Nicole bit her lower lip until her lips became bright and red. She seemed to become more energetic when she was mad.
She did not know what to say anymore and turned to leave, embarrassed and indignant.
However, her wrist was suddenly pulled back.
Clayton chuckled in a low voice. His heart softened into a puddle when he saw her shy face.
He knew that she was angry, so he spoke with a smile. His tone was a little aggrieved.
"It's my fault. I was too rude, Ms. Stanton. This condition is a little roguish. You said I could have anything I wish for. If I'd known, I would've told you to give me a draft so I can say what you wanted me to say..."
Nicole was furious. Clayton was the one who had dirty thoughts, yet he still tried to blame it on her?
She fiercely broke free and pushed him away resolutely.
"You said..."
Before she could finish, Clayton's face went white for a moment. He let go of the hand that was holding onto her and clutched his own chest.
Nicole went pale in fright and hurriedly went over.
"What's wrong? Don't scare me. Did I touch your wound? I’ll get the doctor!"
In just a few seconds, her hands were sweating with fear.
He just came back to his senses and could not afford t o have any accidents.
Just as she was about to press the call bell on the side, Clayton's hand suddenly held her wrist. He looked at her steadily.
"As long as you're not angry with me anymore, my injuries will suddenly get better."
Nicole was stunned for a few seconds before reacting.
"You lied to me!"
She really was furious!
Clayton was hospitalized and finally woke up, but he teased her time and time again. She was about to die o f anger.
Nicole wanted to push him away, but when she thought that his pale face earlier did not seem to be fake, her hands lost their strength, and she just softly touched his shoulder.
However, her face was still cold, and she stood there motionlessly.
"You seem quite well to me. I think you don't even
need to take medicine."
Clayton looked at her with a smile in his eyes.
"Are you really angry? I'll apologize to you, okay?"
Nicole did not say anything.
