Right Person, Wrong Time

Capítulo 1232

Chapter 1232 Pregnant

"How did it go, Colton? Was it smooth?" Nicole set aside her work and rushed to the door after learning that Colton had arrived at the research center.

Roxanna followed behind, shaking her head helplessly as she looked at the somewhat joyful figure. Who knew how Nicole would react if she knew Colton had brought a woman with him?

Upon seeing Colton's grim countenance, Nicole parted her lips to ask only to turn grim before speaking, for she found Evelyn standing behind Colton.

"I don't know how she found me, Nicole, but she told me she's pregnant, and it happened when I was cursed," Colton said, lacking confidence. Even though he knew Nicole wouldn't be angry, his heart ached for her, and he didn't know how to resolve the situation properly either.

Nicole's face turned pale. She knew that Colton had no control over being cursed, but for some reason, her heart ached so much she couldn't breathe. The air felt thin, as if it were taking her life away.

"Nicole..." Colton looked at Nicole with worry, standing helplessly in place.

"Come here, I'll check your pulse," said Nicole icily to Evelyn after taking a deep breath.

The matter couldn't be delayed any longer. First, they needed to know if the child was actually Colton's. There was still a glimmer of hope.

Evelyn nodded gently, appearing aggrieved like a misbehaved child being lectured by an adult as she followed silently behind Nicole.

On the other hand, Nicole never looked straight at Evelyn the entire time. The woman would stop at nothing to achieve her goals. She had even colluded with the Yaels to curse Colton, disregarding his well-being entirely. Thus, now, she didn't need to face Evelyn with any kindness.

Colton watched everything unfold, hoping that Nicole could determine the true timing of Evelyn's pregnancy and confirm it wasn't when he was cursed.

Nicole placed her hand on Evelyn's wrist and couldn't help but feel nervous. She hoped Evelyn was lying to them. However, an ominous feeling quickly overcame her when she caught Evelyn's somewhat victorious smug.

Wait, Evelyn wouldn't let us examine her without putting in even the slightest bit of a fight if she was lying. That can only mean…

Nicole turned grim at that. Despite having figured out the result, she still examined Evelyn's pulse properly.

Time ticked away, and Colton waited by the side anxiously. He dared not rush or disturb the examination, for rushing and making noise were the last things one should do during a pulse examination.

Nicole, now beyond grim, slowly removed her hand. The result devastated her, making it difficult for her to accept.

"So, Nicole, is it true?" Colton asked, approaching Nicole urgently, gripping her shoulder.
