Chapter 282
The Divorced Billionaire Heiress
Chapter 282 Because He Said Youâre His Life
Nicole was a little confused by that title. Eric touched his nose, stood up, and looked a little diffident
when he swept a glance at Nicoleâs faceâ¦.
However, as soon as Eric turned around, he looked at the group of soldiers behind him with a glum face
and said, âKeep quiet!â Everyone subconsciously quieted down for fear of Ericâs strong aura.
However, they still stretched their necks to look at Nicole and refused to leave.
Nicole chuckled and looked in the direction of the door.
Her voice was gentle and soft. âHi guys, thanks for risking your lives to save me.â She was incredibly
grateful from the bottom of her heart.
If not for them, Nicole might have died on that island long ago.
âYouâre welcome, sis. Weâre fellow Medianians, and weâre really proud of what youâve done! Besides
Ferg, youâre the only one in this world who dares to point a gun at the pirate captain Davidâs head.â
âYeah! You and Ferg truly are a perfect match!â â¦â¦ The tall man in a white doctorâs coat standing at the
front helplessly walked over.
âIâm going to do a follow-up check. Will you guys keep it down?â After saying that, Dr. Jackson looked at
Eric and said, âTake this bunch outside.â )) Ericâs dark gaze was somewhat hesitant.
He glanced at Nicole, then walked out. âYou too.â The doctor looked at Kai.
Kaiâs face, which was still smug a moment ago, was instantly dreary. He then reluctantly walked out of
the room.
Every time Kai came over to take care of Nicole, he would be âinvited outâ by Ericâs group of soldier
buddies, who were just helping Eric to get some alone time with Nicole.
Kai was so upset and did not think that he would still be treated like this even after Nicole was awake.
The room finally quieted down.
Nicole smiled and looked at the doctor. â Thank you, doctor. Sorry for the trouble.â . The doctor raised his
eyebrows and shook his head.
âYouâre not the same as legend says.â As he talked, Jackson took out a series of instruments to test her
heart rate and wounds.
âWhat legend?â Nicole asked. âWell, from what we saw on the news, the heiress of Stanton Corporation
is pampered, arrogant, and has a temper.
Eric once said that youâre quite the stubborn and capricious characterâ¦â This doctor was really direct.
Nicole was a little stunned.
If Eric could say this to him, it meant that they had a close relationship. She did not want to continue this
discussion and changed the topic.
âDoctor, how is Nathaniel, the guy who left with me?â The doctor paused for a moment, âHeâs fine. He
can eat and sleep just fine.
He finally knows his place after getting beaten up by Eric.â Nicole was taken aback. âWhy did Eric beat
him up?â âYou donât know that heâs Ericâs nephew? The Ferguson family didnât like that heâs an explorer
and cut off his allowance because of this, but he somehow found the resources by himself and ran off to
that island alone.
The Ferguson family didnât even know where he went, and heâs been reported missing for three months!
If not for saving you this time, heâs probably still unaccounted forâ¦â
Nicole was stunned.
Her mind suddenly flashed back to her semi-conscious state when Nathaniel yelled âUncle Ericâ.
That meant Nathaniel, whom she met by accident, was really Ericâs nephew.
What a small world! a Nicole thought of something and asked, Are those people earlier soldiers? Were
there any casualties when they fought off the pirates?â If there were, she would feel extremely guilty.
The doctor bowed his head to redress her wound and gave her another injection. He laughed when he
heard this. âNo casualties on our side, but the pirates did have some.
Youâre the one who caused them too. Those people out there, including myself, are Ericâs army buddies
from the same brigade back then.
The sea surrounding the island you landed on is pirateâs territory, so governments wonât send troops
over. Eric only managed to bring us over this time because he went to beg our admiral.
This time, weâre not helping as official soldiers, but on our own accord so that it wouldnât cause any
political conflict.â Nicoleâs chest felt a little heavy like she had been struck by a hammer.
The doctorâs words made her feel like she owed Eric more than ever. âThank you, guys. If you hadnât
been able to come, I might not have survivedâ¦â The doctor shook his head and gave her a meaningful
lookâ¦â¦
âIf you want to thank someone, you should thank him. We know that youâre both divorced, but everyoneâs
still willing to come with him because he said that youâre his life.â 3 They could not just stand by and
watch Eric lose his lifeâ¦â¦â¦
