Right Person, Wrong Time

Chapter 798

Chapter 798

Nicole felt resigned as she looked at Zachary's gentle appearance. A bitter smile flashed across her face after she closed the door.

I'm not worthy of his gentle affection.

After sitting quietly on her bed for a bit, she slowly rose to her feet and headed into the bathroom to wash up before heading back to bed.

Perhaps it was because she had lost too much blood that she felt exhausted. The moment she lay in bed, her eyes closed uncontrollably and she dozed off.

When Nicole woke up again, it was already slightly after 10.00AM the following day. However, she still felt exhausted instead of fully energized after her sleep.

She supported herself by propping her arms against the headboard and gradually inched backward before sitting up.

While she frailly leaned against the headrest, she rubbed her aching temples. She didn't expect such a serious side effect from getting blood drawn out of her. She thought she could recover after a night's rest and didn't expect to still feel so weak after sleeping for so long.

She reached for her phone on the nightstand and found that it was in silent mode. The screen showed a few missed calls. Three were from Colton, while one was from an unfamiliar number.


After hesitating momentarily, Nicole ended up calling Colton.

The call was soon picked up and Colton immediately asked, "What's the matter? Are you feeling unwell?"

Nicole lowered her gaze, seemingly unwilling to tell him about how she was currently feeling. In the end, she gave a brief answer. "I'm doing fine. Why did you call?"

Colton thought about it for a moment before explaining, "Madam Gould has woken up. She said she would like to meet the person who saved her."

Frowning unconsciously, Nicole pondered for a moment before saying, "It's not a big deal, actually."

After a moment's silence, Colton chuckled. "The Wrenns are here as well. Since they already owe you, you should come over and see if you can ask for a favor."

I wasn't being serious when saying that. What's more, I have enough money and a job, so there's nothing I need to ask from the Wrenns. However, since Madam Gould has woken up, I should visit her.

At the thought of that, Nicole responded softly, "Alright."

"I'll come over and pick you up," Colton offered.

"There's no need." She didn't even think about it before rejecting his offer. "I'll ask Zach to send me over," she added. "There's no need to trouble you, President Gardner."

When Colton heard her mention Zachary, his face fell but he wasn't upset. Instead, he chortled. "In that case, I'll wait for you here."

He hung up after saying that.
