The Deserted Rich Beauty (Nicole and eric)
Chapter 392 Taking Care of Him by His Side

Before Nicole could leave, the hem of her shirt was tugged.

Eric sat on the hospital bed and leaned forward. It took a lot of effort for him to tug on her shirt.

Inadvertently, he pulled the muscles on his right leg. His face turned pale, and the pain caused him to break out in cold sweat.

Nicole was startled and hurriedly went forward." What's wrong?"

Eric lowered his head and endured the pain. The veins in his temples were bulging.

It was clear how much pain he was in.

"Call a doctor!" Nicole looked at Mitchell.

Mitchell froze before hurrying out.

Eric could not bear to see Nicole this worried.

He lifted his arm and gently touched her head.

Nicole froze, but she did not flinch for fear of him tearing his wound.

"I'm fine. It doesn't hurt..." His voice was husky and incoherent, but he still gave her a soothing smile.

Nicole's heart trembled slightly. She knew that he must be in a lot of pain.

In less than a minute, a team of doctors came.

Six experts did a checkup on Eric.

Nicole had the sense to make way for them.

Eric's gaze was fixed on her, clearly not wanting her to leave.

She stood at the doorway with her head lowered, messaging someone.

Ten minutes later, the examination ended.

"President Ferguson, it'll take a while for your right leg to recover because it's fractured. During this time, avoid strenuous activities. You can't walk either. You'll need at least half a year of rest to regain full mobility. Otherwise, it might leave an after-effect on your gait."

Fortunately, the most serious injury Eric suffered from this accident was a fractured right calf.

Eric let out an indifferent "mm".

The doctors continued helplessly, "It's best if you have someone to take care of your needs full time.

Otherwise, it'll affect your physical recovery." 1

Eric glanced at the doctor with his dark eyes as if he was saying, "Why are you so naggy?"

The doctors finished speaking and left the room.

Only Nicole and Eric were left inside because Mitchell followed the doctors out.

Once they were gone, Nicole finally noticed that there was a steel brace attached to Eric's lower right leg.

Her heart seized, but her face remained unmoved.

"I'll replace someone to take care of you."

"Why don't you take care of me instead?"

Eric smiled with gentle eyes. "After all, I only got injured because of you. Are you going to refuse?"

'This shameless man!' Nicole's gratitude towards him swept away in a flash.

Sure enough, he was the type to climb immediately if given a ladder and would not be afraid that he would fall to his death.

Nicole rolled her eyes so hard they almost turned to the back of her head. She scoffed coldly, "In your dreams!"

Eric smiled faintly. "If you take care of me, we'll call it even. Or... Do you want to owe me forever?"

His tone changed. "I don't mind, but my grandfather is bent on going to your house to propose a marriage alliance between our families. Will your father be able to refuse this time?" The room was dead silent.

After this incident, Floyd would not have the will to refuse if that really happened.

If it was just once, Floyd could put on a bold front and repay the debt another way.

However, twice was a bit of a stretch. The Stantons would be labeled ingrates if word of this spread.

Old Master Ferguson was a persistent man, so what if he was hell-bent on this?

Nicole's expression changed a few times before she finally took a deep breath.

"Fine. Only until you recover."

She would feel better if she agreed anyway.

After all, Nicole did not want to owe Eric too much.

Eric made no move to conceal his delight because he did not expect Nicole to agree so easily. Nicole frowned. "But... I don't want to go to the

Ferguson Villa..."

She wanted him to stay in the hospital since the doctors and nurses would be able to help.

Before she could say that, Eric interrupted the second half of her sentence decisively.

"Of course not. We're going home to Imperial Gardens."

Imperial Gardens was their wedding home.

She lived there before the divorce, and he stayed there after the divorce.

Nicole frowned slightly as her heart sank.

'Damnit! I agreed too soon!'
