The Deserted Rich Beauty (Nicole and eric) novel Chapter 266

When Eric opened his eyes and saw the familiar furnishings around him, he sat up in shock. He was about to rip off the needle stuck in his arm and leave.

"Where are you going?!"

Old Master Ferguson's face was red with anger. His aged voice was imposing and forceful.

The butler and servants at Eric's sides stopped him. N o one dared to speak for a moment.

Eric’s expression became nasty as he spoke with a firm tone.

"I'm going to look for Nicole..."

"She's already dead!"

Old Master Ferguson's words hit Eric like a bolt of thunder out of nowhere. Everyone already knew that, but Eric was still in denial.

Those words suddenly touched the deepest reality buried in his heart.

Eric felt like a deer in headlights.

That taut nerve pulled and snapped.

He looked up with bloodshot eyes, his face tight and cold.

"She's not dead. She won't die like that!"

His voice was surprisingly cold.

'How could I leave Nicole alone in the sea? No matter what, I must take her home!'

Eric stood up and was just about to walk out, but Old Master Ferguson immediately shot the butler a look. The butler came forward with the servants and pinned the frail Eric firmly in his bed.

"Young Master, your body hasn't recovered yet..."

"Get out of the way!"

Eric’s voice was icy like a winter night.

Old Master Ferguson frowned in dissatisfaction.

"I know that you’ve always felt that our family owes that girl. If she's alive, I won't stop you from doing things for her, but she’s already dead. There's no need t o throw away your life for her. Do you want our entire family to be buried with her? Do you know what kind o f rumors were flying around outside while you were searching for her during this period? Our family is becoming a joke!"

"I don’t care! She's not dead. I have to find her!"

The air was silent and cold.

They did not dare to leave without permission, but they were also afraid that Eric would fight back.

Everyone could feel the crushing grief that Eric's body exuded.

That kind of sadness and despair overflowed from his bones, which even made the surrounding people feel his deep sorrow.

Eric suddenly shrunk into a ball. A trace of vulnerability and remorse crossed his firm and weathered face.

"I regret it, Nicole... I regret the divorce...” 2

Old Master Ferguson, who had walked to the door, suddenly froze. He looked back at Eric with a complicated expression.

The room was silent, and everyone breathed carefully.

They had never seen Eric like this before. Eric Ferguson had always been confident and proud. He was an invincible legend.

However, just one woman could make him bow down and admit defeat. She even made him admit his regrets...

It was clear that this woman was more important to him than life itself...
