But now he carried her so gently. He was approachable.
Nicole's heart pounded again.
Stephen carried Nicole to the hospital. Fortunately, there was a doctor on duty at this hour.
The doctor learned that her leg was injured and told her to sit down. He went to get some iodine, salve, and gauze and had the nurse help her inside to take off her leggings before treating her wound.
Nicole said to Stephen, "Stephen, I'm fine. The doctor will take care of it. Just go and look for Laura."
She was not a vulnerable girl and she knew she was only slightly injured.
Laura was the one in real danger.
She didn't know how Laura was doing.
Hearing that, Stephen looked at the wound on her knee and asked the doctor. After confirming that it was indeed not serious, he nodded.
"Okay, rest here. Don't go back in a hurry. I'll call you."
After that, he remembered that Nicole didn't have his phone number.
He asked her to take out her phone and type in his number.
Nicole saw him type in his number on her phone, dial it, and get through to it before hanging up.
At once, she was both excited and nervous.
Oh my God! What was she doing?
Stephen, her crush, carried her on the back and gave her his phone number!
She must have been dreaming. How could that be true?
However, Stephen didn't know what she was thinking.
He saved his number calmly and returned the phone to her.
Then he said seriously, "Don't leave after your wound has been treated. Wait for my call. If you really want to go back to the hotel, call and have someone pick you up. It's too late. It's not safe for you to go back alone. Laura already had an accident. You must not make things worse, OK?"
Nicole nodded.
She looked obedient.
Stephen looked at her and for some reason, his mood suddenly got better.
He smiled and stroked her head.
After that, both of them froze.
Stephen quickly withdrew his hand and gave an awkward smile.
"Well, I gotta go."
Nicole nodded, "Okay, go ahead."
Then Stephen left.
After he left, Nicole covered her blushing face, squealed inwardly, and bowed her head shyly.
At the same time.
The police arrived.
Stephen met them and told them what happened. They checked the tire marks on the snow and had the same inference as Stephen.
Then they sent a group of people to search for Laura and some others to check the surveillance videos to see if there was a suspicious tricycle around this evening.
Stephen thought of Nicole, who was still in the hospital, and instead of going back with them, he went to the hospital to pick up Nicole and sent her back to the hotel.
Nicole didn't expect him to come back. She planned to either take a cab or call a friend to pick her up.
Unexpectedly, he came back before she had a chance to call.
