Inside Nicole’s cabin.The room was spotless, comfortable, and luxurious. As soon as Nicole opened her eyes, she heard Kai’s hysterically excited cry. “Nicole’s awake!!”Nicole felt like her eardrums were about to shatter, but at the same time, it felt dear to her heart.The sunlight shone through the window and spilled on the floor. Drops of water gently tapped the cabin’s window from the waves lapping around the ship. In the distance, soft fluffy clouds dotted the sunny blue sky.It was beyond beautiful.Nicole gently moved her hands, which felt clumsy and heavy because they were wrapped in gauze.Kai sat by her bedside. His eyes were red.“Lil N, since your plane crash, I’ve been trying to find you at sea for so long. I’m finally able to bring you now… I promise to buy you whatever you want!”Nicole hooked her lips. This felt like an unrealistic beautiful dream, but the strong smell of disinfectant filled her nasal cavity and brought her back to reality. ‘I’m alive! I surviv

Nicole was slightly stunned. Her heart shook and her eyes instantly became sore. She quickly lowered her head to hide her emotions. ‘Eric…’Nicole knew very well that if it was not for Eric Ferguson, she would never have had a chance to survive.However, how was she supposed to repay him for saving her life?The doctor quietly left, and the room fell silent again.Nicole’s chest felt heavy, like a boulder pressing down on her, making it hard to breathe.At this time, Kai quietly slipped in and sighed with relief when he saw no one else there.“If it wasn’t for the fact that they saved you, I wouldn’t have put up with those fools! These past few days have been so suffocating!” Kai complained.Nicole laughed and asked, “How are dad, G, and Mav?”Kai went over and stroked her hair.“Mav’s right here on the deck. If it weren’t for him, I would still be roaming around where your plane crashed, literally searching for a needle in a haystack. I guess having a high IQ has its advantag

Nicole felt an oncoming headache.Before this, Nicole had always thought that Nathaniel was just a poor explorer.Had she known that Nathaniel was Eric Ferguson’s nephew, she would not have promised so blatantly that she would support him for the rest of her life.‘I can’t afford to take care of this gentry!’ Nicole thought.“I…”Before Nicole could finish her sentence, Kai interrupted her. “Is the Ferguson family trying to blackmail us? Just state your price then. It’s not like we can’t afford this money!”‘It’s merely $15 billion! Only those pirates who haven’t seen the world think it’s so much anyway.’Kai then looked at Nathaniel and frowned. “Where do you get the cheek to cling onto our family, huh? Feeding you is just a waste of resources! Get lost!”Nathaniel did not mind Kai’s attitude. Instead, he smiled politely at Kai. “Third Brother... I’m young, strong, and obedient. I swear it’s not a waste of resources to help me. What’s more, I can support myself too. All I want

Nicole lowered her eyelids and stroked Tigger, who was in her arms. She looked like she was done talking to him.Even so, Eric refused to give up. ‘How could I give up so easily? I deserved that stab in the heart!’Eric smiled miserably and made an effort to look warm.He looked down and took out a photo he had been staring at countless times from his pocket. His fingertips were white from pinching it so hard.Nicole had saved his life before, but she had never mentioned it.Eric did not believe that she would really forget all those feelings she had for him.His voice was magnetic and raspy as he said, “Nicole, I still owe you a life. You never told me that the person in the photo was you.”If Eric had known that it was her, then he would not have ignored her existence in their marriage.At the very least, he would not let their marriage come to such a disastrous end.Nicole glanced at that photo. Her expression stiffened as she was stunned.Her breath stalled for a moment.

After hanging up the phone, Kai looked at Eric with a hostile gaze.“What are you doing here? No one’s here to help you now!”Before this, Eric relied on his army buddies to carry Kai, who refused to budge, out of the way. It was simply bullying, and Kai felt humiliated.Eric’s gaze was dark. “I’ll contact my friend who’s a psychiatrist.”The psychiatrist who Eric recommended was probably great, but Kai immediately refused.“No need for that. Grant will get it sorted, so you don’t need to worry about it.”Eric wanted to say something else, but Maverick also agreed with Kai and politely refused Eric’s offer.After all, a psychiatrist would get into one’s privacy and weaknesses, and Nicole must not want her weaknesses to be seen by Eric or his friends.Late at night.Kai was resting on the sofa outside Nicole’s room.Eric sat by Nicole’s bed and quietly looked at her face that kept changing in her sleep, which was sometimes nervous, scared, or calm.He did not feel sleepy at a
