Chapter 2372
Preston took a deep breath before he said, "Nicole, I know that Snow was in the wrong. I'll apologize to you on her behalf."
Then, he gave her a bow to express his sincerity.
"No need forthat, really. She's still in a critical situation right now. There's no need to apologize. Besides, it's not your fault anyway. You don't have to do this," Nicole replied.
Although she did not remember everything, she knew that Preston was different from the other members of Dillion's family. He was the only one who had shown her any semblance of kindness.
"I'm aware of what happened. She orchestrated an accident and injured you before, yet she's now repeating her mistakes without any hint of remorse. Now, she's suffering the consequences she brought upon herself. She can't blame anyone else," Preston grumbled, feeling that Snow's actions this time were truly outrageous.
"Let's not talk about Snow anymore. If you have come to visit me, I must say that I welcome and appreciate that. There's no need to mention something that has already happened. It's only going to affect our mood today. Let's talk about something cheerful instead." Nicole replied, not wanting Preston to feel guilty and attempted to change the subject.
However, the look on Preston's face became even more solemn. "I'll come to visit you tomorrow, out of my concern for you. But for now, I need to go."
"To the operating theater," Nicole said, understanding Preston's intention.
"Yes. No one in the family wanted to come here because of her foolish actions. However, a family member is still needed for the procedures, so I came," Preston explained.
"Alright then. Go ahead and do what you have to do," Nicole nodded.
Preston swept his glance at Nicole, then at Jared before turning around to leave.
"How heartless of them," Nicole sighed, unable to believe that no one in Dillon's family was willing to come.
She understood that Dillon and the others were trying to prove a point by distancing themselves from Snow. They were probably even afraid that Jared would make them his next target of retribution.
Then, she looked at Jared and furrowed her brows. "Do you think that Uncle Dillon and the others would have shown up if you weren't in the picture?"
