No longer a pushover (Noelle and Cedric) novel Chapter 261

Noelle's eyes flashed with anger. She would make the perpetrator pay. Cedric had nearly died for her. If not for his luck and the fact that the car was modified, he would probably be on the brink of death.

"Noelle, let's discuss this after both of you are recovered. If you want to take revenge on your enemies, you need to be patient. There's no point being in a hurry."

She diverted the topic by asking Alfred, "Can you take me to Cedric?"

She wanted to confirm how severe his wounds were.

"Let me take a look."

Alfred returned in minutes. "Let's go. I'll lead you there. Can you manage?"

"I'm fine."

Noelle headed to Cedric's room with Alfred. Looking at him in the ICU, she teared up. "Didn't you say that he was fine?"

"There isn't anything hugely wrong with him. He's just got a concussion slightly more severe than yours and needs to stay under observation. His family is very concerned for him, so they asked for him to be hospitalized in the ICU."

She stood outside watching him for a while. "I'll visit him after he wakes up."

During the accident, she remembered how Cedric steered the car in the other direction to protect her. If not, she wouldn't be barely wounded while he was in the ICU.

Alfred sighed and said, "Let's go. You should go back and rest. Cedric will probably regain consciousness later today."

Noelle left with Alfred. They ran into Laura on their way back.

Laura stared at Alfred in surprise and exclaimed, "Alfred, you're here! Who's your companion?"

When Noelle saw Laura, she was terrified. The blood drained from her cheeks. When one was down on their luck, misfortune was everywhere.

Alfred cleared his throat and stuttered, "S-she's a friend of mine."

Noelle glanced at the gorgeous woman before her. Their eyes met, but no one spoke. Something felt off.

After the elevator doors closed, Noelle asked, "Who's that?"
