Even if there was no blond , the sanell of medicine might give her away Nicks offer to say at his place solved her problems perfectly .
Seeing her agree so readily .
Nicolas let out a quiet sigh of relief .
Good .
She hadnt turned me down .
The thought eased some of the tension in his chest Then lets go now , Nicolas said .
So soon ! Noelle blinked , surprised .
Yeah Every time Nicolas thought about the horrifying wounds on Noelles back , his heart ached .
He didnt want her staying in this place a second longer -no proper medical care , no decem environment .
He couldnt stand it .
to make him Hmm... Noelle hesitated , biting her lip .
She glanced at Nicolas and said , But Elis home .
I dont know if hell let me go .
I dont want to m Eli had never liked Nicolas .
If the two of them started arguing , it would be a mess .
After their last cold war , Noelle didnt want to go through that again .
Dont worry .
Nicolas reassured her , leaning down to nuzzle her forehead gently .
His voice was soft and tender .
I wont upset Eli .
Besides , this is where Damons conscience comes into play . Huh ? Noelle furrowed her brow , curiosity flickering .
What does Damon have to do with this she wondered .
But the thought quickly slipped away she was too exhausted to press further .
If Nicolas said it was fine , she trusted him With a soft sigh , she opened her arms and grinned up at him , her expression a mix of exhaustion and playfulness .
Nick , carry me .
I want you in carry me downstairs Wont that hurt your wound ? Nicolas hesitated .
He thought carrying her on his back might be safer , avoiding her injuries .
But Noelle insisted , I want you to hold met Just be careful with the wound , okay ! When his little princess gave an order , Nicolas obeyed .
He chuckled softly , scooping her up effortlessly .
Alright , lets go .
Okay .
Nicolas carried Noelle carefully , making sure to avoid the bullet wound on her left shoulder .
He headed downstairs with her in his arms .
was pacing nervously , his eyes darting toward the staircase .
Whats taking Nicolas so long in Noelles room ! Whats he up to ! Im Downstairs , Eli was par going up there Before he could move , he saw Nicolas coming down the stairs with Noelle in his arms .
The sight made Elis blood boil .
He stormed over , blocking their path .
Nicolas , what the hell are you doing ! Where are you t aking Noelle Nicolas , ever calm , smiled warmly at Eli .
Noelles running a fever .
Im taking her to see a doctor .
Mind stepping aside , Eli ? The way Nicolas said Eli made him llinch , a shiver of discomfort running down his spine .
Disgusted but undeterred , El stood his ground .
Are you out of your mind ? We have doctors here .
Why do you need to take her out ? He leaned in to check on Noelle .
She hadnt looked great when she came home earlier , but after taking some medicine , she shouldve been better .
What he saw shocked him .
Noclles face was flushed , her forehead damp with sweat .
She looked unterly exluausted , curled up in Nicolass arms .
Noeller What the hell happened ? You said it was just a cold ? Elis voice rose in panic .
Noelle winced , burying her lace deeper into Nicolass chest .
Ugh .

Elis jaw dropped .
Im worried about you , and you think Im being noisy he thought .

He kept his polite smile intact .
Eli , Noelles condition seems serious .
Your family doctor might not be enough .

Oh so you think money can buy everything ! Put her down ! Eli snapped .
Nicolas remained silent , still holding Noelle . His gaze flicked toward Damon , who seemed to pick up on the unspoken message Damon sighed and stepped forward , pulling Eli bark .
Eh , stop making a scene .
Nicolas isnt going to hurt Noelle .
Dont waste time Eli stared at Damon in disbelief .
Damon , are you out of your mind ? Youre seriously letting Nicolas take Noelle away ** Damon , usually quick to anger , held back his temper for the sake of not making a scene in front of the outsider .
Besides , Nicolass arrival seemed.
too tirorly , and he likely knew about Noelles injuries .
He was probably just trying to get her treatment as quickly as possible .
Look Damon said with a serious tone , Nicolas says hes already called in the best doctor .
Whats the harm in letting him take forlle no ser hum We have our own doctors , dont we ? Eli was still agitated .
Damon shot him a urcastic look .
Your ductors are different from his , arent they ? They are not Eli was stubborn Damon gave him a cold laugh .
Are they really ? He then turned to their parents , asking Mom , Dad , what do you think ? Vincent and Kimberly , who had accepted Nicolass expensive gifts earlier , felt obliged to side with him .
Plus , they genuinely believed Nicolas a Vincent nodded .
I think its fine for Nicolas to take her Eli was stunned .
What ? Kimberly chimed in , agreeing , Since its the best doctor , itll be better for Noelle .
Eli fare went blank You too ! He quickly turned to Charlie , asking , Charlie , what do you think ? Charlie , who had been quietly watching the exchange , glanced at his two brothers and replied with a neutral tone , I abutain Eli was speechless .
Youre abstaining ? Frustrated , he turned to Leia .
Leia , trapped in his gaze , tensed , unsure how to respond .
But before she could speak , Eli waved las hand dismissively .
Forget it .
Your opinion doesnt matter anyway La could only stare , stunned by his attitude .
What a jerk , she thought , disbelief thick in her chest Chapter 128
