Chapter 358 I Won’t Let You Be Wronged
Everyone was silent. Almost the entire country knew about White’s incident back then. He was originally a doctor who saved lives and healed wounds, but turned into a street rat which was spurned by everyone because of a backlash by his family.
His whole life had been noble, yet it was destroyed at the end.
Although someone came out to clarify the ridiculous incident in the end, White had already passed away at that time and no amount of repentance could help.
Closing her eyes, Nicole hid the sadness in them and she continued after a short pause, “Old Mr. Benedict is in a critical condition, and my mother owed him a favor from back then. So, I would like to treat him using my personal identity, but someone with ulterior motives framed me.”
After the words left her lips, almost all conflicts were pointed at Queenie.
“Miss Nicole, it was your younger sister who apologized on your behalf to the Gardner Family earlier. Did you know about this beforehand?”
“Yeah, so you mean to say that the person with ulterior motives was Miss Queenie?”
A dumbstruck Queenie swayed and almost fell over at the side. Her vision turned black and if it wasn’t for someone holding her steady next to her, she would have stumbled to the floor.
Immediately, she wore an overjoyed expression and wanted to approach Nicole to get close to her, but without any mercy, Nicole immediately denied her relationship with Queenie in front of the media.
“My father has already severed all ties with me and Queenie is my half-sister. So, we’re unrelated to each other.” Fixing her eyes on Queenie in the distance, Nicole grinned and added, “We’re not related to each other, so she can’t represent me in any way.”
Blood had completely drained from Queenie’s face by this point; Nicole’s statement was saying that she was the one who wanted to cling on to Nicole and be related to her.
“Miss Nicole, if you don’t mind me asking, as White’s student, what is the reason for your master’s last words to you not to practice medicine anymore?”
Nicole swallowed the knot in her throat and responded, “At that time, my master suffered an injustice, and he was worried that it would bring me harm if I continued to practice medicine as his student. Hence, after his passing, I stopped practicing as well.” Changing her tone, she swept her eyes past the people below the stage and acknowledged, “My master’s intention wasn’t asking me to abandon a dying person; he was just afraid that I’ll be in harm’s way, but after so many years, I’ve already accepted this.”
Her clarification caused everyone’s eyes to turn red. Back then, the incident caused such a huge commotion—a genius doctor passing away amidst the suspicions!
When Colton arrived, he happened to hear Nicole speaking. Although he knew that the woman in front of him was strong, he hadn’t heard her mention any of this before. As it turned out, there were these twists and turns in this story.
Then, the bodyguards came up and surrounded Nicole to protect her. As the place was close to the police station and there were so many journalists present, she had barely made it that far away from the police station when she was surrounded by people.
Catching sight of Colton who was in the distance, Nicole gave him a smile and then glanced at the people around.
“I’m sorry, but I won’t say more today. Old Mr. Benedict is still waiting for me, and it’s a matter of life and death. Once this surgery is over, I’ll accept your interviews,” she explained and left the crowd under the protection of the bodyguards.
Colton had prepared the car a long time ago, and the moment Nicole arrived the car and hopped in, the driver stepped on the gas pedal and dashed off.
“You’ve been wronged for what happened today,” he muttered softly, watching her as she closed her eyes to rest.
Hearing Colton’s voice, she opened her eyes slowly and turned to glance at him before looking away. “This is definitely not Olivia’s idea alone. Queenie must have had a part in it as well.”
After she sneered, Colton raised his eyes slightly, and because he knew she was a little disgruntled, he comforted, “I’ll help you get even and won’t let you suffer this injustice in vain.”
