The Deserted Rich Beauty (Nicole and eric) novel Chapter 2263

The female patient was just as calm as Nicole. She laughed, exchanged pleasantries, and mingled like a normal person.

There was nothing unusual, but her arms were full of self-inflicted scars.

It was shocking.

That was why the psychiatrist called Nicole right away.

It was not that he had never seen such patients before. He was just worried that some patients would make themselves seem better than they were to mislead him.

He would misunderstand that they were going in a good direction, but in fact, their condition could be worse.

The psychiatrist panicked when he did not hear Nicole’s response.

“Ms. Stanton, you...”

Nicole coughed and finally spoke.

Her voice was nonchalant, somewhat hoarse, and steady.

“Sorry, I was replying to an email just now. Don’t worry. I’m fine. I know my body. After this trip, I’ll contact you when I return to Mediania. We can talk about it later, okay?”

The psychiatrist felt that it was strange and kept silent.

He was suspicious.

Was Nicole just pretending to be normal?

But her attitude of actively seeking medical treatment was a good thing.

Or was he overthinking it?

“Okay, but before that, if anything happens, you should tell me right away. Ms. Stanton, I’m a qualified doctor and will keep things between us confidential. Please trust me.”

Nicole’s attitude changed slightly as she responded solemnly, “I trust you.”

After she hung up the phone, she stared out the window blankly.

The walls were covered with lush green vines.

From where she was, she could vaguely see the sparkling surface of the lake nearby.

Thinking of what the doctor said, Nicole subconsciously touched her arm.

Then, she quickly let go of her arm in a panic as if she was afraid of being noticed.

Soon after, she went to the bathroom to wash up as if nothing had happened.

Later, Nicole went downstairs to play with Chatty and Fischer for a while and waited for Kai to come back before she went to bed.

Everything was orderly and peaceful.

9:00 pm.

The sky was dark.

The whole city fell into a dead silence.

Luca drove Nicole to the pier.

He did not ask any questions. Since Nicole said she wanted to come, he came with her.

The pier was as quiet as usual.

The surface of the sea was reflecting a dim light. It looked like a dormant monster that could devour everything at any time.

Nicole had an ominous feeling, and her heart beat violently as she stood there.

Perhaps it was because she was going to see Clayton soon, she could not suppress the surging excitement in her heart.

At the same time, an inconspicuous car was parked not far away.

There was no light in the car, and it looked abandoned.

However, the moment Nicole got out of the car, the person in the car also got out.

It was Leighton.

Luca stood there and looked at Nicole.

Nicole’s voice was calm as she said, “You can wait here. Don’t tell anyone about our mission.”

“Miss, it’ll be dangerous, so I’ll go with you.”

Luca could vaguely feel that something was off tonight.

Just as Nicole was about to refuse, Leighton came to them and said, “It’s dangerous, so it’s better to have another person to protect you. That way we don’t have to focus our manpower on you.”

Luca nodded with a stern expression.

Nicole pursed her lips and accepted it.

She did not see Camille.

Sure enough, just as Camille told her, Leighton did not allow Camille to go.

Leighton glanced at Luca, took out a pocket pistol from his back, and handed it over.
