Chapter 742 The Hired Killer

The sky was dark, and there was heavy traffic downstairs.

This winter seemed to be extra cold because the wind was bone-piercing

Nicole felt hungry.

.

She saw someone in the convenience store across the street downstairs eating a hot dog. She was very tempted.

Nicole had not eaten a hot dog in years.

She suddenly got an appetite. After some thought, she chose to give up the hotel’s five-star chef’s handiwork.

Nicole put on her jacket, grabbed her purse and phone, and went downstairs dressed casually and comfortably.

When she got to the convenience store, she completely forgot about her regular diet.

The smell of the hotdog was really enticing. She sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and wolfed down the hotdog.

After eating, she sat for a while longer and watched as the cars outside gradually diminished.

The glow of the streetlights permeated with a chill.

Before she could cross the street, the traffic light on the pedestrian crossing changed

The truck roared away. Nicole fell to the ground and heard some part of her body break. Her body twitched in pain.

She was not so lucky this time to have Eric pushing her away from the back.

The real pain hit her. After the numbness faded, she felt a cramping, bone-piercing pain.

Her eyes dimmed, and her mind was dizzy. The surroundings felt extremely silent.

She could not speak, but her eyes were looking at the sky.

The man behind her picked her up. His voice was vaguely familiar.

Nicole struggled to distinguish it. It was Clayton Sloan.

“Nicole, don’t fall asleep! You’ll be at the hospital soon…”

She had never seen this side of Clayton. His mask of warmth and modesty was removed. He looked frantic with scarlet eyes as he held her shoulders carefully and
