Was it Clayton?Angie shook her head.Nicole was stunned. “Eric?”Angie smiled and did not answer Nicole directly. She just looked at Nicole quietly.“I really envy you. Why does he always like you? He still can’t forget you even if you’re married and have a kid.”Nicole paused. She was speechless and felt like there was a lump of cotton in her throat.“Are you mistaken? I have nothing to do with him. So, you captured me here because of him?”Angie was silent for a moment.“Not completely.”Nicole was even more puzzled.Without any hesitation, Angie immediately changed the subject.“I heard that you gave birth to a daughter. Clayton should be very happy, huh?”Nicole glanced at Angie.She did not want to overthink this, but they were not familiar with each other, so why did Angie ask about Clayton specifically?Angie smiled. “They’re both fathers, but my son’s father doesn’t like him.”Nicole paused and looked up at her, only to realize that Angie was referring to Eric.

Eric’s face gradually turned cold.Everyone was waiting for Eric to make a choice.In fact, they just wanted to see his expression when he made that choice.That was because everyone knew who he would choose.It was just that Eric, who was so invincible with no weaknesses, had to give up the woman he loved repeatedly. That kind of hurt made Angie feel happy.Eric’s love was not worth mentioning at all.He abandoned Nicole time and time again. Was this not a form of self-torture?However, every time, he had to force himself to choose the correct answer.Every second he hesitated, Angie’s face became gloomier.“Do you still want to choose her? Since you’ve abandoned her before, why are you still hesitating this time? I’m much better than Caleb back then. He let her die, but I didn’t.”“Is there a difference?”Eric asked coldly.“What’s the difference between you, Caleb, and Tyler?”His eyes were so cold and gloomy that he could freeze others to death.Angie pursed her lips.

The captain continued to do first aid without stopping for a moment.Finally, Nicole moved.She coughed heavily and spat out the fluid in her abdomen.Nicole was saved.The captain heaved a sigh of relief and fell to the side.Clayton glanced at the captain with dark eyes.“Thank you.”He did not say anything more and put all his attention on Nicole.“Baby, wake up. You’re alright now. I’m right here…”Clayton said as he gently pressed his face against hers.It was as if he found some rare treasure.That kind of cautiousness was heartbreaking to see.The captain turned his face away.Having known Clayton for so long, the captain felt that this “thank you” was the most sincere gratitude from Clayton.Clayton never regarded them as friends but as subordinates.For the first time, the captain received Clayton’s heartfelt thanks.Clayton lowered his head, leaned over, and lay on Nicole’s shoulder.No one noticed that his tears fell onto Nicole’s neck.His tears were pipin

After a while, Nicole finally realized who “that woman” was referring to.Angie was the one who abducted her.Nicole pursed her lips and shook her head.The ruthlessness in Clayton’s eyes finally faded a little, and he quickly hid his emotions.Clayton touched Nicole’s wrist, which had gotten skinnier, and felt even more heartbroken.“That’s good. If she dares to hurt my baby, I’ll definitely get back at her.”Nicole was gratified to see Clayton like this. Perhaps she felt a strong attachment to him because she had just regained consciousness. She also felt aggrieved.“She has a big Tibetan Mastiff that’s really scary. No one can get past it.”Clayton’s eyes flickered. He smiled calmly and comforted her in a soft voice.“Really? Don’t be afraid. It’s all over now. You won’t see that beast again.”Nicole nodded and was not surprised.She would not go to that island again, nor would she go to any island ever again in the future because of her various harrowing experiences on i

When Clayton heard this, he frowned, nodded, and glanced at the bodyguard next to him with a grim expression.“Shane, take good care of Madam.”Shane nodded solemnly.“Yes, Mr. Sloan. You can rest assured.”Clayton followed the captain downstairs.They went down the steps and went into an elevator that led underground.Many hospitals in Erethea had bomb shelters underground, and some of them were hidden.Clayton brought his people over. There were many men dressed in black standing at the door.When they saw Clayton, they were extremely respectful and bowed their heads in unison.Clayton walked straight into the innermost room which was very dim.“Open the door.”The bodyguard next to him did not hesitate and immediately opened the door.Clayton entered the dark and damp room. The light overhead was swaying, and the vent was buzzing due to years of disrepair.The man inside curled up on the ground, but he still looked fierce.His bloodied body made him look wild and lifel
