The Deserted Rich Beauty (Nicole and eric) novel Chapter 2061

The director was stunned for a moment and had some doubts.

Clayton explained. "This spells trouble for the hospital. If word gets out that a patient jumped off the hospital building, what will happen to the hospital's credibility?"

He did not continue the rest, but the director understood in an instant.

If Eric came forward, this matter would be resolved faster.

He just had some doubts. With Clayton's and Nicole's background and influence, it would not be difficult to cover up this matter.

Why did they want to involve Eric into this?

The director could not figure it out, so he stopped thinking about it.

Since Clayton pointed him in a direction, the director had no choice but to do as told.

Clayton and Nicole stood up.

Nicole pursed her lips. "What did the police conclude on their investigation at the crime scene? Were there any signs of struggle?"

The director paused and nodded.

Nicole's heart sank slightly. She understood in an instant.

It was no wonder the police dared to investigate the cause of death with such fanfare, rather than simply concluding the case as a suicide.

If there were signs of struggle, it meant that Tina resisted before her death.

This was murder.

The two of them declined the director’s offer to send them off and left silently, holding hands.

The floor where Tina's accident happened was sealed off.

The patients were moved to the floor below.

There were a lot of people in the hospital, and there were more people in the elevator.

The elevator stopped just in time for someone to enter while they were inside.

Clayton helplessly protected Nicole in his arms, but those old people squeezed inside the crowded elevator anyway.

Just like that, Nicole and Clayton were pushed out of the elevator.

Nicole took a deep breath. Clayton laughed and moved his arm.

"I didn't expect those old people to be so energetic."

Nicole sighed. "They're used to squeezing into public transport!"

Clayton would not get into that elevator again.

"Why don't we take the stairs?"

Nicole also agreed.

The two of them were walking toward the entrance of the stairway when Nicole suddenly felt something soft >f->UJS< cool touching her hand.

Nicole was startled and turned back immediately.

She froze in place.

"Hey, it's you..."

It was Chance, Eric's son.

Clayton looked over. His eyes darkened slightly. He frowned and looked at Chance in displeasure.

Chance raised his head. His tender face was morbidly pale, and he looked very pitiful.

However, his eyes were crystal clear and tinted with a hint of joy because of Nicole’s presence.

Chance pursed his lips and smiled at Nicole.

He recognized her as the beautiful woman who rescued him from the fire.

Chance called out for a long time, but no one saved him.

There were others who went over that day, but only this woman in front of him went to save him.

Chance was the son that Eric disliked, so everyone coaxed him superficially, but they secretly did not like him.

That was because Eric would not reward anyone for taking good care of Chance, so why bother?

This was what Chance overheard from the servants in the Ferguson Villa.

Chance thought he was going to die in the fire, but this woman saved him.

Nicole breathed a sigh of relief and looked at him with a smile.

"Chance, where's your family? Why did you run out here? I heard that you’re sick..."

Although Nicole did not like Eric, the child in front of her was really pitiful.

No matter how rude she was, she could not treat a sick child coldly.

Clayton stood there, narrowed his eyes, and pulled Nicole back.

Her hand was separated from the child’s.

The child blinked in disappointment and looked hurt.
