    The chief was super polite to Xavier and his crew. After understanding the situation, he asked, “Ms.


    Lamont, sorry about all this mess. No wames though, Nics and his pals will get what’sing to


    them. But this involves your safety, we gotta give your family a ring


    “No, don’t!” Norah immediately said.


    Xavier looked at Norah in surprise. It would make sense to let her family know about this.


    The chief was in a bit of a pickle. If anything happened to Norah, he couldn’t bear the mel


    Norah quickly said, “Today was just a fluke, and once Nics and his crew are arrested, everything will


    be fine. Plus, I’m not hurt, so let’s just leave it at that. No need to call my family!”


    Seeing this, the chief had no choice but to go along with Norah. He turned to Xavier and said, “If


    anythinges up, I’ll contact you. And Mr. Flemmings, if anything happens to Ms. Lamont, please let


    me know ASAP


    “Got it!” Xavier responded.


    After finishing with the paperwork, Xavier’s group left with Norah, the chief seeing them off personally.


    He repeatedly assured them that Nics and his crew wouldn’t hurt Norah again. From what he was


    saying, Nics and Jack were probably not going to see the light of day again.


    The police sent a car to take them back to the barbecue joint. As Xavier was getting into the car, he


    bent over and was immediately hit by a wave of intense pain His vision went ck and he fell


    backwards. That sh from Jack was a deep one. Xavier had been holding out for a long time; he was


    at the end of his rope


    Norah’s face went pale, “Mr. Flemmings!”


    Belonging to N?velDrama.Org.


    Damian yelled, “He got a wound on his back, we need to get to a hospital!”


    Norah watched as Zachary and Damian scrambled to get Xavier into the car. Her head was buzzing


    and she quickly got in as well.


    At the hospital, the ER doctor did a preliminary check and said, “The patient’s wound is deep and he’s


    lost a lot of blood. We won’t know if anything vital has been hit until we do more checks. Prep him for


    surgery!”


    Zachary grabbed the doctor’s arm, “He isn’t going to die, is he?”


    Seeing the knife wound, the doctor thought they were some sort of gangsters, 1 don’t know. If any


    organs have been hit, he might not make it.”


    “That’s impossible. He can’t die!” Zachary’s face was full of panic.


    “We’ll do everything we can to save him, but whether he lives or dies isn’t up to us! The doctor said


    impatiently.


    Damian and the others quickly pulled Zachary back to let the doctor proceed with the surgery on Xavier


    Norah nkly watched as Xavier was wheeled into the operating room. Her legs gave way and she fell


    to the ground. A policewoman nearby quickly helped her up and sat her down on a chair


    Norah looked even more pale than before, her hands shaking non–stop. Xavier had been injured when


    they were upstairs, but he didn’t hesitate to jump from the second floor into the river to save her all the


    while keeping quiet about his pain.


    She should have noticed earlier, then maybe things wouldn’t have gotten so bad. But his ck jacket


    had covered the blood, and she hadn’t noticed at all. Norah was filled with guilt. If Xavier really died,


    she would be the culprit, the one who caused his death!


    The surgerysted for two hours, Norah had never felt time drag so long and painfully.


    When the doctor came out of the operating room and said that Xavier was okay, the rock in her chest


    finally fell to the ground. She could finally breathe a sigh of relief. Then darkness came. Norah heard


    the policewoman and Zachary and the others running towards her, then quickly lost consciousness.
