Eric closed his eyes.
How could he convey that message?
Eric just wanted Clayton to get lost and never appear again.
Eric confidently went to save Nicole and tried to make her feel that he was the only person who could save her repeatedly.
As a result, Eric began to regret this.
He should have fulfilled all of Nicole's wishes.
"Nicole, let’s not talk about this. Where are you now? I'll go there immediately!"
Eric did not hear Nicole’s reply after a long time. His heart seemed to be pierced with dense needles that it felt so painful even breathing became difficult.
The time passed by the minute.
Eric could no longer resist urging her. "Nicole..."
Nicole laughed. "Don't bother. Do you think that Caleb will tell me where I am?"
Her laugh was a bit despairing.
Nicole did not know whether she hated Eric or not.
She just never wanted to hear his voice again in her life and was extraordinarily repulsed by it.
Thus, Nicole got up from the floor and walked to the bed to sit down.
She stared at the gap through the bamboo wall and thought that she had less than thirty minutes left.
Outside, Eric's voice went on nonstop. It was just that n o matter what he said, Nicole did not respond anymore.
If this was the end of her life, Nicole would blame Eric because she was afraid that Clayton would beat himself up for losing her.
How sad would Clayton be?
After some time, the sound outside the door faded away.
Perhaps Eric had given up too.
Nicole blinked and felt that her eyes were sore. She wanted to cry but could not.
She was not afraid at all.
Her eyes were just staring in one direction. She could feel the silence in the air as if she was isolated. She sat there alone. Her body was stiff, and even her own shallow breathing was clearly audible.
Suddenly, Nicole heard a shout that felt right next to her ears from a very distant direction.
She vaguely felt that she had misheard.
However, as she got closer to the wall, the sound became more obvious.
It was a voice coming from outside the building.
"Explosives detected in the building. Be on level one alert. No extraneous personnel are allowed to enter..."
