"Let go!" Nichs''s annoyingly handsome face would attract too much attention. I did not want to make a scerie with him at the hospital entrance.


    "Tell me what''s wrong, and I''ll let go!"


    I was getting irritated. He was here for Jasmine, so why was he concerned about me? "It''s none of your business."


    "Fine. Don''t tell me then. I can always check your medical records!" He released my hand and pulled out his phone. He looked ready to follow through on his threat.


    I was at a loss for words, I felt dizzy as looked at Nichs. If I were sick for a normal reason, I would not care if he checked. But if he found out about my injury, Pete would be inevitably dragged into this drama.


    "I''m fine. I''m here to see a friend." Instinctively, I touched my neck while hoping that no bandage was visible.


    Nichs paused. He looked up from his phone and eyed me suspiciously. As his dark eyes scanned me from head to toe, his brows furrowed.


    He noticed my carefully applied makeup and styled hair, and that I was not in my usual professional attire.


    "You''re dressed like this to see a friendte at night," he said coolly. He snorted. "What friend is that? What friends do you have that I don''t know about?"N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive ? material.


    "Mr. Hawk, you should focus more of your energy on those close to you. What you know is all in the past. Ever since I left you, I''ve been making new friends every day."


    Besides, was he not here to see a "friend" too? What right did he have to question me?


    I was incredibly grateful that I was wearing a ck satin gown today. If not, the blood stains would have been obvious and might have scared off any cab driver who picked me up. fir gud one hand e non printed

    "Nichs, I really don''t feel well. It feels like there''s a big hand squeezing my insides. When the pain starts, I''m reminded of that night-"


    Jasmine had not finished speaking when Nichs cut her off, "That''s why I''m taking you home first."


    Jasmine''s eyes reddened with
