No longer a pushover (Noelle and Cedric) novel Chapter 260

This was Frank's own doing—his well-deserved retribution.

"Frank, why are you coughing up blood?"

Lucas hurriedly helped Frank sit up. "I just saw Donovan leaving with Xenia. What's going on? Donovan said you're insisting on sending Xenia to jail for Noelle!"

"Lucas, do you believe me?"

"Of course I believe you."

Frank recounted everything that had happened at the coffee shop the day before. "That's how it all went down. But with the surveillance footage destroyed, Donovan doesn't believe me."

Lucas found himself torn.

"Frank, it's not that I don't believe you. But if I hadn't seen the footage myself, I'd find it hard to imagine that Xenia could be so manipulative or that she drugged Noelle. It's too much to handle."

"I understand that it's hard to accept. If I hadn't seen the footage with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe it either!"

Frank's face was pale, his chest heavy, as though he couldn't catch his breath. "But don't be so quick to trust anything Xenia says."

Xenia wasn't a good person.

Seeing how anguished Frank was, Lucas swallowed the words he wanted to say.

In the end, he nodded. "Alright, I promise."

In truth, Lucas also had doubts, wondering if there was some misunderstanding between Noelle and Xenia.

However, Frank's condition looked dire.

Frank gripped Lucas' hand, his voice trembling. "Also, try to find out why Noelle took sick leave and which hospital she's staying at. Go visit her for me. Tell her that even if it costs me my life, I'll make sure she gets justice!"

This was his debt to Noelle.

Lucas could only agree. After leaving the hospital room, he immediately tried to locate which hospital Noelle was at.

He wanted to message her but found she had already deleted him from her contacts.

Left with no choice, he called her directly—but her number had blocked him.
