Nicole would not take the initiative to stir up trouble, but they needed to leave evidence in case those greedy people made another demand. Logan looked at Nicole with admiration and nodded.

Such a complicated and difficult situation was actually solved by Nicole through coaxing and threats. Nicole was really worthy of being a CEO.

She went to the office to take a break and breathed a sigh of relief. Half an hour later.

Jacob climbed upstairs, panting. "Ms.Stanton, everyone dispersed…" Nicole raised her eyebrows. "Is that so? How’s the response?"Jacob wanted to give Nicole a pat on the back for being so brilliant. "Half of the people took the money and left. There are still five or six who want to work, so I took down their information. The rest scattered…" Nicole smiled and rubbed the rim of the cup.

Those that did not take the money were probably afraid that they would be pursued after taking the money. It was good that they were cautious and family-oriented. "That leader has been dealt with?" Jacob nodded. ”The police took him away. Someone said that he’s Lincoln Zelman’s brother-in-law, so I reckon that Lincoln has something to do with this fuss." Nicole pursed her lips. "We must be careful. Nothing can go wrong before the unveiling of the project." Jacob knew the stakes. After hearing Nicole’s command, he made sure to be doubly careful. "Ms. Stanton, Hector Leach admitted to falsifying the accounts and that it was all directed by Lincoln Zelman. With all the evidence, Lincoln Zelman had to admit his fault, but…" Jacob hesitated for a while. "Lincoln set up a lot of traps in this project. He also doesn’t admit to all those lives lost. His father-in-law and brother-in-law are handling the construction of the project. They didn’t change a contractor even after mishaps. When someone dies on site, they just stop work and pay compensation. Previously, when we wanted to get a new contractor, his father-in-law and brother-in-law interfered, so no one in Sand City dared not bid for the project." Nicole paused for a moment and looked at him. "Then where did you get the new contractor?" It was not smooth sailing, but since Jacob never mentioned it, it indicated that the problem was solved. Jacob said, "It’s introduced by Mr. Ferguson." Nicole raised her eyelids and stared at Jacob without speaking. Jacob explained stiffly, "It was recommended by Mr. Lewis, but Mr. Lewis said very clearly that Mr. Ferguson asked him to pass on this contact. Mr. Ferguson knew that we would not be able to find a contractor, so he recommended a new one. I’ve done my investigation on them. This builder has a clean history and a good reputation. It doesn’t have any dark past.”

He meant that this builder recommended by Eric was like an angel that fell from heaven.

The corners of Nicole’s mouth twitched. She lowered her eyes and thought, ‘How could Eric be concerned about this small matter?’

“Since there’s nothing wrong with the contractor’s background, just use them. Although Eric Ferguson lost to us, he’s not so despicable as to tamper with the contractor.”

This was not fitting to Eric’s status.

Jacob breathed a sigh of relief and immediately nodded. He spoke without thinking.

“I guess that Mr. Ferguson did this for your sake and didn’t want this kind of trivial matter to worry you…”

Logan, who was on the side, gave Jacob a blank look. ‘Haha… He licked the wrong boot…’

Nicole pursed her lips indifferently. Nicole stood up and glanced at Logan. “Let’s go back to the hotel first.” Logan nodded.

The hotel owned by Stanton Corporation was not yet renovated, so Logan booked another luxury service apartment for her.

Nicole replied to a few urgent emails as soon as she went back, then changed her clothes to take a nap.

Logan also had to collect things from Zico Company, so he did not stay back with Nicole.

When Nicole woke up from her nap, the sky was already dim.

The sky was dark, and there was heavy traffic downstairs.

This winter seemed to be extra cold because the wind was bone-piercing.

Nicole felt hungry.

She saw someone in the convenience store across the street downstairs eating a hot dog. She was very tempted.

Nicole had not eaten a hot dog in years.

She suddenly got an appetite. After some thought, she chose to give up the hotel’s five-star chef’s handiwork.

Nicole put on her jacket, grabbed her purse and phone, and went downstairs dressed casually and comfortably.

When she got to the convenience store, she completely forgot about her regular diet. The smell of the hotdog was really enticing. She sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and wolfed down the hotdog.

After eating, she sat for a while longer and watched as the cars outside gradually diminished.

The glow of the streetlights permeated with a chill. Nicole got up and left.

Before she could cross the street, the traffic light on the pedestrian crossing changed to red.

Nicole stopped on the sidewalk. There was silence all around.

Her phone suddenly rang. It was Jacob Cook. She frowned and picked it up. "Mr. Cook..."

"Ms. Stanton, the police just came here to investigate all the surveillance footage of the project. They found a suspicious point. The construction accident site was surrounded by people, but there’s a suspicious person who was responsible for the transportation of the tower crane a t high places. This person will just stay not more than a few days before leaving the site. Before every incident, he’ll be there..."

Nicole held her breath. Sure enough, those incidents were most likely not accidents.

The traffic light across the street turned green.

Nicole said as she walked, "Do you know who it is? If he appears every time, he’s likely to be a local..."

Suddenly, a light on the side flashed. There was also a loud roar of an engine.

Nicole shuddered and looked to the side. The blinding light made her dizzy for a moment.

The person on the phone continued to speak, "The police have begun to investigate. That person has a clear scar on his face, so he’s likely to be an assassin hired by Lincoln Zelman..."

Nicole’s ears buzzed. It was unclear if she heard what Jacob said.

The oncoming big truck was extremely fast, too fast that she could not react.

However, she could accurately see the person driving... As well as the scars on his face! In that instant, the honk and the cold wind seemed to sweep her away and swallow her up. Everything around her suddenly fell silent.

The truck rammed straight into Nicole.

Nicole’s heart stopped for a moment. She felt like her whole body was drained of strength, but her subconscious reflex was faster by a fraction of a second compared to ordinary people.

Suddenly, she backed up and tilted her entire body backward.

However, the strong wind around the huge truck seemed to wrap her underneath it. The cold wind mixed with the hot exhaust rushed over to her.

Her complexion was paperwhite.

Suddenly, a big hand behind her tugged on her arm. It was firm and warm, broad and steady. She felt like she was being pulled out of hell, like she was pulled back from the dead. She was drenched in a cold sweat.

The truck roared away. Nicole fell to the ground and heard some part of her body break. Her body twitched in pain.

She was not so lucky this time to have Eric pushing her away from the back.

The real pain hit her. After the numbness faded, she felt a cramping, bone-piercing pain.

Her eyes dimmed, and her mind was dizzy. The surroundings felt extremely silent.

She could not speak, but her eyes were looking at the sky.

The man behind her picked her up. His voice was vaguely familiar.

Nicole struggled to distinguish it. It was Clayton Sloan. "Nicole, don’t fall asleep! You’ll be at the hospital soon..." She had never seen this side of Clayton. His mask of warmth and modesty was removed. He looked frantic with scarlet eyes as he held her shoulders carefully and firmly.

Jacob Cook spoke in a panic. "What should I do? If Chairman Stanton finds out that something happened to Ms. Stanton while she’s here with me, I really can’t afford the consequences..."

Logan said, "Mr. Cook, just handle your tasks well. I’ve notified Chairman Stanton and Ms. Stanton’s brothers about her accident, so they’ll come soon. We just need to cooperate with the police and provide evidence."

Logan’s voice sounded calm as he deeply suppressed the fear that was hard to hide.

He did not dare to imagine what the consequences would b e if Nicole died.

That would be his dereliction of duty!

Logan could only force himself to calm down because handling matters calmly in the face of danger was his profession.

Nicole looked at the warm sunshine outside the window and the branches that were swaying with the wind.

At that moment, she could only think about the blinding light in the darkness as well as the extremely fast truck that rushed to her.

Nicole shuddered and sighed with relief.

Logan was closely watching her movement in the ward. When he saw Nicole open her eyes, he excitedIy pushed the door in.

His voice became a little choked up. "President..."

Nicole blinked. She realized that it seemed to be true. "Did you catch the person?"

Her voice was a little dry and hoarse.

Logan hurriedly went over and poured her a cup of warm water, then handed her a straw.

Nicole took a sip and felt better. Her mind cleared up. "Yes, we got him. The bodyguard protecting you covertly didn’t let him go. His truck knocked over a big tree, and he fainted by himself. Now, he’s in the police station for questioning. He’s the same man who showed up at the construction site."

Logan methodically reported what he had investigated to her.

Nicole was Logan’s mainstay. Since she was fine, everything he did was worthwhile.

She nodded and suddenly remembered something. "The one who saved me... Was it Clayton Sloan?"

Logan nodded heavily. "Mr. Sloan just got off the plane in Sand City. He’s here on business and asked me for your address saying that he wants to send you dinner. I..."

He also sent a text message to Nicole to tell her about Clayton’s arrival.

However, Logan only realized after the car accident that the text message was in an unread state.

Nicole looked around and did not see Clayton. "Where is he?"

Logan lowered his eyes that were a little red.

"President, your blood type is special, and the blood bank here doesn’t have your blood type in store. It was too late to go to West City, so Mr. Sloan donated his blood to you."

Nicole’s eyes shook slightly, obviously a little surprised.

This fact made her tremble slightly. She even panicked a little. The grievance she felt deep in her heart surfaced, and she felt the urge to cry.

”You lost too much blood, so Mr. Sloan donated over twice the recommended volume. He’s now lying in the ward and hasn’t woken up yet..."

Unexpectedly, Clayton had the same blood type as Nicole.

Nicole was in a momentary daze, but the emotions in her heart were overwhelming.

The panic and wretchedness reminded her of the three years she spent with Eric, when she gave blood to another woman time and time again, wearing out her life and patience.

Nicole knew very well the scarcity and preciousness of this blood type. To best protect his daughter, Floyd funded a blood bank at a private hospital in West City that regularly looked for people to donate blood at high prices in case of emergencies.

However, Nicole was willing to put her life and dignity under the feet of others in order to please Eric. She even gave her previous blood to her love rival repeatedly. Even s o, what did she get in return?

She was just humiliating herself over and over again.

The humility that Nicole desperately wanted to forget felt like a thousand insects were gnawing at her bones. At this moment, she felt the pain vividly.

What was the difference between her back then and the current Clayton Sloan?

Read Chapter 744 of The Divorced Billionaire Heiress-By I Wanna Eat Meat

All Nicole could think about was Clayton being so humble and gentle with her, carefully expressing his feelings like he was afraid that she would refuse him, yet also afraid that she was not aware.

Her heart was aching like it was squeezed by a big hand. It was suffocating and uncomfortable.

A certain place  in her heart  also seemed to  soften  quietly.

Nicole pursed her lips. Fortunately, Clayton arrived in time t o pull her back from death. No matter what, she owed him.

"President, the doctor said that you’re out of danger, but your right leg fracture needs bed rest. I’ll contact the hospital back home. Let’s go back now..."

In terms of medical resources, West City had the best medical resources. Moreover, the Stanton family were there and could better take care of her.

Nicole paused for a moment. "We’ll go back together when Mr. Sloan wakes up."

No wonder she felt something wrong with her right leg. The pain was unbearable, but she had anesthesia.

Fortunately, it was just a fracture.

Nicole had a near miss and was incredibly grateful.

It seemed that she still underestimated Lincol n Zelman’s power. Even though he was locked up, he could still make such bold moves in the outside world.

He even dared to make a move on Nicole.

Thinking of this, her face sank. Nicole had to pull out this poisonous thorn on her side.

Eric had his eyes and ears in Sand City. When he learned of Nicole’s accident, he rushed over immediately after his meeting at night. He drove all night to the hospital in Sand City.

Standing at the door of the ward, Eric felt his heart beating violently. He was filled with fear and anxiety. The kind of coldness and hostility that permeated from the bones almost made him lose control of the strong urge to take revenge.

He wanted to kill someone.

Just before he pushed the door open, Eric overheard Logan’s words, which made his body instantly stiffen. He felt like a bucket of cold water was poured over his head, sobering him up. He froze in place.

’Clayton Sloan actually has the same blood type as Nicole?’ Eric thought.

At that moment, his heart twitched with pain.

Eric did not forget  why Nicole divorced him in the first place. That was because he forced her to donate blood to Wendy Quade and treated her as a mobile blood bank. He had walked all over her repeatedly.

Now, the person who saved her was Clayton Sloan. The person who donated blood was also Clayton Sloan.

What did Eric do?

Eric was on the other side of the door. He suddenly felt like he was slapped in the face, which was burning hot.

He did not know how to face Nicole, nor did he dare to evoke Nicole’s sad memories.  That was an ugly past.

Eric wanted to start over with Nicole based on the fact that she still had a liking for him.

The last bit of frankness would be worn out if he suddenly barged in now.

After a while, Eric retracted his hand and turned around to leave silently, like he was never there.

All that mattered was that Nicole was fine. The rest could wait. They still had a long future ahead.

Logan said a few words. Seeing that Nicole was tired, he tactfully went out.

Not long after, Floyd came with his two sons, Grant and Kai. Floyd was red-eyed with Kai supporting him on the side. Logan walked over and greeted them respectfully.

Floyd and Kai went straight to the ward.

Grant was very calm and stood at the door to ask about the situation.

At that moment, Grant’s face was cold and gloomy.

Everyone knew that the Stanton family was angered by this matter.

Lincol n Zelman thought that he could be lawless and evil because of the little power he held in Sand City.

The first few lives Lincoln took gave him enough courage t o think that no one would trace it back to him, so he was even more reckless.

Thus, Lincoln hated Nicole, who he had not met once but had already made him lose everything.

How could he let this woman who ruined everything he had go?

Even if he was in jail, he could still make Nicole regret coming to Sand City.

Read Chapter 745 of The Divorced Billionaire Heiress-By I Wanna Eat Meat

Logan and everyone knew very well that this was Lincoln Zelman’s handiwork, but there was no evidence.

"The police have tried their best to investigate..." However, that driver did not utter a word so far.

Grant heard the full report. His expression was frigid and oppressive.

"It’s too inefficient. Go and investigate the identity of the driver. Find his family members. No matter who they are, they should have a taste of the pain Nicole experienced. If h e doesn’t have a family, then arrange for our people to infiltrate in there and make this driver and Lincoln Zelman regret having come into this world."

Grant did not hesitate to use the most frightful means just t o vent out Nicole’s indignation.

Stanton Corporation was only for Nicole to play with, not for her to give up her life for.

Whoever dared to threaten Nicole’s life would only end up regretting their existence.

Logan used to work for Grant for a long time, from the time Grant started wandering in the gray areas of society to gradually being more upright.

Logan knew that Grant’s character was very similar to Eric’s. Both of them saw the cruelest side of the world, so they were hard-faced and cold-hearted. They were indifferent to anyone but the people they loved most.

Lincoln Zelman’s power was simply unsustainable compared to Grant’s strength.

Logan immediately nodded. "Understood. I’ll get it done immediately."

He had been working for Nicole for so long and was so used to seeing her candor that he almost forgot that he, too, had once followed in Grant’s uncompromising ways.

Nicole opened her eyes in a daze and saw someone sitting with his back to her.

When the person turned around, Kai’s handsome face suddenly appeared.

Seeing that she was awake, Kai smiled brightly.

"Lil N, look! I signed your cast! It’s worth a lot of money now!"

The plaster on her right foot was painted in a fancy way and signed with Kai’s flamboyant autograph.

Nicole rolled her eyes and muttered, "Why don’t you give m e a dollar? I’ll sell it to you."

Kai grunted and was just about to say something when Floyd stood up at the side and looked at Nicole with hot tears.

"Lil N, is it still painful? Daddy’s so heartbroken!"

Nicole was touched to see her father. She almost never got to see her family again. Suddenly, she felt a warmth in her heart as tears welled up in her eyes.

Kai was speechless and silently walked away.

He thought, ’It’s just a fracture... Do they need to be so dramatic?’

Back when Kai was injured while filming, he had three nails in his back and laid in bed for six months. Floyd did not even shed a single drop of tears! Floyd even advised Kai to change careers.

’Am I not his son too?’ Kai thought.

Grant pushed the door open and saw that Nicole was awake. His grim face suddenly softened.

"Are you alright? I’ll get the doctor to come over." Nicole smiled. "No need, I’m fine now."

Floyd sighed and looked at Grant. "Quick, let’s get ready to go back. It feels so unsettling here."

Grant nodded. Nicole could not help but say, "Mr. Sloan saved me. He’s not awake yet, so let’s wait for him to wake up and go back together..."

Thus, the four Stanton men, including Maverick, who joined on the video call, gathered around Nicole’s hospital bed to discuss the next arrangements.

With Nicole in this condition, Floyd would not agree to her continuing to go to the office, so she would have to recuperate at home.

Grant agreed.

Kai seconded the motion.

Maverick was too busy doing experiments to participate in the discussion.

An hour later, the doctor knocked on the door and came in.

"Ms. Stanton, the other patient, Mr. Sloan, has regained consciousness. He insists on coming over to check on you."

As the doctor spoke, the door was once again pushed open.

Clayton was standing weakly at the door. His face was pale from blood loss.

He looked at the people inside and was a little dumbfounded, then nodded politely in greeting.

“Hello, Chairman Stanton. Looks like everyone’s here, huh?”

Read Chapter 746 of The Divorced Billionaire Heiress-By I Wanna Eat Meat

Floyd’s attitude toward Clayton was a lot more enthusiastic. After all, Clayton was the one who saved Nicole, so he was totally different from Nicole’s usual suitors.

"Clayton, you should get some rest. Are you feeling better now?"

Clayton nodded. His eyes shifted to Nicole. Seeing her right leg in a cast, his pupils shrank fiercely.

Nicole smiled. "It’s just a fracture and will be fine soon. Mr. Sloan, thank you."

This gratitude was from the bottom of her heart.

In that situation, her reaction was not as fast as the speed o f the car. If not for Clayton, Nicole would have sustained more injuries than just a fracture on the right leg.

Clayton’s eyes were still a little red. His face was pale as h e curled the corners of his lips into a weak smile.

"Well, I’m glad that you’re okay."

Kai laughed at the side. "I think we should go out and let Lil N talk to Mr. Sloan alone!"

Clayton looked at Kai gratefully.

Floyd slapped Kai on the back of his head. "Nonsense! At this time, we should be together as a family! Clayton’s family isn’t here, so we’re his family now. How can we leave at this time? They’re both patients, so what if they pass out?"

Kai touched his head with a dumbfounded look, then nodded obediently.

"Yeah, Dad is the most thoughtful..."

"Hmph!"

Floyd rolled his eyes and hurriedly went over to support Clayton.

"Come, Clayton. The car is ready. We’re just waiting for you. We’ve contacted the hospital in West City, so you’ll get the best treatment. I’m your Uncle Floyd now and will make sure that you’re in the best of health!"

Floyd’s enthusiasm for Clayton doubled, especially after knowing that Clayton and Nicole have the same blood type.

Clayton was flattered and went over to sit down.

Grant raised his eyebrows inadvertently. Floyd had always kept a distance from Nicole’s suitors. Even Eric Ferguson could only address him as "Chairman Stanton", so did Clayton.

Now, Floyd even called himself "Uncle Floyd”? This transformation was a bit strange.

Nicole smiled and looked at the nervous Clayton. She comforted him.

"My dad is truly grateful to you. He’s always been friendly and affectionate, so you don’t have to feel so restrained, Mr. Sloan."

Kai was speechless. ’Friendly and affectionate? Huh...’

Clayton smiled and nodded. His warm face carried a hint o f sickly weakness. "Then sorry to trouble you, Uncle Floyd."

"Don’t worry about it!"

To make the patients feel as comfortable as possible, Floyd had someone drive two Rolls-Royces that had unparalleled stability and comfort.

Clayton and Grant shared one car, while Floyd, Kai, and Nicole shared the other.

Kai poked Nicole’s right leg that was in a cast from time to time. "Does it hurt?"

Initially, it was only a slight stabbing pain, but once the anesthetic wore off, the dense pain penetrated her bones.

Nicole rolled her eyes. ’Kai is so annoying! Why can’t the heavens take him?’    1

It was actually very painful, but Nicole was afraid that Floyd would get worried and would delay their journey home, so she just smiled.

"Nope, it doesn’t hurt. It‘s the kind of slight pain that’s still tolerable!"

Floyd glanced at his strong daughter with heartache and looked at the handsy Kai with distress.

"Do you think she’s you? You’d get pain killers just for stomach aches and like to broadcast all your little injuries t o the world. Your sister is much stronger than you are!"

Kai silently lowered his head. ’Is it my fault that I have a low pain tolerance?’

Another car.

The atmosphere inside the car was silent and cold.

The driver did not speak. Grant did not know what to say, and Clayton did not know how to initiate conversation.

Halfway through the journey, Grant suddenly thought of something and asked, "Mr. Sloan, why did you go to Sand City all of a sudden?"

Sand City was far less developed than West City and Atlanta, and the development potential was not that great.

How could Clayton Sloan, a returnee and big-name investor on Wall Street, go to Sand City?

“To see Nicole.” Clayton was frank. He smiled, and his voice was warm and elegant.

Grant raised his eyebrows and hesitated for a few seconds before slowly opening his mouth.

"I don’t understand. Mr. Sloan, are you interested in Nicole?"

A smirk surfaced on Clayton’s pale face.

"Yeah, I’ve been pursuing her all along."

Facing Grant, who could see through people’s intentions with one glance who might even be his future brother-in- law, Clayton felt that it was better not to have the slightest concealment.

Grant curled his lips. This was an expected answer. "Mr. Stanton, do you think that I stand a chance?"

Clayton could not help but ask. He was flustered when he thought about this, so he tried to find some self- confidence in Grant.

After all, Grant was Nicole’s brother.

Grant curved his lips meaningfully and lowered his eyes. His voice carried some gloating sympathy.

"Mr. Sloan, in our family, our opinion is of little use. Nicole always gets veto rights."

No one could influence Nicole’s thoughts. Back when Nicole was bent on cutting off contact with the Stanton family to marry Eric Ferguson, what they said was futile. Instead, it provoked her defiance.

Now, they no longer dared to try to persuade her.

As long as Nicole was happy, what did it matter who she was with?

Anyway, with the Stanton family around, who would dare to bully Nicole?

Hearing this, Clayton froze for half a second, seemingly sensing a hint of sadness in Grant’s tone. Clayton nodded with a silent, gentle smile.

Clayton’s upbringing told him that it was best not to pry into secrets that others did not plan to confess to.

The car soon arrived in West City.

Floyd had a good relationship with the director of that high- end private hospital. The patients that the hospital admitted were no ordinary people. The medical equipment used there was also the best in the world.

At the same time, it was also the most expensive.

Nicole’s special blood type could not get the highest priority in ordinary hospitals, but here, she could.

Once they were there, they did another thorough examination.

Nicole’s leg was badIy fractured, so she could not walk. The nurse on the side came over with a great attitude and helped to push Nicole’s wheelchair.

More than an hour passed before the series of tedious examinations was done.

When it was over, the nurse enthusiastically pushed Nicole back to the pre-arranged ward. Nicole saw Clayton at the door.

He was sitting there with his forehead resting against his fists that were loosely clenched.

Nicole paused and looked at the nurse, signaling for her to leave first. She pressed the button of her motorized wheelchair and slowly went over.

She felt extremely conflicted about Clayton.

Her heart ached for him, as it did for her humble past self during those three years of marriage to Eric.

Nicole did not want Clayton to become like her. That unspeakable bitterness was truly agonizing.

It could break one’s pride and wipe out one’s self- confidence.

Clayton raised his eyes and saw Nicole. His eyes had redness that had not yet faded, but it was still as warm as ever.

He smiled. His face was still pale from the blood loss. His concerned gaze shifted to her leg.

"How was the checkup? Does it still hurt?"

Nicole’s pain was the first thing he noticed after getting out of the car. She was biting her lip so hard that they were bleeding, so the pain must be hard to bear.

A warmth crossed her chest. She chuckled. "It stopped hurting a long time ago."

Clayton’s eyes were gentle, and his eyebrows were well- defined. Hearing this, he flashed a faint smile. ”That’s good Nicole paused. "I didn’t expect that you’d have the same blood type as me. Both of us can’t be saved in case something goes wrong."

Clayton’s smile faded as he looked at her intensely.

"Nicole, although your blood type is rare, you’re a warm person. No one can’t be saved, just like you.”

Nicole was slightly stunned. Except for the three years when she was a mobile blood bank for Wendy Quade, Nicole had always cherished her life most.

Read Chapter 748 of The Divorced Billionaire Heiress-By I Wanna Eat Meat

Now and in the future too.

"By the way, are you done with your matters in Sand City?" Nicole asked.

Clayton replied, "I went to look for you."

Clayton’s gaze was too scorching, and the words he said were so warm and gentle. This made Nicole a little flustered. She dared not lift her head to look into his eyes.

She pursed her lips and blinked her eyes, trying to look calm.

"Were you looking for me for something in particular?"

Clayton looked at Nicole seriously. Her eyes were faintly reflecting the galaxy. Upon closer look, they were so radiant.

After staring for a few seconds, Clayton suddenly laughed lightly. The corners of his lips curled into a smile that was somewhat enchanting.

"I have a special interest in you, so of course, I’ll find a way t o see you."

Nicole stiffened. She did not expect Clayton to suddenly say such direct words.

For a moment, she did not know how to answer him.

Seeing her torn face, Clayton’s eyes faintly flashed. He spoke with a smile.

"Are you too touched? If you are, then..."

"Sven, I’ll leave my daughter in your care from now on. When she’s discharged from the hospital, make sure she’s as lively as before!”

Suddenly, Floyd’s voice that was gradually approaching came from Nicole’s ward.

"Don’t worry. Ms. Stanton is fine this time, thanks to her boyfriend. How did you find her a boyfriend with the same blood type as her? In the future, you don’t have to worry about her getting into accidents. With the two of them together, absolutely nothing will happen!"

An old and resounding voice spoke with delight. At the same time, the door opened.

The four people looked at each other.

Nicole quickly reacted and nodded toward the man next to Floyd with a smile on her face.

"Director Sven, how are you?"

Director Sven was an old acquaintance. Nicole had been going to him for consultations since she was a child.

Both Sven and Floyd did not have the slightest embarrassment of being eavesdropped on and acted like sophisticates.

"Ms. Stanton, your father is here to warn me while bribing me. Your body will have to live up to expectations!"

Nicole laughed. "Just now, the doctor said that it’s nothing serious. After a few months, I’ll be able to walk again."

Director Sven nodded. Floyd smiled and walked over to push Nicole’s wheelchair.

"Okay, don’t disturb my daughter’s rest. You guys can leave!"

Director Sven said a few words and left. Clayton walked into the ward.

"Uncle Floyd, I still have a lot of work to hand ie. My people will come over to pick me up in the afternoon. Sorry to trouble you these two days."

Floyd was stunned. He then smiled and patted Clayton’s shoulder.

"Look at you, acting like a stranger. You saved Nicole, so you’re our family’s savior. Don’t talk about trouble. Your business is important, but from now on, I’ll get our chef to send you meals every day until you recover..."

Clayton was stunned. "There’s no need to be so troublesome..."

"It’s not a problem at all! You can visit us at home if you’re free, just treat our home like your own home."

Clayton nodded and smiled decently.

Nicole rubbed her glabella. Her father’s attitude toward Clayton changed way too fast.

She recalled overhearing Floyd’s conversation earlier and felt ashamed.

It sounded like they did not want to let Clayton leave because of his blood.

The Stanton family was the one who had a special interest in Clayton.

’Can’t Dad and Director Sven’s conversation be more restrained?’ Nicole thought.

Fortunately, Clayton did not show any dissatisfaction. Otherwise, Nicole would have wanted to burrow into the ground.

That afternoon.

Floyd could not stand it and went home to rest.

Nicole was in the ward eating fruit that Kai cut for her when Grant came over in a hurry.

Grant was hold ing a thick document. His face was stern and glum.

Kai took a wet wipe to wipe Nicole’s hands while he smiled at Grant.

“It looks like Big Brother caught the murderer!”

Read Chapter 749 of The Divorced Billionaire Heiress-By I Wanna Eat Meat

Grant’s stern gaze dropped as he handed the document to Nicole.

"That man with the scars is indeed Lincoln Zelman’s henchman who specializes in creating accidents at construction sites to delay the work schedule."

Nicole was aghast. Her eyes sank.

Was it not worth mentioning that Lincoln Zelman treated human life as a child’s play?

Kai slapped his thigh. "Damn! He even has the guts to target Lil N. We can’t let him off the hook like this. Before handing him over to the police, we must teach him a lesson!"

Grant looked at Kai. His jaw tightened, and his expression was a little complicated and dark.

"I’ve investigated this scarface’s family background. He’s a worker from the construction site. The reason why he sold his life to Lincoln Zelman is that his daughter has cancer and needs a large sum of money for treatment. The money for the first few surgeries came from Lincoln Zelman’s payment."

The room was silent after Grant said this.

The Stantons were not vicious people. They would also be soft-hearted and would also be kind to others.

However, Nicole, who was injured, learned this and felt a million times more conflicted.

Kai was the first to calm down. That was probably because he was used to reading these kinds of dramatic scripts while filming.

After hearing Grant’s words, he was the most disdainful and coldly snorted.

"So, to save his own daughter, he went to kill other people’s daughters? He’s such a hypocrite! He killed so many innocent people. Isn’t he afraid that karma will get to his daughter?"

Just because something happened for a reason, it did not mean that it was worth forgiving.

Nicole sympathized with this scarface’s daughter, but that was no reason for him to kill so many people.

Especially since she had just walked on the thin line between life and death, Nicole did not have the heart to care about other people’s misfortune.

Compared to someone who did so many evil deeds, the one who just came back from the dead was the more unfortunate one, right?

The bit of sympathy in her heart instantly diminished.

She raised her head and looked at Grant. Her tone was indifferent and rational.

"If he made a deal with the devil, he should be prepared to b e pulled down. We’re not qualified to forgive him for those that died in his hands, so just leave it to the police."

Grant had no intention of letting the scarface go. No matter what his reasons were, he would not end well since he dared to make a move on Nicole.

However, Grant was worried that Nicole would be emotional after finding out the reason. That was why before Grant handed over the scarface to the police, he came over to get Nicole’s opinion. Grant did not expect that Nicole was more decisive than he thought.

Thinking of this, Grant knew what to do.

"Okay, I’ll arrange the rest. Don’t worry. We won’t medd ie, and we won’t add to his woes.”

This was the bottom line.

What Grant meant was that the Stanton family would not b e stupid enough to pay for the scarface’s daughter’s treatment, nor would they be despicable enough to make a move against his daughter.

Nicole nodded. Grant stroked her head and looked at Kai. " I’m going back to the office. Call me if you need anything."

Kai was indignant. He had already thought of countless ways to avenge Nicole, but he was somewhat bewildered after hearing Grant’s words.

That criminal family got let off too easily.

The room fell into silence again.

Kai saw that Nicole was unhappy and intended to put a projector in her ward to watch movies, then install a karaoke machine. He was explaining his great ideas to Nicole excitedly.

Nicole looked at Kai dreamily. ’Is he planning to live here permanently?! Kai’s a little too happy for not going home to accompany Dad!’

She covered herself with the quilt and let out a long sigh. " K, I wanna rest. You can go out to have fun..."

Kai thought, ’Hmph! She has no conscience!’

He indignantly opened the door and ran out. ’There are so many people who want me to accompany them to bed. Lil N really doesn’t know how blessed she is to have me!’

The interior design of the hospital was carefully done by famous foreign designers. The space was clean, spacious, and extremely comfortable.

This hospital was more like a leisurely semi-open area, and there was only one entrance to control access to this place.

The peaceful and elegant environment inside had some contemporary design elements to it, which calmed one’s mind.

Kai walked through the hospital and received a lot of admiring and stunned gazes from doctors and nurses. When he turned a corner at the end of the promenade, Kai noticed a man sitting on a bamboo chair not far away.

He narrowed his eyes. ’Huh, Eric Ferguson?’

Kai gradually approached. Eric was sitting there alone. His back figure looked so lonely and desolate. Eric must have felt disheartened.

After all, the person standing next to Nicole turned into Clayton.

Thinking about Floyd’s attitude toward Clayton, Nicole and Clayton might really end up together.

Eric raised his eyes and saw Kai, who was standing in front of him, smiling.

"What a coincidence, Mr. Ferguson!”

Kai looked at Eric and was slightly taken aback.

Eric’s eyes were bloodshot. It looked like he had not slept for several days, or that he was anxious and uncomfortable. In short, Eric looked to be in a very bad state.

Kai had never seen this side of Eric before.

At that moment, Kai’s mood of teasing Eric subsided greatly.

Eric lowered his eyes. His voice was gruff as he asked, " How is she?"

Sure enough, Eric came for Nicole. Kai let out a sigh and sat next to Eric.

"Much better now. Except for not being able to walk, the rest is not a big deal. Mr. Ferguson, don’t worry too much."

Eric’s eyes moved slightly. He hung his head in silence and was staring out into space.

Kai blinked and raised his eyebrows. "Mr. Ferguson, you’re not going in to take a look?"

This was not at all like Eric’s usual style.

Eric froze for a moment. Of course, Eric wanted to see Nicole and had rushed over to see her at the first opportunity.

However, when he approached the door, he retreated. For some reason, Eric panicked and felt a little uneasy.

Especially after knowing that Clayton and Nicole share the same blood type, the kind of uneasiness that took root in his heart gave off a bitter pain.

Eric somehow felt ashamed to face Nicole.

There was silence for a few moments before Eric slowly opened his mouth. Sullen darkness was suppressed in his eyes.

"No, next time..."

With that, Eric stood up and wanted to leave.

After sitting here for an hour, being so close to her, Eric still felt very distant and that he was slowly fading away.

Kai was stunned and suddenly sneered.

"Mr. Ferguson, you don’t dare to see her, right? In those three years of your marriage, you used my sister’s blood to save your lover countless times. Now that Nicole lost so much blood, another person’s blood saved her, and this person happened to be Clayton, who always liked her..."

Eric’s back fiercely stiffened. His eyes instantly turned cold and stern.

His gaze was gloomy and harsh. When he turned around, his face was dull, and his body was exuding a chill.

"Kai..."

The person in front of him was Nicole’s third brother, so Kai was still safe and sound after saying these words.

Kai sneered. ’This is the truth, so what’s there to argue about?’

There was not a single false word in what Kai said, so Eric did not even have room to refute.

"Do you know how valuable her blood is? Do you know that all the furniture in our house is softly wrapped around the edges? Do you know that she has never peeled her own fruit since she was born and that a fruit knife never appeared in front of her?"

Kai sat there with a slightly raised chin. The corners of his lips held a fleeting smile.

"You don’t know anything. Back when she was hell-bent on marrying you, she was giving her life to you, but you only wanted her dead every time..."

“I didn’t...”

Eric’s tone was heavy. His voice was hoarse and dry, like the sandy wind in the desert. He felt like thin threads were wrapped around his heart, gradually tightening and suffocating him.
