Chapter 2583
At that moment, it felt as if her mind was overwhelmed with a fog, rendering it difficult for her to even grasp what had happened. But now, her mind could play each second of that incident in vivid detail, and as clear as day, making it impossible for her to forget.
She bit her lip lightly, after which she gently pushed away Jared's hand from her face. "I'm fine, and we've got to take care of your wound."
Jared looked at Nolan and Lana before saying, "Let's wait until they're in a deeper sleep."
He was worried that the kids might wake up if they put them down now, so he figured it was best for them to wait for a while.
After some time, they checked to make sure that the children were sound asleep before they gently placed them back in bed and covered them with blankets.
Nicole then got up to get the first-aid kit before returning to treat Jared's wound. It was pretty deep, showing how much force Raine had employed in that lunge; indeed, she had truly intended to kill Nolan.
As she tended to his wound, her eyes welled up with tears. It was too close of a call; Nolan was almost met with a terrible fate. Though he was safe now, Jared, on the other hand, had to pay the price.
She lightly traced her fingertips over the corner of her eye as she brushed a drop of tear away.
His voice was gentle as he said, "It's okay. It's all over now. Nolan and Lana will be fine from now on."
"Yeah," Nicole replied softly after a sniffle.
Then, after wrapping a bandage over his wound, she breathed a sigh.
Without a word, he pulled her into an embrace and planted a soft kiss on her cheek. "Close your eyes and get some rest. I'm here with you."
All of a sudden, he heard a series of soft raps on the door. It was obvious that the person who had knocked did not want to wake the others. After exchanging glances with Nicole, Jared got up to open the door.
