The last thing Clayton wanted was to see Nicole suffer, but he was even more afraid that something would happen to her.Thus, he did not want to take any risks.When Nicole was with him, she was perfectly normal and was the same as before.Clayton was afraid that something would happen to her while he was away.Every time he saw the scars on her arm, he was heartbroken and reminded himself not to take it lightly.He tried to act nonchalantly, and both of them tried their best to ignore the hidden dangers of depression.However, he would not neglect it.Nicole did not persist on this matter for too long and took over the glass of warm water. Clayton took the medicine for her and was relieved after he watched her take it.Finally, he stroked her hair to express his appreciation and encouragement.“What a good girl.”He went out and put the glass away.When Clayton came back, he casually told Nicole what Roland said in order to divert her attention.Nicole was quite surprised
Mitchell took the initiative to talk since he felt guilty.“Ms. Nelson, I’ll get a caregiver to take care of you this afternoon. This is my contact information. If you need anything, you can contact me anytime.”Selena looked at his business card and looked away.“You don’t have a say in this. Give me Eric’s number.”The corner of Mitchell’s mouth twitched.“Sorry. I can’t give out Mr. Ferguson’s phone number to just anyone.”“Okay, then. I’ll just contact the police and ask about how one should be sentenced for hitting someone with a car.”Selena hit the nail on the head with that sentence.Mitchell took a deep breath.Finally, he realized that Selena was not a simple woman.Was she planning to take advantage of this incident to extort them?Mitchell had a bad premonition.Eric had really bumped into big trouble.It was a good thing that Selena was married. Otherwise, she might set her sights on Eric.Mitchell believed that Eric was still stuck in his failed relationship
Nicole’s set of jewelry was also carefully selected.She wore a matching watch with Clayton, and the two looked like the perfect pair.Clayton was dapper in his suit. He looked relaxed with his sleeves rolled up to his elbows.He was cool and handsome with gentle eyes.If it were not for the cane he placed next to him, he did not seem any different from before.Clayton looked at the watch on his wrist, touched it, and chuckled in Nicole’s ear.“I now know why you want to be interviewed. No one can match your dedication to your company!”Nicole let out a muffled laugh. The corners of her mouth curled up. She looked energetic and spirited. Her long dark hair was let down, and her smile was bright and eye-catching. At this time, she lowered her voice and said, “I’m glad you know. This jewelry collection will definitely be popular, and I don’t even need a spokesperson. I’ll earn so much that I’ll be able to give you anything you want then!”Clayton raised his eyebrows. His eyes dar
Mitchell was shocked.“She was beaten?”Selena had a sharp tongue and did not look like she would take a beating without a fight.However, Mitchell recalled how badly wounded she already was. There was nothing she could do if she had no strength to fight back.Mitchell immediately calmed down and said, “Okay, I’ll be right there.”He immediately turned the car around and rushed to the hospital.Just as he was hesitating about whether to call Eric, Eric called him.“My mother is sick, so I have to go over and take a look. Don’t contact me if it’s not urgent.”Eric wanted to find an excuse to leave, and Quinn was really sick.He sent his people to watch over Quinn. At first, Quinn was still making a fuss, but she seemed to notice that Eric would not compromise, so she stopped making a fuss.Old Master Ferguson passed away, and Ingrid was sent away to some unknown place.Moreover, Quinn did not have a good relationship with Charles, who was bedridden, so she did not want to be
Clayton touched Nicole’s head. His eyes deepened, and his voice was warm and clear as he said, “If you like, I can adapt.”The two looked at each other just as the elevator opened.Ian came out to make a phone call, just in time to see the couple smiling at each other with affection. He suddenly felt like he was forced to watch them be all lovey-dovey.He coughed and looked at the two with a cheeky smile.“Aren’t you guys going to come out?“The two were stunned and walked out with a smile. Clayton stretched out his hand for a handshake, but Ian did not shake his hand and hugged him instead. Ian patted Clayton on the shoulder.“Welcome back, Clayton!”Clayton also patted Ian on the shoulder and felt touched.“Thanks.”Ian glanced at Nicole and raised his eyebrows.“Julie came early, but we’re expecting one more — Lance.”Nicole was slightly taken aback. “He hasn’t left yet?”Ian lowered his eyes slightly.“It’s Yvette’s death anniversary soon.”Nicole did not speak and st
Clayton’s lips moved slightly, and his eyes flickered. He was about to say something when Nicole continued to speak, “The bar owner was very understanding and called someone for me, but I forgot to label your caller ID, so she called Malcolm. Fortunately, Malcolm didn’t disappoint me. Otherwise, I would’ve gotten drunk for nothing!”Nicole’s voice was soft. She was a little tipsy, so she leaned her body on his like a soft and delicate rose.The noise downstairs was ear-splitting, and there was also a deafening noise coming from the private room behind them.The couple briefly embraced each other.After a moment of silence, Clayton stared at Nicole intently. The tip of his nose touched hers, and their warm breath fell on each other’s faces as they intertwined.The man’s handsome face, which looked like an art piece, was gentle and expressive.There was a glint in his deep eyes.Clayton kissed Nicole’s luscious lips lightly and lingered over her. His voice was deep and husky as he
Derek Norton was drunk. He shouted outside the ward and treated the hospital as his home.He never cared about his reputation anyway.Derek thought that people would think highly of him as long as he had money. Thus, he could be as arrogant and unreasonable as he wanted.Selena lay there with a pale face as she looked up at the ceiling.Selena could hear Derek pounding on the door and the caregiver’s trembling voice when she called Mitchell.As Derek slammed on the door, Selena’s heartbeat stopped.Derek stirred a big commotion in the hospital.The doctor on duty called the police, and the door to the ward was almost broken. However, Selena still did not make a sound.When Mitchell arrived, Derek had already stopped.Mitchell called Eric, who was a little drunk and in a bad mood. Thus, Mitchell had to settle this himself.Looking at the smashed door, Mitchell looked solemn.The caregiver came out apprehensively.“Mr. Crawford.”“How is Ms. Nelson?”“She’s fine, but she do
There was a faint smile in the man’s eyes.Mitchell felt that Clayton was as sly as a fox. Clayton could see through everything but did not expose it.Eric was certainly at a loss.Mitchell felt sorry for his boss.He smiled awkwardly and said, “Since there’s nothing else, I’ll get going.”Clayton raised his eyebrows.“Sure. I can’t walk too much, so I won’t send you off. By the way, if you want to send me a gift next time, remember to send it to my office!”Mitchell was speechless and fled in despair.Anyway, that gift was already off his hands.After Mitchell left, Nicole came out of Grant’s office.She opened the door happily and looked at the man inside with a smile.“Let’s go?”Clayton raised his eyebrows. “You managed to ask for some time off?”Nicole nodded.She asked for some time off and left as soon as she did. If Grant had not appreciated her hard work during this time, he would never let her go on vacation.Clayton beckoned to her. “Come over and see if you l
