The Kiss that Sparked it All (Ellinor and Theo) novel Chapter 2823

"Is everyone alright in there?" Nolan's voice was hoarse with concern.

The two staff members who had been standing guard exchanged a frightened glance. "A guy just claimed to be the boyfriend of the guest staying here, so we let him in. We don't really know if the person inside is someone you're familiar with!"

Nolan's heart skipped a beat. "Open the door, now!"

"Oh? Right, sure!"

One of the staff, carrying a master key card for the entire hotel, swung the door open.

In that moment, Nolan had a sudden thought. He motioned for the other employees to step back, ensuring that no one would witness the scene inside. Only then did he enter.

His heart was in his throat as he stepped inside, but it dropped at the sight before him. A skinny man lay on the floor, clutching his stomach.

And there was Regina, gripping a shard of broken glass, blood streaming from her palm. Thankfully, Nolan had arrived in time.

He rushed over, draping a cotton blanket around Regina's shoulders and carefully taking hold of her wrist.

Regina, groggy and disoriented, flinched at the touch. She struggled weakly, tears slipping helplessly from the corners of her eyes.

"It's me, Nolan. Don't be afraid. You're safe now."

The familiarity of his voice calmed her, and her grip loosened as she recognized him, someone she could trust.

Nolan looked at the injured Regina with a heart full of pain, dreading to think what might have happened if he had arrived even a moment later.
