The Deserted Rich Beauty (Nicole and eric)
Chapter 2280 His New Life

Nicole stood at the railing at the center of the hospital and looked down, waiting for Floyd and the others to come over.

She wondered whether she should get someone to search through the entire hospital for that man, but she was not sure. Floyd and the others would certainly replace out if there was a commotion, and they would worry about her.

Nicole took a deep breath.

Just when she was about to take out her phone to ask the driver why Floyd had not arrived yet, she inadvertently saw a familiar person.

It was the woman she met during lunch, Kira.

Kira limped toward the seating area downstairs and looked as if she had sprained her foot.

Nicole frowned slightly.

What a coincidence.

The next second, Nicole's face instantly paled.

A man in black clothes also limped over with a payment receipt.

Kira raised her head and smiled at him shyly.

That man looked like Clayton, not Jeff or someone else.

It was Clayton!

Nicole did not know how he reconstructed his face back to its original look.

She had seen, thought, and dreamed about this face countless times.

It felt like someone was squeezing her heart until it was about to burst.

The pain was dense and deep.

It messed up her calmness.

She wanted to scream and call out to him. She wanted to run down and hug him immediately.

Tears unconsciously streamed down her face.

She felt elated and blessed.

The dishes from the French restaurant and that silhouette earlier were not her illusion. He was right in front of her.

He was back!

Nicole was so excited that she clenched the railing until her nails started to turn white.

There were a lot of people waiting to see the doctor downstairs, and many who were waiting to pay the bill, but Nicole only noticed him.

She stretched out her hand and was just about to shout when she saw Clayton reaching out to support Kira's arm. The two smiled tacitly and limped away to the hospital door. Nicole froze instantly.

It was like having ice water poured over her head.

Nicole looked at the backs of the two people holding each other and felt uncomfortable as if a thorn had pierced her heart and eyes.

The two of them seemed to sense her gaze and turned to look in her direction.

Nicole was shocked and suddenly squatted down.

She hunched over and hid behind a wall as she did not want to be discovered by them.

At this moment, she suddenly realized something. After the initial surprise faded away, she felt that she was momentarily blinded. In fact, this was not a surprise.

It was a fright.

He started a new life.

Was it really him?

If he still remembered her, how could he be with another woman?

Was Kira merely a manager of the restaurant?

Or did they have some other relationship?

Nicole was not sure.

Was Nicole in his plan to start over?

The two of them looked so close. Were they already together?

Nicole only felt suffocated and uncomfortable.

She felt like everything around her was spinning, and her face gradually turned pale.

Grant, who just came out of the ward, was terrified when he saw Nicole like this. He quickly picked her up.

"What's the matter? Doctor!"

Grant was so frightened that he quickly carried Nicole into Aida's ward.

The doctor surrounded him. "Ms. Stanton..."

Nicole sat for a while. After she calmed down, her face was still a little pale.

She smiled and said, "It's nothing. I didn't eat anything for lunch. When I squatted down and stood up suddenly, I just felt a little dizzy. Maybe it's just low blood sugar."

Grant's expression eased. "You scared the hell out of me!"

The doctor looked into her eyes and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ms. Stanton, if you feel uncomfortable, do you want to do a checkup?"

The doctors on this floor were specially selected to cater to the VIP.

Nicole shook her head. "I'll just eat something."

Grant glanced at her helplessly. He picked up a banana from the fruit basket on the side and handed it over to Nicole.

"Eat this first. Maybe you'll feel better afterward."

Nicole did not blame Grant for being perfunctory and took a bite of it.

Aida, who had a pale face, looked at Nicole with concern.

"It's better to go for a checkup even if you're hungry. You shouldn't neglect your health."

Nicole smiled and said, "Aida, don't worry about me. I know my body."

Just when Aida was about to say something else, Grant realized something.

"Did you see someone familiar?"

Grant knew that Aida would be concerned, so he did not elaborate.

Nicole paused. Her face turned pale.

She calmed down after a while and smiled.

"No, I was mistaken earlier. It wasn't him."

Grant breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at Nicole again.

"You should tell us if you feel uncomfortable. Why don't you rest here first? Don't wander around, okay?" Nicole nodded.

Shortly after, Floyd and the others rushed over.

Nicole sat there motionless, which was very out of character.

Even Aida felt that something was wrong.

"I think you should get someone to check on Lil N..."

Grant nodded.

Thus, when Floyd came, he saw Nicole walking out of the doctor's office while clutching her fingers.

Floyd was stunned for a moment. Kai was the first to speak.

"Isn't Aida the one who's hospitalized? Why do they need to take your blood? Are you donating blood?"

Julie followed behind and took a step forward. "Are you alright?"

Nicole nodded her head. “It's nothing, just a little low blood sugar. Grant and Aida asked me to do a checkup."

Kai said, "You haven't eaten yet, right? You should always bring a pack of instant noodles with you!"

Julie said to Kai, "Just shut up!"

Kai shrugged his shoulders and knocked on the door of the ward.

Floyd frowned and looked at Nicole.

"Are you unwell? You should go home and rest. We'll be here."

Nicole smiled and reached out to hold Floyd's arm.

"No, Grant and Aida are just making a fuss. I feel much better after eating a banana."

Floyd twisted her ears.

"No one can take care of you tonight, so you should take care of yourself, got it?"

Nicole quickly nodded.

Julie smiled helplessly.

"Don't worry, Dad. I'll watch her for you!"

Floyd smiled and knocked on the door of the ward to see Aida.

Nicole did not follow. Julie went in to say hello and came out again.

Seeing that Nicole's expression was off, Julie sat next to her and asked in a low voice, "What happened?"

They were best friends for many years, so Julie could tell at a glance that Nicole had something on her mind.

Nicole pursed her lips. "Jules, I saw Clayton...”

Julie was surprised. "What? Are you sure?"

Nicole nodded.

"Then why didn't you..."

Julie hesitated to speak. She wanted to ask, "Why didn't you keep him?"

But if it was really Clayton, how could Nicole not recognize him?

Nicole took a deep breath and looked up at the ceiling.

"There's another woman beside him."
