However, Jeff calmed down quickly.His panic faded.He could even raise his eyes to meet Nicole’s cold gaze and calmly said, “I’ve turned it down because I don’t want to die on the operating table.”Nicole suddenly felt like crying. Her eyes were sore as if an electric current passed through, which almost made her lose control.Suddenly, the phone rang.Jeff paused and took out his phone. Sebastian’s panicked voice came through, “Bro, it’s bad! Connor Upton’s people barged in and raided the place. They’re trying to arrest me. Will you help me think of a way? I can’t get arrested! My career is just beginning, and I can change the history of humankind!”Sebastian’s voice was unstable as he was probably running to escape.It looked like Connor and Leighton already surrounded the place.However, Sebastian brought this onto himself.Sebastian designed the undersea laboratory to be exactly the same as the research institute. Thus, it was a great convenience for Leighton and Connor.
Abel’s attitude was completely different from when they were in the lounge earlier.Perhaps Abel never wanted to follow Jeff since the beginning.Even if Sebastian could not protect him, he was still better than a weird cripple like Jeff.What was more, the situation was still unclear because they did not know what was going on outside.How could Nicole and Luca ruin Sebastian’s career so easily?Abel was not a fool.If he did not do something at this time, he did not know how he would explain it to Sebastian later.Nicole did not dare to move for fear that Abel would accidentally pull the trigger.People like Abel who carried weapons with them abroad disregarded human life, so Nicole did not dare to test his limits.Just as Luca was about to come over, Nicole winked at him.Thus, Luca stood there dumbfoundedly and stared at Abel coldly.Luca was on guard as if he was ready to attack.Jeff was the closest to Abel.However, it was a pity that he could not even stand up, let
The research laboratories on the shore also had self-destruction systems.It was a fail-safe in case others wanted to steal their research to do dangerous things. Thus, destroying the laboratory was better.However, they also had rules for that. If it was not a war, then this system should never be activated.Connor did not expect that Sebastian would also steal this system from them.Sebastian’s undersea laboratory was basically a replica of the laboratory on shore.However, this self-destruction device was not placed somewhere that Connor was familiar with.Connor immediately realized that Sebastian was planning to destroy all the evidence.If that were the case, no one would be able to find this place and see the gory truth.Everyone instantly became alert.Connor was a step too late. When he entered the room, he saw Sebastian standing there with a pale but distorted face. Sebastian had a reckless, cruel, and resentful smile on his face.“Don’t think that you guys can leav
The countdown timer finally came to an abrupt end.That one minute felt like it was taking so long, but at the same time, it also felt very short.In the last few seconds, the ticking timer seemed to drag on infinitely.It sounded like an air defense siren that pierced through the depths of the sea.Nicole’s nervous heart calmed down instantly.The man she loved was by her side, so why should she be afraid of death?How could she ignore everything and leave him behind?Nicole squeezed his hand.Before she could say a word, she heard the explosion.The explosion almost shattered her eardrums, and it seemed to engulf everything in an instant.It was cold and indifferent.At that moment, Nicole felt the impact of the shockwave and was pushed outward.In this deep sea, their lives seemed insignificant.The fish on the other side of the glass was soon shaken by the strong shockwave. The seawater swept over and destroyed everything in its path.All the lights around them went o
Kai came into the room and waved his hand in front of Nicole’s face.“Do you remember me?”He heard that Nicole was badly concussed, so he was afraid that she would become a fool.That was what Kai had been worried about.Nicole blinked. “No…”Kai’s face turned pale. “Leighton…”Leighton coughed and came in.“I see you can’t take a joke, huh?”Kai was taken aback.He suddenly realized that Leighton was making fun of him.Kai looked at Nicole’s face again only to see her sly smile that was not one bit confused or unfamiliar.He suddenly realized that he had been pranked.That little liar!“If you weren’t still on that hospital bed, I would’ve beaten you up!”Kai spoke harshly.Eric said calmly on the side. “Kai has been worried about you. You’re lucky that you can wake up again.”Nicole smiled and suddenly thought of something.“Where’s Luca?”Kai pursed his lips. “Luca is fine. He just has some superficial wounds and a lung infection. You guys are really lucky. More t
The panic caused by the earthquake had not completely disappeared.Therefore, neither Eric nor anyone could replace Clayton’s existence.Kai was still thinking about what Nicole said just now.He felt like he was hit in the head and could not react for a long time.“Are you mistaken just like Chatty?”How could Jeff be Clayton?They had no similarities at all!Nicole looked at him calmly.“Third Brother, I’m certain. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have risked my life for a stranger.”Kai was silent for a long time.After a long time, Kai asked her in a dry voice, “Then… What should we do? That guy woke up once. Leighton and the others asked him if he was willing to accept the risky experiment and said that they could use Sebastian’s method. But they’ll change the risk assessment and experiment methods. This will give him a chance to stand up again. But if it fails, his lower body will be completely amputated. He already agreed to it.”Nicole’s expression suddenly changed, and her lip
It was just that Nicole hid it so well that others could not see it.The moment she came back, she did not mention anything about Clayton.There were no fluctuations in her emotions either.It was weird and out of character for Nicole, but Kai did not say anything. He just smiled and asked Michael and the others to go to the wine cellar to get some wine.Leighton and the others also drank some.Camille was the happiest, probably because the company’s problems were resolved, and everyone was safe and sound.Nicole could not drink, so she only sipped on her juice.After the meal, Leighton played games with Fischer and Chatty while Camille walked to Nicole’s side.Camille could not hide the joy on her face.“Ms. Stanton, this is great! We’ve gotten rid of Sebastian, and you’re awake. We can finally breathe a sigh of relief.”Nicole smiled. “Yes. I was really lucky to not die in that explosion…”Camille explained in a low voice, “I heard from Leighton and Connor that the self-de
The waiter came over and asked politely, “Would you like to order something?”Nicole smiled. “No thanks.”The waiter politely retreated.Eric did not seem to care if Nicole stayed for dinner because he did not expect her to.Nicole glanced at him. “If there’s nothing else, I’m going back first.”Eric looked in a certain direction quietly. It took a few seconds before he spoke.“Why not go to him?”Nicole pursed her lips and took a deep breath.“I’ve looked for him many times. This time, I want to wait for him to come to me.”“Aren’t you afraid that he’ll die?”Eric asked back.Nicole said, “He won’t want to die so easily.”He still had so many precious things – Chatty, Nicole, and his family. So, how could he be willing to die?With that, Nicole stood up.She said all that she came to say.Eric should be able to understand.Eric looked at her with a bit of forbearance.“Nicole, if he hadn’t shown up in your life…”Nicole paused and interrupted him.“No.”Eric was si
