Nicole’s words were a sharp warning to Eric.
Nicole was not just disgusted by Wendy Quade, but also their three years of marriage.
For a moment, Eric’s expression became extremely ugly. The corners of his lips were pressed into a
straight line. His eyes were dark and heavy as he stared at her.
Nicole lowered her eyes and took a deep breath. She restrained her trembling fingertips and spoke in a
clear and cold tone.
“Eric Ferguson, stop mentioning the past. I also don’t want t o hear Wendy Quade’s name again.
Changing my identity from a blood donor to someone who forces people to donate blood isn’t something
to be proud of. My blood type is indeed special, but not to the point that I need to blackmail others to
donate blood. I still have my principles of being human.”
The corner of her lips curved into a mocking arc. Then, she pressed the button on her motorized
wheelchair and retreated.
“I’m going back to rest. Mr. Ferguson, I hope that I won’t need to see you again while I’m recuperating
from my injuries, so I’ll heal faster.”
Nicole turned around and went into the ward, not even noticing how unpleasant Eric’s face had become.
She only wanted Eric to stay far away from her. It was best if he disappeared from her life.
This might even make Clayton heal faster.
Nicole did not know why Eric punched Clayton, but it was wrong to hit a patient. At some point, Eric left.
Not long after, the doctor came over to report on Clayton’s situation.
“Mr. Sloan just lost too much blood, which led to the lack o f blood supply to the brain. Fortunately, the
brain did not suffer any damage, but he’s still unconscious at the moment.”
Nicole closed the magazine in her hand and nodded. “Doctor, please let me know when he wakes up.”
No matter what, Nicole could not pretend that nothing had happened.
The doctor nodded and recorded her physical condition before leaving.
Nicole rubbed her glabella and wanted to lie down to get some shuteye when she heard footsteps at the
door.
She was the only patient living on this floor.
Thus, she did not have to think to know that those people were there to look for her.
Nicole frowned and thought that she should ask the doctor to get a “Do Not Disturb” sign for her door.
Before she could think too deeply, the door was pushed open.
“Lil N, look who’s here!”
Kai excitedly shouted, which woke her up completely. The sleepiness she had dissipated.
Nicole blinked and sat up to see Julie, Yvette, and Ian at the door.
Yvette ran over and hugged Nicole, examining her with concern.
“Nikki, we’re all scared to death!”
Julie also gave Nicole a once-over. Fortunately, Nicole only had a cast on her right leg, so she breathed
a sigh of relief.
“Luckily you’re okay! We’re scared out of our minds when w e heard about your accident.”
Ian walked over. His eyes unconsciously reddened, but he forced himself to sound relaxed.
“Lil N, how many times have you been in the hospital ? You really have too much fate with the hospital…”
Nicole laughed. She forcibly suppressed the rage she felt earlier.
“It’s nothing. I’m fine now!”
Kai ran over and felt disheartened when he saw Julie’s worried look.
He walked next to Nicole, reached out, and knocked on the cast on Nicole’s right leg. He smiled and
comforted Julie.
“It’s okay. Look, it doesn’t hurt at all!”
Nicole’s face stiffened. Her eyes widened as she stared at Kai, speechless. ’Is he really my brother? I
really doubt it! Did Kai call Julie to visit me to find an excuse to see her?’
Nicole seriously suspected that if Julie asked Kai to change his last name, Kai would have done so in a
heartbeat.
Yvette indignantly pushed Kai away. “K! Nicole’s injured, so don’t touch her!”
Julie cast a sidelong glance at Kai without saying a word.
Ian also wanted to scold Kai, but he dared not speak. Seeing that everyone was very critical of Kai,
Nicole felt relieved.
