The Deserted Rich Beauty (Nicole and eric) novel Chapter 2322

Nicole glanced at Clayton angrily and could not help but gently push him. However, she was weak and had no strength.

Her behavior was like a young girl flirting with her boyfriend.

Clayton looked gentle and warm. He touched her cheek and looked at the glass of warm water that had cooled. His gaze deepened as he said, “Come on, take your meds first.”

Nicole was stunned, her face turned pale.

She glanced at him in surprise. Clayton turned around and picked up the bottles of medicine on the table. He looked carefully and said, “You can stare at me after you take them.”

Nicole’s pale face looked a little fragile and evasive.

“When did you find out?”

Clayton’s gaze deepened.

“When I came back, I asked Roland to investigate, but Malcolm King didn’t leak any information. You were still in the hospital, and he notified me to go over and told me to watch you take your meds in the future.”

Nicole felt suffocated for a moment. But she soon smiled as if nothing was wrong.

“I’m not like this because of you. Don’t think that you’re so important.”

“Okay.”

Clayton touched her hair gently.

“It’s my fault. I came back too late. You’ll be fine. We’ll both be fine.”

After hearing this, Nicole suddenly had the urge to cry.

She went through an emotional roller coaster today, and she could barely restrain herself.

However, she grasped onto her last bit of reason.

Clayton took out her medicine according to the instructions. Nicole was obedient and swallowed the pills with water.

Usually, Nicole would only take her medication when she remembered to, so she was not disciplined.

Now that Clayton was around, Nicole suddenly felt that her depression was not as bad anymore.

A lot of people suffer from depression, but the causes and symptoms were different for everyone.

Nicole could not be invincible all the time.

She looked up at him. Clayton took a deep look at her and smiled.

“I’m going to take a shower.”

Although he showered in the afternoon and still smelled nice, he was cooking in the kitchen for a while. He was a germaphobe, which prevented him from going to bed like this.

Nicole pursed her lips in disappointment. However, she could not stop him. She turned around, went to bed, and read a magazine intently.

Clayton smiled. He did not have that kind of reassuring feeling in a long time.

He thought that he would be wandering abroad for the rest of his life.

Fortunately, he came back.

Nicole was tense as she listened to the sounds coming from the bathroom the entire time Clayton was inside.

She was afraid that his legs would fail and he would fall to the ground.

Fortunately, that did not happen.

He took a shower and came out, smelling the same as her.

When Clayton came out again, he only had a bath towel wrapped around his waist with drops of water on his body.

His strong abdominal muscles and lean waist came into view just like that. Nicole could also see the scratch marks she left on his body.

Nicole was a little surprised that Clayton appeared like this. Her cheeks were flushed, and her ears turned red.

However, her gaze quickly landed on his leg.

Clayton did not hold a cane, so he limped over to her. His face was stoic, and he looked like he was holding back something.

Nicole’s eyes flickered slightly. Clayton’s normal leg was as strong as ever, with smooth lines and no trace of fat.

His other leg had a few scars from the several surgeries he had, and it was a lot thinner than the normal leg.

This parallax made Nicole feel as if someone had thrown a boulder at her chest.

Her heart was crushed.

Nicole sat there and stared at him blankly. Her eyes slowly turned red.
