Chapter: 411
Concerned about being perceived as negligent, the nurse feared Norah might report her.
Before the nurse could attempt to defend her actions, Norah stood up firmly. "Should I return to find my friend in distress once more, trust me, you cannot bear the consequences."
The nurse nodded vigorously, promising, “I understand, ma'am. I'LL ensure the patient receives the best care. You can count on me."
Feeling the weight of Norah's intense gaze, the nurse quickly reassured Norah of her commitment.
After Norah departed from the nurse's station, the nurse exhaled deeply. She marveled at the intensity of Norah's presence, which could evoke fear with mere silence.
As Norah walked away, she thought back to the man who had whistled at her by the hospital's entrance, recognizing him from the surveillance footage. Her gaze hardened as she considered the possibility that the men who attacked Alice might still be lurking nearby. What or who were their real targets?
With Alice's well-being now assured by the nurse, Norah's new focus was on tracking down these four men to avenge her friend. A fierce determination ignited within her.
Meanwhile, Jack's men loitered at the hospital entrance, discussing their next move with a keen eye on the entrance.
“Jack is a lucky man, He's definitely gonna get laid with that stunning woman. That woman seems weak. Shouldn't be a problem dragging her away."
"Right. Jack said he'd bring in more guys to get revenge for Jimena.
Nah! We have already shown the woman in the hospital bed who's boss.
It was all too easy."
"I gotta say, that woman in the hospital bed wasn't bad looking.
Thought about taking a turn myself, but all that blood turned my stomach."
“Exactly, but it's that dazzling beauty I'm after. Wonder if Jack will let us have a go once he's done. Remember the fun we all had with Jimena after Jimena and Jack broke up?"
“Jimena always needed to be the center of attention. She couldn't stand being ignored. I'm sure she'd settle for any man."
"You're absolutely correct!" said one of them while Laughing.
"Quiet down. The pretty woman is coming out."
Their laughter ceased as they focused on Norah approaching, their attention sharp as if guided by precision tracking. To them, Norah appeared ethereal, an angelic presence amidst the mundane.
"Just look at that beautiful woman!" Unable to hold back, one of them whistled in Norah's direction.
The initial whistle sparked a chain reaction, with crude calls piercing the air.
“Let's present her to Jack. Maybe we'll get a reward," one mused with anticipation.
"She's heading our way, boys. Time to make our move."
Among the group at the corner, four had been the assailants in Alice's ward.
