Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress

Chapter 618: begged me not to hurt them

"Miss, the ambulance is already on the way," said the staff to Grace. "They told us not to move her until they arrive."

"How long will they take to get here?"

Grace ground her teeth briefly, huffing as she nodded. "Three minutes," she murmured. "No more than that. Do you understand?"

"Yes."

"It's my fault..." Nina teared up in distress, touching her head as she didn't know what to do or how to feel. Everything happened so fast that no one was able to grasp the situation until the aftermath. She wiped her eyes with her arm, sniffling as she held onto Penny's hand.

"No, it's my fault," Lily chimed in, chewing her bottom lip with tears rolling down her cheeks. She looked up at the staff, her eyes swirling with concern. "Please, is there anyone else who can help? There should be someone who could assist while we wait, right?"

"Is there a doctor here?!" Ginnie didn't wait for an answer, yelling as she scanned the crowd. "Please! Anyone?!"
