Chapter 841
The chief was super polite to Xavier and his crew. After understanding the situation, he asked, “Ms. Lamont, sorry
about all this mess. No wames though, Nicolas and his pals will get what’s coming to them. But this involves your
safety, we gotta give your family a ring
“No, don’t!” Norah immediately said.
Xavier looked at Norah in surprise. It would make sense to let her family know about this.
The chief was in a bit of a pickle. If anything happened to Norah, he couldn’t bear the blamel
Norah quickly said, “Today was just a fluke, and once Nicolas and his crew are arrested, everything will be fine. Plus,
I’m not hurt, so let’s just leave it at that. No need to call my family!”

up, I’ll contact you. And Mr. Flemmings, if anything happens to Ms. Lamont, please let me know ASAP
“Got it!” Xavier responded.
After finishing with the paperwork, Xavier’s group left with Norah, the chief seeing them off personally. He
repeatedly assured them that Nicolas and his crew wouldn’t hurt Norah again. From what he was saying, Nicolas
and Jack were probably not going to see the light of day again.
The police sent a car to take them back to the barbecue joint. As Xavier was getting into the car, he bent over and
was immediately hit by a wave of intense pain His vision went black and he fell backwards. That slash from Jack was
a deep one. Xavier had been holding out for a long time; he was at the end of his rope
Norah’s face went pale, “Mr. Flemmings!”
Damian yelled, “He got a wound on his back, we need to get to a hospital!”
Norah watched as Zachary and Damian scrambled to get Xavier into the car. Her head was buzzing and she quickly
got in as well.
At the hospital, the ER doctor did a preliminary check and said, “The patient’s wound is deep and he’s lost a lot of
blood. We won’t know if anything vital has been hit until we do more checks. Prep him for surgery!”
Zachary grabbed the doctor’s arm, “He isn’t going to die, is he?”
Seeing the knife wound, the doctor thought they were some sort of gangsters, 1 don’t know. If any organs have
been hit, he might not make it.”
“That’s impossible. He can’t die!” Zachary’s face was full of panic.
“We’ll do everything we can to save him, but whether he lives or dies isn’t up to us! The doctor said impatiently.
Damian and the others quickly pulled Zachary back to let the doctor proceed with the surgery on Xavier

Norah blankly watched as Xavier was wheeled into the operating room. Her legs gave way and she fell to the
ground. A policewoman nearby quickly helped her up and sat her down on a chair
Norah looked even more pale than before, her hands shaking non–stop. Xavier had been injured when they were
upstairs, but he didn’t hesitate to jump from the second floor into the river to save her all the while keeping quiet
about his pain.
She should have noticed earlier, then maybe things wouldn’t have gotten so bad. But his black jacket had covered
the blood, and she hadn’t noticed at all. Norah was filled with guilt. If Xavier really died, she would be the culprit,
the one who caused his death!
The surgery lasted for two hours, Norah had never felt time drag so long and painfully.
When the doctor came out of the operating room and said that Xavier was okay, the rock in her chest finally fell to
the ground. She could finally breathe a sigh of relief. Then darkness came. Norah heard the policewoman and
Zachary and the others running towards her, then quickly lost consciousness.
