The last thing Clayton wanted was to see Nicole suffer, but he was even more afraid that something would happen to her.
Thus, he did not want to take any risks.
When Nicole was with him, she was perfectly normal and was the same as before.
Clayton was afraid that something would happen to her while he was away.
Every time he saw the scars on her arm, he was heartbroken and reminded himself not to take it lightly.
He tried to act nonchalantly, and both of them tried their best to ignore the hidden dangers of depression.
However, he would not neglect it.
Nicole did not persist on this matter for too long and took over the glass of warm water. Clayton took the medicine for her and was relieved after he watched her take it.
Finally, he stroked her hair to express his appreciation and encouragement.
“What a good girl.”
He went out and put the glass away.
When Clayton came back, he casually told Nicole what Roland said in order to divert her attention.
Nicole was quite surprised by it.
“Interview? What kind of interview? Forget it if it’s entertainment news.”
Clayton smiled. “I think it’s an interview for the financial news network. But as a gimmick, they’ll most likely mention our private affair. That’s why I pushed it off.”
“Why push it? You haven’t shown your face in public after you come back. Why don’t you take this opportunity to be interviewed? Otherwise, everyone might still think you’re dead even with Ian’s photo if you don’t show up in person.”
Nicole was quite interested, so Clayton smiled and squeezed her hand.
“Okay. Will you come with me?”
“We’ll see when the time comes…”
Nicole had already decided to tag along. Just as well, Stanton Corporation’s new arrivals for the season were about to go on the market.
......
The next afternoon, in the hospital, Mitchell saw that the woman on the hospital bed was finally awake.
The doctor said that the patient would be out of danger if she could wake up.
Mitchell immediately reported her condition to Eric.
Due to Selena’s identity, Eric had no choice but to rush there in person.
In the ward, Selena bowed her head and ate in silence.
She could only have liquids. Even so, she was still struggling to eat.
Mitchell sat there and looked at her. In fact, she resembled someone he knew. She was good-looking and simple, but if he were to compare them, Selena was not as bright and astonishing as that woman.
Selena was about 50% to 60% similar to that woman.
Mitchell took a sip of water and licked his dry lips.
“Ms. Nelson, I just told you that your wound was caused by blunt force trauma. We’re not trying to shirk responsibility, but the doctor deduced that this car accident wouldn’t have caused such a serious injury. Did someone do something to you?”
Selena froze. Her pale face was somewhat indifferent and sharp:
“Just say it frankly if you don’t want to take responsibility. You don’t need to make so many excuses. I don’t lack the money for my medical expenses.”
Mitchell choked.
He suddenly felt that this woman was more eloquent than Nicole.
This way, Selena resembled Nicole even more.
Mitchell did not know what to say. At that moment, someone opened the door and came in.
Mitchell subconsciously stood up.
“President.”
Eric walked in and glanced coldly at the woman on the bed. Selena’s head was covered with gauze. Her face was pale and glum with some scratches on it.
Selena did not seem to care at all. She looked up at Eric, then lowered her head and continued to eat the porridge.
Eric glanced at Mitchell.
“How’s it going?”
