The Deserted Rich Beauty novel Chapter 2224

Nicole did not know why she had such a big reaction to a back figure.

However, she had an intuition that she would regret it if she did not stop him.

The car braked suddenly.

Nicole pushed the door open, got out of the car, and looked back in the opposite direction. At this time, that man had already disappeared.

That limping figure left so quickly.

Nicole felt an inexplicable sense of loss in her heart.

It was as if she was stripped of something important.

However, she could not understand what this feeling was.

“Miss, what’s the matter?”

Luca got out of the car and looked around vigilantly. He thought that something happened!

Nicole looked at the empty street. Her eyes flickered slightly, and she shook her head.

“It’s nothing.”

Her voice was low, and she sounded so lonely.

Was it her illusion?

For a moment, Nicole felt that the limping figure looked like Clayton.

However, Clayton was someone who cared most about his appearance and had never looked so wretched.

Nicole returned to the car and looked at her phone. The messages she sent were like stones that sunk into the sea.

She never got any response.

[I miss you so much. Why don’t you come back?]

[Chatty beat up some kids at school. I think you have to come back and scold her!]

[I saw someone who looked like you today. I thought you came back!]

…...

At night, everyone was already asleep.

Nicole returned to the room with a glass of milk.

She looked at the medicine in front of her with narrowed eyes.

Then, she took out her phone and called the psychiatrist.

The doctor was very responsible. Even if she called late at night, he did not show any displeasure.

“Ms. Stanton, you can’t sleep?”

Nicole paused. “Yeah.”

“You told me a few days ago that you can fall asleep normally. Why can’t you sleep today? Is it because of some external stimulus? Did you encounter anything today?”

Nicole blinked as she listened to the doctor’s gentle voice.

She suddenly wanted to talk to someone, and an ethical psychiatrist was obviously a good confidant.

“I met someone who looked a lot like him, but it couldn’t be him. I think he might be watching me somewhere.”

The psychiatrist was silent for a while. His voice became serious.

“How long did this last?”

“Since I came to France.”

The psychiatrist exhaled slowly.

“The change in the environment might have caused some mental rejection. That’s why you tend to find a sense of dependence. This might not be a bad thing. Ms. Stanton, you should try to blend into the vibrant surroundings and reduce your chances of being alone so as to prevent your mind from running wild.”

Nicole responded. The doctor was satisfied with her proactive behavior.

At least, Nicole was willing to get out of the inextricable pain.

She pursed her lips. “Are you saying that it’s just my hallucination? It would be great if I could confirm it. What if it’s really him?”

The psychiatrist was silent for a moment before he spoke in a gentle voice.

“Ms. Stanton, you’re thinking about a hypothetical situation. This person may not exist at all, and you may be pouring your thoughts about Mr. Sloan onto an insignificant passerby. This gives you a strong sense of anticipation. That’s when you’ll create an illusion that makes you think that he may be paying attention to you. But in fact, this is all in your mind. Is this person different from others?”

Nicole frowned slightly. Her blood felt stagnant.

“Mm.”

“He probably looks and acts differently from others, right?”

The psychiatrist accurately described the person she saw today.
