The Deserted Rich Beauty novel Chapter 2272

The panic caused by the earthquake had not completely disappeared.

Therefore, neither Eric nor anyone could replace Clayton’s existence.

Kai was still thinking about what Nicole said just now.

He felt like he was hit in the head and could not react for a long time.

“Are you mistaken just like Chatty?”

How could Jeff be Clayton?

They had no similarities at all!

Nicole looked at him calmly.

“Third Brother, I’m certain. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have risked my life for a stranger.”

Kai was silent for a long time.

After a long time, Kai asked her in a dry voice, “Then… What should we do? That guy woke up once. Leighton and the others asked him if he was willing to accept the risky experiment and said that they could use Sebastian’s method. But they’ll change the risk assessment and experiment methods. This will give him a chance to stand up again. But if it fails, his lower body will be completely amputated. He already agreed to it.”

Nicole’s expression suddenly changed, and her lips lost their color in an instant.

She subconsciously wanted to get out of bed, but she had no strength to support herself, so she fell.

There was a sharp pain in her knee.

For a moment, cold sweat came out of her forehead.

“Lil N...”

Kai quickly went over to pick her up.

Tears instantly filled Nicole’s eyes, and the sadness she felt was indescribable.

When Kai saw it, he felt heartbroken.

“Lil N, we didn’t know his identity, and he didn’t tell us anything. He agreed to undergo the surgery himself, and asked us to keep it from you...”

After he finished speaking, he looked at Nicole, who sat there in a daze as if her soul had left her.

Kai patted her head and felt so distressed that he did not know what to say for a moment.

“It’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have scolded you just now. I’m sorry for not watching after Clayton. I’m a fool!”

Kai choked up a little.

He seemed to realize that Clayton deliberately concealed his identity.

Clayton wanted a chance to stand in front of Nicole again, but he might fail to do so.

After a long time, Nicole raised her head and asked, “Where is he now?”

“I don’t know. Camille said that they need to conduct the experiment in secret and can’t disclose it to the public, so he was sent to another place. I’ll help you find out...”

Kai’s voice trembled.

Nicole suddenly grabbed Kai’s hand, gritted her teeth, and shook her head.

“No, don’t.”

“Why not?”

The corners of Nicole’s mouth twitched to reveal a half smile that was a little cold and sad.

“This is his choice and his life. It’s his decision to make whether he wants to risk it or not. I can’t force him to be trapped in my shadow for the rest of his life just because of my selfishness.”

“You...”

Kai sighed.

His younger sister always had the most clarity, but she was also the most affectionate one.

Nicole said in a hoarse voice, “He had countless opportunities to come to me, but he didn’t. This coward! Even if he was forced to recognize me, he would be unreconciled.”

“Then you’ll just leave it be?”

Kai was anxious.

Jeff and Clayton had different positions in their hearts.

Soon, Kai no longer felt angry that Nicole saved an insignificant person.

Nicole pursed her lips. “Never mind. I did what I had to do.”

She looked at Kai.

“Regarding Eric and I, you shouldn’t promise him anything on my behalf. I’ll thank him myself.”

When she heard what Kai said just now, it sounded like Kai was on Eric’s side.

Kai understood what she said and gave her a look.

“Do you think I’m dumb? Don’t worry. No matter how much I appreciate him, I won’t sell you out.”

Nicole smiled. “Let’s get ready to go back home. I don’t want to stay here any longer.”

Nicole had a fair share of surprises and frightful experiences this time abroad.

Kai said, “Sure.”

Nicole was fit for discharge.
