Chapter 1561


    The doctor hurriedly performed CPR on Nicole as he tried to force the water out of her lungs.


    Ten, twenty, fifty!


    As time slowly passed, everyone began to lose hope that she would be able to make it out alive.


    Someone in the crowd then said, "It looks like she has drowned."

    "Yeah, she was in the water for a good few minutes...,” another stated.


    Jared starred at the doctor intently, his hands were trembling.


    “No...‘’ he panicked.


    "I cannot lose Nicole! I cannot lose her! Nicole, if you dare die on me, I''ll being with you!”


    They had made a promise, which he would never allow himself to break.


    At this moment, the doctor did a few morepressions in quick session.


    Suddenly, Nicole reacted with a series of coughs, before spitting out a mouthful of water.


    "She''s regained consciousness!" The crowd eximed as the doctor finally heaved a sigh of relief.


    Jared knelt down by Nicole''s side at once. “Nicole!”


    Hearing Jared''s voice, Nicole gradually began to recover from her daze. "Why... are you here...”


    She had only just called him about a few minutes ago, and he had actually rushed all the way here.


    Looking at his sodden clothes, she whispered. "You saved me?"


    Those bodyguards who were secretly protecting her had not dared to jump into the water to save her.


    And yet, Jared had risked his life the way he did, just for her...


    For that she felt a surge of warmth and pain in her heart at the same time.


    ‘‘This man, to put himself in harm''s way for me? What a schmuck,'' she thought.


    "Who else? Am I supposed to stand and watch as my girl die?” he said, before sparing no time to


    order, "Take her to the hospital. I want a full checkup!”


    "Yes, sir.” The doctor and the bodyguards immediatelyplied.


    The doctor lifted Nicole and ced her onto the stretcher as she frowned. "Jared, there’s no need for


    this.”


    She too was a doctor herself. She was fine, having only choked on water.


    "Don''t make me worry.” Jared''s brow furrowed.


    Nicole could only keep quiet as she did not want Jared to worry about her. Thus, she allowed them to


    take her into the ambnce as Jared climbed in too.


    After the doctors had done a preliminary checkup on her, Jared asked, in a low voice, "What


    happened? How did you fall off the bridge?”


    Nicole pondered for a moment, and with a frosty glint in her eyes, she said, "A car was rushing at me,


    probably on purpose.”


    "On purpose?” Jared frowned.


    The Riddle family had held their banquet yesterday and everyone now knew about Nicole''s identity.


    There were so many people protecting her in secret, and yet, there were still people who were ignorant


    and foolish enough toe after her.


    "Were they the goons who had attacked you at Lanningbourg?” Jared asked, having only thought of the


    men who were after the crest.


    However, Nicole shook her head. “If it was them. They would have showed up in bigger numbers.”


    ‘‘Those people had even used aircrafts during ourst encounter. Why would they just be sending a car


    without a license te this time?’ she pondered.


    Jared''s expression turned grim. “It''ll be much easier if it wasn''t them. I''ll get my men to investigate, and


    we''ll get to the bottom of this in no time."


    “Alright.” Nicole said, feeling a lot more rxed.


    With Jared handling the matter for her, she had nothing to worry about.


    Soon, the ambnce arrived at the hospital. Jared watched as she underwent a series of examinations


    before they sent her back to her ward unit.


    Nicole wore a look of helplessness on her face. "I had just fallen into the water, and I''m fine now. I don''t


    need a hospital stay."


    The overbearing love from an overbearing man of status was really suffocating for her.
