Chapter 766 Nicholas’ Injury
Everyone reflexively looked up, and lo and behold, a spotlight that was initially fixed onto the ceiling suddenly loosened and dropped.
Worst of all, Tessa happened to be standing right below it.
Everyone instantly turned apprehensive, for the injury would be life-threatening if the spotlight landed on them.
At that, everyone screamed.
“Oh God, everyone move!”
“Anyone who gets hit will be dead meat.”
“Tessa, get away!”
The faint-hearted ones dared not even look, covering their eyes with their hands.
Meanwhile, Mona was beside herself with fear when she saw that Tessa was still standing right below the falling spotlight. “Tessa, get away from there!” she screamed.
Tessa heard her, but her mind had gone blank then. She was petrified, only watching the spotlight fall toward her.
It happened all too fast.
Just when the spotlight was only inches away from Tessa, Nicholas showed up.
“Tessa!” His eyes widened in fear as he dashed toward Tessa, running the fastest he had ever run, and he pulled the petrified young woman into his arms to shield her from harm’s way.
Even so, he still didn’t manage to evade it entirely, for the falling spotlight landed on his shoulder.
Nicholas’ muffled groan and glass breaking traveled to Tessa’s ears. However, her brain was still lagging as it took some time to process what was happening. Once she came to herself, she turned around only to find her beloved pale-faced and bleeding on the shoulder. It was a gruesome sight. “Nicholas…”
“Thank goodness you’re okay.” He looked feebly at Tessa and relieved she was okay.
However, dizziness hit him just as he was about to comfort her, and he blacked out.
Tessa freaked out when Nicholas suddenly passed out and leaned toward her. “Nicholas, open your eyes, Nicholas!” she screamed in horror while her tears blurred her vision, but no matter how she shouted, the man in her arms gave no response.
Everyone came to themselves at this point, and someone called the ambulance while another called Hathaway.
All in all, it was chaos.
Mona, on the other hand, kept Tessa company and comforted her, saying, “Don’t panic, Tessa. President Sawyer will surely be okay.”
The rest echoed her sentiment.
“Mona’s right. President Sawyer will definitely be fine.”
“The ambulance is already on its way. Hang in there, Tessa.”
“Don’t you think it’s strange that the light would suddenly fall when it’s fixed properly onto the ceiling?”
“The stagehands must’ve slacked when they were cross-checking. We have to tell Miss Hathaway when she comes.”
“Of course. If it weren’t for President Sawyer, the one lying here would be Tessa!”
Likewise, Tessa thought it was weird that the spotlight would fall, but right now, she couldn’t think about anything else other than Nicholas. She held her beloved close as her tears fell like a never-ending waterfall.
Meanwhile, Hathaway and the stagehands had rushed over. Her face paled upon seeing the passed-out Nicholas and the damaged spotlight.
“How did this happen? Where’s the ambulance? Has anyone called for the ambulance?” she asked the group at once, and they all gave their answers at the same time.
“The ambulance is on its way.”
Sure enough, it came in no time and took Nicholas and Tessa to the nearest hospital.
“The patient has a hairline fracture on his shoulder, and his back also received quite a few flesh wounds. He would have to properly rest and recuperate for a while. In the meantime, don’t let him lift heavy objects or make any major movements.”
Tessa nodded in reply, worried as she reprimanded herself.
He had only just recovered from a shoulder injury, and now it was hurt again.
The doctor reflexively comforted her, seeing that she looked glum. “Though your husband will have to be hospitalized for a few days, his injury is already considered minor.”
The doctor wasn’t sugarcoating it, for if Nicholas had been a split second slower, the spotlight might have landed on his head, resulting in his death.
