Chapter 390 He’s Gone
Nicole did not reply to any of the messages. She washed up, applied a face mask, and looked more refreshed.Floyd waited for her to eat dinner downstairs. He watched as his daughter ate and sighed in relief when she finished a bowl of soup.He hesitated and said, “Lil N, you don’t need to feel pressured by this…”Nicole flashed a relaxed smile.“I know. I’ll be fine. Eric’s life is no longer in danger. I’ll slowly pay him back for everything that I owe him. As for the rest, I don’t want to talk about it now…”Anyhow, Nicole was unable to hate him as much as before.However, the idea of being together… This fleeting thought flashed in her head, but she waved it away.Nicole only hoped that Eric would be fine.The entanglement between them was too deep. It was unclear who owed the other more.Floyd nodded in satisfaction. He was glad that his daughter had it figured out.He raised his hand and beckoned for a tall and burly man in a black suit and sunglasses who looked very fier
Chapter 391 Burn You
Mitchell sucked in a cold breath at Nicole’s words, not knowing how to answer.However, the person lying on the bed pretending to be a corpse could no longer hold back and got up in the next second.“You want to cremate me so soon?!”Eric’s chest was heaving violently, but no one knew if it was because of suffocation or anger.He finally woke up after surviving a car crash, but he almost died from anger because of Nicole!When Eric woke up, Mitchell described how worried and desperate Nicole had been in vivid detail.Eric felt a vigor in his body again. ‘Looks like I didn’t get injured for nothing!’Unfortunately, he could not see for himself how sad Nicole had been for him.Thus, Eric came up with the idea of playing dead.‘Maybe I can take this opportunity to get back together with her…’However, Nicole only asked about his funeral arrangements as soon as she saw him “dead”.Eric could not endure it.Nicole stood there with a calm expression, looking at him with her arms
Chapter 392 Taking Care of Him by His Side
Before Nicole could leave, the hem of her shirt was tugged.Eric sat on the hospital bed and leaned forward. It took a lot of effort for him to tug on her shirt.Inadvertently, he pulled the muscles on his right leg. His face turned pale, and the pain caused him to break out in cold sweat.Nicole was startled and hurriedly went forward. “What’s wrong?”Eric lowered his head and endured the pain. The veins in his temples were bulging.It was clear how much pain he was in.“Call a doctor!” Nicole looked at Mitchell.Mitchell froze before hurrying out.Eric could not bear to see Nicole this worried.He lifted his arm and gently touched her head.Nicole froze, but she did not flinch for fear of him tearing his wound.“I’m fine. It doesn’t hurt…” His voice was husky and incoherent, but he still gave her a soothing smile.Nicole’s heart trembled slightly. She knew that he must be in a lot of pain.In less than a minute, a team of doctors came.Six experts did a checkup on Eric.
Chapter 393 The Madam is Back
Nicole wanted to go back to pack her things and tell her father and brothers about this at the same time.Eric immediately told Mitchell to start with the discharge procedures so that he could recuperate at home.His injured self was even more energetic than usual.Mitchell completed the discharge procedures and had someone clean up the home at Imperial Gardens.Eric went around in his wheelchair to check the cleanliness of the house.He looked through every nook and cranny.The nanny, Lucy, was around since before the divorce. Eric thought that Nicole was used to Lucy, so he did not dismiss her.Lucy stood there trembling as she received Eric’s cold and critical eyes.“Are the Madam’s belongings still here?”Lucy stammered, “Y-Yes, they’re all here. You said not to throw any of Madam’s things away.”Eric nodded in satisfaction and turned to instruct Mitchell.“Get the major brands to send some clothes over and replace all those out-of-season clothes, shoes, and bags in the
Chapter 394 Your Room
Lucy was shocked and frightened by the fierce Luca and subconsciously took a step backward.“W-Who are you?”Luca had no intention of introducing himself. He pushed the door open and cleared the way for Nicole as he said in a gruff and loud voice, “Miss, after you…”Nicole walked in expressionlessly without the intention to reminisce with the nanny.After all, Lucy was just a spy for the Fergusons.Nicole ignored the nanny’s shocked and nervous eyes and strutted inside.The sound of her high heels against the hardwood floor was crisp and pleasant. As soon as she entered the living room, she saw Eric sitting in a wheelchair in light gray loungewear. His face still had a sickly pallor, and his facial lines were cold and defined.His right leg was wrapped in a cast, which made him look weak. The cold and stern aura around him was not as aggressive as usual.The moment he saw Nicole enter, his eyes lit up. He clutched the sides of his wheelchair.Even his voice became gentle and r
Chapter 395 Take Care of You
The house in Imperial Gardens had two floors and was spacious and bright.There was an elevator connecting both floors, so it did not hinder Eric’s movements in his wheelchair.Nicole went upstairs and glanced at the room.Sure enough, everything was the same as when she left. It looked like no time had passed since the last time she was here.However, those memories only made her feel depressed, dull, and breathless.It was as if a huge rock was pressing down on her chest, so heavy that it crushed her bones and organs.Nicole used to love sitting on the balcony chair, looking forward to Eric’s car suddenly appearing at the gates.However, Eric never showed up.Eric had never been in her room before, but all she could remember was him.She was so miserable back then.Nicole curled up her lips indifferently. She casually pulled over a trash can and swept everything on the table into it.The dressing was attached to her bedroom. When she opened the door and went inside, everyt
Chapter 396 Granting Every Wish
The air was stagnant for a moment.Eric knew that he was pushing his luck, but if he did not try, how would he know if it was possible?Nicole paused for a moment. She looked at him with her hand propping up her chin. The corners of her lips curled up in a pretty arc.However, her voice was rational and indifferent as she spoke with a vague smile.“Did you break your arm too?”Her smile did not reach her eyes, yet it was impossible to hate her.Eric saw that Nicole was not angry, so his smile deepened. He immediately smiled self-deprecatingly.His voice was low and regretful.“Are you abandoning me so soon? Can’t you even do this for me?”Nicole’s eyebrows twitched slightly. ‘What the hell was wrong with him? If he wasn’t injured, I’d just drop him like a hot potato! Why should I stay here and watch him put on a show? His acting is horrendous!’She turned away and exhaled heavily. ‘Don’t get angry… Just bear with it!’In the next second, Luca stepped forward and picked up th
Chapter 397 You’re Sick
The tatami was spacious and the lighting in the room was perfect.Nicole pushed Eric’s wheelchair over as she thought to herself, ‘He really has so many problems!’“What else do you need?”Eric said, “I don’t wanna sit here. I wanna sit over there. It’s more comfortable there.”He did not want to be in a wheelchair.Nicole paused and frowned, then told him frankly, “I can’t lift you.”Not unless he wanted to be disabled for life!Nicole thought that Eric was deliberately being nitpicky.Eric helplessly propped himself up on the wheelchair and made a gesture to stand up. All his strength was concentrated on his left leg.He wanted to move over a little, but a small action like this caused sweat to seep from his forehead.Nicole frowned tightly. Her reflexes were faster than her thoughts as she lunged forward to support the man who was about to fall.All of his weight was pressed on her. Her thin waist tightened as her breathing grew heavy.When she looked to the side, she sa
