Chapter 190: Is there still a cure?
Nico Lacasa frowned, muttering to himself with concern.
-I’ll go and check it out.
Since Nico Lacasa had agreed to help El Grupo Moya, Orlando should also show some reciprocity. What’s more, he wanted to take this opportunity to get out and get some fresh air, and he didn’t want to see Nico Lacasa’s hypocritical face with Gerardo again.
With that, he stood up and Nico Lacasa nodded, satisfied with his behaviour.
However, as soon as Orlando stepped outside, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside, followed by a knock on the door.
-What’s going on?
Gerardo frowned in disgust, followed by a look of displeasure from Nico Lacasa, who was closest to the door and opened it immediately to the panic and head sweat of the restaurant outside.
-Mrs. Nico, it’s not good, your daughter….
The man in charge obviously knew Nico Lacasa, and he certainly knew that Felicia was his daughter. In fact, when he heard the waiter say that a customer had had acid thrown on him in the bathroom, his frightened legs went weak.
When he saw that it was Felicia, he was even more frightened and stunned.
-What’s going on? -asked Nico Lacasa with a sombre look on his face as he stood up immediately.
The manager said with a grimace:
-It was the waiter outside who heard a customer screaming inside the bathroom, so he went in to check. Then they saw his daughter … lying on the floor and rolling around, and the manager rushed to get others to come. It was a chaotic scene and we only had time to give Miss Felicia simple treatment, but … but she still needed to be taken to hospital.
Nico Lacasa was so devastated that he almost fainted.
-Mr. Nico!
The person in charge rushed to reach out to help him and gave him a worried look.
Nico Lacasa grabbed the other man’s arm and, fighting a wave of fear and vertigo, asked.
-Have they called the ambulance yet?
-Yes, he was called and will be here soon.
-Where is my daughter, take me to her.
-This way, please.
Nico Lacasa cared little about Gerardo and Orlando, what mattered now was his daughter.
-Follow him,” Gerardo ordered, looking back at Orlando.
Reluctantly, Orlando agreed.
Never mind, first let’s make sure Felicia was all right. At a time like the present, it didn’t matter why the acid had been thrown at her or who had done it, you had to act like you cared a lot first.
Once Orlando left, Gerardo immediately narrowed his eyes. Unbeknownst to anyone else, he had sensed the key to the whole affair. Seeing that no one was around, he called directly to his shadowy forces.
-Now have someone take out the surveillance immediately, and after that, find a way to destroy the surveillance data here. Remember, do it cleanly.
After ordering the men under his command, Gerard rethought the matter.
Felicia had collapsed in pain, and her face was now so unrecognisable that it was scary to look at.
Nico Lacasa’s legs gave way at the sight of his girl’s face, and if Orlando hadn’t held him, he would have fallen to the ground.
-Felicia.
Nico Lacasa pushed Orlando away and rushed forward with a pale face calling Felicia’s name over and over again. He wanted to touch his daughter but didn’t dare, he could only look at her.
His eyes were full of anger, and Nico forced himself to calm down and look at the man in charge.
-What the hell is going on? Why was acid thrown at my daughter in the bathroom? Did your men see anyone suspicious when they approached?
The person in charge was very frightened and explained shakily:
-It was… so confusing at the time that we didn’t know exactly who had done it. By the time we reacted ….
-What?
Nico Lacasa’s eyes instantly turned red, as if they were dripping with blood.
He scowled at the man responsible and said through gritted teeth, “You didn’t see anyone? You rushed to the toilet first and didn’t even see the killer.
-It’s true I didn’t see it, the situation was too chaotic …
He was so scared that his legs went limp when he confirmed that the person who had been poured with acid was Felicia, and he was only concerned about getting emergency measures taken to help her, so he didn’t care about anything else.
-What are you waiting for? Get me the CCTV! Find out who was there before and after my daughter went to the toilet, one by one!
This was the best that could be done.
Unfortunately, the surveillance had been manipulated in advance by Gerardo’s people.
So when the person in charge went to check the surveillance, he discovered it and fainted from shock.Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.
This time it was a real swoon.
Hospital.
Orlando stood expressionless in the corridor, while Nico Lacasa sat on a bench. He was surrounded by his wife, who had come to the news and was now crying in his arms.
The rest of Felicia’s family, most of whom work for the government, also arrived.
The last to arrive was Nico Lacasa’s father, Guillermo Lacasa, who remained very influential despite his retirement. Also because he spoiled Felicia so much, the whole Lacasa family treated her like a little princess.
As a result, he had developed an arrogant and rebellious personality.
-Father.
Nico Lacasa hurriedly got up and helped Guillermo to sit down.
-How is my precious granddaughter?
Guillermo grabbed Nico Lacasa’s hand and looked at him eagerly, Nico didn’t know what to say when he thought of Felicia’s face as she was taken to the hospital.
-Felicia.
Guillermo uttered Felicia’s name in pain, and suddenly fainted.
-Dad!
-Grandfather!
There was instant chaos everywhere.
It wasn’t long before the operating theatre door opened and the doctor emerged from inside.
-Doctor, how is my daughter?
The doctor said with a heavy expression:
-Your daughter’s injuries are very serious, the concentrated sulphuric acid was poured directly on her face and her burns are 94%. Even … nose, mouth and five other senses have been affected. There is also the skin on her face, which is all eroded.
Listening to the doctor’s words, Nico’s jaw dropped.
-So … is there still a remedy to cure?
