My Wife Act Differently Behind Me novel Chapter 2896

Chapter 2896

Soon, a group of bloodied and battered operatives descended from the ridge, carrying with them a bunch of men whose hands and feet were bound with iron leashes. The latter were none other than Damien and his contacts.

"Cap, will they be fine?" someone asked in concern.

"They will be," another replied firmly, though his words sounded as if they were said in an effort to reassure oneself.

It was an accident, one that they could never have anticipated. They, too, were praying that an ill-fate did not await them.

Nicole and Jared soon received the news, causing the air in the office to become even gloomier and more suffocating.

"You can relax a little now that we've captured them. You guys should leave and get on with your day," Nicole said to the others.

"Okay, but you should check on them in the hospital." The others nodded, knowing that there was much to be done without them getting in the way.

"I'm coming with you," Lulu said, standing up.

Nicole turned to Lulu and nodded. After leaving some reminders to the staff members, Nicole, Jared, and Lulu got into the car and made their way to the hospital.

Upon arriving at the hospital, the group of four got out of the car, and that was when Max said, "Mr. Johnston, I'll go check them out."

Knowing that Max would be handling everything for Charlie, Jared nodded and brought Nicole into the hospital building with Lulu in tow.

Max proceeded to visit several of the wards housing groups of bedridden men, and once he was done, he walked out of the building, his eyes gleaming with determination.

Meanwhile, Jared and the others had just arrived at the doorstep of the operating theater. The hallway was unusually quiet and empty, save for Patricia who was standing there alone, motionless and wide eyed as if her soul had been drained. The second the group saw her, their chests began to tighten. There was just something heartbreaking about the way she looked.

Hearing a series of footfalls, Patricia spun around, and the instant she saw Nicole, her eyes instantly welled up with tears.

"Mr. Johnston. Ms. Riddle. It's all my fault," Patricia choked with tears.

Her heart was crumbling in remorse, for Charlie would not have sustained critical injuries if he had not attempted to save her.
