Right Person, Wrong Time

Chapter 804

After escorting Nicole back to the hospital this time, Zachary followed her upstairs instead of continuing to wait downstairs. They entered Siobhan's previous ward, but she was no longer there.

As soon as Nicole stepped out through the door, she came face-to-face with a furious Evelyn, whose face turned sullen at the sight of her. Walking quickly up to her, Evelyn raised her hand without hesitation in an attempt to slap her, but Zachary, who was standing behind Nicole, nimbly caught hold of her wrist.

Looking up at the man, Evelyn said between clenched teeth, "How dare you get in my way! Who the hell do you think you are?"

Although Zachary had a gentle disposition, he was absolutely no pushover. The instant he heard Evelyn's words, his face darkened slightly, and he asked in a deep voice, "Miss Wrenn, is this how you were brought up by the Wrenn Family?" His words sounded unemotional, but the mockery in them was apparent.

Evelyn's face flushed crimson in anger at his words. She uttered between clenched teeth, "It's not up to you to care about how I was brought up by my family! Let go of me!"

Zachary reached out and pulled Nicole into his arms to shield her before finally releasing his grip on Evelyn's wrist.

Evelyn's eyes were visibly ablaze with rage; she stared at the two of them before her gaze lowered and rested upon Nicole. She said angrily, "You b*tch! I heard long ago that you managed to climb your way up in F&M Apparel by prostituting yourself. How dare you donate blood to my mother! Loose as you are, you must've caught some disease long ago without knowing. I'm telling you, Nicole—just get ready for your funeral if anything wrong happens to my mom!"

A complicated look flickered across Nicole's eyes as she involuntarily balled her fists at Evelyn's words. I've never slept with any man other than when I spent the night with Colton five years ago! Looking up and staring at Evelyn with bright, clear eyes, she retorted in a cold voice, "Miss Wrenn, the test results have not come out yet. Do you have to be in such a hurry to pin the blame on me?"

Looking at her charming face, which gave off a hint of confidence, Evelyn wished she could step forward and tear Nicole to pieces. Staring venomously at Nicole, she argued, "Who else is to blame for this if not you?! My mom's high fever isn't going down because she received blood from you!"

Just when she spoke with increasing agitation, a tall figure suddenly appeared behind her and rebuked in a stern voice, "That's enough, Evelyn."

Evelyn turned to look at the speaker. When she saw that it was Gabriel, her eyes reddened slightly. She bit her lip, asking, "Gabriel, are you still gonna defend this b*tch now that Mom's already in such a state?"

Gabriel couldn't help but frown when he heard how Evelyn repeatedly called Nicole a b*tch. He lowered his head and chided softly, "Watch your words, Evelyn! You're a lady of the Wrenn Family. Wherever you go, you're representing the Wrenns!"
