The Deserted Rich Beauty (Nicole and eric) novel Chapter 989

Only the two of them were left in the room, but Nicole could barely hear Clayton’s breathing.

Nicole pursed her lips. For some reason, she felt her nose sting.

She reached out to touch Clayton’s forehead and found that it was indeed burning up.

Just as she was about to retract her hand, a hand suddenly pulled hers.

Nicole jumped.

His large hand was hot, just like his body temperature.

Clayton struggled to open his eyes. His gaze was warm as he comforted her.

Clayton looked very conflicted as he hesitated.

Nicole stood up. "How many enemies do you have here? It's either Isaac or Eric. I'll ask them both..."

Clayton hurriedly pulled her wrist.
