The Deserted Rich Beauty (Nicole and eric)
Chapter 387 She Was Afraid

Nicole and Yvette left the aquarium together with Lil Michael.

Eric followed behind them. "Shall we have lunch together? How about some mantis shrimp?"

Nicole, Yvette, and Lil Michael looked back at him and said in unison, "No!"

Eric smiled. Nicole took the lead and walked to the car first, keeping two paces ahead for fear that Eric would follow after her like a leech.

A relatively new car was parked a few dozen meters away, waiting for the right moment.

The moment Nicole appeared, the car engine roared a s it charged straight at her with a flying speed.

Behind her, Yvette let out a startled cry. "Nicole!"

The next second, a figure dashed out and pushed Nicole out of the way.

The attack happened in a split second. There was a loud collision, followed by a person rolling to the ground.

The car crashed straight into a large tree by the side, and smoke started to rise from the hood.

The surroundings became dead silent.

Lil Michael was frightened. His voice was nervous.

"Pretty Lady, that weird mister..."

Nicole was pushed to the lawn on the opposite side of the path. There was a sharp pain in her arm. Her heart was pounding violently.

She had not been able to react earlier and only felt a huge force pushing her from behind. All she heard was the collision!

Nicole turned around with a pale face.

She saw the man lying in the middle of the road, covered in blood. Just a second ago, that tall and indifferent man was smiling at her gently as he invited her to lunch, but now... For some reason, her heart ached at that moment, as if it was stabbed.

Yvette ran over in a panic. "Call an ambulance!

She looked at Nicole worriedly. "Are you hurt?"

Nicole felt like she was in a bubble because she could not hear anyone's voice.

Lil Michael immediately tapped on his smartwatch. H e forced himself to remain calm as he went to the side to make a call, but his voice was clearly anxious.

Nicole stumbled over in a daze and knelt next to Eric, staring at him blankly.

His clothes were covered in dust and his hair was disheveled.

That handsome face was deadly white. His lips were relaxed, and his calm face no longer had any trace of life.

All that surrounded him was his blood.

Nicole's heart clenched tightly. She felt like blood was dripping from it.

Even her breathing gradually became more difficult.

He saved her again.

Yvette shook Nicole in a panic. "Nicole, don't scare m e!"

She was worried that something happened to Nicole.

Nicole suddenly settled her mind. She took out her phone and saw that the screen was shattered, but it still worked.

She immediately called Logan and told him to contact the hospital and doctor.

Then, she called Mitchell and told him to make arrangements.

After that, she called Clayton Sloan and asked him to send someone to pick Lil Michael up.

Finally, she called the police.

Nicole looked at Yvette. "Wait here for the police and keep an eye on the driver, regardless of whether he's alive or dead." Her voice was extremely cold.

Yvette nodded heavily.

In less than five minutes, the ambulance arrived.

At the hospital.

Nicole had never felt time pass so slowly and gruelingly.

Every minute exhausted her patience.

She sat there quietly with her head down until Mitchell brought a tissue to her eyes.

"Ms. Stanton, don't cry..."

Mitchell spoke with difficulty and did not know how to feel either.

Only then did Nicole realize that at some point, tears were streaming down her face.

She could no longer hold back. Her shoulders trembled violently as she choked out a sob with her head hung low.

Terror and fear came in bursts. She admitted that she was completely frightened.

What she was most afraid of was that Eric would die.

The doctor suddenly pushed the operating room door open.
