Written Off as Trash, I Activated My Hidden Queen Mode novel Chapter 454

It was her. It was really her. His Nicole was alive, and that was all that mattered.

"Nicole," he whispered.

"I'm here."

"Nicole..."

"I'm right here, Jasper."

His trembling hand reached out to trace the lines of her face, his tears falling uncontrollably. Nicole felt a wave of helplessness; she had never seen Jasper like this before.

"Nicole, it's really you, isn't it?"

"Of course it's me!"

"I made it," he choked out. "I kept my promise. This isn't a dream, is it?"

Seeing him so battered and broken, Nicole's own tears flowed freely. "Please, let's get you to a doctor."

Instead, Jasper pulled her close by the waist and kissed her with a desperate intensity. Amidst the torrential rain, they clung to each other. He was numb to the pain in his body, consumed only by the knowledge that the woman he loved was in his arms.

Around them, the rainwater on the pavement was stained red with his blood.

Jaron and Amelia arrived at the scene with doctors trailing behind them. At the sight of the two lovers embracing in the downpour, they both broke down in tears.

"Amelia, our Nicole is still here," Jaron choked out.

"I see her," Amelia sobbed. "She's really here."

Under the heavy rain, the four of them pulled into a desperate group hug.

"Why is everyone hurt?" Nicole asked, her heart breaking as her own tears joined the mix of rain and blood.

"Nicole," Jasper whispered.

"Nicole," Jaron said.

"Nicole," Amelia added.

"I'm here, I'm here, I'm right here," she replied, her voice echoing through the storm.

Jasper leaned heavily against her, his body finally giving in to the pain. "Nicole... I feel dizzy." He was terrified that if he closed his eyes, the entire moment would vanish like a dream.

"We have to get you to the hospital right now!" Nicole said, helping him into the car.

Jaron and Amelia had essentially run away from the hospital to get there. They flatly refused to go back with the medical staff, insisting on squeezing into the car with Nicole instead. So, Nicole—the only one with minor injuries—took the wheel, driving the three patients toward the ER.

Jasper was at his limit.

"Jasper?" Nicole called out.

"I'm fine... I'm okay," he murmured. He forced his eyes open, his face covered in blood and grime, but he was smiling.

He was happy. His Nicole was still with him.
