CHAPTER 121Dr. Benneth entered the room and began to examine Brittany. Alicia, who had just finished cleaning herself, entered the room and greeted Dr. Benneth with a nurse named Christine. Alicia put her hands in her pockets when she came face to face with Dr. Benneth and after Dr. Benneth finished with the notes in his hand, he greeted Alicia."Did you just finish your breakfast, Ms. Alicia?"Dr. Benneth accepted Alicia's identity as Brittany's guardian because Brittany's parents were out of the country and would be returning to New York later that evening. Alicia was fine with the paperwork and everything, as long as she could confirm for herself that Brittany was okay.Alicia nodded, agreeing with the doctor's question. "Yes, Doc. How is Brittany doing, by the way?"The man in the white coat muttered under his breath. He looked at Brittany who was also looking at him curiously.Dr. Benneth glanced at Alicia before turning his attention back to Brittany. He adjusted his glasses an

CHAPTER 123Nicholas had just finished parking his car in the hospital parking lot. He looked much better today and the wound on his leg was getting better. While reflecting in the rearview mirror, Nicholas also gelled his hair, making sure that the direction of his hair still looked good and that it made him cool.He got out of the car after grabbing a package of fresh fruits from the passenger seat. All that fruit to cheer Brittany up. Because there's nothing better than hearing the news that your family has woken up from a moment of death. Nicholas then walked towards the hospitalization room that Brittany used. He had a confident look on his face as he walked through the hallways.The hospital was busy in the morning, as they were about to open their outpatient services and various other medical treatments for patients. But Nicholas' focus did not change. He didn't have to limp anymore, his legs were much better. And when he opened the door to Brittany's room, the eager expression

CHAPTER 125"I'm going to go check on Ace's case, but you don't have to worry because I brought a policeman to look after Brittany here," Noel explained.And Brittany nodded in agreement. She looked at everyone and explained, "My parents will also be here later tonight. I think I'll be fine. You guys just focus on finding evidence or anything that can help me get out of this accident."Nicholas nodded. He waved and said goodbye, before taking Alicia away with him. The two of them then drove home in a car driven by Nicholas."This is for you," Nicholas said, handing Alicia a plastic bag of sandwiches. Playing with his eyebrows up and down, Nicholas smiled happily. "I told you that I would buy these sandwiches again, didn't I?""Tsk, gosh, Nic." Alicia accepted the sandwich and they had breakfast together in the car.After finishing the sandwich in less than ten minutes, Nicholas started the engine and drove away from the hospital. Alicia fastened her seatbelt and looked through the car

CHAPTER 127Nicholas tightened his grip on the shard, sweat dripping down his face as he assessed Ace's every move. With quick movements, Ace charged, aiming to strip Nicholas of his weapon, but Nicholas spun around, out of Ace's reach."You're not as smart as you think you are," Nicholas retorted, his voice remaining calm despite the rush of adrenaline.Ace was about to attack again when suddenly the sound of a car roaring outside made him stop. Everyone looked to the source of the sound. And this made Ace change his plans. He ran away and made Nicholas turn around. When Nicholas wanted to chase, Ace kicked the wound on Nicholas' leg accidentally and made the man fall to the floor."Asshole!"A smirk appeared on Ace's lips, he snorted and said, "Our business is not done yet." and he looked at Alicia who was still standing frightened back there. "I'll pick you up soon, Alicia. Don't worry.""Asshole! Where are you going?"But Ace ignored Nicholas' words and ran away from the side door

CHAPTER 129The woman turned her head, squinting in the sunlight. "Yes, that's me. How can I help you?""We're investigating an accident that happened a few days ago," Alicia explained. "We heard you may have seen something unusual."The frown on Mrs. Jenkins' face deepened as she furrowed her brow, thinking hard. "Oh, that dreadful night! I did see something strange, I saw something strange." She paused for a moment, her eyes darting between Nicholas and Alicia, as if debating whether to divulge the information."What did you see, ma'am?" Nicholas urged gently."I saw it," Mrs. Jenkins said in a quiet tone, looking around as if afraid that someone might overhear. "The driver, he was panicking, dragging someone from the passenger seat. Looked injured, poor thing.""Did you recognize any of them?" Alicia pressed, hoping to get an important clue.Mrs. Jenkins shook her head. "No, dear, I don't. But I also saw something else. After he dragged the man out, he seemed... hesitant. It was as
