Nora was trying hard to remove the large hand around her neck. Her breathing became slow and her face turned red. She felt very uncomfortable.
She coughed and said, "Let me go."
At this time, she heard a ping sound. Then a black car crashed into the iron gate of the Joneses.
With a loud noise, the iron gate was knocked open, which frightened the servants to scream who were working outside the yard.
Sheldon, who was on the second floor, heard the noise. When he looked up, he saw Derek get off the car. A trace of terror flashed in Sheldon's eyes, which he himself didn't notice. He subconsciously loosened his hand.
Nora could breathe and she pushed Sheldon away hard. However, because of inertia, she fell from the window.
She screamed.
Derek just saw that when he got out of the car. His pupils shrank, feeling that his heart stopped beating. Before he realized what happened, his body responded first and he rushed over.
Fortunately, the window on the second floor was not far from the courtyard below. Derek ran to catch Nora. With the force, he rolled on the grass twice.
Nora had fainted. Looking at her her pale face and bloody body, Derek immediately took off his coat to cover her, with a heavy pain flashing in his eyes.
He suddenly looked up and met Sheldon's eyes. Sheldon, who was by the window of the second floor, hurriedly retreated. He opened the door and rushed out.
Derek wanted to kill Sheldon to vent his anger, but it was too good for Nora. Moreover, Derek was worried about Nora. He took a look at Damian and carried Nora to the car and left.
Damian ordered his men to knock out Sheldon and took him away. He left too.
At the Xaviers's villa.
Nora was lying in bed unconsciously.
"Mr. Xavier, I have treated the bruises of the patient. There are no other serious injuries. Her coma is caused by panic attack. When she wakes up, she will get well after several days' rest."
After sending the doctor out, Damian went back to the room and whispered, "Boss, there's something I need to report."
Derek glanced at him. He knew that under such circumstances if it wasn't an emergency, Damian wouldn't have told him specifically. He looked at Nora and tucked her in. Then he walked out.
"What is it?"
Damian pursed his lips, "Two men in the car which we are tracking during the day are dead. Sheldon goes crazy."
His face suddenly darkened and he looked at Damian, with his brows furrowing, "What's going on?"
"I asked someone to check. They have taken a poison. After research, the poison will kill them twelve hours later. That is to say, they took the poison twelve hours ago."
"According to the surveillance, they probably didn't know they had taken the poison."
"The same story with Sheldon. The reason of his craziness is that there is a toxin, which will destroy cranial nerves, in his body and it will take effect 12 hours later."
Derek looked unhappy. The craziness of Sheldon and the death of the men showed that there was someone behind it.
Of course, he had noticed this before. But he hadn't found out the reason.
Now it seemed that what had happened to Nora was not as simple as he had thought. It felt bad to lose control of something. Derek had not experienced it for a long time.
