Chapter 2272
Chapter 2272 Accept It or Give It Up
The panic caused by the earthquake had not completely disappeared.
Therefore, neither Eric nor anyone could replace Clayton’s existence.
Kai was still thinking about what Nicole said just now.
He felt like he was hit in the head and could not react for a long time.
“Are you mistaken just like Chatty?”
How could Jeff be Clayton?
They had no similarities at all!
Nicole looked at him calmly.
‘Third Brother, I’m certain. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have risked my life for a stranger.”
Kai was silent for a long time.
After a long time, Kai asked her in a dry voice, ‘Then… What should we do? That guy woke up once. Leighton and the others asked him if he was willing to accept the risky
experiment and said that they could use Sebastian’s method. But they’ll change the risk assessment and experiment methods. This will give him a chance to stand up again.
But if it fails, his lower body will be completely amputated. He already agreed to it.”
Nicole’s expression suddenly changed, and her lips lost their color in an instant.
She subconsciously wanted to get out of bed, but she had no strength to support herself, so she fell.
There was a sharp pain in her knee.
For a moment, cold sweat came out of her forehead.
“LIEN…”
Kai quickly went over to pick her up.
Tears instantly filled Nicole’s eyes, and the sadness she felt was indescribable.
When Kai saw it, he felt heartbroken.
“Lil N, we didn’t know his identity, and he didn’t tell US anything. He agreed to undergo the surgery himself, and asked US to keep it from you…”
After he finished speaking, he looked at Nicole, who sat there in a daze as if her soul had left her.
Kai patted her head and felt so distressed that he did not know what to say for a moment.
“It’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have scolded you just now. I’m sorry for not watching after Clayton. I’m a fool!”
Kai choked up a little.
He seemed to realize that Clayton deliberately concealed his identity.
Clayton wanted a chance to stand in front of Nicole again, but he might fail to do so.
After a long time, Nicole raised her head and asked, “Where is he now?”
“I don’t know. Camille said that they need to conduct the experiment in secret and can’t disclose it to the public, so he was sent
to another place. I’ll help you find out…”
Kai’s voice trembled.
Nicole suddenly grabbed Kai’s hand, gritted her teeth, and shook her head.
“No, don’t.”
“Why not?”
The comers of Nicole’s mouth twitched to reveal a half smile that was a little cold and sad.
‘This is his choice and his life. It’s his decision to make whether he wants to risk it or not. I can’t force him to be trapped in my
shadow for the rest of his life just because of my selfishness.”
“You…”
Kai sighed.
His younger sister always had the most clarity, but she was also the most affectionate one.
Nicole said in a hoarse voice, “He had countless opportunities to come to me, but he didn’t. This coward! Even if he was forced
to recognize me, he would be unreconciled.”
‘Then you’ll just leave it be?”
Kai was anxious.
Jeff and Clayton had different positions in their hearts.
Soon, Kai no longer felt angry that Nicole saved an insignificant person.
Nicole pursed her lips. “Never mind. I did what I had to do.”
She looked at Kai.
“Regarding Eric and I, you shouldn’t promise him anything on my behalf. I’ll thank him myself.”
When she heard what Kai said just now, it sounded like Kai was on Eric’s side.
Kai understood what she said and gave her a look.
“Do you think I’m dumb? Don’t worry. No matter how much I appreciate him, I won’t sell you out.”
Nicole smiled. “Let’s get ready to go back home. I don’t want to stay here any longer.”
Nicole had a fair share of surprises and frightful experiences this time abroad.
Kai said, “Sure.”
Nicole was fit for discharge.

LJ Corporation had better medical technology than ordinary hospitals.
Thus, her condition was not worrying.
Before they left, Nicole watched as Camille said goodbye to Fischer.
Fischer got into Nicole’s car, reluctant to part from his parents.
Camille looked at her. ‘Thanks, Ms. Stanton.”
Nicole smiled and hesitated to speak.
“Ms. Malone, I need your help with something.”
“What is it?”
“Jeff has Golden blood?”
“Yes.”
Nicole said, ‘Then do you have anything to prove his DNA…”
She had been determined to bring him back and expose his disguise by doing a DNA test with Chatty.
If he did not want to admit it, then she would force him to admit it.
Camille frowned and looked at Nicole suspiciously.
“I do…”
Nicole paused. “Forget it. It doesn’t matter.”
She smiled and looked at Camille.
“It’s nothing. We’ll leave in two days. If you have time, do you want to come over and send Fischer off? We can have lunch
together at my place.”
Camille nodded.
Nicole turned around and walked to the car.
She looked up at the blue sky and white clouds just as a flock of pigeons flew by.
It was bright, and the air was clean and refreshing.
However, the gloom in her heart did not fade.
Never mind.
So what if she proved his identity?
When she got into the car, Kai glanced at her and said, “Mr. Ferguson invited US to the hotel for dinner to celebrate your survival. Shall we go?”
“Yes.”
Nicole answered bluntly.
Kai raised his eyebrows.
He did not say anything else.
This time, Eric saved Nicole and so many others.
No matter what happened in the past, they could not hold a grudge.
This time, Kai was impressed by Eric. In fact, if Eric could get rid of his selfish relatives in the Ferguson family, he would be perfect.
Eric and Nicole had known each other for so long, and after the divorce, he never forgot about Nicole.
Nicole almost got into trouble because of him many times before, but at the end of the day, besides Clayton, Eric was the only person worthy to be with Nicole.
Unfortunately, Clayton came back.
Regardless of whether he was Jeff or Clayton, Nicole had already recognized him, so it was impossible to pretend not to know.
Kai knew in his heart that this dinner was the end and not the beginning of their relationship.
There was no hope for Eric.
Everyone was happy to see Nicole back at the villa.
The servants were anxious when Nicole was missing.
Fortunately, she came back.
After Logan knew that Nicole was fine, he went back to Stanton Corporation.
Roland did not stay in the villa for too long, but he did not tell Nicole or Kai and arranged work for himself.
That undersea laboratory was a secret that only a few knew about.
Almost no one knew this experiment existed.
Thus, it was best destroyed.
Camille and Leighton also went to the villa at Nicole’s invitation.
Under Michael’s care, Fischer and Chatty became more naughty.
As soon as Nicole came back, Michael and the servants held a welcome banquet for her.
Having survived a catastrophe was something worth celebrating.
Nicole acted surprised and happy, but Kai knew that she was not that happy deep down.
