Chapter 2371


    Jared gently brushed her hair aside and whispered, "Let''s take care of your wounds first."


    His heart had been unsettled ever since he went home.


    So, once the children were asleep, he decided to return to the hospital and that was when he was


    immediately met with this scene.He was not concerned about Snow. as this oue was entirely of


    her own making.


    However, Nicole had sustained another injury because of this, with her wound still bleeding, drenching


    the bandage and staining her clothes scarlet.He gently lifted Nicole into his arms and strode out of the


    ward.


    "Clean the room," he said before carrying Nicole to the emergency room so that she could treat her


    wounds.


    As for Nicole, her heart began to calm and settle in his embrace.She rested her head on his shoulder,


    feeling reassured.She knew that Snow would show up eventually, but this encounter had left her


    bamboozled; she had anticipated that Snow would wait for another two days before making a move.


    Still, it seemed that Jared''s arrangements had worked.


    There was no ce for Snow to hide anyway, so she had no choice but to take a desperate risk and


    appear in such sudden fashion.She draped her arm around his neck and looked up at his handsome


    visage, her lips curling into a smile unknowingly.


    With him by her side, she felt surprisingly at ease.


    After a while, once Nicole''s wound had been treated, they returned to the ward she had been assigned


    to.


    The room had been tidied up, and the men in ck had left.


    But Max was still there waiting for them.


    "Mr.and Mrs.Johnston? Snow is still being resuscitated, but things aren''t looking good for her," Max


    reported.


    "Okay." Jared replied, his voice as cold as frost, and his demeanor indifferent.

    Then, Nicole nced at Max and asked, "Any other updates? "The police have been informed, and the


    subsequent procedures are being carried out ording to normal legal processes. The rest is down to


    what happens to Snow now,"


    Max reported truthfully.


    They were waiting for the oue of Snow''s resuscitation.


    If she woke up, everything would be handled in normal fashion.


    If not, there would be nothing left for them to deal with any longer.


    "Go back and get some sleep for now.We''ll wait for the results tomorrow." Nicole said, having


    understood the situation and decided not to press any further.


    At this rate, their next course of action would be determined by whether Snow survived her injuries, or


    sumbed to them.


    If she survived, she would be held responsible for attempted murder.


    If not, nothing else would matter.It would be the end of the line as far as she was concerned.


    "Understood," Max acknowledged and left.


    Jared then turned to Nicole, whose face had turned pale, helping her back onto the bed.


    "Rest up, we''ll see how things go tomorrow."


    Before they could rest, however, a knocking sound emanated from the door.


    This prompted Nicole to frown in confusion.


    "Come in."


    ‘Who would be knocking on the door at this hour?’ she wondered.


    The door opened, revealing Preston, whose presence surprised her.


    "It''ste.What brought you here?"


    "I came because of Snow," Preston admitted.


    "Oh, she''s still being resuscitated,"


    Nicole said, not knowing how to respond to Preston.


    She briefly exined the situation to him and decided not to mention anything else.


    After a slight moment of hesitation, Preston clenched his teeth and said, "I''m actually here to


    apologize."


    "Apologize?"


    Nicole became even more confused now.


    ''Why would Preston want to apologize to me?’
