The Deserted Rich Beauty (Nicole and eric)
Chapter 2190 Found One

Eric saved her, but it did not mean that he could stop Nicole from doing what she wanted.

In the dark, Eric's expression froze. His eyes gradually turned deeper and darker, so much so that no emotions could be seen from them.

"Nicole, objectively speaking, you're a woman, so your physical strength and endurance can't compare to these professionals. If there are aftershocks, and you get into an accident, we'll have to assign more people to take care of you. Don't you think this will delay more time in saving Clayton?"

The light was dim. Moreover, Nicole's thoughts had already flown away.

Thus, she did not notice the worry and tension in Eric's eyes at this time.

Nicole was silent for a few seconds and seemed to be looking in a certain direction in the distance.

Just when Eric thought she had compromised, she said in a drawn-out voice, "That's great then. There's no need to save me."

Eric's heart seemed to be twisted viciously that it was so painful.

Did Nicole like Clayton that much?

That feeling made Eric feel suffocated.

He was really helpless.

Just when the two were at an impasse, the person on the side said, "Ms. Stanton, since you want to go, you can tag along, but you can't wander around. Otherwise, we'll get distracted from trying to take care of you. You can also participate in the rescue if you follow the team."

Nicole nodded and strode forward.

Eric looked at that person with cold eyes.

The man paused and lowered his tone.

"Mr. Ferguson, I've encountered many such situations. It's very rare for family members to remain calm in these kinds of situations. If you don't let her go there in person, she won't be able to sleep well for a few nights. Let her go so she'll sleep soundly when she's tired. By then, everything will be over."

Eric felt his throat dry up. He felt uncomfortable.

He took the flashlight from the man's hand.

"I'll follow her. You guys do your own thing."

"Yes, Mr. Ferguson."

Eric paused for a moment and quickly caught up to Nicole.

Nicole followed the search and rescue team in front and saw them digging around the crack with a hoe.

She was a little puzzled.

The rescue personnel explained, "During an earthquake, people may have fallen into the crack, so we won't be able to replace them on the surface. I'll dig it out to see if there are any clothes or personal belongings."

Nicole turned pale and nodded.

The flashlight reflected on her face, which turned bloodless.

Nicole continued to walk forward and listened to the people in front lifting a big tree.

"It's tragic. I heard that when they found those two people in the afternoon, they were all bloody and their faces were beyond recognition. Their limbs were separated from their bodies and fell dozens of meters apart."

"Right?! I heard that they fell on a rock halfway down the mountain first. That's how they lost half of their heads."

"Sigh... There are still two who are missing. I hope that they can have complete bodies at least!"

"What a pity... I haven't encountered this kind of situation in years!"

Nicole's body swayed. Just when she was about to fall, the man behind her supported her.

"Be careful."

Hearing Eric's voice, Nicole regained consciousness. She felt less suffocated.

"Thank you."

Eric let go of his hand in time.

"You're welcome. Since you don't believe me, then look for him properly."

Nicole gulped and nodded. "Thank you."

She thanked him again for his help.

If it was not for Eric, she would have to go through a lot of trouble to replace someone from her family to help out.

Unexpectedly, Eric helped her without saying a word.

The sky gradually darkened.

They could also vaguely hear the ear-splitting cries from above. Those cries represented the deep affection for their loved ones who passed away suddenly.

Who would have thought that a natural disaster would strike so suddenly?

That night was unforgettable.

Nicole walked forward with a flashlight. The mountains seemed endless as if they would never reach the end.

Eric followed without saying a word and blocked many branches for her.

Everyone in the team walked forward when someone suddenly shouted, "There's someone here!"

Nicole could feel her heart beating violently at this moment.

She scrambled to run in the direction of the cry.

Everyone also rushed over to help.

The wind felt piercingly cold and dry in her ears.

Nicole felt very calm, and her mind was blank.

Everyone surrounded the area and waited for the most experienced personnel to come to the rescue.

"He's close to the canyon. There's a river below the canyon. Fortunately, he didn't fall into the river. Otherwise, it would be over!"

"Really? What a miracle!"

"Is this the person Ms. Stanton and Mr. Ferguson are looking for?"

"I don't know, let's wait for them to take a look!"

Nicole ran all the way and did not care that the ground was muddy. It was muddy probably because it was close to the water source, so it was not as dry as the area earlier. She could hear the tide and the wind, and the place was very cold and humid.

Nicole pushed aside the crowd and looked at the person who the team surrounded.

His face was swollen like a pig's head, and it was hard to recognize his face.

But...

Nicole's heart sank.

This was not Clayton.

Eric came over, took a look, and frowned slightly.

"Really? I can't recognize him now. Let's wait for the DNA results."

Nicole pursed her lips and said with difficulty, "This isn't him. He didn't wear these clothes when he went out this morning."

Clayton wore a sweat suit that Nicole personally chose for him that was comfortable and branded.

The person on the ground was wearing a common mountaineering suit.

It was not him.

That was not her Clayton.

Nicole felt uncomfortable and was disappointed after seeing a glimmer of hope.

How long would she have to wait for him?

However, she paused suddenly and looked at the person on the ground.

"Is he still alive?"

The rescuer reached out to check the victim's pulse and said in a complicated tone, "He had one last breath just now, but now he's gone..." "His legs are completely severed. Look..."

Someone pointed to his lower body. From the thighs down, his trouser legs were empty and suddenly dipped.

In the darkness, they could not tell instantly that his pants were already soaked in blood.

The paramedics came quickly, carried the man onto a stretcher, and tried to resuscitate him.

Nicole's heart clenched.

That feeling was like a thin thread tightening around her heart, making her breathless.

Her body became tense for a moment when she heard Eric's deep voice beside her.

"Let's continue the search."

After that, everyone immediately returned to their original positions and continued looking.

They were much more energetic than before.

This was the third fall victim, and he showed signs of life.

Maybe they could replace the fourth victim soon.

Maybe things would get better.

Without hesitation, everyone continued to search with heavy steps.

Nicole had already walked to the riverside. The place was remote, and because of the steep terrain, everything could be seen at a glance.

In addition to the rushing water below, there were sharp rocks on both sides.
