Kai’s words were blunt and unforgiving.He was poking Eric where it hurt most. The more Eric wanted to forget about the past, the more Kai wanted to take it out and stir it up.If Eric wanted to start over with Nicole, he had to take responsibility for his past actions. They could not let Eric off so easily.Kai looked at Eric coldly. He wanted to humiliate Eric viciously, but Eric really looked very pitiful.Eric looked like a dog that lost its home.Forget it.“You helped Nicole quite a few times, so she can’t even cut off all relations with you even if she wants to. Don’t blame me for not reminding you. If she decides to be with Clayton, you’d better not appear in front of her. Mr. Ferguson, you should at least give her this level of respect.”Kai glanced at Eric. Eric’s identity would not allow him to stalk or pester another man’s woman.In an instant, Eric’s jaw tightened, and his expression became extremely unpleasant.His eyes were dark and heavy as he turned around and
Eric’s pupils shrank fiercely while Clayton laughed.“Mr. Ferguson, she’s resting inside. You’d better not go in and disturb her.”It was more effective to hit where it hurt. Eric also had a weakness, which was Nicole.Clayton knew full well that Eric never gave up on Nicole, so Clayton wanted to take out their unpleasant past to remind Eric repeatedly that he did not deserve Nicole.Clayton considered himself a gentleman, but in the business world, chivalry was a demeanor practiced only by people at the top of the pyramid when they had nothing better to do.He came from the world of fame and fortune, so what had he not seen before?Eric’s previous surprise attack caught him off guard, but if Eric wanted to get him again, Clayton would officially take action.Clayton’s provocation made Eric feel agitated, so Eric did not hold back and punched Clayton heavily in the face. “What do you think you are?!”Clayton fell straight to the ground.He had lost too much blood, so he had no
Between Eric and Clayton, Nicole had unconsciously stood with the weaker side.In the past few days, the blood donation brought up a lot of Nicole’s unhappy memories.Eric was the last person Nicole wanted to see at this time, but he came anyway.He even came and beat up Clayton, the man who donated blood to her.Nicole was impressed by her good cultivation and restraint. If not for her crippled leg, she would have kicked Eric to death at that moment.She felt so frustrated because there was nowhere to vent her anger.Eric lowered his head and stared at her for a few seconds. He then avoided her furious gaze.He looked down at her leg that was in a cast with heartache.His voice was low and husky as he answered her question.“I came to see you, and I don’t need a reason to beat him up.”Eric was extremely arrogant.Nicole almost passed out from anger.This bastard’s self-confidence was really out of control.In the next second, Eric slowly bent his knee and knelt in front
Nicole’s words were a sharp warning to Eric.Nicole was not just disgusted by Wendy Quade, but also their three years of marriage.For a moment, Eric’s expression became extremely ugly. The corners of his lips were pressed into a straight line. His eyes were dark and heavy as he stared at her.Nicole lowered her eyes and took a deep breath. She restrained her trembling fingertips and spoke in a clear and cold tone.“Eric Ferguson, stop mentioning the past. I also don’t want to hear Wendy Quade’s name again. Changing my identity from a blood donor to someone who forces people to donate blood isn’t something to be proud of. My blood type is indeed special, but not to the point that I need to blackmail others to donate blood. I still have my principles of being human.”The corner of her lips curved into a mocking arc. Then, she pressed the button on her motorized wheelchair and retreated.“I’m going back to rest. Mr. Ferguson, I hope that I won’t need to see you again while I'm recu
Everyone asked about the full story of what happened.Nicole was helpless. She knew that if she did not satisfy their curiosity, they would not leave so easily. Thus, she had no choice but to tell them everything.Everyone trembled in fear as they listened. Fortunately, Nicole was no longer in danger.Yvette said, “Thank goodness for Clayton! We must thank him!”Julie said, “Yeah. Regardless of how he feels about you, he saved you, so you must thank him properly, but you should remain calm about other aspects.”Yvette looked at her, confused. “What aspect?”Julie was speechless and reminded her. “The emotional side of things, of course!”Anyone could see that Clayton’s attentiveness to Nicole exceeded the boundaries of a normal cross-gender friendship.However, if Clayton wanted to use this situation as a condition, then it meant that his character was questionable and forceful.Ian was left out and sighed. “We’re so good together back then. It’s still not too late now…”Nico
Several people went down one floor excitedly. When they reached the ward where Clayton was, everyone’s footsteps subconsciously lightened up.Nicole’s wheelchair was silent. The only sound that could be heard inside was the ticking of the medical instruments.Clayton was tired and was getting some shuteye. His complexion looked a lot better than before with a hint of rosiness, so he did not look as weak and pale as before.The five of them and a doctor formed a circle around the hospital bed and bent over to stare at Clayton carefully.They were staring at him unblinkingly as if they were looking for something.Except for Nicole and the doctor, everyone else was eager to chat with each other about how good-looking Clayton was.Compared with Eric, although Clayton’s features were not as stunning as Eric’s, his gentle character gave him extra points, enough to counteract Eric’s advantage.However, they could not talk and only exchanged glances with each other. They really held bac
Nicole was really just worried.It was an honest concern for Clayton.This accident made Nicole feel that she seemed to carry some prejudice against him before this. Nicole treated all suitors with an attitude of indifference.That was because of the inherent defensiveness from the unknown.However, this seemed futile on Clayton.Due to this car accident, the relationship between them changed discreetly.However, she could not pinpoint exactly what was different about it.Clayton tried hard to break the unfamiliarity between them. It was a struggle, but he was also clear that he could not let up.He wanted to take things further with her, and he wanted to take the initiative.Thus, Clayton was clear about every bit of change in Nicole’s attitude toward him.Hearing Nicole’s concern, Clayton felt a little lost, but he still pulled out a smile. “Then it’s worth it for me to get hurt.”Nicole’s smile stiffened slightly. Clayton once again spoke, “Did Mr. Ferguson tell you why
Clayton’s hint was clear enough.He was willing to accept such unfairness. If Nicole had even a slight liking for him, his unrequited love would not be in vain.However, Nicole was not like other women.Even if Clayton put in a hundred times more effort, Nicole would not necessarily be soft-hearted.Nicole was persuading him to give up on her, but it was impossible.It was so silent in the ward that a pin drop could be heard.Nicole’s chest felt heavy like a huge rock was pressing on her heart. Even her breathing became abnormally difficult.Looking at her torn expression as she was thinking about how to respond to his words, Clayton suddenly laughed.Clayton was most unwilling to put Nicole in a difficult position.“How about this? You can repay me with one condition.”Nicole raised her eyes and looked at him.Clayton pursed his lips. “You have to promise me that you won’t reject my existence in your life, and don’t reject the affection I show to you. You can always tell me
