The Deserted Rich Beauty novel Chapter 2302

Fischer ran in.

Clayton stood there waiting.

He looked at Nicole and felt a pain in his chest. It was so painful that he felt suffocated.

He wanted to go forward but he did not dare to.

He did not dare to look at her sad and reproachful eyes, and her pity and surprised look.

No matter how subtle it was, Clayton could always see the sympathy in people’s eyes.

He did not want to see it in Nicole’s eyes.

Fortunately, the doctor came out carrying Chatty.

Chatty’s face was flushed from crying. The poor little thing was frightened. Her eyes were watery, and she was still sobbing in fear.

When she saw Nicole and Clayton, she felt even more aggrieved.

Chatty stretched out her hand toward Clayton and shouted aggrievedly, “Daddy, hugsies....”

Clayton’s eyes darkened instantly, and his heart melted.

He reached out to take Chatty, who sobbed and clung to his neck. Her body was so soft like cotton candy and they could not bear to pinch her.

The doctor looked at Nicole and said, “I did a checkup and found no foreign object in her throat. The Heimlich maneuver you performed was timely and accurate, and it prevented a serious accident. It’s hard to imagine what would happen if you didn’t perform first aid in time…”

Nicole’s face turned pale, and her scalp was numb. She smiled and said, “Thank you, doctor.”

“However, her throat is scratched because of the hard candy, so there might be some bleeding. You should pay extra attention to her these days. Don’t feed her any solids. It’s best if she eats soft foods and liquids.”

The doctor looked at the child in distress and sighed.

“You adults must pay more attention to your child. How can you feed such a small child hard candy? If you want to coax children, a lollipop would be better than ordinary hard candy. You’re too careless.”

Nicole pursed her lips and remained silent.

Clayton’s face was gloomy, and he could not maintain his previous demeanor.

Julie replied with a smile.

“Thank you, doctor. This time, it was an accident. We’ve been watching her closely, and this won’t happen again. Does she need any medicine? I’ll get it from the pharmacy.”

The doctor nodded. “Let’s go. I’ll prescribe some medicine for her.”

“Alright.”

Julie followed the doctor.

There were only two adults left outside – Nicole and Clayton.

Fischer worriedly stood on the side and held Chatty’s hand as he silently blamed himself.

There was a moment of silence in the air.

Clayton’s eyes were full of guilt.

He took a deep breath, put Chatty on the chair next to Nicole, and held his forehead.

“I’m sorry. It’s my fault.”

He used so much force that there were marks on his forehead.

Besides apologizing, Clayton did not know what else to say.

Nicole raised her head at this time. The corners of her eyes were red, and her lips were bold. She was still as stunning as before.

“Who are you apologizing to? Me or your daughter?”

Clayton gave her a deep look as if he wanted to look into her heart.

He replied, “To you. I’m sorry.”

He wanted to apologize to Chatty and Nicole personally.

Clayton was ready to take on the blame. He almost killed his daughter because of his own carelessness.

Chatty was the only blood relative that Nicole left for him in this world, and she was more important than his life.

Nicole stood up and looked at the handsome man who looked so exhausted. His powerless and restrained look made Nicole heartbroken.

She clenched her fists, closed her eyes, and opened them again. She felt a little helpless as she said, “Anyway, I’m glad you’re alive.”

Nicole knew that Clayton was blaming himself and that he was in more pain than her.
