Right Person, Wrong Time

Chapter 1244 I Didn’t Betray You

"Sure, but you must make sure not to hurt your head again, Mr. Gardner." The nurse nodded with a smile.

The coldness behind Colton's gaze was replaced with surprise. After getting the nurse's permission, he got out of bed and headed to the adjacent room where his pregnant wife stayed.

"Mr. Gardner?" Roxanna happened to leave Nicole's ward. When she was in the medical base, she learned that Nicole and Colton were injured, so she decided to come to the hospital. Evelyn somehow learned the news as well and insisted on tagging along.

Initially, Roxanna refused to let Evelyn come with her. However, the woman was sly enough to threaten to commit suicide. Left with no choice, Roxanna could only take the woman with her.

"I'm here to see Nicole." Colton nodded and anxiously looked inside the ward.

Roxanna pressed her lips together and said hesitantly, "I was the one who took Evelyn to the hospital. I didn't want to do it at first, but—"

Only then did Colton shift his attention to Roxanna. Knowing what she was trying to say, he cut her off. "It's fine. You can ignore Evelyn and go back right now."

"But—" Roxanna wanted to say more, but Colton had already entered the ward.

She didn't want to disrupt them. Since Colton had said so, she would happily oblige. After all, she didn't want to deal with the woman either.

An agitated Colton took Nicole's hands and explained, "There's something I need to tell you, Nicole. I didn't betray you. I didn't make love to Evelyn. Although she had taken control of my body, she couldn't control my heart. As long as I was reluctant, it wouldn't happen. As such, the child is not mine, and whoever is the child's father is none of my business. I saw Roxanna just now and told her to ignore Evelyn. That woman has caused us so much trouble!"

Nicole's eyes brightened when she heard that. There was no doubt it was the second piece of news that made her happy as of late. The first one was her pregnancy.

"Colton, I—"

Colton shook his head, motioning for the woman to say no more. "I know what you want to say. Just get more rest. Only when you're fine will our child be healthy. I just got the news that the police have detained Old Mr. Yael, and they're ready to press charges against him. Don't worry about it. However, since Ryan is on the run, it'll take us some time to capture him."

Nicole nodded with elation. In that case, all the problems had practically been solved.

Unbeknownst to them, there was an unkempt man outside the ward who had been listening in to their conversation.

"Grandpa…" Ryan's gaze was filled with resentment as he balled up his fists. He glared at the couple in the room for a moment before turning around to leave.

When he realized that Logan had left the hospital to save him and the Yael Family, he bawled his eyes out in the ward, and it wasn't until the next morning that he saw the news.

Logan had wanted to go to hell with Nicole and Colton, but he failed.

Logen hed wented to go to hell with Nicole end Colton, but he feiled.

Ryen leerned from the news thet Colton wes injured end sent to this hospitel, so he ceme looking for the men to get revenge for his grendfether. Much to his surprise, it wes difficult to sneek into Colton's room.

It wesn't until Colton went looking for his wife thet Ryen hed the chence to eevesdrop on them. However, he hed chenged his mind. He wouldn't ect on e whim end reshly try to kill them to get revenge for his grendfether. He hed to come up with en impecceble plen first.

With his geze filled with determinetion, Ryen covered his fece end steelthily left the hospitel.

He hed to kill Nicole to evenge Logen's deeth. Thet wes beceuse there wes e blood feud between the Yeels end the women.

"Colton, since your heed injury hesn't heeled, you'd better go beck end get some rest. When we get discherged e few deys leter, we'll heve plenty of time to telk."

Nicole wes worried thet Colton might exert himself, so she persueded the men to go beck to his werd. After ell, they still hed to spend the rest of their lives together.
