Right Person, Wrong Time

Chapter 1214 Why Are You Telling Me This?

Although they were married, Nicole wasn't prepared to let Colton carry her out like that!

If he did, everyone in the medical base would likely find out by the end of the day!

"Put me down!" She bit her lip and hissed into his ear.

On the other hand, he seemed perfectly at ease. Even though he was carrying over a woman who weighed over ninety pounds in his arms, he showed no sign of strain. It was as if it took no effort from him at all. Then, he opened the door and slowly walked out.

As soon as they stepped out, everyone turned to look at them.

Nicole knew that if there had been a hole in the ground, she would have jumped into it right away. At this instant, she was so mortified that she wanted to cry. She couldn't believe Colton was still as domineering as ever despite losing his memories.

She also struggled a few times, but to no avail, so she gave up and stayed quietly in his arms. However, she was too embarrassed by the looks of shock and envy she was receiving, so she buried her face against the man's chest.

On the other hand, he didn't seem to care about the looks of others and kept walking as usual.

While breathing in the pheromones of the man whose arms she was in, her cheeks began to burn.

Later, Colton carried her back to the room and placed her on the bed.

Nicole propped herself up slightly, still looking embarrassed. She raised her head and looked at him. "W-What were you doing just now?"

Then, he reached out and touched her face as he said slowly, "Do you know how alarming you look right now?"

She had her hands full lately dealing with the medical base's issues and didn't bother to check on herself. After hearing those words, she stroked her cheek and muttered, "Does my face look so alarming?"

Colton nodded earnestly and confirmed, "Extremely alarming."

Nicole chuckled weakly and remarked, "I've been too busy lately. I haven't paid any attention to the way I look."

His attention returned to her face after she said those words. She's been working so hard that she's starting to look a little wan. Her bags under her eyes are heavy and unsettling; she appears ready to collapse at any moment. "Alright. Get some rest, or your body won't be able to take it anymore," he said.

Looking out the window, she noticed the sun still shining brightly, so she argued, "It's only afternoon. I'm not going to rest now."

"Nope. You're going to rest right now. If you don't, then sooner or later, your body will crash from over-exhaustion," Colton commanded and pressed her down.

After hearing this, Nicole refrained from arguing and obediently lay on the bed.
