Chapter 756

Several people went down one floor excited Iy. When they reached the ward where Clayton was,
everyone’s footsteps subconsciously lightened up.

Nicole’s wheelchair was silent. The only sound that could b e heard inside was the ticking of the medical
instruments.

Clayton was tired and was getting some shuteye. His complexion looked a lot better than before with a
hint of rosiness, so he did not look as weak and pale as before.

The five of them and a doctor formed a circle around the hospital bed and bent over to stare at Clayton
carefully.



They were staring at him unblinkingly as if they were looking for something.



Except for Nicole and the doctor, everyone else was eager to chat with each other about how good-
looking Clayton was.

Compared with Eric, although Clayton’s features were not as stunning as Eric’s, his gentle character
gave him extra points, enough to counteract Eric’s advantage.



However, they could not talk and only exchanged glances with each other. They really held back their
comments.

After a while, Clayton’s eyes seemed to flutter and open slowly.



Everyone held their breath and watched with excitement.

In a moment, a touch of shock and gloom subconsciously crossed Clayton’s eyes. His body trembled
slightly as if he was startled.

Everyone froze. Yvette, Julie, and lan bowed from the waist.

On the side, Nicole and the rest were stunned.

Yvette, Julie, and Ian said in unison, ”Thank you, Mr. Sloan for saving Nicole!”

Clayton squinted his eyes in confusion as his brain lagged. His face turned a few shades whiter, and he
pursed his lips i n silence.

He was clearly startled.

Nicole coughed on the side. She finally spoke up and did her best to lower her voice.

”Stop talking! It’ll scare him!”

Once Nicole spoke, Clayton gradually returned to his senses and reacted.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

The stiffness of his body relaxed.

“Nicole?” His voice was hoarse, but it carried a warm emotion.

Nicole looked at Clayton, who just regained consciousness, and smiled.

”Mr. Sloan, these are my friends, Yvette, Julie, and Ian.” Clayton pulled out a weak smile. “Hello…”



Julie said, ”Mr. Sloan, we came specially to thank you for saving Nicole. We know that we’ve disturbed
you, so we’ll leave now. We’ll treat you to dinner when we have the chance!”

Yvette nodded.

They shot each other a look and glanced at the door, then tacitly tiptoed and left the room quietly.

Clayton was speechless.

The doctor on the side breathed a sigh of relief. ’Great, they’re finally leaving!’

Nicole was just about to follow suit when Clayton suddenly moved his fingers and turned to look at her.

His voice was warm and light with a melodious and lingering tone.

“Nicole, are you worried about me?” She faintly froze and pursed her lips. ’Of course!’

However, she heard something strange in his words. If she admitted it, it seemed as if he would
overthink things.

After a few seconds of silence, the doctor on the side finally could not stand the awkwardness, so he
retreated.

The rest of the words were obviously not suitable for a third person to be present.

Clayton and Nicole were the only two people left in the ward.

Nicole could not hide. After all, Clayton was only lying here because of her.

She raised her eyes gently and smiled at him.

“Mr. Sloan, everyone was worried about you when you fainted.”



Clayton looked a little disappointed. “Nicole, you’re always avoiding me.”

He was not a fool, so how could he not hear the meaning in Nicole’s words?

Nicole’s body stiffened for a moment. She smiled with sincerity in her eyes.

“Alright. I am very worried about you, Mr. Sloan.”
