The Deserted Rich Beauty novel Chapter 2185

The tremors from the earthquake were so strong that Nicole had to walk by the wall to dodge the falling objects.

Overhead, the dim yellow lights suddenly went out.

It became pitch black.

For a moment, Nicole could not get used to the dark and could not see anything.

In the next second, she suddenly heard Chatty’s scared voice.

“Mommy…”

Nicole trembled and looked in Chatty’s direction excitedly.

Two of her assistants came out carrying a child in their arms.

“Ms. Stanton, let’s get out now! The back of this building has collapsed.”

The assistant said anxiously.

Nicole’s eyes had adjusted to the darkness. She looked at her female assistant, who was carrying Chatty, and saw that her forehead was bruised like she had been hit by a falling object.

Nicole immediately went over to look at Chatty. Fortunately, the child was just frightened. The assistant protected Chatty, but she was still terrified.

Nicole felt grateful and glanced at the assistant.

“Thank you. Let’s go quickly.”

She stretched out her hand to carry Chatty and stroked her head. Finally, she felt at ease.

Fischer was carried by the male assistant. He was very well-behaved but also quite frightened.

There was nothing wrong with the male assistant, but he was visibly flustered.

They turned around and headed for the exit.

Nicole carried Chatty and ran outside.

Just as they were about to turn the corner, an aftershock struck them.

The tremor this time was several times stronger than the previous one.

The ground was unsteady.

They could not find a place to hide.

At that moment, half of the wall in the room collapsed and became ruins.

The screams continued, and the cries for help were deafening.

Someone who was running ahead was hit by a falling object in the next second.

That person became lifeless.

However, how could Nicole abandon Chatty to save a stranger at that moment?

Nicole’s heart clenched tightly with indescribable fear as she thought, ‘Luckily Clayton isn’t in here… Luckily he’s outside!’

While she was deep in thought, a white light flashed in front of her eyes.

The block of cement above her came crashing down.

The path behind them was blocked, but fortunately, no one was hit.

The male assistant was holding the female assistant’s hand while carrying Fischer in his arms.

Nicole paused. “You go first…”

She knew that if she walked ahead, she would only slow down the three of them.

The male assistant was agile and did not hesitate.

He jumped over the wreckage in a few steps, then ran out with the female assistant.

Even though he jumped forward and fell to the ground, he still managed to get out in time.

Nicole also followed behind.

She carried Chatty, who was obedient and did not cry or make a fuss. However, she could feel her little body trembling in fear.

Nicole took a deep breath and jumped onto the collapsed ruins.

When she was just about to jump down, the ground suddenly shook again.

For a moment, the space above her went dark.

The concrete and steel bars overhead fell.

Nicole was shocked and used her body to protect Chatty.

The concrete brushed past her head and landed a few millimeters away.

Chatty was safe and sound, but Nicole’s left arm was grazed by the falling concrete and steel bars. It pierced her flesh, and blood gushed out instantly.

Nicole’s heart settled down when the concrete fell to the ground.
