Right Person, Wrong Time

Chapter 299 Reunion

Benedict noticed the stunned look on Nicole’s face and the smile on his face grew.

“You were still young back then. Although you weren’t in your twenties yet, you were a decent young lady.”

As she stared at him, old memories seemed to gradually unfold in her mind.

The old man talked a lot and would often stop to chat with Nicole and her mother. As time passed, she slowly began to befriend the old man. However, he disappeared one day. When Nicole asked the doctors in the hospital, they told her that his family had picked him up and that they could not disclose his address.

“Y-You’re the old man from the hospital?!” Nicole asked with uncertainty.

Although the old man back in the hospital was very talkative, he had black hair and looked high in spirits.
