Chapter 2254 Someone Escaped
Nicole nodded, “Forget it. Since it’s gone, don’t waste time looking for it. Pack up your things. We’re leaving tomorrow.”
Roland and Logan nodded.
Nicole heard Chatty far away shouting Fischer’s name.
Chatty’s clear baby voice was very recognizable.It looked like she came back from shopping with Kai.
The servants carried shopping bags of various sizes from the car.Roland was slightly stunned.
“So many presents?”
Logan was already used to it. “It’s for the family. The Third Young Master is really generous.”
Roland, who had never seen this before, felt that he had learned a lot.
Roland only saw so many gifts when he was tasked to prepare New Year’s gifts for Clayton’s business partners and family.
Kai came in with a smile. His smooth jawline made him look extraordinarily handsome and suave.
“Where’s my sister?”
Logan smiled and replied, “Inside.”
Kai nodded. He saw that Chatty was running around looking for Fischer and did not forget to tell her to be careful.
Then, he turned around and went to the living room inside.
Nicole sat there leisurely, drinking coffee. The rich aroma of coffee filled the air, which gave off a relaxing vibe that afternoon.
She crossed her legs on the sofa and covered herself with a blanket. When she saw Kai walking in, she smiled absent-mindedly and asked, ‘Third Brother, you guys shopped until now?”
Kai clicked his tongue. “Chatty is really like you… She has so many opinions when we shop. When I wanted to buy everything in the store, she said I have no taste and even looked down on my choices. She has the same stupid habits as youl”
Nicole lifted her chin and said with a smile, ‘That’s called being particular. Of course my daughter is like me.”
The butler came in with a cup of coffee. Kai took it with a smile and chatted with Nicole for a while.
Seeing that Logan and Roland brought Chatty upstairs, Kai sat back and looked at Nicole solemnly.
“I met someone.”
Nicole blinked. She did not understand why Kai was so serious all of a sudden.
“It’s Yasmin, or Angie. Eric’s ex-wife?”
Nicole’s smile froze for a moment before it subsided.
“Yasmin?”
Kai nodded, took a sip of coffee, and put it on the table.
“She probably snuck out by herself. For some reason, she hid in my car, but I didn’t let her go. I don’t know why she’s here. Does Eric know about it?”
Nicole took a deep breath. Her face was serious and glum. However, she felt that it was weird.
If this was the case, then they would have a breakthrough in finding Sebastian.
This was simply a good opportunity presented to them.
“She has nothing to do with Eric. She’s not Angie. She’s a test subject…” Nicole paused.
‘Test subject?”
Kai was in disbelief.
Nicole nodded. She did not want to tell Kai about what she saw before because she was not interested in the project and felt disgusted by it.
However, she could not hide it from Kai anymore now that they reached this point.
Thus, Nicole told him everything in detail. Kai’s complexion changed. It was complex and gloomy.
“What the hell…”
Kai could not find a suitable adjective to express his mood.
If Sebastian could really bring the dead back to life, it could really change the world. It was difficult to criticize the progress of science and technology.
However, he could not bring himself to praise Sebastian either.
Thus, Kai stayed out of it and did not know what evaluation was appropriate.
Kai frowned. “I even thought of sending her to Eric just to annoy him. I guess all that thought was for nothing.”
The corner of Nicole’s mouth twitched. “Leave her to me. It looks like we won’t be able to leave tomorrow.”
Now that Nicole had the opportunity to go back onto the cruise ship, she did not want to give up like that. What if it was too late?
No matter how hard Nicole tried to persuade herself to ignore Jeff, she could not stop thinking about his figure in the wheelchair.
Even if he was an insignificant person, she wanted to try her best to save him.
Kai raised his eyebrows and looked at her.
“Of course. Just do as you please. I kept her locked up in a hotel downtown.”
After that, Kai stood up.
Nicole pursed her lips, put on her shoes, and walked out with her phone.
‘Third Brother, I’ll leave the kids to you. I need to go out for a bit.”
She found Leighton’s business card that Camille gave her.
Before this, she did not look at it carefully.
There was no company title on Leighton’s business card. Only his name and contact information was provided.It was simple and elegant.
Luca watched Nicole walk out and opened the car door for her without hesitation.
“Miss, where are you going?”
Nicole told him the address of the hotel and got into the car.
Someone answered the call as soon as she dialed the number.
“Hello.”
“I’m Nicole.”
“Ms. Stanton?” Leighton’s voice was hoarse.
Nicole sighed. ‘Yasmin escaped. She’s now in a hotel downtown. She must know more about the project than I do, so if you’re interested, do you want to come along to talk to her?”
“Of course. We’ll meet you there.”
Although they had already left a while ago, they would rush over for such an important matter no matter how far away they were.
After they hung up the phone, Leighton told Camille about it.
Camille was overjoyed.
“l’ll contact the company to get the hospital’s laboratory ready. That way, we can see how far Sebastian has gone in his experiment.”
Leighton nodded thoughtfully.
They arrived quickly and got there before Nicole’s car arrived.
However, they did not dare to act rashly because they were afraid that they would alarm Yasmin by going up first.
When Camille saw Nicole getting out of the car, she stepped forward excitedly.
“Ms. Stanton, thank you so much. We didn’t expect such a big surprise.”
Leighton frowned slightly and asked, “Ms. Stanton, did you suddenly change your mind?”
Nicole knew that Leighton had misunderstood, but she was not angry. Instead, she explained with a faint smile.
‘Yasmin hid in my brother’s car. I didn’t know about it until he came back. I also hope you guys can find Sebastian because I have a very important friend with him. I’m afraid something would happen to him…”
Camille immediately understood. She sighed and went over to hold Nicole’s hand.
“Don’t worry, Ms. Stanton. We’ll do our best.”
Nicole nodded.
Everyone went in straight.
Kai had always been meticulous in doing things, and he would not lie to Nicole.
He told her that he had people watching Yasmin and booked out the entire floor. There was also a line of bodyguards standing at the door of the room. Unless Yasmin jumped out from the window of the 70th floor, she would not be able to leave the place.
The person standing closest to the door was Kai’s bodyguard, who recognized Nicole and nodded immediately.
“Good day, Ms. Stanton.”
Nicole walked over with a smile. “Is she inside?”
The bodyguard nodded.
Nicole looked at Camille, approached the door, and knocked on it.
They could hear footsteps inside. Soon after, someone came to open the door.
