Chapter 69

Eric Ferguson felt his heart clenched and

his eyes darkened. He did not know

anything about Nicole. He was unaware

that she could play the violin so well, nor

did he know that she smoked.

“I never smoked in front of you because I

was afraid you wouldn’t like it before, so o

f course, you never had the chance to see

Every time Nicole donated blood, she

would feel very weak. Eric accompanied

Wendy Quade, and Nicole’s only company

was cigarettes. Nicole was particularly

addicted to smoking during those tough

days.

The corners of Nicole’s lips hooked up.

but her eyes were slightly despondent. A

moment later, she returned to her usual

self.

She glanced at Eric’s drooping eyes and

smiled playfully

“Want to hear my conditions?”

Without waiting for his reply, Nicole went

straight to the point.

“Get Wendy Quade to give me however

much blood I’ve donated to her. It doesn’t

have to be in one go. Anyway, she can

finish repaying me within a year.”

Eric’s head jolted up. “What?”

Nicole laughed. “I thought about it. My

blood is so precious, so I should use it to

save people who are actually worth

saving, rather than wasting it on this vile

woman. I was so stupid before, but it’s

still not too late to wake up from my

delirium. I want my blood back. In exchange, I’ll give you the pipe, then we

won’t owe each other anymore.”

Wendy Quade was only trying to spite

Nicole, so from time to time, she would

pretend to be sick or hurt and would ask

Nicole to transfuse blood to her. Nicole

knew all about it, but Eric never saw

through it. In the past, Nicole would feel

aggrieved, but now, it all seemed

irrelevant

Once Wendy returned her blood, Nicole

could draw a clear line with the past and

could finally feel whole again.

‘Isn’t Wendy Quade coming back soon? I

want to spite that woman! Which will he

choose? His family heirloom or Wendy

Quade?’ Nicole was looking forward to

Eric’s answer.

She smiled leisurely and threw the

cigarette butt in the ashtray in front of

her, then stood up and left the room with her purse. “You don’t need to give me an answer so quickly.

Think about it.” Looking at her back, Eric’s gaze became complicated all of a sudden. “How much did

Nicole hate Wendy? How much did she hate this marriage that she wanted to get back every single

drop of blood?’ Eric called his assistant Mitchell. “Check how much blood did Nicole donate to Wendy

throughout the years.” Mitchell paused for a moment before he

replied, “Yes, sir.”

Within a few minutes, Mitchell came back

with an answer to Eric’s question.”

President, Ms. Nicole has donated a total

of 14,400 ml of blood to Ms. Quade. The

total amount of blood of an adult is about

4,000 to 5,000 ml. The blood donated by

Ms. Nicole over the years is equivalent to

the total amount of blood in three adults.

That means Ms. Nicole had drained every

drop of blood from her body three

times…”

As soon as Mitchell finished his

sentence, Eric hung up the phone.

‘She literally bled herself dry three times

because of me?!

However, he was completely unaware of

her grievance and fortitude in the past

three years.

Eric’s heart felt like it was pressed down b

y a boulder and he found it hard to

breathe.

Nicole’s condition was to get Wendy to

pay her back within a year. This showed

someone on the phone.

Seeing Nicole, Gerard quickly said a few

words and hung up. He strode over and

said politely, “Ms. Nicole, did you have a

pleasant chat?”

“It is for me, but probably not for the guy

inside…” Nicole gave a faint smile.
