The Divorced Billionaire Heiress novel Chapter 2271

Chapter 2271 Kai Is Angry

Kai came into the room and waved his hand in front of Nicole's face.

"Do you remember me?”

He heard that Nicole was badly concussed, so he was afraid that she would become a fool.

That was what Kai had been worried about.

Nicole blinked. “No...”

Kai's face turned pale. "Leighton..."

Leighton coughed and came in.

"I see you can't take a joke, huh?"

Kai was taken aback.He suddenly realized that Leighton was making fun of him.

Kai looked at Nicole's face again only to see her sly smile that was not one bit confused or unfamiliar.He suddenly realized that he had been pranked.

That little liar!

"If you weren't still on that hospital bed, I would've beaten you up!" Kai spoke harshly.

Eric said calmly on the side. "Kai has been worried about you. You're lucky that you can wake up again.”

Nicole smiled and suddenly thought of something.

"Where's Luca?"

Kai pursed his lips. "Luca is fine. He just has some superficial wounds and a lung infection. You guys are really lucky. More than half of the people who escaped before you guys died. Thank God you're alive!"

Nicole's lips stiffened, and she looked up at Eric.

"Mr. Ferguson, have you been here all this time?"

Eric smiled, but it did not reach his eyes. He kept silent.

Kai spoke from the side, "Mr. Ferguson helped US a lot. If it weren't for him, you would've drowned or been eaten by the fish. He showed up in time and rescued you."

He reached out and patted Eric's shoulder, then looked at Nicole and said,” Sis, you should really thank Mr. Ferguson for this time."

Nicole was a little surprised. She looked at Eric with a somewhat complicated gaze.

‘‘Thanks.”

Nicole knew that she owed him more.She was surprised that the person who saved her this time was Eric.

However, this was also within her expectations.Eric pursed his lips.

"No worries. I'm glad that you're alive.”

His gaze was complicated as he looked at her. Then, he looked at his watch.

"Alright. You guys can talk. I need to do some work nearby. I'll see you later"

Nicole nodded.She held back the question that she had been dying to ask.

As soon as Eric left, Kai realized that something was wrong.

‘That's strange. The first few days that you were rescued, Eric stayed here almost every day. As your condition improved, he didn't come as often. Since when did Eric become so restrained and humble?"

Nicole pursed her lips.

‘Third Brother, how did Eric save US?"

Kai looked at Leighton.

Leighton paused.

"I was also very surprised. He was afraid that our operation would fail and you would be in danger, so he contacted the lifeboat and rescue team early on. He also got a lot of people to search the nearby waters. Several of my colleagues were rescued by him. We're lucky that he was there. Ms. Stanton, when I was down here, I didn't have time to look after you and put you in danger. I'm sorry."
