The night sky was getting gloomier. When Nicole heard those words, she stopped in her tracks and suddenly felt her blood drain from her body. Keith's words stabbed into Nicole’s heart like a knife, which made her bleed profusely.
The scars Nicole tried her best to hide were uncovered, and she could no longer act as if nothing had happened.
She desperately wanted to forget those three years, but those people always had to remind her that her existence was worthless!
Kai sneered with an extremely dangerous tone as he said, "Keith Ludwig, are you even human?” 1
He knew that Nicole had a bad time while she was staying with the Fergusons those three years, but he did not know any details because his father did not allow them to inquire about Nicole. Thus, the Stanton brothers dared not touch this subject.
Now that a glimpse of Nicole’s past suffering was brought up, Keith's words instantly angered Kai. 'So, this is how the princess that we pampered and coddled all this while was treated?!’
Keith was silent for a moment, but taking care of Wendy Quade was Hendrick's dying wish, so of course, Wendy was more important.
"Are you gonna watch her die? It's just a little blood, so why are you so stingy? Besides, it's not the first time you gave blood to her, right, Nicole?"
Eric frowned and his face grew colder. "Keith..."
Hearing Keith's words, Nicole smiled and turned to look at him. Her eyes flashed with a determined ruthlessness.
She walked up and looked down at Wendy, who was lying in Eric’s arms, with the corners of her lips gently hooked.
"Mr. Ludwig, that's easy to say. It’s just a little blood, huh?"
Keith was stunned for a moment. His face paled and felt that something was wrong with Nicole, but he could not pinpoint it.
"Her life is at stake, so what’s a little blood?" Keith still argued. 'Did Nicole want Wendy to die?'
'Right... Compared to Wendy, what's my pint of blood worth? Shouldn’t I feel honored to be able to give my blood to her?'
