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.

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

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

“Mr. Ferguson ordered me not to go upstairs and disturb them. Ms. Stanton is treating him coldly, but I think she’s faking it. She’s just playing hard to get…”The nanny, Lucy, deliberately lowered her voice.“Click—” The kitchen suddenly lit up.Lucy stood up in shock and dropped the phone to the ground in a panic.At the moment the screen dimmed, Nicole saw the name on it.Madam Ferguson.‘So… She’s on the phone with Quinn…’ Nicole thought.Lucy shuddered and looked at Nicole with panic in her eyes, stumbling over her words.“M-Ms. Nicole, w-what are you doing here?”Nicole swept her an indifferent glance. Her eyes were dark and sunken without a trace of warmth.She went over to take the carton of milk, poured it into a glass, and left.Lucy picked up the phone with trembling hands and suddenly felt a little flustered when she looked at Nicole’s back.Nicole went upstairs while drinking the milk. She had already finished the glass by the time she reached the door of the s

“The most outrageous thing is that she even forgot to give Mr. Ferguson his medicine yesterday and made him take double the dose this morning! She must be trying to kill him. That woman is simply too vicious. She probably wants to take revenge on him… Madam, if that woman marries into the family again, she’ll surely bring trouble!”......Eric’s expression changed abruptly. His originally surprised and happy look was gradually replaced by coldness and gloom. A sharp and dangerous haze seemed to coat his face.He did not say anything, but his fingers clutching the wheelchair began to turn white. The veins on his arms bulged as he held himself back.Nicole sat calmly on the steps as if she was listening to some gossip that had nothing to do with her. There was even a faint but cold smile on her face.Her calmness was like a knife that gouged out his heart little by little.Eric thought that by bringing her back, he would be able to make her forget about the ugly past and make some
