Chapter 2878
Gwen did not dare to let her guard down when she heard how solemn Steven was. She said to Nigel, "Hey, I need
your brother’s help with something!"
Talk to me." Even though Nigel was only seven years old, he had mastered the skill of determining other people's
emotions and moods solely based on their tone.
As soon as he heard the change in Gwen's voice, he immediately knew that something was amiss. "He's right next
to me. You can tell us, and well try to help as much as we can."
A surge of warmth spread into Gwen's heart upon hearing this.
She took a deep breath and described everything about Denise to Nigel and Neil. "Can you guys help us find the
hotel she's at as soon as possible?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Done," Neil's response rang out before she even finished her sentence." They’re not too far from you; I'll give you
the address right now."
Gwen was surprised at the efficacy of this, but she quickly gathered herself and thanked them. "Please tell me."
"They're right; she's not far from us at all." Steven furrowed his brow when he heard the address given by Neil. He
stood up, grabbed his coat off the rack, and strode out before he could even finish his sentence. "It's only a five-
minute cab ride from here."
Gwen quickly chased after him, but not before thanking Neil again on the phone.
The hotel Denise was at was not far from their location at all.
When Steven and Gwen arrived, the hotel was already surrounded by cops and ambulances.
Steven sprinted toward the scene like a madman, having caught sight of Denise's silhouette on the stretcher from
far away. "How is she now?"
"We're not too sure either." The paramedic shook his head. "She's still breathing, but just barely. To fall from five
stories in this weather..."
He sighed before adding, "Don't worry-well do our best to save her."
With that, the paramedics brought Denise onto the ambulance.
Steven furrowed his brow and wanted to follow suit, but as he turned his head, he immediately caught sight of Mr.
and Mrs. Hughes standing in the distance, alongside a half-dressed Mr. Hoffman in his pajamas.
Anger coursed through his body at this sight.
Til go with her." Gwen sighed when she saw the look in Steven's eyes and immediately got into the ambulance.
"Please keep your cool."
Steven shot her a glance of gratitude, then nodded. "Please call me if anything happens."
Gwen nodded in return, then closed the door behind her.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSteven watched as the ambulance grew further and further away, then finally rounded a corner and disappeared
from view.
Finally, he lifted his head to glance coldly at Mr. and Mrs. Hughes, then strode in their direction. "When did you
arrive?"
At this moment, Mr. and Mrs. Hughes were in the midst of apologizing to Mr. Hoffman. "We never expected that
something like this would happen...
"We've already abided by the contract to hand her over to you, but what happens after that has nothing to do with
us at all..."
This was the first thing Steven heard when he got near, and a glimmer of malice immediately shot through his
eyes.
Denise had just fallen from a five-storey building and was barely alive, yet neither of their parents seemed to care
about that, and instead were busy trying to patch up their business relationship with Mr. Hoffman!
