Chapter 2583


    At that moment, it felt as if her mind was overwhelmed with a fog, rendering it difficult for her to even


    grasp what had


    happened. But now, her mind could y each second of that incident in vivid detail, and as clear as


    day, making it


    impossible for her to forget.

    She bit her lip lightly, after which she gently pushed away Jared’s hand from her face. “I’m fine, and


    we’ve got to take care


    of your wound.”


    Jared looked at Nn and Lana before saying, “Let’s wait until they’re in a deeper sleep.”


    He was worried that the kids might wake up if they put them down now, so he figured it was best for


    them to wait for a


    while.


    After some time, they checked to make sure that the children were sound asleep before they gently


    ced them back in


    bed and covered them with nkets.


    Nicole then got up to get the first-aid kit before returning to treat Jared’s wound. It was pretty deep,


    showing how much


    force Raine had employed in that lunge; indeed, she had truly intended to kill Nn.


    As she tended to his wound, her eyes welled up with tears. It was too close of a call; Nn was almost


    met with a terrible


    fate. Though he was safe now, Jared, on the other hand, had to pay the price.


    She lightly traced her fingertips over the corner of her eye as she brushed a drop of tear away.


    His voice was gentle as he said, “It’s okay. It’s all over now. Nn and Lana will be fine from now on.”


    “Yeah,” Nicole replied softly after a sniffle.


    Then, after wrapping a bandage over his wound, she breathed a sigh.


    Without a word, he pulled her into an embrace and nted a soft kiss on her cheek. “Close your eyes


    and get some rest.


    I’m here with you.”


    All of a sudden, he heard a series of soft raps on the door. It was obvious that the person who had


    knocked did not want


    to wake the others. After exchanging nces with Nicole, Jared got up to open the door.


    “Mr. Johnston, we’ve got updates on Miss Raine,” the butler whispered.


    Since Nicole was still awake, she had also heard the butler, and proceeded to approach the door.


    “What’s the news?”


    In response, the butler answered, “Mr. Riddle Sr. requests your presence downstairs.”


    Nicole nced back at Nn and Lana, who were still sound asleep. She then followed Jared


    downstairs.


    Dillion and Karen had returned, the expressions on their faces indicating that they had received bad


    news.


    “Go ahead,” Mr. Riddle Sr. said coldly.


    “Raine’s injury is fatal. The doctors have dered her dead,” Dillion said, his tone carryingplex


    emotions.


    Though Raine had screwed up, her actions would not bring her parents any trouble anymore. Still, she


    was their daughter,


    and her death still weighed heavily on them.


    “What about the police?” Mr. Riddle Sr. inquired, turning to Sean.


    “There’s no news from the police yet, but Mr. Johnston should be fine,” Sean asserted confidently.


    After all, Raine was the one who had initiated the kidnapping, and Jared had only intervened to save


    his son’s life. He did


    not intend to kill anyone. Moreover, they could all remember that Jared had merely kicked Raine, and it


    was her own


    momentum that had sent her toward the railing, which then caused her to lose her bnce and


    plummet from the second


    floor.


    “We’ll also file a report with the police. Mr. Johnston didn’t intend to harm anyone. This was an


    ident,” Dillion quickly


    stated.


    Given the circumstances, they could not me Jared.


    “Wait for the updates from the police. You take care of this,” Mr. Riddle Sr. said to Dillion and Karen.
