Chapter 2371
Jared gently brushed her hair aside and whispered, "Let's take care of your wounds first."
His heart had been unsettled ever since he went home. So, once the children were asleep, he decided to return to the hospital and that was when he was immediately met with this scene.
He was not concerned about Snow, as this outcome was entirely of her own making. However, Nicole had sustained another injury because of this, with her wound still bleeding, drenching the bandage and staining her clothes scarlet.
He gently lifted Nicole into his arms and strode out of the ward.
"Clean the room," he said before carrying Nicole to the emergency room so that she could treat her wounds.
As for Nicole, her heart began to calm and settle in his embrace. She rested her head on his shoulder, feeling reassured. She knew that Snow would show up eventually, but this encounter had left her bamboozled; she had anticipated that Snow would wait for another two days before making a move.
Still, it seemed that Jared's arrangements had worked.
There was no place for Snow to hide anyway, so she had no choice but to take a desperate risk and appear in such sudden fashion.
She draped her arm around his neck and looked up at his handsome visage, her lips curling into a smile unknowingly. With him by her side, she felt surprisingly at ease.
After a while, once Nicole's wound had been treated, they returned to the ward she had been assigned to. The room had been tidied up, and the men in black had left. But Max was still there waiting for them.
"Mr. and Mrs. Johnston? Snow is still being resuscitated, but things aren't looking good for her," Max reported.
"Okay." Jared replied, his voice as cold as frost, and his demeanor indifferent.
Then, Nicole glanced at Max and asked, "Any other updates? rv
"The police have been informed, and the subsequent procedures are being carried out according to normal legal processes. The rest is down to what happens to Snow now," Max reported truthfully.
