No longer a pushover (Noelle and Cedric) novel Chapter 1355

When Noelle heard Cedric's name, she looked up and saw him at the door. He seemed pale and haggard.

For a moment, she started choking up. Why was he here? She hadn't expected him to wake up now and arrive with reinforcements to save her.

When Eugene noticed Cedric, he sighed quietly in relief. With Cedric's arrival, the tables were turned.

Ivy tried to flee but was relentlessly hunted down. A bullet struck her leg, and she stumbled behind a table, clutching her thigh and limping in pain.

She hadn't expected things to fall apart right now. Cedric wheeled himself up to her and aimed his gun right at her head.

Yet, when faced with the gun, Ivy sneered, "Go ahead and shoot me if you dare."

He disdainfully replied, "You're not worth me dirtying my hands."

Just then, Alfred arrived with a group of cops, who immediately cuffed Ivy. But the latter kept her eyes on Cedric and asked in disbelief, "Why aren't you dead?"

"You're surprised I'm not, right? You used the same trick on Mia, who luckily survived, and so did I."

"I guess luck's on your side. Ivy scowled.

Now that they were sure that the situation was under control, Mia and Eugene walked over with Noelle, who hurried to Cedric's side and asked, "Are you okay?

"Why are you here? You should be resting in the hospital."

He had just woken up and was not close to being ready for discharge.

Cedric gently wiped her sweat and said, "I couldn't just lie in bed waiting for news. I needed to see that you are safe with my own eyes."

"You could've just sent someone. Why do you never take your health seriously?" Noelle's heart ached for him.

"I'm fine," he said softly. "I'll be okay as long as I'm awake."
