Nick was moved by my words but hesitated. He turned to Kate and said, "Kate, I'll go to the fourth floor to check on Meryl. Natalie can take you, okay?"
Kate, with a pout and tears in her eyes, protested, "No, I twisted my foot for you, Nick. Are you going to leave me?
"She never likes me usually; what if she refuses to take me?
"I saw the notice just now, it's fake. Natalie has deceived you several times, and you still believe her? I won't contact you again after this, otherwise, Natalie will deceive you with her lies again."
Feeling sorry for her distress, Nick quickly reassured her, "Don't cry. I won't let her harm you. I'll take you to the doctor now."
With a forceful kick, he pushed me away once more and hurried off.
Seeing him about to leave, I tried to stand up, but my movement pulled the place where he had kicked me before, causing me to trip over.
In that brief moment, he had already boarded the elevator.
Desperately, I shouted after him, "Nick, Meryl can't wait any longer. I'm not lying to you. Please, save her. I beg you, save her!"
The elevator doors closed with silence, leaving me with only his cold gaze.
