Rising From Betrayal Reborn As The Family Outcast novel Chapter 120

Chapter 120

Four hours later, Alicia and Jason arrived at the hospital.

Seeing Jason accompany Alicia, the Hammond brothers felt a mix of emotions.

They hadn’t expected Alicia and Jason to be so close.

Kevin and the other two greeted her, “Ally, you’re here.”

Alicia ignored them and looked at Diana’s assistant, who had come to pick her up. “Where is he?”

The assistant pointed to the hospital room in front of the three brothers. “In this one.”

She walked up and knocked on the door. Diana opened it.

Seeing Alicia, she forced a smile. “Ally, you’re here. Must’ve been tough for you to come so late.”

She stepped aside. “Come in.”

Alicia just nodded to Diana and wheeled Jason into the hospital room.

Seeing Jason show up with Alicia so late, Diana couldn’t help but sigh to herself. ‘Looks like my son doesn’t stand a chance anymore.’

This time, the three Hammond brothers trailed in after them, and Diana didn’t bother to kick them out.

Alicia paused, taken aback as she looked at Nicolas lying on the bed, his face an alarming shade of red-purple, completely out cold.

She walked over, checked his eyes, then felt for his pulse.

Her suspicions were confirmed-Nicolas had been hit with the exact same drug that Jett had used on her in her previous life.

‘Who was it that gave Jett that drug?

Was it that legendary healer who cured Jett, or someone else entirely?’ she mused.

Back in her previous life, Jett hadn’t even tried to cover his tracks-she’d caught on almost instantly.

Now, Alicia couldn’t help but suspect he’d done it deliberately.

‘But in this life, why would he hand that drug over to Nicole, and make Nicolas drink it?’ she thought, confusion swirling in her mind.

Suddenly, Alicia realized a new mystery had just surfaced right in front of her.

And Jett might be the key to figuring it all out.

After Alicia finished checking Nicolas’s pulse, her face grew serious.

Diana couldn’t help but ask, “Ally, how’s Nicolas doing?”

Alicia replied, “Honestly, it’s a good thing he didn’t come into contact with Nicole. Otherwise, he’d be completely done for.

“The drug Nicole gave him is meant to target women.

“If a woman takes it and then sleeps with someone, she’ll never be able to have kids again.

“But if a guy takes it and has sex, he’ll end up sterile, and his health will go downhill fast.

“He’ll be bedridden for life, barely able to move.”

Hearing Alicia’s words, both the Moore couple and the Hammond brothers looked visibly shaken.

Diana quickly asked, “So since Nicolas didn’t sleep with Nicole, does that mean his body won’t be affected?”

Alicia let out a sigh. “No, there’s still some damage.

“At least he won’t be stuck in bed for the rest of his life.

“But honestly, he probably won’t ever be a dad.”

Diana’s face fell. “Is there any cure?”

Alicia shook her head. “No, there’s nothing that can be done. Whoever came up with this stuff really knew what they were doing.

“Once you take it, that’s it-there’s no undoing it.”

Alicia wasn’t making this up-she was telling the truth to Diana and the others.

Whoever came up with this drug was seriously vicious.

From what happened in her last life, it was pretty obvious this whole thing was aimed straight at her.

After all, this stuff was meant to mess up women.

The mastermind behind it wanted Jett to drug her, so she’d never have a shot at being a mom, ever.

But in this life, Jett gave the drug to Nicole, and Nicolas ended up being the victim this time.

‘Who could be so ruthless to target me like this?’ Alicia thought, a chill running through her.

‘Whatever it takes, I’m going to track down whoever did this,’ she vowed, her eyes flashing with resolve.

Caleb blurted out, “So Nicolas can’t ever have a family or kids now?”

Alicia glanced at him. “He can still be with women if he wants-the drug doesn’t affect his ability as a man. He just can’t have kids, that’s all.”

But being unable to have children is what really hits the Moore family hard.

After all, Nicolas was the Moore family’s only heir-the one they’d been grooming since he was little to take over everything.

Even though Nicolas had been acting out and playing around in showbiz these past few years, he’d still been learning how to run the company.

Once he left the entertainment world, he was supposed to take over Moore Group for real.

But now that he can’t have kids, who’s going to carry on the Moore family legacy?

Sure enough, when the Moore couple heard the news, they looked like they’d just been punched in the gut.

Diana was so mad she could’ve ripped Nicole to shreds.

But right now, all she cared about was her son. “Ally, Nicolas looks really bad. Can you help him?”

Alicia nodded. “Yeah, I can help.

“For his situation, a little bloodletting should do the trick.

The drug’s effects are almost gone, but since his system hasn’t had a chance to purge it, it’s all backed up inside, messing him up.”

She whipped out a long needle, grabbed Nicolas’s hand, and pierced each of his fingertips one by one.

Once she’d jabbed all ten fingers, she held a bottle underneath, letting the blood flow in until she’d collected a decent.

amount.

After a short while, the angry red-purple hue on Nicolas’s face faded away, and his breathing evened out.

The monitors showed his vitals slowly returning to normal.

No one in the room could bring themselves to feel happy-the outcome was just too much to handle.

All that was running through the Hammond brothers’ minds was: Nicole had really caused a disaster this time.

Nicolas wasn’t just the Moore family’s only heir-he was the one they doted on the most.

Now that he was left unable to have kids because of Nicole, there’s no way the Moore family will ever let her get away with

this.

Of course, the Hammond family wouldn’t get off easy either-they’d definitely get caught in the crossfire and end up in trouble too, just for being related to Nicole.

Whether or not the Moore couple will actually retaliate against the Hammonds all depends on if they can stay rational about

When they saw Nicolas’s face finally return to normal, the Moore couple let out a sigh of relief.

But they were still fuming inside, unable to calm down no matter what.

Diana couldn’t help but look at Alicia, a flicker of hope in her eyes. “If we find the person who made this drug, is there any chance Nicolas could recover?”

Alicia replied, “If the person who made it left some kind of backup or antidote, there might be a sliver of hope.”

But honestly, hope was slim to none-the moment you took that drug, it started working right away.

She didn’t mention that part, though. At least this way, the Moore family would have something to hold on to and really try to find whoever made the drug.

Honestly, she was dying to know who it was too.

Even though Diana felt a bit more hopeful, she was still really upset inside.

She glanced around the room and asked Kevin, “Where’s Mavis?”

Kevin replied, “She wasn’t feeling well, so she went back to the hotel to rest.”

Of course, he couldn’t exactly say that she was crying so much and looking so pitiful that he found her presence unbearable, so he had her sent back.

Diana’s face darkened. “My son is in this state, and she actually has the nerve to go back to the hotel and rest?

“Tell me the name of the hotel she’s staying at and her room number,” she demanded.

Seeing Diana looking like she was out for blood, Kevin figured she was probably about to storm over to the hotel and give Mavis a piece of her mind.

The brothers had just gotten caught in the crossfire and really didn’t want to take the blame for Mavis.

So he gave her the hotel name and room number.

Sure enough.

Diana thanked Alicia, said a few words to her husband, and then strode out with several bodyguards following behind.

There were loads of paparazzi camped out at the hospital entrance, all lying in wait for some juicy drama.

When Diana-her face like thunder-marched out with her bodyguards and got into her car, a bunch of reporters didn’t hesitate to jump in their own rides and tail her.

Diana found Mavis’s hotel room and knocked on the door.

After Mavis got back to the hotel, she’d been on the phone with her daughter Nicole nonstop.

First, she tore into Nicole, then told her to drop out of the show immediately and go to the hospital tomorrow to apologize to Nicolas.

To really prove she was sorry, Mavis said Nicole should stay at the hospital and look after Nicolas herself.

She was still on the phone when she heard a knock at the door.

Thinking it was Kevin or one of the others, she just opened the door without a second thought.

But before she knew it, Diana shoved her inside, grabbed her by the hair, and started slapping her across the face, left and right.

As Diana slapped her, she yelled, “You taught your daughter to mess with my son, you poisonous snake! You-

Normally, Diana always kept her cool and never got physical.

But right now, she just couldn’t hold back-if she didn’t vent, she’d lose it.

Nicole was out of reach.

So she went for Nicole’s mom instead.

Diana was certain Mavis knew exactly what had happened to her son with that drug.

So when she started swinging, she didn’t pull any punches.

Mavis had always been soft and timid-there was no way she could go up against someone as fierce and no-nonsense as

Diana. She got smacked left and right, bawling and begging for Diana to stop the whole time.

The paparazzi had followed Diana to the hotel, never expecting to witness such drama.

They quickly snapped photos and shared them all over social media.
