Chapter 2008 I’m Afraid You’ll Die of Exhaustion
After a while, someone brought over a meal.It was all of Nicole’s favorite Medianian food.Since Nicole could not move, Clayton slowly fed her. When the spoon was next to her mouth, Nicole gained an appetite from the soup’s aroma.Clayton finally smiled when Nicole was done eating.Only then did Nicole realize that he had not eaten a single bite.“Go out and eat…”Did he not just say that he was hungry?Why did he not touch the food?Clayton smiled. “It’s too troublesome to go out.”He then proceeded to finish her leftovers with gusto.Nicole was not sleepy at all since she just woke up from a nap.She watched as Clayton finished the food, packed up the boxes, and made himself a cup of coffee.Nicole then realized that Clayton was planning to stay up all night with her.She frowned and said, “Why are you drinking coffee at night?”Clayton paused slightly, then smiled.“It’s refreshing.”“Don’t drink it. I’m afraid you’ll die of exhaustion.”Nicole looked at him sincer
Chapter 2009 What Can I Do?
When Clayton heard this, he frowned, nodded, and glanced at the bodyguard next to him with a grim expression.“Shane, take good care of Madam.”Shane nodded solemnly.“Yes, Mr. Sloan. You can rest assured.”Clayton followed the captain downstairs.They went down the steps and went into an elevator that led underground.Many hospitals in Erethea had bomb shelters underground, and some of them were hidden.Clayton brought his people over. There were many men dressed in black standing at the door.When they saw Clayton, they were extremely respectful and bowed their heads in unison.Clayton walked straight into the innermost room which was very dim.“Open the door.”The bodyguard next to him did not hesitate and immediately opened the door.Clayton entered the dark and damp room. The light overhead was swaying, and the vent was buzzing due to years of disrepair.The man inside curled up on the ground, but he still looked fierce.His bloodied body made him look wild and lifel
Chapter 2010 Can Only See and Cannot Eat
Eric turned his head slowly and remained silent after the phone call.No matter how much Quinn cried or complained, Eric kept quiet.Quinn gradually understood Eric’s attitude, so she lowered her voice and sobbed....The next day.The sunlight shone on Nicole’s face through the curtains.Nicole slowly opened her eyes.She had a good dream last night.Nicole subconsciously reached out her hand and felt a muscular arm next to her.She paused and looked back.Clayton was still sleeping next to her.He slept so soundly that even her disturbance did not wake him up.It was obvious that Clayton had not slept well for a long time.Nicole instantly felt heartbroken.Clayton frowned slightly. He seemed to be dreaming.Nicole reached out and touched his face. His handsome face was a little thinner.She sighed and cuddled next to him.After she woke up, her lungs felt much better, and she did not cough as much.It was probably the medicine taking effect.She only had a slight
Chapter 2011 Another Meaning
The doctors came by three times a day. Clayton’s face also looked better by the day, so Nicole felt that she was going to recover soon.A week passed.The slight tingling in her rib had disappeared.Her intermittent coughing also stopped.Clayton could carry Nicole to the wheelchair and push her around the hospital.The two of them were glued together almost all day. They were inseparable.When Nicole could finally push the wheelchair by herself, she occasionally heard loud screams in the hospital.They were somewhat hysterical, especially at night.However, it seemed like it was just her hallucination because the scream would disappear quickly.When she listened for it again, she could not hear it, as if it was just an illusion.Nicole was sitting on the balcony of the ward, admiring the moon, while Clayton was doing some work on his computer in the room. He looked flawless when he was serious. He looked unkempt with his collar opened slightly.While she admired the moon, s
Chapter 2012 How Civilized
Clayton’s eyes darkened. He nodded.Then, he lowered his head, kissed Nicole’s forehead, and said in a deep voice, “Do you want to wait for me here?”Nicole’s expression changed a little. She pursed her lips.“Is it Angie inside?”Clayton did not deny it, which meant that he acquiesced to her words.Nicole’s expression suddenly became complicated.She originally had some sympathy for Angie, especially since Angie was infatuated with Eric, Nicole could see her past self in Angie.Angie was so pitiful.However, Angie did not react like Nicole. Nicole only felt ashamed for the way that Angie hurt others for the sake of her relationship.Especially because Angie kept saying that she would not hurt Nicole, but in the end, Angie’s men pushed Nicole into the water anyway.This made Nicole’s scalp tingle.Angie had already gotten what she wanted, and Eric also chose Quinn according to her wishes.Why did Angie still need to do this?Nicole was puzzled.Clayton said softly, “Don’t
Chapter 2013 Wait For One More Minute
Clayton's tone was cold, and his eyes were gloomy.“You still don’t want to admit it, huh? Actually, it doesn’t matter whether you admit it or not. I’ll still hold you accountable since Nicole was hurt in your hands.”Angie covered her face and cried miserably. She was vulnerable and wretched.“It wasn’t me! It really wasn’t me! Let me go!”Clayton sneered coldly.“Let you go? How can I give you such a bargain? Unless… You tell me why you wanted to push Nicole into the sea. Is it because of your feelings for Eric? Nah… If it was because of him, you wouldn’t have left Mediania so easily when Caleb was arrested back then. So, what’s the real reason?”His voice was light, but a little playful.It was as if he had already expected the answer and just wanted to play a game with her.If she did not tell him the truth, she would be tortured here forever.In two months, Angie would be dead.“Eric already left, and he didn’t even ask about you. I can’t touch him, but I can certainly d
Chapter 2014 Spell Trouble for the Future
Clayton was not surprised, as if he had expected Angie’s response.This was Angie’s last bargaining chip. She handed over her power for a chance of survival.Angie looked at Clayton nervously, and the fingerprint marks on her neck were especially frightening.At this point, Angie could not care less about anything.Clayton laughed lightly and looked particularly glum in the dimly lit room.He said in a relaxed and deep voice, “Fine. I’ll give you a chance. Deliver your brother to me to show your sincerity.”Angie clenched her fists tightly and closed her eyes.“My brother doesn’t stand a chance anymore. The forces at home and abroad are all eyeing him. He thinks he’s like a duck in water, but disaster is imminent.”Clayton’s eyes flickered. He knew what she meant and withdrew his gaze.Surprisingly, Angie had much better foresight than Tyler.Heh...Tyler was not at a loss to die at the hands of his sister.After a pause, Clayton turned to leave.Angie heaved a sigh of rel
Chapter 2015 My Brother-In-Law
Clayton laughed when he heard this and kissed Nicole on the lips.“Did you think that Angie and Tyler have some kind of deep family bond?”He sighed.Not all siblings were like the Stantons.Most people valued their interests more than family.Nicole was doubtful. “After all, they’re siblings!”They were in the same business and valued alliances the most, so how could they possibly kill each other?Clayton smiled and explained, “Angie has never been a simple person. She was chosen by her father to inherit his position. Caleb and Tyler were not as good as her and were both abandoned by their father. Don’t be deceived by her lack of presence. She’s actually much smarter than Caleb and Tyler.”He reached out and stroked Nicole’s hair.Nicole did not continue to speak and was very confused.She did not want to get involved in Angie’s affairs, but she almost died at Angie’s hands. Angie had too good of a deal if Clayton just let Angie go like that.How nice would it be if Clayton
