On stage, the stage play of Nicole and Gary had reached the climax. The prince died because of the
princess, and the princess walked to the center of the stage with a sad recitation of the line and said
the line of imminent martyrdom with a sad face.
It was only a stage play, but it tugged at the audience’s heartstrings, some girls even welling up
because of the plot. Nicole’s sad appearance made those girls feel pity, and those boys felt sad and
wanted to protect her.
One of them was Edwin. “Nicole’s acting skills are also too incredible; it makes me want to go on stage
to protect her.”
Harvey could not help but glance back at him. Edwin shut up at once, not daring to speak anymore.
Samuel and Spencer were sitting together, and Samuel’s eyes had already reddened. “Nicole’s
performance is awesome.”
Spencer looked at him with disdain. “You big man. Stop crying already.”
As excellent as Nicole’s performance is, you’ve got to control yourself.’
Samuel nodded and looked at Stanley, who was sitting not far away. Stanley was also full of admiration
and pride, as her sister was stealing all the limelight.
Just as everyone was admiring Nicole, a loud mechanical noise came from above the stage.
Everyone subconsciously looked up, only to find that the stage lighting fixture was falling.
“Oh, my God!” The lighting fixture was just above Nicole; the consequences of it falling was
unimaginable.
“Watch out, Nicole.” Samuel, Spencer, and Stanley all shouted a warning.
Lloyd, who was closest to Nicole, stood up anxiously. “Nicole, get out of the way.”
Nicole had sensed danger and was subconsciously about to run, but she looked back and saw Gary
still lying on the ground playing dead.
“Watch out, Gary.” With no time to think, Nicole ran toward Gary and pulled him away at once.
Bang!
A stage light fixture with a diameter of over a meter fell, smashing down and leaving behind a massive
hole in the floor, with debris strewn everywhere.
Had Nicole not reacted fast enough, one of Gary’s legs would have been smashed.
Gary was struck dumb, not knowing what had just happened. Only when he looked back did he see a
humongous hole in the stage floor and looked back at Nicole involuntarily.
Nicole’s face was pale, and Gary said with a stunned face, “Nicole, did you just save my life?”
Nicole did not bother to answer his question. She let go of him and stood up. Now, only did Gary see
what appeared to be fragments of a lighting fixture leave a cut wound on Nicole’s arm, her bare arm
covered in blood.
“You’re hurt?” Gary stood up nervously and looked at her with concern.
Nicole avoided his outstretched hand and said warily, “I’m fine. It’s just a minor cut.”
Her eyes were looking at the lighting fixture overhead, above which was a metal maintenance
passageway. It was narrow, but it was passable.
It might look like an accident, but it was strange that only the lighting fixture above Nicole and Gary had
fallen off.
But she had no time to think because people were scrambling up the stage by now.
Preston nervously leaned over and looked at Nicole’s arm with a nervous face. “Are you hurt, Nicole?”
Nicole could only nod and say, “I’m fine.”
“How can you be fine when you are bleeding? Let’s go to the infirmary.” Lulu and the others had also
come up to her.
Gary was ashamed of himself, not knowing what to say at this moment.
Suddenly someone jumped on the stage. Before everyone knew it, someone carried Nicole with both
arms.
Nicole was stunned. She looked up and found that it was Lloyd.
