Right Person, Wrong Time

Chapter 655

Chapter 655

Nicole slept through the night while Colton stayed and did not leave her side even for a second.

Anna called him the following day, saying that Benedict had finally left his room. He looked rather bleak and pale but refused to tell them anything.

Colton briefly explained the current situation to Anna. Then, an aghast Anna hurriedly asked, "How's Nicole now?"

"She's fine." Colton looked at Nicole, who was still unconscious on the bed and shook his head. "Don't worry about her, Mom. She fainted, that's all. She'll be fine soon. Take care of Grandpa."

Anna heaved a sigh of relief when she heard that Nicole was alright. "Okay. I'll look after your grandfather. Watch over Nicole. Let me know if anything crops up," she urged.

Colton gave a light hum of agreement and ended the call.

The weather in the morning was terrible as it was raining cats and dogs. One could hear the sound of rain against the window from inside the room. The raindrops hit the glass panels and produced a loud pattering sound.


He went to the window to draw the curtain to a close. It was 6.00AM, the sky was still overcast, and there was nary a hint of sunlight due to the rain clouds.

None of the lights in the room was turned on. There was only the dim street light that barely illuminated the place, which made the whole room look dark and dreary.

Colton walked back to the bed and looked down at Nicole. His face showed barely concealed worry for her well-being. She's been sleeping for almost a day. So, why isn't she awake yet?

After he stewed in his anxiety for a while, he couldn't bear it any longer, so he called Julian.

On the other end of the line, Julian sounded drowsy as he answered the call. Colton had called him at a rather ungodly hour. He was still so tired that it was a chore to even open his eyes to slits. "Yes, Boss? What's the matter?"

"How's Pierre? Is he awake now?" Colton asked.

"Nope. He's been unconscious since I took him away. I've tried different methods to wake him up but failed. If you want, I can dissect him and see what's going on with him," Julian teased.

Colton asked coldly, "Pierre has that spray with him, doesn't he? Have you run some tests on it?"

"Yes," Julian answered. "It's mainly ether and a few other ingredients, but they aren't harmful. They only cause someone to fall into a deep sleep."

Julian crawled to bed late last night and had only decided to catch some sleep after everything was settled. Alas, his rest was cut short by Colton's call.

"Okay. Good to know."
