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."
Nicole pursed her lips and shook her head.
"At that time, everyone was too busy taking care of themselves. There's nothing to apologize for. All
that matters is that everyone is fine.”
Although Nicole felt a deep sense of despair when the elevator was going up at the time, she also
understood that it was impossible to ask so many people to wait for the three of them.
Every second of delay would cost someone else's life, and she could not afford the consequences.
Nicole stroked Chatty's hair and felt a warm current through her heart.
The room was silent for a few seconds.
Kai could not help but ask, "Why aren't you asking about Jeff Lieberman?"
Chatty, who was lying in Nicole's arms, raised her head and said, "It's Daddy!”
Nicole felt a sharp pain in her heart.She looked at Kai and asked casually, “How is he?"
Seeing her reaction, Kai was a little surprised.
"Did you really lose your memory?"
Nicole shook her head.
Camille spoke from the side. “Don't worry. Ms. Stanton’s vitals show that she's fully recovered. Our
team's professional evaluation is that she doesn't have amnesia."
Kai smiled and sighed.
"She's alive, but she's still dreaming.”
Kai suddenly changed his tone, and there were signs of anger on his face. "Hey, how could you save
that person when you're in such a dangerous situation? You couldn't even protect yourself, so why do
you want to save that person?”
Camille was slightly startled, but Leighton was very calm.
Nicole paused. Her face turned pale.
Kai was hesitant to talk since Chatty was there. He was afraid that it would scare her, so he lowered his
voice to express his dissatisfaction.
"Not to mention, he has nothing to do with us! Even if he was someone close to you, you should never
risk your own life! Have you not thought about the consequences? You fainted but still clung to him. At
that time, Eric went down to save you himself. He couldn't separate you from him. He swam up and
down more than a dozen times to finally get you two on the boat. He almost died there himself. Nicole,
do you know how scared I was when I heard about this from them?"
As Kai spoke, the veins in his eyes became more obvious.He held back for so long and was finally able
to speak his mind.
Kai did not understand why Nicole did that.
Seeing this, Camille knew that she should not stay there with Leighton.
Thus, Camille went over and took Chatty and Fischer out of the ward.She closed the door, and the
room fell silent.
The European decor made the ward look cozier.
Nicole listened calmly.
When she heard that Eric almost died for her, she frowned slightly, and she felt breathless.
After a while, Kai took a deep breath.
"I used to hate Eric so much, but this time, I have to admit that you guys wouldn't have made it out alive
without him. Nicole, if Clayton's death took a toll on you, you should find someone who can heal your
wounds. I think he’s a great choice. He really made up for what he owed you back then."
Nicole pursed her lips and smiled.
‘Third Brother, you're not the type to speak well of others.”
Kai rubbed his face.
‘That's because I have to admit that Eric would risk his life for you.Whether it's Jeff or someone else, no
one can protect you as Eric does. Instead of wasting time on unreliable people, I think Eric is better. He
has also changed a lot. He's nice to Chatty..."
Kai wanted to continue, but Nicole interrupted him.
‘Third Brother, Clayton is not dead.”
Kai was stunned for a moment. His breathing became heavy.
‘What did you say?"
Nicole looked at him calmly. “Jeff is Clayton, so don't say that he’s useless or that he can't protect me in
front of him or anyone else. I don't want him to hear this. I married him not because he can protect me.
We protect each other, and I can protect him too. When I was at the bottom of the sea, I wanted to
protect him. I can't just watch as he disappears from my life again."
