His Real Wedded Bride

Chapter 1293 Wanted To Kill Him

"It's none of your business, so you'd better go."

It was clear that Cassie said that on purpose because she wanted Nick to leave for now. After all, he

had many things to deal with in his own company. Meanwhile, she would be responsible for looking

after Jordan because he was hurt by Nick. She could just say something to defend Nick from Jordan

and ask him to not blame Nick for beating him.

However, Nick had completely misunderstood Cassie's good intentions.

His face dimmed. He felt dead inside, but he said nothing. He thought that since the woman he loved

chose to be with another man, it was useless for him to stay with them and pester her.

Nick then felt that just now he had been too impulsive. It was true that it was his fault to punch another

guy when he didn't ask Cassie who she wanted to be with first.

A self-mocking smile lingered on his lips. He laughed for he had overestimated himself and acted

irrationally.

When Cassie heard Nick laugh, she felt that something was wrong with him today as she gazed at his

receding figure, but she couldn't exactly tell.

"Your boyfriend is gone and he seems to be upset. I think you should go and soothe him," Jordan

tugged on Cassie's sleeve and said.

"Never mind. He's always like this, so you don't need to worry about him. Your wound needs to be

treated as soon as possible, so let's go to the hospital right now." Cassie then supported Jordan to get

into the car. After she carefully helped him sit in the passenger seat, she went to the driver's side of the

car as well.

At that moment, she felt as if someone was staring at her from behind. She subconsciously turned

around and looked back.

However, Cassie only saw Nick, who was in his car, looking ahead with an emotionless face. In the

next second, he drove away and was gone like an arrow in the wind.

Cassie stopped looking in disappointment. She didn't get a chance to talk to Nick, so she decided to

find him and make everything clear after work.

She got into the car and drove Jordan to the hospital. After a medical examination, they found that he

wasn't badly hurt and there was only a small bruise. When Cassie patched him up, she suddenly

realized that since Jordan got hurt, Nick must've also gotten injured during the fight.

With that thought in mind, Cassie hastened bandaging up Jordan's wound. She then told him that she

had something urgent to attend to, and left without looking back.

A thoughtful expression painted Jordan's face as he watched Cassie leave quickly.

On the other hand, Cassie continued to walk until she reached a quiet corner, and then she took her

phone out and called Nick. She waited for a while but no one answered her call.

She didn't want to give up calling him, but only the busy tone was heard from the other end.

Her eyes gazed at the street as she wondered if Nick was busy and couldn't answer the phone. After

she thought about it for a moment, Cassie decided to find Nick after work instead and see what was up

with him.

A few hours later when it was time to get off work, Cassie finally got ready to leave. However, she was

suddenly informed that she had to be on duty tonight.

Her job as a nurse required overtime sometimes and that was normal, but she happened to have plans

today. Her mind was filled with Nick, so she was rather upset when she heard that she had to work

some more.

An idea popped into her head. She immediately approached Cora to ask to switch shifts with her today,

only to find that Cora also had to work tonight.

Sadness filled Cassie and she wanted to call Nick again, but someone tugged at her sleeve.

"Well, I'll go and visit my brother later and bring him some food. Do you want to go with me?" Cora

asked.

"Your brother?" Cassie froze in an instant. "Isn't he home yet?"

"Who told you that he was home? He's in the hospital. You're so ungrateful. He was jealous and fought

for you against another guy. How could you just forget him?"

"I thought that he only suffered minor bruising, but why is he in the hospital now?"

Cassie briefly remembered what the doctor said this morning, so she asked out of confusion.

"Well, it was a small bruise, but his stomach suddenly hurt when he was about to leave. It turned out

that he had appendicitis. This couldn't have come at a worse time," Cora sighed. When Cassie heard

this, she thought that his condition had nothing to do with her.

However, she still felt that she should visit Jordan out of courtesy.

Thus before they had to work again, Cassie went to the fruit shop near the hospital with Cora. Cassie

bought some fruits for Jordan.

In the ward

"Thank you for your gifts. It's too nice of you to come here and see me. Cora, Cassie is quite busy and

you shouldn't have bothered her…" Jordan said as he was touched by the gesture.

"Ha-ha, she isn't your wife yet, but you speak for her now. My dear brother, you've abandoned me!"

Cora joked. When Cassie heard that, her heart hammered in her chest and bright pink patches

appeared on her cheeks.

She lowered her head and thought that what Cora said was nonsense.

She felt bashful and pushed Cora's arm with a glare. A playful smile formed on Cora's lips, as she

knew that Cassie was just shy.

However, Jordan also felt slightly embarrassed. He realized that his sister knew that he liked Cassie.

He then thought that it was a good thing, because now he could ask his sister if Cassie had feelings for

him as well.

But at that moment, Cassie was too preoccupied with thoughts of Nick. She had called him several

times, but to no avail. Therefore, she decided to find Nick tomorrow after work and check up on him.

Unease filled Cassie when she thought of Nick's receding figure a while ago. If she didn't figure out

what Nick had been thinking, she might not be able to sleep well.

Now she was too worried about what Nick felt, that she totally forgot what she had learned from Leila.

Meanwhile, at around 8:00 p.m., a low-key but sleek Mercedes-Benz sedan quietly stopped at one

corner of the sketchy road in front of a club. It was parked at the security camera's blind spot, and then

the car door opened to reveal Bernard.

The phone in Bernard's hand vibrated, and it was a message from Rachel. "Are you sure you want to

do this?" the text read.

Bernard thought for a while before texting back a "Yes."

After he sent the text, he looked up and saw Holley from the corner of his eye. His eyes glinted, but his

face remained stoic.

Holley had gotten a special message that afternoon.

She knew that Rachel intended to buy shares from Alan, which proved that Rachel didn't give up easily.

Therefore, Holley employed a private detective who was also a private security personnel, to keep an

eye on Rachel since then and prevent her from damaging Holley's interests.

Today, the private detective told her that he had found a new clue.

As expected, Rachel wasn't done yet and she still wanted to sabotage her. However, what most

surprised Holley was that Rachel had pulled Bernard to her side and made him do everything for her.

She felt that she had underestimated Rachel as she never thought that Rachel had talked Bernard into

betraying her. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

Not long after Holley entered the club, her phone suddenly rang.

"Hello Miss Ye, I've spied on Bernard and I have something new to tell you. I found that he is following

you and I believe that he plans to take action today. But you don't need to worry about it. I'll protect you

tonight."
