Chapter 2185 Emergency Rescue
The tremors from the earthquake were so strong that Nicole had to walk by the wall to dodge the falling objects.Overhead, the dim yellow lights suddenly went out.It became pitch black.For a moment, Nicole could not get used to the dark and could not see anything.In the next second, she suddenly heard Chatty’s scared voice.“Mommy…”Nicole trembled and looked in Chatty’s direction excitedly.Two of her assistants came out carrying a child in their arms.“Ms. Stanton, let’s get out now! The back of this building has collapsed.”The assistant said anxiously.Nicole’s eyes had adjusted to the darkness. She looked at her female assistant, who was carrying Chatty, and saw that her forehead was bruised like she had been hit by a falling object.Nicole immediately went over to look at Chatty. Fortunately, the child was just frightened. The assistant protected Chatty, but she was still terrified.Nicole felt grateful and glanced at the assistant.“Thank you. Let’s go quickly.”
Chapter 2186 No Signs of Life
Nicole stood there among the crowd. People were screaming and crying loudly.They knelt there with terrified faces and the indescribable grief of losing their loved ones.It felt as if an invisible wall formed in front of her, forming two different worlds.Nicole looked at the ruins with a pale face.Euan, who was on the side, walked over with a dismal expression. He looked like a mess because he participated in the rescue just now. His body was covered in dirt.He looked at her and hesitated to speak.The emotions in his eyes were very complicated.“Ms. Stanton, during the earthquake just now, the surface fractured, and the boulder fell down when the first tremors hit. Mr. Sloan and three other people who were standing there fell off the cliff together. They didn’t have a chance to react.”This was the cruel truth.Nicole’s face was dreary and tense as she looked at the large surface that had disappeared in disbelief.There was still some loose rubble at the fracture, and th
Chapter 2187 He Died
“Ms. Stanton…”“Madam…”“Mommy…”Countless voices reverberated in Nicole’s ears.It was as if those voices were separated by a window, vaguely lingering in her ears.Nicole fell into a coma due to her grief.She wanted to be strong and face everything, but she dared not.She was afraid that it was true, that something might have happened to Clayton.If so, her life would forever lose its color.After a long time, the voices finally quieted down.She seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep.This hiking trip felt like a thrilling dream.There were no dead people, screams, earthquakes, or thick fog that covered everything as far as the eye could see.......in the dark.Doctors were coming and going from the room.The tall man stood in front of the window and looked at the dark sky outside. When he turned back, he looked at the woman who was sleeping unsettlingly. Suddenly, he frowned slightly and felt a little worried.He walked over, sat down, and looked at Nicole’s fac
Chapter 2188 Test Result
Nicole looked straight at Eric.Her voice was low and calm without showing any signs of panic.If it were not for the paleness of her face, it would be impossible to tell that she had lost her composure in her sleep because of a man.Even though Eric felt uncomfortable, he concealed it very well.He walked in as if nothing had happened, walked to the chair next to the bed, and sat down.“Are you alright? Do you feel any discomfort? Should I ask the doctor to check on you again?”He said as he took out his phone to call the doctor.As a result, he was interrupted by the impatient Nicole.“Eric, what’s going on? Was that earthquake just a dream? Where’s Clayton? Why isn’t he here?”Nicole was unwilling to think about the worst outcome even though the grief was surging in her heart.Eric looked at her and said in a low voice, “It’s not a dream. My helicopter passed by the mountain and received a distress signal. When I got there, I saw that you fainted, so I brought you back her
Chapter 2189 I’m Going to Look For Him
Nicole frowned and looked like she did not believe Eric.How could it be such a coincidence?She subconsciously looked at the maid next to her.The maid noticed and nodded in agreement.“Ms. Stanton, it’s true. This is the safest place now because this house is earthquake-proof. Even if there is an earthquake, it won’t collapse. If you want to contact the outside world, I’m afraid you’ll have to wait until tomorrow.”Nicole heard this and felt her heart turn cold.She could wait, but could Clayton wait?Every second and every minute was precious, so she did not want to waste her time here.What if Clayton was stuck somewhere, waiting for someone to rescue him?Nicole wanted to leave immediately and get a team to rescue Clayton.Her complexion turned extremely pale.Her fists were clenched tightly, and her whole body was tense.What should she do if she could not contact anyone?How could she sit still?Nicole raised her eyelids, looked at Eric, and pursed her lips.“Can
Chapter 2190 Found One
Eric saved her, but it did not mean that he could stop Nicole from doing what she wanted.In the dark, Eric’s expression froze. His eyes gradually turned deeper and darker, so much so that no emotions could be seen from them.“Nicole, objectively speaking, you’re a woman, so your physical strength and endurance can’t compare to these professionals. If there are aftershocks, and you get into an accident, we’ll have to assign more people to take care of you. Don’t you think this will delay more time in saving Clayton?”The light was dim. Moreover, Nicole’s thoughts had already flown away.Thus, she did not notice the worry and tension in Eric’s eyes at this time.Nicole was silent for a few seconds and seemed to be looking in a certain direction in the distance.Just when Eric thought she had compromised, she said in a drawn-out voice, “That’s great then. There’s no need to save me.”Eric’s heart seemed to be twisted viciously that it was so painful.Did Nicole like Clayton that
Chapter 2191 He Let Them Leave
The tall mountains on both sides were straight. It looked like an artificial carving as its workmanship was simply magical.It was gorgeous, but falling from that height would only mean death.Nicole’s heart tightened instantly.She looked at the sparkling dark surface of the water with a heavy heart.Nicole could not speak, and she wanted to cry, but the person who could comfort her was not by her side.Suddenly, someone put a jacket over her.She paused for a moment and looked back. Eric stood there and followed her for who knew how long.“Wear it. Don’t catch a cold.”Nicole took off the jacket and handed it to him.“No need. I’m not cold.”After she finished speaking, she walked back.Nicole guessed that the possibility of falling from the top into the water was very small. After all, it was so far away.Maybe she was worrying too much.“Nicole, do you hate me that much? You don’t just hate me. You hate my jacket too. If it weren’t for the earthquake today, maybe you w
Chapter 2192 Adding Fuel to the Fire
Nicole’s tears fell at some point, and she could not listen to a word Eric said.All she knew was that Eric allowed the rescuers to leave and that they were not going to look for Clayton anymore.Eric could not wait for Clayton to die!Nicole’s heart ached, and her voice was almost hysterical.“Help me? You’re helping by pushing me into hell again, right? Isn’t this your specialty? You really didn’t improve after all these years! You just want to kill him on purpose!”Eric approached her without saying a word.He could feel that she was having a mental breakdown from keeping her emotions bottled up all day.Now was not the time to reason with her.Eric took a step forward and changed his tone.“Okay, I’ll admit to what you said, so come back with me first. I won’t let these people leave and will make sure that they continue the search at dawn!”“I don’t believe you! Don’t fool me! How could I believe your nonsense!”Of course, Nicole refused to leave.She had to stay here b
