Chapter 391 Burn You
Mitchell sucked in a cold breath at Nicole’s words, not knowing how to answer.
However, the person lying on the bed pretending to be a corpse could no longer hold back and got up in the next second.
“You want to cremate me so soon?!”
Eric’s chest was heaving violently, but no one knew if it was because of suffocation o r anger.
He finally woke up after surviving a car crash, but he almost died from anger because of Nicole!
When Eric woke up, Mitchell described how worried and desperate Nicole had been in vivid detail.
Eric felt a vigor in his body again. ‘Looks like I didn’t get injured for nothing!
Unfortunately, he could not see for himself how sad Nicole had been for him.
Thus, Eric came up with the idea of playing dead.
“Maybe I can take this opportunity to get
“Maybe I can take to opportunity to get back together with her…!
However, Nicole only asked about his funeral arrangements as soon as she saw him “dead”.
Eric could not endure it.
Nicole stood there with a calm expression, looking at him with her arms crossed over her chest.
“Oh, so you weren’t dead?”
Eric was speechless.
It was fine if she did not show him the warmth and affection that he imagined, but why did she look disappointed when she found out that he was not dead?
Eric’s jaws tightened with an aggrieved look on his face. The corners of his eyes reddened, and he stared at her without speaking, Nicole was quiet for a second. Her heart turned bitter. She withdrew her taunting gaze.
“I’m glad that you’re not dead, Eric.”
She was extremely glad that he was alive.

As soon as he heard this, Eric smiled. The gloom from before vanished in an instant.
He reached out and pulled her into his
arms.
Nicole did not expect him to be so strong when he was injured, so she was unprepared and crashed into his embrace.
The refreshing minty smell of his body instantly swept over her consciousness. His heartbeat was strong and steady.
Her eyes subconsciously reddened.
She realized that he was hugging her tightly, but she did not struggle because she was afraid of agitating his wounds. He stroked her hair gently.
His voice was raspy and low. “I almost didn’t get to see you again…”
To him, this was the most regrettable thing,
The air was silent for a few seconds. His heartbeat got faster as he felt her warmth, Nicole looked up and rolled her eyes helplessly,
“Are you done? Or do you want me to
ou want me to
“Are you done? Or d break free by force?”
Eric reluctantly let go of her.
He smiled, looking pale and weak.
“Haha, I’m no match for you now...”
“Ahem-” Mitchell was at the door, not knowing whether to stay or to leave.
Did no one care about him being the third wheel?
The two people looked over. Eric’s eyes were sharp, cold, and dangerous as if he was going to skin him alive.
Mitchell’s lips twitched. ‘I didn’t do it on purpose!
“Don’t mind me… Just think of me as air!”
He bowed his head and tried to leave, but Nicole stopped him.
“Wait…”
“Here comes the reckoning! Mitchell cursed in his heart.
Mitchell turned around and saw that Nicole had already taken a few steps backt o distance herself from Eric.
o distance herself from Eric.
She looked at Mitchell with a cold and scrutinizing gaze.
“When you called me, you told me that there’s bad news… What was that supposed to mean?”
Mitchell froze and glanced at Eric, but the latter looked like he had no intention of helping him and wanted to push all the blame on Mitchell.
‘I need to cover for my boss now?!’
Mitchell forced a smile and explained, “O h, I didn’t get to finish my sentence… What I wanted to say was ‘Bad news, President Ferguson woke up and wants to be discharged!’ Hehe…”
He racked his brain to come up with this lie.
Nicole smiled and looked at Eric.
“You want to be discharged?”
Eric was silent for a moment before he nodded.
“It’s not convenient to work here. I want to go home.”
His serious expression did not look like he was joking.
Nicole nodded solemnly. After all, there would also be professionals taking care of him at home, so he might recover faster.
“Take care then…”
Nicole decided not to stop him from getting discharged from the hospital.
