Chapter 40 (Part One)
The doctor's expression was still very serious, and his forehead was covered with sweat, as if he was really tired. He took off his mask and sighed. Then he smiled and said to Nicole with a relaxed expression, "Have save him back."
He is saved!
That sentence was like a spring flower blooming. Nicole had never experienced the kind of excitement and exhaustion of resurrection from death. All her hopes were about to be destroyed but miraculously revived.
Fortunately, he was saved. Her history did not repeat. At least at this moment, God did not treat her shabbily!
Nicole almost couldn't control herself and immediately sat back in the chair. She really had no strength. If the doctor didn't give her this sentence, she would almost fall to the ground and never get up again.
The most painful thing in the world was the separation of family affection and flesh. She was not that kind of fate to cause others dead. Fortunately, God had saved her brother, which was already lucky for Nicole!
The doctor and nurses pushed Layton back to the ward. Nicole had been with Layton for the whole night. She saw that his heartbeat was steady and his breathing was even. Although he was not awake, she could have a rest for a while. Then she fell asleep on the edge of his bed.
The second day, Nicole woke up very early. She didn't wake up until about 5 o'clock but before 6 o'clock in the morning. There had been crying all the time in the corridor of the hospital. It was noisy and desolate. Nicole stood up and went out. She saw a lot of people gathering at the end of the corridor. They seemed to be crying.
Nicole walked over curiously. She had only taken a few steps when she saw the familiar figure of the fat woman in gold and silver jewelry. She immediately understood. The fat woman who hit Nicole in Layton's ward, was the parent of Anthony.
Nicole remembered that when she was making a record in the police station, the crying classmate told her that Layton was hit by a car on the road while chasing after Anthony. A group of people reported the case to the police, which called 991 to send the injured students to the nearby People Hospital. Therefore, not only Layton but also Anthony lived here.
According to the tone of the 5 students, Anthony was more seriously injured than Layton. Anthony was said to have been stabbed two times and bled a lot. After Layton was hit by a car, Anthony directly fainted on the side of the road.
Because of guilt and fear of scolding, Nicole didn't dare to look at the student from a distance. Suddenly, a nurse pushed out a seriously injured student from the ward and walked towards the elevator. Anthony's family members followed them all the way, and about 10 people there, wiping their tears and crying.
Nicole was very worried. After Anthony left, Nicole pulled a nurse passing by and asked, "Hello, I want to ask what's wrong with the patient in ward No. 701?"
The nurse didn't know Nicole. She looked back, shook her head and said, "That kid is so pitiful. I heard that it was a group fight between middle school students. He was stabbed two times, almost in the vital parts of his body. Our hospital can't save him. Their parents are going to send him to the senior hospital."
Hearing that, Nicole's hand trembled, and her face was pale. She let go of the nurse's hand, lowered her head and didn't say anything. After a long time, she said, "Thank you!"

Nicole was scared. On the one hand, she was scared; on the other hand, she was being questioned by her conscience. Nicole walked slowly to the empty ward No. 701. Looking at the empty and quiet room, she thought of the child lying in bed in pain and unconscious, and the parents' crying expressions.
Judge another person's feelings by her own, Nicole was even angrier than Lena because Lena offended her. That day, the fat woman beat Nicole like this must be out of anger and sadness. Nicole couldn't blame the fat woman, but she was also distressed and didn't know how to hand over Layton.
Anthony was the life of the fat woman, and so was Layton to her!
In the morning, Nicole had a quick breakfast and fed some porridge to Layton. Then she called her company to ask for leave.
Miss. Li was losing her temper. After Nicole left yesterday, the group meeting couldn't be held and she couldn't explain to the superior, so she vented her anger on Nicole and scolded Nicole.
After Miss. Li vented her anger enough, Nicole said calmly, "Manager, I need to ask for a leave today, because no one takes care of my brother."
Miss. Li was so angry, but Nicole didn't give her a chance to reply and hung up. Miss. Li called again, but Nicole didn't answer.
'How could I still be in the mood to work now? What's more, it is Lambert's company. Although it is a pity to loss my job, but Layton became like this. It is okay to lose my job. I didn't have enough energy and mood to think about the future. Now I have to live by and live, day by day, and it's good to be able to live the day.'
Nicole didn't expect that the police would come at noon. They first asked about Layton's condition, and then explained their intention to Nicole.
After the investigation, the police had a preliminary understanding of the cause of the case. Layton was the main criminal of the case, and also the suspect who directly caused the serious injury of the victim. The victims' parents had already launched a criminal suit against Layton, and they needed the cooperation of Nicole.
Nicole had no objection to this. The police asked her to go to court on behalf of Layton. She was a family member, and it was her responsibility that she didn't teach Layton well so that such a big thing had happened. She admitted it.
