The Deserted Rich Beauty (Nicole and eric)
Chapter 988 He's Gonna Die

Since they established their relationship, Clayton constantly contacted Nicole.

Clayton told her to eat well, to remember to rest, to drink less coffee...

Sometimes, when Nicole saw them, she would reply. However, when she was busy, she would simply ignore them. Despite that, Clayton never got angry. He sent messages almost once every five minutes.

Somewhere along the line, she had gotten used to it.

Nicole frowned when she looked at the quiet phone.

When she opened up their chatlog, she saw that their conversations always started because he initiated them.

She typed a few words into the chatbox. "Are you busy"

Thinking about it, she deleted it.

It was better to call directly.

A few seconds later, the call was answered.

"Pretty Lady, I missed you so much..."

It was sweet Lil Michael!

Nicole smiled. "I missed you too. Why did you answer

the phone? Where's your daddy?"

Lil Michael grunted and spoke hesitantly.

"Daddy got beaten up and has a fever now. He's gonna die!"

Nicole was shocked and paused, thinking she misheard.

"He was beaten up?"

Lil Michael said, "Mhmm... He was beaten up so badly that he almost stopped breathing!" Nicole's heart thumped. It was no wonder Clayton did not contact her all day.

She immediately panicked and blamed herself for not asking about his condition earlier.

"Are you guys at home? I'll come over right now..."

"Sure, Pretty Lady. Hurry up and take me away. If Daddy dies, can I live with you?"

Lil Michael thought about this problem very seriously.' Although I'll be very sad if Daddy dies, if I can live with the Pretty Lady in the future, it doesn't seem so bad anymore...' The "weak" Clayton lying on the bed heard every word Lil Michael said clearly.

The veins at the corners of Clayton's forehead jumped, but he endured it to make himself calm down.

Clayton had always practiced the modern way of parenting with Michael, following the concept of being friends with the child.

At that moment, Clayton could not help but curse the boy in his heart several times. He suddenly felt like disciplining children with the rod was the true way to go!

Nicole heard the word "die", and her heart panicked.

She did not have time to think about anything else and ran out in a hurry with her cell phone.

Logan saw how panicked she was and felt that she should not drive in her current state, so he stopped her and contacted her driver.

Nicole's mind was blank until she finally returned to her apartment building.

At Clayton's apartment, she knew his password, so she opened the door and went straight in.

In the bedroom.

Lil Michael sat next to Clayton and tried to stuff a pill into Clayton's mouth, but he was unsuccessful no matter how he tried.

Nicole took a few steps over and could not hide the worry in her eyes.

She frowned at the man lying there. His face was weak and pale, and his lips looked completely devoid of blood.

Most alarmingly, the right side of his face was slightly swollen and dark red. It was a bruise from a punch, and there were also a few traces of blood that had not been cleaned up at the corner of his mouth. It was very shocking.

Clayton had always been a nice and gentle person as if a gust of wind could blow him away.

Nicole's heart suddenly throbbed. She stopped Lil Michael's hand from continuing to stuff medicine into Clayton's mouth.

It was clear that his lips had been tortured beyond recognition.

Lil Michael looked at her in surprise, and Nicole made a gesture for him to stay quiet.

Then, she stroked Lil Michael's head. "Go wait outside. I'll check on your daddy."

Lil Michael hesitated for a moment before agreeing to it.
