The Deserted Rich Beauty (Nicole and eric)

Chapter 2186 No Signs of Life

Nicole stood there among the crowd. People were screaming and crying loudly.

They knelt there with terrified faces and the indescribable grief of losing their loved ones.

It felt as if an invisible wall formed in front of her, forming two different worlds.

Nicole looked at the ruins with a pale face.

Euan, who was on the side, walked over with a dismal expression. He looked like a mess because he

participated in the rescue just now. His body was covered in dirt.

He looked at her and hesitated to speak.

The emotions in his eyes were very complicated.

“Ms. Stanton, during the earthquake just now, the surface fractured, and the boulder fell down when the

first tremors hit. Mr. Sloan and three other people who were standing there fell off the cliff together.

They didn’t have a chance to react.”

This was the cruel truth.

Nicole’s face was dreary and tense as she looked at the large surface that had disappeared in

disbelief.

There was still some loose rubble at the fracture, and the place was surrounded by people at the

moment.

Clayton was just standing there and talking to her just now. He hugged her, and she could still feel the

warmth from his arms.

How was that possible?

At that moment, she stood there at a loss, not knowing what to think.

An indescribable sadness emerged from the bottom of her heart and spread to her whole body, making

her tremble and panic. Every nerve in her body felt numb and painful.

It felt as if someone was strangling her neck and suffocating her like she was on the verge of death.

Nicole wanted to go forward to take a closer look, but Euan stopped her.

“Ms. Stanton, it’s still dangerous there. I heard that there will still be aftershocks, so don’t go there!”

Nicole’s mind was blank at this moment, so she could not react to anything.

She just wanted to go there to find Clayton. Maybe Clayton fell on a tree and was waiting for her to

save him!

A bit of hope rose in her heart as she thought about it.

She stubbornly pushed Euan away.

“I have to save him…”

From the moment Nicole and Clayton decided to be together forever, Nicole never imagined what

would happen if Clayton disappeared from her life.

She remembered that their relationship did not start off vigorously like those who fell in love at first

sight. They also did not have many twists and turns in their relationship.

It was always Clayton’s initiative and approach that slowly softened Nicole’s heart. That was how he

walked into her world.

Nicole was used to his existence because he was like the sun that illuminated her whole life.

Clayton risked his life for her and gave up everything for her. He stayed in Mediania to start anew

because of her.

His appearance erased all the unhappiness in Nicole’s past. Nicole hoped that she could wake up next

to the gentle and warm Clayton every morning until the day she died.

However, they had only been together for such a short time, and he disappeared like this.

Unknowingly, Nicole felt tears streaming down her face.

Euan stopped her with all his might.

“Ms. Stanton, you really can’t go there. It’s too dangerous! Everyone is waiting for the rescue team.

Please be patient!”

Euan regretted proposing this project and regretted that Nicole did not agree to it.

He also regretted that this natural disaster took down a man that he admired.

If something were to happen to Nicole, Euan would feel even more guilty.

Thus, he wanted to save anyone he could.

Earlier, Euan ran out of the hotel without Nicole completely out of his instinctive self-protection.

In that kind of situation, everyone would naturally save themselves first.

However, Euan was not a bad person. When he saw the people outside screaming in horror, he did not

remain indifferent and immediately got involved in helping to rescue others.

When he got to this place, he saw the boulder breaking off from the cliff, and all four people, including

Clayton, fell down.

Euan did not even have time to run over.

He did not even dare to think about that horrifying moment because he knew that the outcome was

tragic.

“Patient?! How can I be patient?! Mr. Churchill, you recommended us to this stupid place! Why did you

recommend this kind of place? If we didn’t come here, this wouldn’t have happened!”

Nicole yelled at him in a hoarse and crying voice.

Euan stood there speechlessly, overwhelmed with embarrassment and guilt.

However, he could not help it.

He could not have predicted a natural disaster.

Nicole cried, pushed Euan away, and ran to the edge of the cliff.

She could not see the bottom of the cliff because the mist halfway up the mountain covered the scene

below. She looked down and could only see white and gray clouds. The greenery seemed to be

covered with a layer of darkness. Everything looked bleak and cold.

It looked like a giant beast that could swallow anything in one gulp and would not refuse anyone who

jumped down.

Nicole’s eyes darkened. Her whole body was tense. There would only be trees a few thousand meters

down below, and Nicole could not see any signs of life.

That kind of despair instantly pervaded her body.

Nicole could not wait to plunge in.

If she jumped down, would she be able to find Clayton?

Nicole could not control herself as soon as she had that thought.

She was in a trance. Her chest felt heavy, the sad howling and cries for help were like a siren song that

lingered in her ears. She felt even more desperate.

Euan was holding her back and did not dare to let go.

However, Nicole really wanted to go down and have a look. Was Clayton very scared at that time?

They did not even have time to say goodbye.

If it was not for Euan, they would have gone back to the hotel together. Clayton stayed back only

because he did not want to see Euan.

No matter what, Nicole hated Euan.

“Mommy, Mommy…”

Chatty’s voice approached from behind.

Perhaps because of their blood relation, Nicole could clearly recognize Chatty’s voice from the crowd.

Nicole shuddered and quickly turned her head.

Gradually, Euan pulled Nicole away from the cliff.

Nicole’s eyes were teary as Chatty threw herself into her arms.

In an instant, the feeling of Chatty’s soft little body instantly replaced the darkness and despair that

Nicole felt.

Nicole gently hugged Chatty’s small body and cried softly. NovelDrama.Org

She thought, ‘What was I thinking? If I jumped down the cliff in front of Chatty, it would traumatize

Chatty forever.’

That would be too cruel to Chatty.

However, Nicole could not restrain the grief of losing Clayton which surged constantly like a geyser.

“Look, the rescue plane is here!”

“We’re saved…” Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

“Come and save us! My husband is still inside, and my child is missing…”

“Help! Save us!”

…...

The noise flooded Nicole’s ears.

Nicole also felt her vision dimming.
