My Wife Act Differently Behind Me novel Chapter 1405

"A stretcher is needed here too!"

Before Nicole entered the building, she saw that everyone was surrounding Joyce.

Nicole glared in her general direction. Joyce was already lying in a pool of her own blood, unable to speak. Her body convulsed every now and again, but her gaze was fixed on Nicole. Even as she was breathing her last, she was still able to lift her finger and point it at Nicole, for even if she was going to hell, she would want nothing more than to drag her in. However, the moment she lifted her arm, there was a pause.

At the very next moment, her arm fell limp on the ground. Her irises rolled back, and her breathing ceased.

In response, Nicole coldly turned her head around without sparing Joyce another glance. If she died, it would be good news for her, but if she did not, that would mean that she was the one responsible for Jared's current state. As such, Nicole would show her a life worse than death if she could make it out alive.

Jared was quickly wheeled into the operating theater, with Martin rushing in at once.

Seeing that Nicole's knees scraped, his eyes immediately widened. "What just happened? I heard that someone fell off the building? You..."

Nicole gave him glance, indifferent to the injuries she had sustained. "I'm fine. Let me operate on him."

Nicole looked at Jared's X-ray and decided that an operation was imminent, and that she would be the one doing it. Meanwhile, Martin paused for a bit, after which he fixed his eyes on her wounded legs again.

Realizing that it would be unwise and implausible for her to perform the surgery herself, he sternly said, "Your leg requires treatment. How could I let you perform the operation?"

"Just let me perform the surgery for him!" Nicole raised her voice.

She stubbornly looked at Martin, who could see how wet her bloodshot eyes were.

He had never seen Nicole in such a light. Martin could not help but look at her carefully. Then, he discovered that she seemed to be suppressing her pain. Her entire body was shivering, but she was stubbornly holding on, not allowing herself to collapse. Seeing Nicole's vulnerable side for the first time, Martin's heart ached for her.

He did not think that Jared would go all out for Nicole, for Jared was actually courageous enough to catch a person falling from the seventh floor... He darted his eyes at Nicole, and suddenly felt a pang of guilt.

As he did not know if he would catch Nicole at that moment if he was in Jared's stead, he felt that he had lost to Jared this time. He noticed that the usually calm and collected Nicole was nervously looking at the window into the operating room in a trance. Her body was still shivering and curled up into a ball from the cold.

Harvey's heart felt heavy, and he immediately took his coat to drape Nicole with it.

It was only then that noticed that Harvey had shown up.

She immediately furrowed her brows and questioned, "Did I not tell you to stall him?! Why... why is he even anywhere near the hospital?!"

Had Jared not shown up, she would be the one lying in the operating theater, as she was supposed to. She would be the one dealing with the critical injuries, not him.
