[Chapter 153]
The first ones to walk into Julie's ward were police officers.
Aware that Julie had awakened, they posed some questions to her.
The day the rescue team had arrived, those criminals had fled away, abandoning Julie in a pool of her own blood.
Recently roused, Julie appeared sullen.
A tongue injury prevented her from speaking much.
Once the police officers exited, Nicole entered the room to visit Julie.
Tears welled up in Nicole's eyes at the sight of Julie's bruised face.
She yearned to embrace Julie but feared exacerbating her injuries, so she clung to the bed's edge and wept briefly.
Regaining her composure, Nicole sought words of comfort for Julie, yet none came to mind.
Redness tinged Julie's eyes, a result of excessive crying over the previous disappointment over David.
Nicole was about to cry when she saw Julie's red eyes, but she managed to choke back tears.
