Chapter 2369
Noticing the worried expressions on their faces, Nicole continued to reassure them, "She might be too afraid to
show up anyway."
After exchanging glances with each other, they ultimately decided to leave. "Well then, we'll go home now and
come back to visit you tomorrow."
Deep down, they all knew that the act of staying was not going to help and might even disrupt Nicole's plan.
"Okay." Nicole smiled and nodded in agreement.
After they had exited the ward, Nicole glanced at the time. She figured that it was almost time for visiting hours to
end. The relatives and friends who had come to pay their visits had already left, leaving only patients and medical
staff in the building.
In a little while, it would be time for nurses to do their rounds. After that, everyone would turn the lights off and go
to sleep. If Snow were to appear, it would probably be during the quiet hours of the night.
Nicole then proceeded to calculate the possible time frame for Snow's appearance and the likelihood of it

Minutes passed, and soon, knocks were heard on the door.
"Rounds."
"Come in."
The nurse's voice emanated from outside the door, and Nicole replied accordingly, allowing the nurse to enter.
Nicole squinted as she stared at the person entering. "Why is this nurse so well-covered, and why does their figure
seem so familiar?'
"Did your shift change?" Nicole deliberately said, noticing that the nurse was trying her best to not reveal her face.
"Yeah," she replied in a muffled voice.
Without saying another word, she wheeled in the cart topped with equipment for routine measurements of blood
pressure.
Nicole shot the nurse another glance and her gaze darkened once again. She then feigned cooperation with the
nurse, doing everything she was expected to, when suddenly, she stuck her arm out to grab and remove the
nurse's mask when the latter least expected it.
"Ah!" The nurse reeled, startled and with her face exposed to Nicole.
As she eyed Snow, Nicole cynically curled her lips. "Just as I suspected."
Nicole felt that something was off as soon as Snow appeared. Besides, Nicole's subtle probes had only heightened
her suspicions.
Snow, who had failed to anticipate that she would be recognized so quickly, then leered at Nicole. "It's me, alright.
Let's see who can save you today."
Then, Snow grabbed a scalpel and lunged at Nicole.
Nicole quickly rolled aside as the blade pierced the mattress, slicing clean through the sheet.
Seeing that her first attack had failed, Snow swung the scalpel at Nicole again, chasing after her like a stark-raving
mad woman. All she desperately wanted to do was stab Nicole.
Since Nicole was still injured, her wounds had reopened as blood began to seep through the bandages.
Meanwhile, Snow was going berserk with her increasingly frenzied and relentless attacks, prompting Nicole to
dodge and sidestep each swipe before pressing the red button on the bed.
Soon, someone barged into the room and tackled Snow to the ground the instant they saw her attacking Nicole.

"I'm fine," Nicole responded calmly.
Seized and pinned down, Snow was rendered immobile.
She understood the situation she was in, and with a murderous glare directed at Nicole, she yelled, "You knew I'd
come, so you had deliberately set a trap!"
It was obvious that these men were all arranged to stand guard and protect Nicole, and this meant that Snow was
in the bin the instant she appeared. Funnily, she thought that
her disguise as a nurse would not go unnoticed by Nicole.
Nicole raised an eyebrow and looked at Snow. "You're right.
I actually found it strange that you didn't show up."
After all, Snow was not the type to swallow her grievances. After being humiliated, she would definitely find a way to
take revenge. However, she had picked the wrong target this time.
Snow's humiliation had nothing to do with Nicole in the first place. And since she was actively seeking Nicole out just
to attack her, Nicole could not simply let it slide.
Realizing that her attempt had failed once again, Snow gritted her teeth and tried to lunge at Nicole again. "You!"
