Right Person, Wrong Time

Chapter 1149 Abducted

At this moment, the sound of footsteps echoed from outside.

Natasha looked up and caught sight of Logan walking in with his cane.

A trace of satisfaction painted across Logan's face as his eyes swept over Nicole unconscious form on the ground. Then, he nodded in approval and remarked, "Good job."

A fearful and hesitant Natasha mustered the courage to call out to him, "Mr. Yael..."

After that, she shifted her gaze toward Nicole and asked with concern, "Mr. Yael, what are you planning to do with Nicole—?"

Before she could finish her sentence, Logan interrupted in a mocking tone, "Natasha, all is said and done. There's no point in putting on this fake pretense anymore."

Natasha's words dissolved into silence, and her embarrassment was evident as she tightly crossed her hands. She remained silent, unsure of how to respond.

When Logan saw that she was still here, he waved his hand and dismissed her impatiently, "Hurry up and leave. You'll lose your spot if you're late for the interview."

At this, Natasha immediately felt any protests she harbored disappear down her throat. She had worked so hard for this opportunity for many years, and now it was within her grasp. She wouldn't give it up because of someone she had just met. Someone who was barely an acquaintance at that.

With that in mind, she turned resolutely and left without saying another word.

Ryan, who was standing, cast his gaze downward to where Nicole lay on the ground. Then, he turned his attention to Logan and asked, "Grandpa, what's your plan?"

Logan's voice resonated with a chilling tone as he recalled his past, "White severed my tendons and left me stuck with this cane for the rest of my life. I won't let his disciple escape without paying the price!"

A malevolent smile gradually crept across his lips as he beckoned a few people from outside. Then, he issued a sinister command in hushed tones, "Take her to the operating room on the outskirts."

Ryan locked eyes with Logan. After a brief moment of contemplation, he spoke up, "Grandpa, are you planning to—"

Logan nodded firmly. "Yes, I want her to taste the agony I endured all those years ago!"

Those subordinates swiftly escorted Nicole away instead of loitering around further. There were some secrets that were not meant to be heard unless they had a death wish.

Ryan stood silently on the side.

Meanwhile, inside the medical research, Colton glanced at the location displayed on his phone and immediately dialed Nicole's number.

He made three attempts to reach her, but no one answered. His heart sank as he stared at the screen of his phone.

After a moment of contemplation, he swiftly dialed Julian's number. "I'm sending you a location. Inform everyone in Durobrivae to converge there."

Julian sensed the urgency in Colton's tone and nodded in understanding. "Consider it done."

Colton's voice carried a note of caution as he issued his final instruction, saying sternly, "Nicole may be in their clutches. Ensure her safety, no harm must come to her."

Julian nodded once more, fully aware of the gravity of the situation at hand.

After Colton issued the instructions, he retrieved his coat from the chair and prepared to depart.

His eyes anxiously remained fixated on the moving location displayed on his phone.

He knew that Nicole was bound to face trouble at the science academy.

Although he was advised to stay indoors due to the voodoo bug in his body, Nicole's situation made it impossible for him to remain at ease.

Even though he understood that he was being rash, he had already made up his mind and promptly headed out.
