Refuse to Touch You
Nicole was just about to rest when she received Toto’s call. She panicked, took her keys, and ran out.
Nicole felt guilty when she thought about Eric limping.
If his leg could never recover because of her, she was afraid that she would owe him for the rest of her
life. Luca drove, so the twenty-minute journey only took ten minutes.
They arrived at Imperial Gardens in a flash. As soon as Nicole went in, Toto greeted her in a panic.
“Ms. Stanton, Mr. Ferguson fell down the stairs.
He has a fever and is now unconscious!” Nicole knitted her brows. Her heart thumped when she heard
this. “Did you call a doctor?” Toto froze and immediately spoke.
“Yes… The doctor got into an accident on the way, so he’ll be delayed for a while.” are way some year
or a wmte Nicole went to Eric’s room and saw the man lying on the bed.
His face was pale with beads of sweat on his forehead. He really looked like he had a fever. so The
husky circled the bed and chewed on his cane on the side.
Nicole frowned. ‘How did he get a fever from a fall? Was it so serious?’ Toto was very anxious and
antsy. o “Ms. Stanton, what should we do? Mr. Ferguson can only be assured with you, so you can’t
leave now…” ) Nicole reached out.
As soon as she touched his forehead, a large hand clutched her wrist. Eric opened his eyes, which
were dark and deep with a hint of weakness. He seemed a little fragile and confused, but his grip was
strong. 다 Nicole could not break free.
She frowned “Nicole, you still care about me, don’t you?” His voice was hoarse, weak, and expectant.
SG Nicole looked at him calmly. “I’m responsible for your leg injury and s o I won’t sit idly by.” Eric’s
eyes darkened. The corners of his lips were pressed into a straight line.
His expression turned gentle. “Good. I feel at ease with you here.” 300 “That way, I won’t need to think
about what you and Clayton are talking about…? Eric thought to himself. He closed his eyes in time to
hide the flash of hostility in them.
No one noticed. Toto was holding ice and towels on the side, looking like he was in a dilemma. “Ms.
Stanton, Mr. Ferguson needs to cool down, so he won’t burn up.” Nicole nodded. She was just about to
give way to Toto when he quickly handed her the things.
“Oops, the doctor got into an accident on the way, so I have to pick him up now!” After that, he ran out
without another word because he was afraid of being shouted at. Nicole frowned and looked at the
expressionless Luca, who was standing in the corner SOS Luca nodded.
His tall figure slowly approached.
“Miss, let me…” Before Nicole could nod, a hand tightly clutched her wrist. She was stunned. Eric
struggled to open his eyes. His expression was complicated and ugly. “No need.
There’s nothing wrong with me. I don’t need to reduce my fever. I don’t want anyone else touching me
either.” He stared straight at Luca by the end of the sentence.
His deep gaze carried an inexplicable annoyance. ‘I didn’t get my way because of him! Since Luca was
Nicole’s bodyguard, Eric Since Luca was Nic bodyguard, Eric could not do anything to him either. Luca
did not even look at Eric because he only took orders from Nicole.
Nicole hesitated for a few seconds before she nodded at Luca.
“It’s okay. Why don’t you go with Toto?” Luca nodded, turned around, and left. Nicole and Eric were the
only ones left in the room.
The silence in the room was gentle. Nicole unconsciously picked up the ice and towel. “I’ll help you.”
