In everyone's view, Eric's action earlier looked like he was deliberately letting go of life.
When Mitchell saw this, he quickly ran over to stop Eric.
He was afraid that Eric would do something stupid again.
"President, are you alright?"
Eric's eyes were tightly closed. He laid lifelessly on the seat without any reaction.
Mitchell subconsciously placed his fingers over Eric's carotid pulse and sighed in relief before he looked at Kai gratefully.
"Thank you, Young Master Stanton. President Ferguson must’ve been too tired since he hadn't slept for several days."
Kai glanced at Eric with complicated eyes.
"Take him back. Leave your people here to work with . n
me.
Mitchell immediately nodded in agreement. If Kai refused the manpower as well, he would have to worry whether Eric would skin him alive when he woke up.
Kai called someone to pick him up, hung up the phone, and saw Mitchell seemingly hesitant to speak.
"Is something wrong?”
Mitchell pursed his lips and thought about it before opening his mouth.
"Young Master Stanton, I know that you were saying all those just now because you wanted President Ferguson to back down."
Kai turned away. It did not matter whether or not Mitchell guessed his intentions.
Kai was no saint, but he was not so cruel to watch Eric lay waste to himself either.
Mitchell continued, "After President Ferguson and Ms. Stanton divorced, he had been reflecting on the past. He’s constantly in pain since. There were some misunderstandings that he did not mean to cause, yet they indirectly hurt Ms. Stanton. He always wanted to make up for it, though to no avail. But Young Master Stanton, President Ferguson never fakes his emotions. The regret he felt was real, so are his feelings for Ms. Stanton."
At those words, Mitchell felt like he had overstepped his boundaries and said too much.
If Ms. Stanton was here and heard those words, what would she feel?
Kai was silent for a few seconds. However, he did not stay and went to the other helicopter that came to pick him up.
When Kai reached a passenger ship below, he looked u
p at the sky.
He had to admit that if not for the many things that happened between Eric and Nicole, those two would have been a match made in heaven in every aspect.
Unfortunately...
Kai’s chest overflowed with grief. It did not matter whether or not Eric had feelings for Nicole because she would never come back...
Kai stood on the deck, ignoring the cold as the bonechilling sea wind struck his face.
