The Deserted Rich Beauty (Nicole and eric)
Chapter 1609 Still Hate You That Much?

The doctor came out of the ward looking cautious and closed the door.

Keith sat aside and looked at the gloomy-faced Eric, who had such ashen and defeated eyes. Eric looked like a different person compared to the spirited man he was back then.

"Eerg..."

Keith suddenly did not know how to speak.

Eric raised his dark eyes drearily to look at Keith. His voice was deep and hoarse with unspeakable sadness. "I just had a dream that I called her to give blood to Wendy. She obediently agreed and went. I told her not to go in the dream, that Wendy was just pretending and that she doesn't need to donate blood. But she couldn't hear me no matter what I said. She didn't turn back..."

Keith choked for a moment. He felt like a ball of cotton was stuffed into his chest.

He saw Eric's lax and listless eyes that looked like they were looking through Keith and lamenting the past.

Eric finished speaking. His eyelashes quivered as he asked Keith, "I want to be good to her, but why am I always doing things that hurt her?"

"Ferg, you..."

Keith paused for a second before making up his mind to speak.

"Forget it. It's good that she survived. At least the Stanton family won't replace trouble with you. Nothing has changed now that the situation maintains its balance."

At least to Eric, he did not lose anything and even solved the big problem that was Angie.

Eric's face was pale without a trace of blood. "Nothing has changed?"

Eric sneered and laughed self-deprecatingly. The corners of his eyes turned red, and he looked like he was about to cry.

But Eric changed. Nicole also changed.

She would never cross paths with him again. Eric once again recognized his ruthlessness.

Keith wrinkled his brow and looked at Eric. He wanted to comfort Eric, but he did not know how to. Keith could not stand to see Eric look so decrepit and constantly live in self-reproach forever. "Ferg, regardless of whether there's any change, she's in the past. We're all aware of your feelings for her, and she's probably also clear."

Eric's gaze flickered. He looked at Keith with a taut face and did not speak.

Keith said, "It's just like how Livia knows that I love her, but she just hates me for being too ruthless in the past, so she doesn't want to forgive me easily. I'm willing to do anything for her and apologize for the rest of my life. But in your case, Nicole doesn't want your apology. She also knows that you both won't be able to start over again. Rationally, your choice isn't wrong. You can only blame Caleb for being too heartless. No one wants to see that kind of accident, but no matter how guilty you feel now, it's all in the past. You can't just keep wallowing in remorse for your decision and waste your life away." "Then... What else can I do?"

Eric's gaze trembled slightly. For the first time in his life, Eric was at his wits' end.

Keith pursed his lips. "Ferg, go and apologize to Nicole. Explain why you made that choice at that moment. Whether or not she decides to forgive you, you should still apologize. It's much better than hiding from her forever."

"She won't forgive me."

Eric's voice was rough, and his tone was cold.

Eric knew that Nicole would never forgive him again.

"How do you know if you don't try?"

Keith paused and added, "You owe it to her. You should put an end to this, right?"

When Keith said this, he also felt his scalp tingling.

It did not matter whether Eric would listen to Keith's suggestion. The main point was to let Eric recognize the fact that he could no longer be with Nicole.

After Keith said that, the room fell silent.

Keith watched as Eric's expression turned stiff and gloomy. Eric instantly paled, and he looked so wretched and pitiful.

After some time, Keith felt that it was useless to say more. There was also nothing else he could say.

Just as Keith was about to stand up and leave so that Eric could rest properly, Eric suddenly spoke in a dry and low voice. "Does your ex-wife still hate you that much?"
