The Deserted Rich Beauty novel Chapter 2186

Nicole stood there among the crowd. People were screaming and crying loudly.

They knelt there with terrified faces and the indescribable grief of losing their loved ones.

It felt as if an invisible wall formed in front of her, forming two different worlds.

Nicole looked at the ruins with a pale face.

Euan, who was on the side, walked over with a dismal expression. He looked like a mess because he participated in the rescue just now. His body was covered in dirt.

He looked at her and hesitated to speak.

The emotions in his eyes were very complicated.

“Ms. Stanton, during the earthquake just now, the surface fractured, and the boulder fell down when the first tremors hit. Mr. Sloan and three other people who were standing there fell off the cliff together. They didn’t have a chance to react.”

This was the cruel truth.

Nicole’s face was dreary and tense as she looked at the large surface that had disappeared in disbelief.

There was still some loose rubble at the fracture, and the place was surrounded by people at the moment.

Clayton was just standing there and talking to her just now. He hugged her, and she could still feel the warmth from his arms.

How was that possible?

At that moment, she stood there at a loss, not knowing what to think.

An indescribable sadness emerged from the bottom of her heart and spread to her whole body, making her tremble and panic. Every nerve in her body felt numb and painful.

It felt as if someone was strangling her neck and suffocating her like she was on the verge of death.

Nicole wanted to go forward to take a closer look, but Euan stopped her.

“Ms. Stanton, it’s still dangerous there. I heard that there will still be aftershocks, so don’t go there!”

Nicole’s mind was blank at this moment, so she could not react to anything.

She just wanted to go there to find Clayton. Maybe Clayton fell on a tree and was waiting for her to save him!

A bit of hope rose in her heart as she thought about it.

She stubbornly pushed Euan away.

“I have to save him…”

From the moment Nicole and Clayton decided to be together forever, Nicole never imagined what would happen if Clayton disappeared from her life.

She remembered that their relationship did not start off vigorously like those who fell in love at first sight. They also did not have many twists and turns in their relationship.

It was always Clayton’s initiative and approach that slowly softened Nicole’s heart. That was how he walked into her world.

Nicole was used to his existence because he was like the sun that illuminated her whole life.

Clayton risked his life for her and gave up everything for her. He stayed in Mediania to start anew because of her.

His appearance erased all the unhappiness in Nicole’s past. Nicole hoped that she could wake up next to the gentle and warm Clayton every morning until the day she died.

However, they had only been together for such a short time, and he disappeared like this.

Unknowingly, Nicole felt tears streaming down her face.

Euan stopped her with all his might.

“Ms. Stanton, you really can’t go there. It’s too dangerous! Everyone is waiting for the rescue team. Please be patient!”

Euan regretted proposing this project and regretted that Nicole did not agree to it.

He also regretted that this natural disaster took down a man that he admired.

If something were to happen to Nicole, Euan would feel even more guilty.

Thus, he wanted to save anyone he could.

Earlier, Euan ran out of the hotel without Nicole completely out of his instinctive self-protection.

In that kind of situation, everyone would naturally save themselves first.

However, Euan was not a bad person. When he saw the people outside screaming in horror, he did not remain indifferent and immediately got involved in helping to rescue others.

When he got to this place, he saw the boulder breaking off from the cliff, and all four people, including Clayton, fell down.
