The Deserted Rich Beauty novel Chapter 266

When Eric opened his eyes and saw the familiar furnishings around him, he sat up in shock. He was about to rip off the needle stuck in his arm and leave.

"Where are you going?!"

Old Master Ferguson's face was red with anger. His aged voice was imposing and forceful.

The butler and servants at Eric's sides stopped him. N o one dared to speak for a moment.

Eric’s expression became nasty as he spoke with a firm tone.

"I'm going to look for Nicole..."

"She's already dead!"

Old Master Ferguson's words hit Eric like a bolt of thunder out of nowhere. Everyone already knew that, but Eric was still in denial.

Those words suddenly touched the deepest reality buried in his heart.

Eric felt like a deer in headlights.

That taut nerve pulled and snapped.

He looked up with bloodshot eyes, his face tight and cold.

"She's not dead. She won't die like that!"

His voice was surprisingly cold.

'How could I leave Nicole alone in the sea? No matter what, I must take her home!'

Eric stood up and was just about to walk out, but Old Master Ferguson immediately shot the butler a look. The butler came forward with the servants and pinned the frail Eric firmly in his bed.

"Young Master, your body hasn't recovered yet..."

"Get out of the way!"

Eric’s voice was icy like a winter night.

Old Master Ferguson frowned in dissatisfaction.

"I know that you’ve always felt that our family owes that girl. If she's alive, I won't stop you from doing things for her, but she’s already dead. There's no need t o throw away your life for her. Do you want our entire family to be buried with her? Do you know what kind o f rumors were flying around outside while you were searching for her during this period? Our family is becoming a joke!"

"I don’t care! She's not dead. I have to find her!"
