At this time, Clayton's face was solemn and glum.
Clayton exuded a chill and was inexplicably frightening.
This was not just vigilance for someone trespassing their property. It was more likely to be a provocation.
The result was out.
Clayton and Nicole left the hospital.
Clayton did not drive them back to the apartment but went straight to a hotel.
Nicole was a little surprised.
Clayton smiled and comforted her. "The apartment isn't safe anymore. This hotel has the highest security. I lived here when I just arrived in Mediania. You'll have to put up with staying here for a few days, okay?”
Nicole pursed her lips. "What about you?"
"I'll be with you."
Clayton smiled and pulled her hand to lead her out of the car. He rubbed his palm against hers to softly comfort her.
"Don’t worry. I'll get someone to protect you at all times."
They let down their guard because Tyler was arrested, but what they have to worry about now were people who were more sinister than Tyler.
Clayton’s face remained calm, but his heart was as cold as ice.
It was already midnight.
Nicole fell asleep as soon as she touched the bed.
Clayton held her in his arms after he washed up and gently touched her head.
It was only through the dim yellow light that he suddenly saw something. His face instantly turned cold and stern.
Perhaps because of the angle, he did not notice it before, but there were two bruised finger marks on her neck, as if someone had strangled Nicole.
However, it was not noticeable if he did not look closely.
Clayton was more experienced with marks on people's bodies. Thus, when he saw the bruise, he did not think that it was a shadow or dirt. It was finger marks!
His eyes instantly turned gloomy.
Clayton turned over and got out of bed.
He went outside, took out a first-aid kit, and gently smeared ointment on the bruise.
Nicole slept soundly. She only frowned and did not wake up.
Clayton had no intention of sleeping until the latter part of the night.
Early in the morning, Nicole was still not awake.
He stood on the balcony of the living room > h+=TKR; was on the phone.
"Go and watch Angie's movements carefully. Are you sure she hasn't left?"
"Don’t let go of the slightest detail.”
The sunlight spilled through the curtains, and Nicole woke up with sleepy eyes.
She looked at the unfamiliar place and was stunned for a few seconds.
Then, she remembered what happened last night and immediately got up and ran out.
However, she bumped into someone when she ran to the door.
Nicole covered her nose and was about to cry. Her nose was so sore.
Clayton laughed. His voice was smooth and pleasant.
"What's the hurry? Does it hurt?"
Nicole snorted lightly. She was in a daze.
She took a breath and felt better.
'Why did you stand here?"
Clayton was messing around so early in the morning.
He smiled and said, "Should I hire a plastic surgeon for you?"
"Are you dissatisfied with my nose?"
Clayton laughed. "No way. I’m just afraid that it's broken."
Nicole let go of her nose, put her arms around his thin and strong waist, and sighed.
"I always have a feeling that something's wrong..."
"Don't think too much about it. Didn't you want to go to the office today? I heard Big Brother say that Luke Youngblood has something new to show?"
Clayton's words suddenly made Nicole feel as excited and energetic.
What was more important than making money?
Nicole let go of Clayton, touched her messy hair, and coquettishly said, "But my clothes aren’t here...'
Clayton sighed and pointed to the other room.
"I got people to deliver your things early in the morning. Go try it. By the way, the bodyguard I arranged for you will look for you today. He’ll protect you when I’m not around."
Nicole nodded and asked casually, "Male or female?”
