

Nicole noticed his discomfort. With a solemn expression, she retrieved a small white tablet from her pocket. Then, she broke it in half, walked up to Jimmy, and stuffed half of it into his mouth.

After that, she shouted at the people who came with Jimmy.

“Water!”

They quickly turned around and handed Nicole the water in front of Jimmy. Nicole had a blank expression. After taking the bottle, she grabbed Jimmy by his jaw and poured water into his mouth.

After Jimmy had swallowed the drug, it took effect very quickly. He took a deep breath before turning to look at Nicole with a troubled look in his eyes. However, he realized that at the end of the day, what she did for him was far greater than his ego. He lowered his head and bowed deeply at Nicole. “Thank you for saving me, Nicole.” Jimmy thanked her but did not get up. He gritted his teeth and continued speaking. “One more thing, I was the one who threw that stone previously.” “I’m so sorry!” ‘I must have been blind. How could Nicole, someone who saved a person she did not know, bully the gentle-looking Snow Riddle? Plus, there was only one photo. I didn’t even get to see what happened before and after.

Why was I stupid enough to be manipulated by these people?’ Jimmy revealed a pained expression at the thought of this. After his near-death experience, he felt as though he had flipped on a switch.

Everything that confused him was as clear as day to him now.

Nicole looked at his genuinely regretful expression. She, on the other hand, was not bothered, ‘I was about to forget the incident from that day if he didn’t bring it up,’ she thought.

She merely patted his shoulder after hearing his words. Considering how he had a near-death experience, her tone actually sounded a little gentle.

“It’s alright. I forgive you.”

Jimmy initially thought that Nicole was a difficult person and that a storm would be awaiting him. He never expected to be forgiven this easily.

Her forgiveness made him want to cry.

‘This is what true gentleness looks like,’ he thought.

He started to choke up a little and sounded like he was traumatized.

“I almost killed you, I…”

‘I’m a sinner,’ he thought. Nicole sighed helplessly as she watched him. Her voice sounded far away but close at the same time, “I told you, it’s alright.”

She did not care about what happened. After all, he did not have what it took to actually harm her.

‘Since he has apologized, it’s fine.’ she thought.
