Clayton was driving Nicole crazy.
She burst into tears, sobbed softly, and finally conceded.
“Yes, I want you...”
The man’s eyes darkened. Nicole could not hold back or calm down because he was the person she loved.
Clayton immediately wanted to fulfill his wish, but Nicole suddenly gritted her teeth and said, “I want your life!”
He was slightly shocked. Then, he let out a low chuckle and said in a hoarse voice, “Okay, I’m here to die...”
Everything that followed was unexpected.
......
The sky darkened.
Nicole fell asleep from exhaustion. She did not even have the strength to move her fingers.
She had always known that Clayton had strong stamina, but she never thought that he was so energetic. Was he even human?
Did he always hide his desire from her back then?
He had such a hidden strength.
Nicole soon fell asleep. She was drowsy as if she had taken some sleeping pills.
It was addictive.
Clayton lay beside her with his arms propped up. His face was relaxed.
He looked at her for a long time before he went to the bathroom to wash up.
Then, he wiped her down with a warm towel. Nicole slept soundly and did not move.
His gaze landed on the bottles of medicine on the bedside table, and his eyes darkened.
His face became tense again. Then, he got dressed and limped to the door to get his cane.
He felt an unbearable pain on his forehead, but compared to this moment, he felt that he should endure it.
After a few rounds of “workout”, Clayton’s energy was exhausted, but he was extremely sober.
The drunkenness disappeared.
Clayton picked up the cane that was on the ground and looked at everything familiar in the house. He finally felt that he was home.
He was just about to find his cup to get a drink, but it was neither on the bar nor the table.
Clayton glanced around and suddenly saw the broken glass on the floor.
That cup came in a pair. Nicole’s cup was still placed on the table, but his cup was already smashed to pieces.
Clayton froze slightly.
His chest was a little congested as unspeakable emotions surged. This caught him off guard.
Nicole broke the cup just before he arrived.
Nothing else was touched besides the shattered cup. This showed how angry and unreconciled she was!
Clayton seemed to be frozen in place. He sat there and looked at the shattered cup without moving a muscle.
He dared not think what would happen if he did not come today. Would they have no future together?
Nicole had been waiting for him to go to her.
However, his hesitation and cowardice hurt her repeatedly.
At that moment, Clayton suddenly thought of her psychiatrist’s words.
Malcolm asked him to pay attention to her condition when he was in the hospital.
Was being emotional and smashing things a symptom?
Even though Clayton felt that he should not overthink this, he felt like it was better to be on the safe side since Nicole’s condition was unique.
Thus, he took out his phone and called Malcolm.
Malcolm picked it up. “Hello?”
