Chapter 793

"I-I'm fine, just that I'm anemic. Nothing much." Nicole sounded feeble.

Colton's brows knitted when he heard that, and his voice became serious. "You're anemic?"

"A little, but it's not serious." She lowered her gaze.

It happened after she gave birth to Hayden. In addition to her hectic working schedule, she usually skipped breakfast, which took a toll on her health. Still, she was already recovering from it. The main factor of her dizziness now was due to the excessive blood loss she experienced at once.

"You should've told me sooner about that." Colton was genuinely worried. Although anemia was nothing serious, he was worried that it would deteriorate her health, given the amount of blood she donated.

Nicole shook her head and said with equanimity, "It's a life and death matter. I can't possibly turn a blind eye to it. I'm fine. Don't worry, President Gardner."

Her intentional detachment prodded a smidgen of displeasure on his countenance. However, he did not say much and tightened the grasp around her wrist to pull her to himself. The lethargic woman followed along and rested herself against him.

"Since Madam Gould is alright, I'll leave for now," she piped up.

She initially thought the clog in Siobhan's brain would be threatening, but it did not seem serious, according to the doctor. Hence, she figured that it was pointless for her to stay on.

Colton nodded and replied softly, "I'll take you home."

As soon as he offered to drive Nicole home, Evelyn interrupted. "Colton, can't you keep me company?" She stepped forward, and her face was beet red from all the weeping. Her reddened eyes added more reason for one to pity her.

His lips became a firm line before he rejected heartlessly, "Madam Gould is safe from danger, and Mr. Wrenn and Gabriel will be here soon. You'll be fine alone."

Aggrievement was written all over her face at his callous rejection. Clenching her teeth, she clasped his wrist and continued her pitiable plead. "My mother hasn't regained consciousness, and I'm scared, Colton. Please don't leave me. You can leave once Dad and Gabriel are here."
