My Wife Act Differently Behind Me novel Chapter 1406

"I'm sorry..." Harvey uttered, unable to say anything else.

Nicole then landed a series of punches on his chest. "I asked you to stall him. If you had done your damn job, he would have been fine...!"

As she spoke, her voice choked. Harvey had never seen Nicole in her current state. He had seen valiant Nicole; the Nicole who was always calm, collected, brilliant, and capable of coming up with strategies to deal with any situation, but he had never seen her being so vulnerable and tearful.

At that moment, he became overwhelmed with remorse. He could not help but hug Nicole and allow her to land a flurry of hits on him.

"Hit me. I did not think that things would turn out the way they are. Jared ultimately knew everything. He had people monitoring you at the hospital... He knew that Joyce had brought her men with her to make another attempt on your life, and knowing this, he left in a hurry..." Harvey revealed as Nicole continued to land a few blows on him.

However, the more she knew about the truth, the greater her pain became. As it turned out, she was not wrong; Jared actually knew everything. It was just that he did not burst her bubble as he wanted her to fulfill her plans, opting instead to protect her in secret

It was unknown to her how often Jared had always protected her in secret and helped her out while taking her plans into consideration

Jared had indeed sacrificed much just for her, so much so that he would not be able to pay him back in this lifetime. She closed her eyes, overwhelmed and wounded, before Nicole blacking out and losing consciousness...

"Nicole! Nicole!" Harvey held onto Nicole. Afraid that she would fall over, he grabbed her at once.

Concurrently, Max, who had been busy handling all the paperwork, saw everything that had transpired and immediately rushed over. "Damn it. Send Miss Riddle to the ER. Quick!"

Earlier, he was busy dealing with matters for his employer and actually forgot that Nicole was the person who had plummeted down seven floors. As such, it would be impossible for her to not suffer any injuries at all. He would be damned if he continued to ignore her while she was going through all of this with a few internal injuries.

Harvey and Max quickly wheeled her to the emergency room at the very door. Upon arrival, the doctor began his examination on Nicole immediately while Harvey and Max sat outside the door, waiting.

Time flew by, and before they knew it, night fell, with the air growing chillier with each passing hour. The hospital corridor soon grew quiet and empty. Meanwhile, Nicole, who was struggling in her dreams, was jolted awake all of a sudden.
