Right Person, Wrong Time

CHAPTER 1013 WHITNEY COMES

She's angry. Colton chuckled. "Yeah, but since they made their choice, I'll be the one taking charge of Nicole's case now."

Anna sighed. She knew her son too well and knew what he was going to do, so she patted his shoulder. "I know what you're thinking, but the Goulds and the Wrenns are powerful. We can't win easily."

"I know." Colton nodded. He mulled over the matter for a moment and said, "Keep an eye on Nicole. I think she's cutting ties with the Wrenns from now on."

Anna nodded. Colton had been trying to find the people who had hurt Nicole. "I know. Do what you have to do. I'll take care of things here."

…

After Nicole had a miscarriage, Whitney came to see her, but Whitney herself looked bad. Her face was pale, her cheeks were sunken, and she had dark circles under her eyes. Her head was hanging low, and she looked listless. Whitney looked at Nicole and took a careful step ahead. She was at a loss for what to do, and a moment later, she said, "Nicole."

Nicole had her eyes closed. When she heard someone opening the door, she thought it was Siobhan, so she didn't open her eyes. Only when she heard Whitney's voice did she open her eyes to look. She looks sickly. Nicole frowned. "What happened to you?"

Whitney used to be a carefree girl, unlike this cowardly husk of a woman. She dumbly shook her head and clasped her hands together nervously. "Just lost some sleep lately."

After days of recuperation, Nicole had healed up. She pushed herself up and leaned on the back of her bed, then she said, "Sit."

Whitney nodded and dragged a chair over, then she sat down.

Nicole sighed. "I'm fine. You didn't have to come. Look at you. Get some rest and don't run around."

Whitney hung her head low, looking dejected. She avoided seeing Nicole for a while because she was worried Douglas might find her. She did take Emily's money and agreed to leave him. She could imagine the look on Douglas' face if he knew she had taken money from Emily, and she couldn't face him.
