NovelOnlineChapter 423 Noelle stared at the unconscious Frank and was at a loss for words.
She looked up at Cedric and said, "We should get a doctor to check on him. It'd be bad if he just died here." It was only then that Cedric turned to look at the PR team, which prompted Tilly to look for a doctor and arrange for Frank's medical examination.
And now, Noelle and Cedric were left alone by themselves. Noelle looked downwards as Cedric spoke up. "Does your arm still hurt?" "It's better now. It doesn't hurt so long as I don't touch the wound," Noelle replied.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCedric's expression darkened as he looked at the injuries on her body. "The most important thing for you right now is to rest and recover. Don't worry about anything else." "I know. With the TG Public Relations' PR team by my side, there's really nothing to worry about," She stole a glance at him and continued, "Are you still angry?" Cedric flicked her forehead lightly. "Just don't do this again. If something like this happens again, we can discuss together what to do next. You don't have to handle everything alone." Noelle rubbed her forehead as she felt that something between them had been slowly but surely changing. Just then, Tilly walked over and said, "Ms. Liddell, Mr. Frank's condition isn't so great. The doctor has asked for a family member to be present." Noelle felt her heart hurt as she thought about Frank's frail appearance.
Cedric wrapped her hand in his own, his palm warm and reassuring. "You don't need to feel burdened by anyone from the Liddell family." "I know, but we should still go take a look. Once he wakes up, we can transfer him to another hospital," Noelle replied.
As she started walking, he still did not let go of her hand.
She turned around to look at him, which prompted him to lower his head and look at her. "What's wrong?" His tone was calm, as if their fingers intertwining together was the most natural thing in the world. Noelle looked away as her lips curled up slightly.
As the two of them arrived at the doctor's office, the doctor was shocked to see that Cedric was holding a young woman's hand. It was apparent that their relationship was not an ordinary one.
Noelle was the first to speak up. "How is Frank doing?" The doctor brought out the scans for Frank. "His stomach's not doing so well. I recommend running smore tests for certainty, but based on our initial assessment, we suspect that it might be stomach cancer." Noelle felt as if she was dreaming when she heard the words 'stomach cancer.' "Stomach cancer? Are you sure, doctor? His stomach has always been weak, but he's also constantly being monitored and on medication." She recalled that Frank had never developed stomach cancer in her past life. She barely registered what the doctor said next.
Cedric led Noelle out of the office and said, "I remember that his stomach had been not doing very well for a long time. But for it to worsen so much in such a short tonly meant that he didn't take it seriously." Frank had fainted once when he was back in Aldoria, and it was Noelle who had taken him to the hospital. Noelle took a deep breath and asked, "Have you ever heard about the butterfly effect?" "I've heard of it, but what does that have to do with Frank's illness?" Cedric replied.
She lowered her head and explained, "Do you think that changing a person's fate could also alter the destinies of others?" "Cwith me. I'd like to show you something." Cedric then led her to the hospital's back garden. She glanced around and asked, "What are we looking at?" "Look at the ants on the ground," he crouched down and picked up a leaf to block the ants' path. "See? Their fate just changed." Noelle watched as the once orderly line of ants suddenly becchaotic.

take a different route today, do something different, or even go hin a different way. Nobody knows what kind of changes those decisions will cause in the future." She watched as the ants found a way around the leaf and reorganized their formation.
She pursed her lips and replied, "I understand. Thank you, Cedric."
Frank's stomach problems had shown signs very early on. According to Robin, he should have undergone surgery long ago, but it had been delayed until now. Cedric wanted to say something more, but his phone started ringing.
He stepped aside to take the call before returning to Noelle's side. "I need to head to the office to handle e something real quick, but I'll be back in the evening to have dinner with you. Is there anything you'd like to eat?" "I want the specialty dishes of L Bistro. Do they do takeout?" Noelle asked.
