The Deserted Rich Beauty (Nicole and eric) novel Chapter 988

Since they established their relationship, Clayton constantly contacted Nicole.

Clayton told her to eat well, to remember to rest, to drink less coffee...

Sometimes, when Nicole saw them, she would reply. However, when she was busy, she would simply ignore them.

Despite that, Clayton never got angry. He sent messages almost once every five minutes.

Somewhere along the line, she had gotten used to it.

Nicole frowned when she looked at the quiet phone.

When she opened up their chatlog, she saw that their conversations always started because he initiated them.

She typed a few words into the chatbox. "Are you busy"

Thinking about it, she deleted it.

It was better to call directly.

A few seconds later, the call was answered.

"Pretty Lady, I missed you so much..."

It was sweet Lil Michael!

Nicole smiled. "I missed you too. Why did you answer

Lil Michael grunted and spoke hesitantly.

"Daddy got beaten up and has a fever now. He's gonna die!"

Nicole was shocked and paused, thinking she misheard.

"He was beaten up?"

Lil Michael said, "Mhmm... He was beaten up so badly that he almost stopped breathing!"

Nicole's heart thumped. It was no wonder Clayton did not contact her all day.

She immediately panicked and blamed herself for not asking about his condition earlier.

Lil Michael sat next to Clayton and tried to stuff a pill into Clayton's mouth, but he was unsuccessful no matter how he tried.

Nicole took a few steps over and could not hide the worry in her eyes.

She frowned at the man lying there. His face was weak and pale, and his lips looked completely devoid o f blood.

Most alarmingly, the right side of his face was slightly swollen and dark red. It was a bruise from a punch, and there were also a few traces of blood that had not been cleaned up at the corner of his mouth.

It was very shocking.

Clayton had always been a nice and gentle person as i f a gust of wind could blow him away.

Nicole's heart suddenly throbbed. She stopped Lil Michael’s hand from continuing to stuff medicine into Clayton's mouth.

It was clear that his lips had been tortured beyond recognition.

Lil Michael looked at her in surprise, and Nicole made a gesture for him to stay quiet.

Then, she stroked Lil Michael's head. "Go wait outside. I'll check on your daddy."

Lil Michael hesitated for a moment before agreeing to i t.
