Chapter 128 Chapter 128 Eli found himself outnumbered .
He glanced around the room , his lips curling into a bitter smile .
Well , three votes for , ofte against , and one aberration .
Bless my opinion doesnt matter , huh ? Nicolas , victorious , smiled gracefully .
So.
Thi , can I take Noelle now !! Elishor a cold look at Nicolas Nicolas ignored the childish antics and turned in Vincent and Kimberly with a polite smile Mr.
and Mrs.
Anderson , Ell take Noelle now ? Vuvent nodded .
Go ahead .
Dont delay her treatment .
Kimberly stepped closer to her daughter , gently to hing Noelles forehead .
The heat radiating from her skin maile Kimberlys worry deepen .
She looked up at Nicolas and added .
Nicolas , make sure she doesnt catch a chill on the way .
And keep a damp cloth on her forehead to cool her dosen .
Thank you .
Take good ca You have my wond care of her Aber saying their goodbyes , Nicolas carried Noelle out of the Anderson house and quickly drove to his private residence His residence was a small duples , normally only occupied by Nicolas , and a housekeeper came by to clean every so housekeeper had already left y so often .
But since it was late , the Nicolas instructed his secretary , Bryan , to prepare all the necessary medical supplies .
He was about to call a doctor when Noelle , still feverish and half conscious , stopped him.
Nick , no doctors Dont worry .
My people are discreet .
They wont say a word .
Nicolas tried to reassure her . But Noelle stubbornly shook her head .
No need .
Im a pretty good doctor myself .
I know whats going on with me .
Nicolas , just get me a few meds .
She lived off a few medications .
Nicolas frowned , still uneasy , Elly babe , are you sure just these meds will be enough ! Yep .
Noelle was lying limp on the bed , eyelids barely lifting as she looked at him .
The medicine is just to help a little .
My body heals fast .
I just need Test Hearing this , Nicolas finally relented .
Alright .
Ill get the meds .
You try to rest With , that , he turned to leave .
But before he could even take a step , Noelle grabbed the hem of his shirt .
What is it ? he asked , turning around .
Norlies round eyes were half lidded .
She looked at him , her voice soft , Nicolas will you stay with me tonight ? I just want you by my side .
Her weak , dependent expression melted his heart .
His eyes softened as he bent down , gently ruffling her hair .
Of course , sweetheart .
11l stay with you .
Let me just get your meds first , okay ? Okay Only then dal she release him , her eyes fluttering as she added , Come back quick , Promise .
Nicolas said , giving her a smile .
He couldnt help but think how clingy she was when she wasnt feeling well she was already a naturally affectionate person , but when she was hurt , die seemed even needier .
Niculas returned with the medication she requested oral and topical , After administering everything , Noelle flopped back onto the bed , raluusted , though her small hand still clung tightly to his .
It was as if holding onto him was the only way she could feel safe .
Nicolas sat on the edge of the bed , quietly watching her sleep , That night , Noelle didnt sleep peacefully .
Her injuries were severe .
Even surgery would take hours to treat such wounds , but she refused to go to 1/2 7.25 AM Chapter 128 the hospital or accept medical help , choosing to rough it out on her own .
As she put it , shed always handled injuries this way before , even worse ones , and still pulled through But even someone as strong as her couldnt avoid suffering during the recovery .
After all , she was still only human .
Her fever raged all night , and she felt like a little furnace .
Despite her small frame , when she curled up , she seemed even smaller .
Nicolas watched her closely , Suddenly , he remembered reading somewhere that people with extreme insecurities often curled up into a ball while they slept He didnt know what Noelle had been through , bus he could imagine.
She had probably been through so much pain and hardship alone , always forcing herself to carry the burden without anyone to rely on Elly babe , its okay .
Im here .
You dont have to be scared .
Nicolas bent down and whispered softly in her ear , trying to comfort her .
She remained unconscious , but from the way she clenched her teeth and made faint hissing sounds , he could tell how much p pain she was in Just watching her made his heart ache .
She had insisted she wasnt in pain , probably trying to appear strong for his sake .
But now , it was clear .
Such a little liar .
Nicolas thought , a mix of tenderness and frustration swirling inside him .
Nicolas lay next to her , humming a soft tune .
Whether the song had any effect , or if Noelle simply found comfort from his presence , by the time the early morning hours came , her face had relaxed , and the pain seemed to ease .
All night long .
Nicolas had been wiping her forehead and cooling her down . By the time the sky began to lighten , Noelles fever finally broke She was still asleep .
Nicolas gently lifted the hem of her shirt to check her wounds .
Miraculously , the injuries from yesterday , once raw and bloody , had scabbed over.
The inflammation had subsided , and her skin , except around the wound , had returned to its original smoothness .
Noelle lay quietly , breathing evenly , not the frantic breaths from last night but calm and steady .
She was healing fast .
Nicolas was astonished .
Earlier .
Noelle had claimed that shed recover completely in a week , without leaving a scar .
At the time , he thought she was either exaggerating or just trying to avoid worrying him .
But looking at her now , recovering at this speed maybe , just maybe , she would be fully healed before the week was up It was incredible .
Such healing power was beyond what any normal human could possess .
Nicolas had known for a while that Noelle wasnt an ordinary person .
Her reflexes , speed , strength , and learning ability were all top tier .
She was , in many ways , the pinnacle of human potential .
But even then he hadnt considered the full picture .
Someone like her so o powerful couldnt have been born naturally .
Nicolas knew that secret organizations existed , conducting experiments to create enhanced humans .
Noelle seemed like the type theyd be striving for perfect , beyond the average human But if that were true , he couldnt understand why she had been released .
If she had been a subject of such an organization , she would have been a precious asser .
Why let her go ? What purpose would it serve ? According to Nicolass investigation , Noelle had shown up at an orphanage when she was just ten years old .
This meant that for the last eight years .
she had been living freely .
If she really was the product of some secret program , why would they let her go ? What could their reasoning possibly be ?
Nicolas wondered , his mind marine with muestiona AD
