Sweet Sorrow

Nicole's mother was lying in the ICU while her brother was trapped.

Nicole had no idea, but only request Austin to help stay outside of the operating room. She went to look for Jim herself.

The old lady was sent to the neighboring hospital. Not far away, Nicole ran all the way there.

As soon as she entered the ward, Nicole saw Jim squatting down in the corner of the wall with his head in his arms, being pointed at by a group of people.

"What are you doing?"

Nicole pushed through the crowd and stood in front of Jim to protect him.

"Nicole, Nicole..." Jim sobbed and raised his head. He hugged Nicole and said, "I didn't do it on purpose. I didn't do it on purpose."

"Since you didn't do it on purpose, does it means that you don't have to be responsible for her anymore? My mother is at an old age now. Can you take the responsibility if anything bad happens to her?"

A middle-aged man said as he got close to Jim, poking Jim's forehead with his index finger.

Hearing the man's words, Jim was scared to step back, tears rolling down his face.

Nicole felt sorry for her brother. She took a deep breath and blocked the middle-aged man.

"I'm sorry. But please calm down first. None of us wants this to happen. Now that it has happened, we should find a solution to solve it. If it is my brother who should take the responsibility, we will definitely take the responsibility."

Her words were very polite, but the man was in a very angry temper.

"What is the if? You little girl, do you know what you're saying? It's his responsibility to take all the blames. How can we blackmail you after so many people saw what happened on the scene? "

"Yes, aren't there any adults in your family? Ask your parents to come and discuss the solution!"

Nicole was so close to the man that she could hear her own tinnitus.

Luckily, at this moment, a nurse appeared.

"Please be quiet. The patient needs rest."

Nicole calmed down for a few seconds, stared at the middle-aged man who seemed to be the most powerful man here, and said lightly, "tell us, what do you want us to do?"

"We've already told him. Pay for it!"
