Right Person, Wrong Time

Chapter 753

Chapter 753

The next morning, Hayden was told to pack his stuff while Nicole made her way to the hospital to take care of Betty's discharge. When she arrived at the hospital, Betty was lying in bed with her eyes closed, her hands clamping the blanket tightly.

Seeing that strange sight, she quickly stepped forward to find out what was wrong. She quickly had a bad feeling and sounded the bell to call for a doctor. At the sight of Betty's pained look, she asked, "What happened to her? She seemed fine yesterday."

After a quick examination, the doctor was able to identify the cause of Betty's condition. "Relax, Miss. The patient is only experiencing some discomfort because she took the wrong medication."

She took the wrong medication? The doctor's words made Nicole's blood boil as she shook from head to toe. Glaring at the doctor with her bloodshot eyes, she started to raise her voice and questioned the hospital's management. "What?! Did you just say she took the wrong medication? How could something like that happen in your hospital? Isn't the medicine prepared beforehand?"

In the meantime, the doctor also couldn't help but find it strange despite being pressured by Nicole's aggressive attitude. Medicine for mentally impaired patients like Betty was usually prepared with the right dosage beforehand. Thus, there was no way she could have ended up taking the wrong medication.


On the other hand, Nicole only closed her eyes in exhaustion when she noticed the doctor's silence. After taking a few seconds to calm herself down, she quickly realized someone must have been behind the matter. She sighed and was forced to put her emotions aside, asking, "Will she suffer from any side effects?"

The doctor looked at Betty and replied moments later, "She will have to go through gastric lavage now as the medicine hasn't been fully digested. She should be fine once we get rid of the medicine within her body."

Nicole nodded in response, whereupon the doctor wheeled Betty on her bed away. When Betty was on her way to receive her treatment, she appeared to come around for a bit. At the same time, she wouldn't stop calling out Nicole's nickname. "Nicole. Nicole…"

"I'm here, Ms. Betty." Nicole quickly walked closer to Betty and kept her eyes on the miserable lady.

While Betty could barely keep her eyes open, she used all her breath to say something the moment she saw Nicole's face. "Nicole, it was Madeline who did you wrong. She was the one…"

Nicole was bewildered when she heard Betty's revelation. After all, Madeline never treated her badly even when they were broke and she was cast out by the Anderson Family. For that, it never crossed Nicole's mind that her mother did her wrong at all. Nonetheless, she went on to comfort Betty, saying, "It's okay, Ms. Betty. My mother treated me well. She didn't do me anything wrong."

In that instant, Betty's eyes seemed crystal clear as something seemed to dawn on her. "Nicole, you and William are not related…"
