Right Person, Wrong Time

CHAPTER 1006 AFTER THE CHOICE

A smile of delight tugged on Nicole's lips, and she nodded. "I know. I'll see him once my wounds have healed."

Colton stroked her cheek. It felt warm and soft to the touch. If possible, he wanted to keep touching it forever.

Then, Nicole was reminded of Sasha, and her face darkened slightly. "What about Sasha's case?"

"She's still in the nation. I've set up a trap for her, and the hospital's security has been enforced. I'll keep you and Hayden safe, so don't worry," he reassured. It was because of his carelessness that his woman was hurt, and he would not forgive himself for that.

"Alright." She stared down. She was not a saint; she would never forgive anyone who had inflicted such pain on her. "What about Evelyn?" she asked. At the thought of these two women, she was overcome by fury, as they were the ones who killed her child.

"She went abroad," said Colton calmly.

Nicole clenched her blanket, her pupils constricting slightly. She gritted her teeth, and fury flared in her eyes. A moment later, she finally calmed down and asked flatly, "The Wrenns helped her, didn't they?"

Seeing the injured look on her face, he couldn't bear to tell her the truth, so he remained silent.

The woman, however, could already guess it. She buried her head in her hands, sadness filling her heart, and tears fell through the cracks between her fingers. She sobbed and trembled from the pain she felt in her heart. She could let go of the fact that Evelyn took what was rightfully hers, and she could let go of the fact that Jackson and Siobhan took Evelyn's side. However, she couldn't conceive they would still help her, even though she had killed their biological daughter's unborn child.

Seeing her so agitated made Colton's face fall. He wrapped an arm around her shoulders and softly said, "Don't worry. I don't care who's helping Evelyn, but if I find out she's involved, I will make sure she answers for her crimes."

For the first time in her life, Nicole felt like she could rely on someone. She wiped her tears away and said, "I won't let anyone who hurt my child escape, no matter who they are."

The man nodded in silence. He chatted with her for a bit before a call came in. It appeared the call was about something important, as his face turned grim after the call. He then left without a word.
