Nicole felt some fear and uneasiness for no reason.The unknown destination and the people around her made Nicole feel uneasy.Her hand that was placed on her knee slowly clenched up.Caleb, who had been closing his eyes on the side, had opened his eyes at some point.He looked at Nicole sideways as if he wanted to chat with her.“You know what?”Nicole looked at him.Caleb said, “Eric Ferguson bought a flight ticket back tomorrow. This negotiation is over.”Nicole felt terrified at every word that came out of his mouth.His gloomy face had a light and meaningful smile. He looked at Nicole as if she was going to die soon.His gaze that was intolerant yet inquisitive made Nicole get goosebumps all over her body.The expression on Nicole’s face faintly stiffened. His gaze froze for a moment.Somehow, Nicole felt a kind of hopeless chill after Caleb said that. However, after the despair, she felt a kind of relaxation.It was a relaxation that was free from the mental burden.

Caleb, who was outside the door, felt amused and knocked on the door.“Go on, Ms. Stanton, what else do you want to say to Mr. Ferguson?” Caleb put the phone on the floor, not knowing whether to speak to her or to Eric.“Mr. Ferguson, you only have half an hour to come here. If you don’t come over, this place will be detonated, and Ms. Stanton will turn into ashes…”His voice was cold, hoarse, and a little out-of-control.The phone was on speaker mode, so Nicole could clearly hear Eric’s voice.Nicole’s tears kept flowing down her face.“Caleb, don’t you dare touch her!”Eric’s voice was also a bit manic and hysterical.Caleb laughed. “Mr. Ferguson, I’ll give Angie to you since I don’t want her anymore. Whether or not you can keep Ms. Stanton depends on your own ability.”His voice made people feel despair.Caleb knocked on the door and bid Nicole goodbye extremely politely.“Goodbye, Ms. Stanton.”It was as if he expected her certain death.What a way to torture people.

Nicole heard the phone ringing from inside the room, so Clayton naturally heard it from outside.In a few seconds, the sound of footsteps had arrived at her door.They were just one door apart.Nicole’s heart was beating extremely fast.“Nicole, is that you? Are you in there?”Clayton rapped on the door, nervous as hell.He hoped that he could hear her voice at this time.Eric’s name flashed on the phone screen.Eric was calling.Clayton saw it clearly and was even more certain of his speculation.The voice of the person downstairs was extremely loud. “One minute left! Irrelevant personnel must evacuate immediately! The bomb is about to explode!”Nicole could not help but shudder. “Clayton!Her tears streamed down her face. She took a deep breath.“Get out of here!”Even if Clayton’s arrival brought her infinite expectations, she would rather not have that hope now.Nicole already felt very calm to be able to hear his voice.She was not willing for them to die together.

Nicole struggled to survey this room. It felt very familiar, but she just could not remember it.Suddenly, she remembered.When Nicole came back from that deserted island, she stayed in this hospital.Director Sven personally received her.Nicole’s body was sore when she moved.Certain unforgettable things suddenly rushed into her mind.That desperate moment, that failed cooperation, Caleb’s gloomy smiling face, and Clayton’s firm gaze...In an instant, Nicole felt like she woke up from an elaborate dream, dripping with sweat.She sat up violently. Her hand was still stuck with needles, but she tugged on it. It was very painful, but she did not care.If it was not for Caleb drugging her, which made her weak, Nicole would probably think that it was all a dream.That would have been great.Unfortunately, that was not the case.The loud explosion from earlier made her heart tremble. Clayton protected her and blocked the danger of the blast for Nicole.Nicole could not believe

Grant walked over and slowly pushed Nicole back to the ward.Aida waited in Nicole’s ward and smiled as she saw that Nicole was already in a much better mood.“Do you want to eat something?”Nicole shook her head.“Alright. I’ll make some soup for you. You need to take good care of your body. Sleep for a while, and I’ll have the nurse come over to give you a shot.”Aida went out after saying that.Nicole took a deep breath. She refused to let Grant carry her and lay down on the bed by herself. She sighed and asked, “Big Brother, how did we get back?”She thought that at best, she would wake up in a hospital in Southeast Asia.It was simply unthinkable to end up back home.Grant was stunned for a moment. He walked over, sat down, and said in a slightly lowered voice, “Our people have been following Eric and Clayton. If either of them found you, I’d be the first to find out. So, after Clayton rescued you, our people immediately brought you back in secret.”Nicole paused and sen
