Chapter 1272 Unsuccessful Rescue

The research center building, once echoing with joyful conversations, now stood in silence as the two figures

remained motionless.

"Alright, Chloe. Try not to dwell on it too much. It's great that we have finally contacted Mr. Lloyd. I believe our

future will gradually become better." Roxanna sniffled, determined to avoid any embarrassing displays of emotion.

"We must stay optimistic. Once Nicole recovers, maybe she and Colton will reconcile!"

Despite her best efforts to uplift their spirits, their emotions remained unaltered, impervious to her words. After all,

they both knew Nicole's personality. If she severed their relationship, she would not reconcile with the other, let

alone it was she who had initiated the divorce.

Then, Chloe offered a comforting pat on Roxanna's shoulder before walking toward Nicole's door. Their long-

standing bond meant words were often unnecessary because a simple gesture or glance was enough to convey

their thoughts.

After dabbing her tears away, Roxanna followed Chloe with newfound resolve. She needed to stay strong, for

Nicole's sake.

Chloe rapped gently on Nicole's door and turned to offer a reassuring smile to Roxanna before slowly pushing the

door open.

In the meantime, the window had been left ajar, allowing the night breeze to brush against Nicole's pale cheeks.

Her eyes were tightly shut, indicating that she was in a deep slumber.

After seeing this, Roxanna was prepared to lead Chloe out of the room when a sudden fit of coughing from behind

them caught their attention.

Suddenly, Nicole jolted awake as she sat upright in bed, gasping for breath as a harsh cough wracked her body. She

winced in pain, and her features contorted in agony. She had been peacefully asleep moments ago, but an intense

ache seized her. It felt as though her heart had been slashed open, blood spewing forth and corroding her insides,

causing the pain to radiate throughout her body and making each breath a struggle.

"Nicole! Nicole!"

At this instant, Nicole closed her eyes as her consciousness dimmed, faintly registering someone calling out to her.

A sudden chill enveloped her, the sensation of icy coldness spreading from her heart. The darkness around her

seemed all-encompassing, and even the voices that had been calling her name moments ago were now distant

echoes. She curled into a ball on the floor, clutching her legs tightly, her eyes welling up with tears of

disappointment and despair. Where am I? Have I been abandoned, or am I dead?

In the grip of such thoughts, shivers overtook her. While she foresaw this outcome, confronting it still ignited

unending fear. The void beckoned, and her breath grew shallow—a sensation she vehemently wished to avoid.

Someone, please save me… She fought to suppress her tears, biting her lip to no avail. Then, teardrops, like beads,

traced their path down her cheeks.



"Nicole!" Chloe's scream echoed through the air, carrying her desperation, but amid the chaos, Nicole's

consciousness was slipping away, her life hanging by a thread. "Quick! To the emergency room!" Her tears flowed

unnoticed as her anxiety overwhelmed her. You can't leave now. Mr. Lloyd is about to arrive. No… You can't leave us

now!

With determination, Roxanna swept Nicole onto her back, her steps hurried and frantic as she sprinted toward the

emergency room. Each gasping breath was a plea, a fervent call to Nicole's fading awareness. "Nicole! Nicole, stay

with us. Mr. Lloyd is coming tomorrow. You have to hold on!" She tried to use such a method to keep Nicole

conscious proved futile, though. Fortunately, the emergency room was nearby, and she quickly placed Nicole on the

bed.

The two swiftly changed into their surgical gowns and pushed Nicole into the operating theater, wasting no time

commencing the surgery. Their determination to save Nicole remained unyielding, refusing to falter as long as a

chance at survival existed.

Amidst the shroud of darkness, Nicole sensed a gentle touch and faintly caught the sound of Roxanna and Chloe's

anguished cries. Nicole desperately wished to convey her presence to them, but no matter how vehemently she

shouted from within the abyss, her pleas remained unanswered.
