The Deserted Rich Beauty (Nicole and eric) novel Chapter 2190

Eric saved her, but it did not mean that he could stop Nicole from doing what she wanted.

In the dark, Eric’s expression froze. His eyes gradually turned deeper and darker, so much so that no emotions could be seen from them.

“Nicole, objectively speaking, you’re a woman, so your physical strength and endurance can’t compare to these professionals. If there are aftershocks, and you get into an accident, we’ll have to assign more people to take care of you. Don’t you think this will delay more time in saving Clayton?”

The light was dim. Moreover, Nicole’s thoughts had already flown away.

Thus, she did not notice the worry and tension in Eric’s eyes at this time.

Nicole was silent for a few seconds and seemed to be looking in a certain direction in the distance.

Just when Eric thought she had compromised, she said in a drawn-out voice, “That’s great then. There’s no need to save me.”

Eric’s heart seemed to be twisted viciously that it was so painful.

Did Nicole like Clayton that much?

That feeling made Eric feel suffocated.

He was really helpless.

Just when the two were at an impasse, the person on the side said, “Ms. Stanton, since you want to go, you can tag along, but you can’t wander around. Otherwise, we’ll get distracted from trying to take care of you. You can also participate in the rescue if you follow the team.”

Nicole nodded and strode forward.

Eric looked at that person with cold eyes.

The man paused and lowered his tone.

“Mr. Ferguson, I’ve encountered many such situations. It’s very rare for family members to remain calm in these kinds of situations. If you don’t let her go there in person, she won’t be able to sleep well for a few nights. Let her go so she’ll sleep soundly when she’s tired. By then, everything will be over.”

Eric felt his throat dry up. He felt uncomfortable.

He took the flashlight from the man’s hand.

“I’ll follow her. You guys do your own thing.”

“Yes, Mr. Ferguson.”

Eric paused for a moment and quickly caught up to Nicole.

Nicole followed the search and rescue team in front and saw them digging around the crack with a hoe.

She was a little puzzled.

The rescue personnel explained, “During an earthquake, people may have fallen into the crack, so we won’t be able to find them on the surface. I’ll dig it out to see if there are any clothes or personal belongings.”

Nicole turned pale and nodded.

The flashlight reflected on her face, which turned bloodless.

Nicole continued to walk forward and listened to the people in front lifting a big tree.

“It’s tragic. I heard that when they found those two people in the afternoon, they were all bloody and their faces were beyond recognition. Their limbs were separated from their bodies and fell dozens of meters apart.”

“Right?! I heard that they fell on a rock halfway down the mountain first. That’s how they lost half of their heads.”

“Sigh… There are still two who are missing. I hope that they can have complete bodies at least!”

“What a pity… I haven’t encountered this kind of situation in years!”

……

Nicole’s body swayed. Just when she was about to fall, the man behind her supported her.

“Be careful.”

Hearing Eric’s voice, Nicole regained consciousness. She felt less suffocated.

“Thank you.”

Eric let go of his hand in time.

“You’re welcome. Since you don’t believe me, then look for him properly.”

Nicole gulped and nodded. “Thank you.”

She thanked him again for his help.

If it was not for Eric, she would have to go through a lot of trouble to find someone from her family to help out.

Unexpectedly, Eric helped her without saying a word.

The sky gradually darkened.

They could also vaguely hear the ear-splitting cries from above. Those cries represented the deep affection for their loved ones who passed away suddenly.

Who would have thought that a natural disaster would strike so suddenly?

That night was unforgettable.

Nicole walked forward with a flashlight. The mountains seemed endless as if they would never reach the end.
