His Arm is Numb
Clayton raised his brows and admired Nicole’s shocked face early in the morning
It felt extraordinarily wonderful.
However, a moment later, Nicole turned her gaze to him.
She stared at him without speaking.
Clayton laughed and moved his arm that went numb after she slept on it. He hissed and sucked in a
breath of cool air.
“It’s so early in the morning. Don’t get angry…
Nicole simply ran out and was about to leave after grunting at the doctor.
Clayton shouted after her helplessly.
“Director Sven brought others on his rounds earlier. They should still be outside now. Do you… Want to
wait a little longer before going out?”
Nicole’s body stiffened, and her expression became even more unpleasant.
This was the hospital. They shared a bed here and were still seen by others?
A fire instantly lit up in Nicole’s heart.
“I told you yesterday to inform me before you slept so I could leave. Why didn’t you say anything? Do
you want others to laugh at me?”
She originally wanted to hold back her temper because Clayton was a patient.
However, she decided not to put up with it now.
She was furious.

Clayton’s warm smile appeared slightly apologetic. “I didn’t notice when I fell asleep last night. Don’t be
angry, okay? It’s fine even if we’re seen. We’re fully clothed, and I’m so weak that I certainly don’t have
the strength to do anything else. From a scientific point of view, I think they should be able to
understand.”
Nicole was unable to raise her temper because of his warm words, but her face was getting hotter and
hotter.
She glared at him fiercely. “Just you wait!”
Then, she walked out.
She straightened her clothes before opening the door, as if having a guilty conscience.
Nicole opened the door and sighed in relief.
Fortunately, there was no one outside.
She went back to her ward and saw Kai sitting there eating
breakfast while watching a musical.
Seeing that she was back, Kai raised his brows and laughed.
“You’re back? Is Mr. Sloan awake? Dad told me to bring breakfast over. I’ll send it over if he’s awake.”
Nicole nodded in response. Her face was already back to normal.
She touched her stomach. She also felt a little hungry.
Nicole walked over and sat down opposite him.
As they were eating, Kai put down his fork and wiped his mouth before suddenly speaking.
“Can Mr. Sloan be discharged?”
Nicole was stunned. How did he suddenly jump to this topic?
“I don’t think so. The doctor said he still needs half a month of observation.”
Kai hesitated, frowned, and nodded. “But you didn’t go back to your room to sleep last night. Were you
talking with him all night?”
Nicole almost spat out a mouthful of toast. She immediately raised her gaze.
“How did you know?”
Kai chuckled, lifted his chin, and pointed to the bed beside her. “I slept there. I finally don’t have to
sleep on the sofa!”
The corner of Nicole’s eyes twitched. “Don’t be ridiculous. I was too tired as we chatted, so I fell asleep
there.”
Kai shook his head and sighed. “Looks like he hasn’t recovered yet. He needs to be observed!”
Nicole was speechless.
During the day, more people came to visit.
Since Caleb was dealt with, the Stanton family did not deliberately hide Nicole’s whereabouts.
They just said that she was hospitalized and needed to be deserved.
Once the news spread, Julie and Ian pulled Yvette over.
Clayton’s ward instantly became lively.
Since they were close, Nicole did not hide anything from Clayton.
Yvette stood not far away, and slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
“I’ve been keeping it secret for days and now I can finally reveal it.”
Ian glared at her and grumbled.
“How could you not tell us?! It’s such a big deal yet we didn’t know about it. We thought you went skiing
in the North Pole!”
