From Heartbreak to Happily Ever After Novel

“The first aid kit is here,” the maid announced, placing the kit in front of Debra.

Erica and Randy rushed in, their faces etched with concern. Erica took one look at the disarray and instantly knew who the so–called ‘robber‘ was.

She offered, “Take my car. The ambulance could take forever to get here.”

“Okay.” Debra nodded, swiftly instructing the security guards to carry Juan into the car.

At the hospital, doctors swiftly began emergency treatment on Juan.

Erica and Debra sat on a bench.

“He’ll pull through. The doctor said the wound wasn’t critical.”

“But excessive blood loss can still be fatal. Where’s Randy?”

Debra rubbed her temples, her voice laced with worry.

“He had something urgent to attend to.”

“He went to find Marion, didn’t he?”

They both knew Marion was behind the attack. His reckless, impulsive actions had left Juan fighting for his life. Though the knife had missed any vital organs, the risk of complications lingered like a dark

shadow.

The doctor emerged from the operating room.

“Who’s the family member? The patient needs to be hospitalized. Please sign here.”

“I am.” Debra stepped forward to sign the form. “When will he regain consciousness?”

“The anesthetic should wear off later tonight,” the doctor replied.

“Okay, I’ll stay with him.”

“Debra.”

Erica was worried, but Debra reassured her, “Let Randy handle Marion. I’ll return once Juan is stable.”

“But…”

Erica knew Marion’s temper well. If he had gone so far as to break into the Nichols family house, it showed how angry he was. This wasn’t something Randy could fix.

“Marion was reckless. He likely left evidence behind. Tell Randy to clean up this mess. If the police get involved, Marion is in serious trouble.”

“I’ll let him know.”

As Juan was wheeled into the private ward, Joe rushed in and saw Debra standing vigil by Juan’s side.

“Madam.”

“Did you see the rubber’s face?”

“No, Madam. It all happened so fast.”

The Nichols family had many enemies, but this was the first time someone had broken into their home.

“Why didn’t you call the police immediately?”

Normally, Joe would have been quick to report it, but the police had not arrived or returned any calls.

Debra hadn’t allowed Erica and Randy to call the police because she suspected Marion was behind it. Yet the Nichols family was clueless.

“Mr. Nichols instructed me not to. I was just following orders.” NôvelDrama.Org owns this.

Joe was confused about the situation.

A knowing smile played at the corners of Debra’s mouth.

“Stay here and guard him. I have matters to attend to.”

“Madam, aren’t you going to stay with Mr. Nichols?”
