Hearing those voices, Nicole frowned slightly. "That sounds like Yvette..."
Kai was doubtful. "Really?"
He then stood up and went outside. When he came back, he brought Yvette, Julie, and Ian with him.
The three of them were all red-eyed. Yvette jumped over as soon as she saw Nicole. "Lil N!"
Julie also wanted to jump at Nicole, but Kai grabbed her clothes to stop her.
"One by one! Don't touch my sister's wounds!"
Julie immediately stopped fighting him. The worry in her eyes was unconcealed.
"You're injured?!"
Nicole patted Yvette's back and looked at Julie with a smile. "I'm fine now, mostly recovered!"
Ian Carter, who was standing on the side, looked so disheveled, thin, and drained. He even had stubble all over his jaw from not having shaved for days.
Seeing that Nicole was fine, Ian kneeled on one knee i n front of Nicole's hospital bed and started to sob.
Yvette, who was also choking back sobs, was speechless.
Julie was too shocked to say anything.
Suddenly, the somewhat sad atmosphere instantly dissipated.
Floyd, who wanted to pretend not to have seen that, helplessly stood up and carried Tigger out of the room.
When Floyd got to the door, he muttered, "Those who don't know are gonna think someone just died..."
Kai was also speechless as he watched Ian crying hysterically without a care for his image. Kai can no longer stand watching this and immediately ran out t o get a breath of fresh air.
Julie finally managed to drag Ian up.
"What are you crying for? Nicole came back safely, so you should be happy!"
Ian cried while tugging at Nicole’s sleeve. "I thought you were dead... Lil N, you really scared the sh*t out of me..."
Yvette sobbed. Everyone was a little emotional, but Ian was the first one who broke down.
