The Deserted Rich Beauty (Nicole and eric)
Chapter 2010 Can Only See and Cannot Eat

Eric turned his head slowly and remained silent after the phone call.

No matter how much Quinn cried or complained, Eric kept quiet.

Quinn gradually understood Eric's attitude, so she lowered her voice and sobbed.

The next day.

The sunlight shone on Nicole's face through the curtains.

Nicole slowly opened her eyes.

She had a good dream last night.

Nicole subconsciously reached out her hand and felt a muscular arm next to her.

She paused and looked back.

Clayton was still sleeping next to her.

He slept so soundly that even her disturbance did not wake him up.

It was obvious that Clayton had not slept well for a long time.

Nicole instantly felt heartbroken.

Clayton frowned slightly. He seemed to be dreaming.

Nicole reached out and touched his face.

His handsome face was a little thinner.

She sighed and cuddled next to him.

After she woke up, her lungs felt much better, and she did not cough as much.

It was probably the medicine taking effect.

She only had a slight pain in her ribs.

However, it was not to the point of being unbearable.

Clayton subconsciously wrapped her in his arms and showed no signs of waking up.

They just stayed like this for a while until someone lightly and rhythmically knocked on the door.

Nicole paused. She could not get out of bed, so she coughed lightly.

The person outside quietly opened the door. "Mr. Sloan?"

Nicole said, "What's the matter?"

The man did not come in but replied respectfully from the outside.

"Madam, Mr. Grant Stanton is calling. Can you please ask Mr. Sloan to answer the call?"

Clayton had probably instructed his subordinate to pay special attention to Grant's call. Otherwise, his subordinate could have rejected the call straight away.

Nicole paused and glanced sideways at Clayton.

Clayton's sleep seemed to be disturbed as he was frowning slightly.

He placed one hand on his forehead and frowned. He was waking up.

It was already too late for Nicole to ask the subordinate to go out. Nicole touched Clayton's face lightly.

"Hubby?"

Clayton responded, opened his eyes quickly, looked at her fondly, :b,;PIS= subconsciously kissed her on the lips. "Good morning, baby."

Nicole indulged in his good morning kiss, but she did not forget that there was still someone standing at the door.

She did not like others to watch her being intimate with Clayton.

Thus, when Clayton wanted to continue and deepen the kiss, Nicole pushed him away.

"Someone's calling you."

Clayton finally pulled back, frowned, sat up, and leaned back lazily.

"Who?"

The person at the door repeated it again.

"Mr. Sloan, it's Mr. Grant Stanton's call."

Clayton opened his eyes, lifted the quilt, got out of bed, and walked out.

He would not let anyone come in and see Nicole in this disheveled state.

Clayton walked back in with the phone.

Grant already hung up, so he called back.

It was a video call.

Grant was also waiting for his call and picked up in a few seconds.

"Clayton?"

Clayton raised his eyebrows, composed himself, and put on a warm smile.

"It's me, Big Brother."

He smiled and handed the phone to Nicole.

"Do you wanna say hello?"

Nicole did not wash her face yet, so she glared at Clayton reluctantly.

Fortunately, it was only Grant, who was a man that would not notice such details.

Nicole smiled. "Good morning, Big Brother!"

Grant stared at the screen for a few seconds, backed up slightly, and nodded.

"Have you recovered?"

Nicole nodded. "I feel better by the day."

She did not lie, especially to her family.

Grant pursed his lips. "Come back when you're able to move. Should I get Chatty in the video call?"

Nicole's eyes lit up. "Yes, please!"

Grant moved slightly to the other side and beckoned to Chatty. Chatty wore a small cloak and showed her pinkish and tender face to the camera. Nicole missed her daughter very much after not seeing her for a few days.

However, she did not dare to say it as she was afraid that Clayton would blame himself again.

Clayton spent more time with Chatty than Nicole did, so he definitely missed her more.

Thus, none of them mentioned it.

Nicole's eyes were sore, and she forced a smile.

"Hey, Chatty baby! Do you miss Mommy?"

Chatty looked at the person on the screen like Nicole was a stranger.

The baby girl looked back at Grant with a smile and stretched out her hand.

"Uncle, huggies!"

Grant carried Chatty on his lap and pointed at the person on the screen.

"That's your mommy. Don't you miss Mommy?"

He spoke softly, then quickly said to Nicole, "You went overseas without your daughter. It's no wonder she doesn't recognize you anymore." Nicole was speechless.

She turned the camera away, so Clayton took the phone and looked at the screen with a smile.

"Hey, Chatty!"

Chatty started to wave her little hands excitedly.

"Daddy..."

Clayton was gratified and his eyes lit up with satisfaction.

Nicole was speechless and jealous of her husband.

Clayton stroked Nicole's hair and put the phone in front of Nicole.

"Chatty, call Mommy."

Chatty simply shouted, "Mommy!"

The baby smiled and touched Nicole's face on the screen.

Nicole smiled. "What a good baby! Mommy will be back soon!"

She could not wait to carry Chatty and give her a hundred kisses.

Chatty could not recognize faces. It started when she could not tell Grant and Kai apart.

Nicole did not expect that her daughter could not even recognize her.

Chatty could only remember Clayton's face.

The heartless little girl said goodbye and quickly crawled to replace Tigger.

Grant sat there. His face gradually turned serious.

"Come back as soon as you recover. It's been too long, and I can't keep hiding it from Dad."

Nicole nodded.

Clayton agreed.

"Don't worry, Big Brother. We'll go back when she's feeling better. Sorry to trouble you with Chatty these days."

Grant nodded. "Don't worry. You can rest assured and take care of Nicole. You don't need to worry about us here."

After a short pause, Clayton said, "Mr. Ferguson should be back by now. Big Brother, please be cautious about your cooperation with him."

Grant glanced at Clayton and nodded

Nicole did not want to listen to them talking about work, so she took the phone and chatted with Grant.

Grant chatted for a while and felt that it was a waste of time, so he hung up the phone.

Nicole was speechless.

Clayton went to the bathroom to take a shower.

When he came out again, he was refreshed and wore a white bathrobe. He looked so handsome and tall with such a nice figure. He looked like he stepped out of a painting.

Nicole shook her head.

Unfortunately, she still could not move, so she could not do anything.

She could only watch and could not have him, so she could only endure it.

Clayton did not know that in just a few seconds, Nicole already sighed and regretted her situation countless times.

If he knew, he would have been very proud of himself.

Clayton wiped his hair and came out with drops of water on his head.

He glanced at her and saw that she closed her eyes and sighed.

Clayton thought that she was worried about her health. His eyes darkened and he concealed his coldness. He then smiled and talked about a topic of interest to her.

Before long, at Nicole's whim, Clayton gave her a massage and a facial.

Clayton was very happy to do this. Under Nicole's instructions, he prepared a lot of tools and a specific mask that she asked for.

Once Clayton applied the cooling mask to Nicole's face, she felt alive again.

She sighed and touched Clayton.

"If our family goes bankrupt, you can do facials for those rich women to support me

Clayton was speechless and felt insulted.
