Mitchell’s body stiffened. He nodded slightly, then glanced at the door of the ward before he silently turned around to leave.He did not take out the small box in his pocket.Eric told him to pass it on.Why bother?Would a gift make everything better?Or was it just to let Nicole know that Eric was still thinking about her?Mitchell sighed and could not help but quicken his pace.......Clayton took a short nap at home. When he opened his eyes, it was already late at night.He looked at the empty room and the dark sky outside. He could not help but be lost in thought for a moment.It was as if in the next second, Nicole would come in from the living room with a smile as she leaned next to him and asked him.“Are you hungry?”Clayton’s chest tightened. His breathing felt heavy.He grabbed his phone and went to the hospital.On the way there, he received a call from his assistant.“Mr. Sloan, there are several projects that are suspended. Should we continue to make inves
After Nicole finished speaking, she pushed Clayton away and ran past him with her head down.Clayton froze in place for a long time.He had not yet returned to his senses.After a long time, Clayton slowly turned around and saw Nicole walk back again from the opposite side in confusion.Nicole stopped a few meters away from him.Her eyes were watery and delicate, making her look so pitiful. “Why am I in the hospital? And who are you?”Clayton’s lips were pressed into a straight line.His voice was a bit hoarse as he carefully probed.“You don’t remember me?”Nicole pursed her lips. She looked very innocent, and she wanted to size him up again.She was very satisfied with his looks, but she could not make it seem like she was desperate for men.Otherwise, it would be so degrading.However, the man in front of her was so gentle and reserved. He was just her type.She simply could not take her eyes off of him.“I don’t know you. Where are my father and brothers?”Nicole lif
What’s wrong was that Clayton was out here.Didn’t Clayton want to be with Nicole at all times?Why was Clayton waiting outside when Nicole was awake?Clayton did not look as surprised as Kai imagined either.Clayton’s face froze for a moment after Kai asked that question.He pursed his lips.“She’s not fully recovered. Let’s wait for the doctor’s results…”Kai wrinkled his brows. He could not understand Clayton’s words.What did Clayton mean by not fully recovered?All that mattered was that Nicole was awake!However, Kai did not think too much about it and pushed the door open to walk in.“Baby sister…”Kai happily opened his mouth and was ready to give Nicole a big bear hug.However, when Kai saw the doctors’ sullen and serious faces, his heart instantly dropped.Oh no.He had a bad feeling about this.Nicole sat on the side of the hospital bed and swung her feet as she smiled gently.“Little K, I gave Dad the love letter that you wrote to that actress!”Nicole’s s
Clayton stood outside and looked at the doctor with a dark gaze.The doctor sighed.“This kind of situation is uncommon, so it’s out of our expectations. After a comprehensive assessment, Ms. Stanton’s body indicators are gradually recovering. Since she has just given birth, her body is still very weak. She doesn’t have the recovery speed of an ordinary person. It’s possible that her excessive blood loss this time resulted in insufficient blood and oxygen supply to the brain. This can briefly lead to partial memory loss. We just didn’t expect that Ms. Stanton would be so unlucky to have all these after-effects.”After that, everyone fell into silence.Obviously, they did their best, but accidents always happen.The doctor saw their glum faces and added, “But Ms. Stanton’s life is no longer in danger. She can be discharged at any time, but she must have proper postpartum care…”Kai finally understood why Clayton looked like this earlier.How miserable must Clayton be after findin
Kai’s words inadvertently hurt Clayton.Clayton’s face was taut, and his lips were pursed.Nicole looked at Clayton and found it incredulous.Although this man looked like her type, he was a stranger to her.The familiarity he gave her was far from the point where Nicole could accept this fact.Clayton sighed, took out his phone, found their wedding photo, and handed it over.“We took it the day we got our marriage license. You can take a look at it. Nicole, you only lost your memory temporarily, but we’re legally married.”Nicole looked at his phone and took it over dubiously.In the photo, Nicole was leaning next to Clayton. They were wearing white shirts, and the smile on their faces was bright. The light in their eyes was shining with raging love.It did not look fake at all.Nicole knew that if she did not love this man, she would never marry him.However, this kind of love felt both strange and familiar.It was as if she lost something that she once had. Now that it w
Kai went over to carry Nicole’s things while Clayton pushed her wheelchair.As soon as they went out, Clayton draped a blanket and a scarf over Nicole that he had prepared long ago.Before she had a chance to look outside, the scarf covered her face. She was wrapped tightly.The next second, a pair of strong arms went under her and carried her up horizontally.In the blink of an eye, Nicole was placed in the backseat of a car. She then heard the sound of the door closing.Kai tactfully sat in the passenger seat.Clayton went around to the other side of the car and sat in the backseat. He did not say anything as he fixed her scarf.Nicole’s doe-like eyes stared at him in puzzlement.For a moment, Clayton felt the urge to lower his head and kiss her.However, he thought about her current condition and was afraid that he would scare her.Forget it.The temperature inside the car was just right.Clayton smiled. His voice was warm and gentle.“Tell me if you’re uncomfortable. D
The wind outside blew in.Even though the weather was clear, it was still a little cold.Floyd had little experience and had forgotten that Nicole could not catch a cold during postpartum care.At that moment, Nicole woke up and could not help but tighten the blanket on her body.She opened her eyes and was stunned for a moment.“Daddy....”Clayton’s face changed. He wanted to say something but held back.He was so careful to protect Nicole from the breeze.However, if Floyd was the one who caused trouble, Clayton did not dare to accuse Floyd.It was better to keep his mouth shut.Floyd saw his frail daughter and Clayton’s gloomy gaze before he realized that he had been too rash.He quickly covered Nicole with a scarf and blanket and commanded Clayton, “Quick, carry her inside. It’s warmer at home.”Nicole was speechless.Clayton gladly obliged.Just now, they were all afraid of waking Nicole up, so the driver and Kai did not dare to leave the car. Now, they got out of th
Grant snorted coldly. He had a specious smile as he cast a warning look at Kai.“It’s good that you know.”Kai felt guilty.“Big Brother, it’s been so long! It’s just a figurine, so don’t keep holding a grudge against me!”Grant’s eyes sank. His tone was frustrated and heavy.“That’s the only gift that Aida gave me before she left the country. I treated it like a treasure, but you broke it.”During that time, Aida broke up with Grant.Grant was only getting by because of that gift, but it was broken.Grant searched all over the house and could not find who it was back then.It turned out that it was Kai!This annoying douchebag!Kai sheepishly hid behind Floyd.He really could not stand Grant’s killer eyes.Nicole laughed as if nothing was wrong.Suddenly, she heard a baby’s cry coming from upstairs.She suddenly froze and thought of something.Could it be her baby?As soon as Floyd heard the baby crying, he immediately stood up and ran upstairs.In the blink of an ey
