Maverick raised his eyes in surprise and looked at her. Clayton’s reaction was the biggest.
He took two steps forward but then retreated again.
The pained and torn look on his face could not be concealed at all.
Nicole’s chest sank, suddenly feeling that she had gone a bit too far.
She pursed her lips and looked up.
She opened her mouth but could not make a sound. “Let’s go to the hospital…” Kai urged.
To the side, Director Sven was also anxious.
In a flurry, everyone began to prepare to move to the hospital for a comprehensive examination.
Maverick came over with a cup of warm water and brought it to Nicole’s mouth.
Nicole looked at him gratefully. ’Mav is truly my brother! Kai must’ve been adopted!’
She finished the cup in one gulp, moistening her throat. That dry feeling instantly dissipated, and she felt much better.
Nicole coughed heavily.
She looked at Kai. Her voice was still a little hoarse, but she could finally speak.
“I remember now. You have to give me a cruise ship!” The room was suddenly silent.
Even the doctors froze.
Kai suddenly burst out in laughter.
The hostility that flashed across his face just now instantly disappeared.
Kai heaved a sigh of relief and patted Floyd’s shoulder.
”Yup, that’s our Lil N alright. No one else in the Stanton family is as insatiable as her!”
Floyd also understood and looked at Kai.
“Aren’t you the same?” Kai was speechless.
Clayton slowly stepped forward and looked at Nicole. “What about me?”
The two of them locked eyes at once. Nicole’s smile faded.
Clayton’s eyes were dark and heavy. There were dense and deep emotions brewing inside. It seemed like no one could see through them.
Nicole’s voice was low and hoarse. ”It’s not your fault, Clayton.”
It was just a few words.
Clayton’s eyes instantly reddened. It was like he finally broke down after trying to suppress his emotions.
His tall and upright body would soon be tortured to death by his own guilt.
The Sloan family never held back.
Clayton learned that firsthand.
However, Clayton could not tolerate such tactics being used on Nicole!
The moment Clayton saw the unconscious Nicole in the warehouse, Clayton almost took a gun and shot Quavon.
However, Logan pulled him back, and Nicole held his hand, not letting go.
Clayton felt like dying.
He did not dare to imagine it. The warehouse was stored with flammable goods.
In just a few minutes, the fire would spread to the inside.
Once it started to burn, it would be impossible to control the fire.
He almost lost her.
Seeing her wake up and open her eyes, Clayton suddenly felt so elated like he had escaped from death’s clutches.
No one blamed Clayton because it simply had nothing to do with him.
However, Clayton hated himself. ’Why is my last name Sloan?’
Floyd faintly glanced at the emotions overflowing between the two people, sighed, and pulled Kai out of the room.
Director Sven also sensibly led the doctors out.
However, before he left, he looked at Nicole with a smile.
”You’ll have to go through a body checkup in ten minutes. Please be mentally prepared, Ms. Stanton…”
That meant that they were only given ten minutes.
Nicole nodded.
Maverick put down the cup and followed Floyd and the others out.
She heard Kai speak admiringly outside.
“Mav, how did you know that she would be able to talk after drinking water? I thought that she became mute and had a series of other after-effects after losing her memory. I was already prepared to have a disabled sister!”
Maverick’s tone was cool and calm.
”She just inhaled too much smoke. She didn’t get any other injuries. Burning building materials are non-toxic, so there won’t be toxic gas that will produce brain damage. So, she was just thirsty.”
Kai said, ”Oh…”
