Right Person, Wrong Time

Chapter 1190 Nicole Wakes Up

He had been depressed since hearing this news at Gardner Residence. There's no way Mommy would get poisoned with her superb medical skills.

Siobhan also had no idea where to start explaining this. All she knew was that Evelyn had infected Colton with a voodoo bug, and Nicole had slipped unconscious in order to save him.

Seeing that she didn't reply, Hayden more or less figured out what had happened. Looking up with a grim expression, he asked menacingly, "Was Evelyn the culprit?"

Siobhan looked at the boy's expression. Despite his tender age, he now had an extraordinary air about him that was kind of unnerving, which was expected of the son of Nicole and Colton. "Why don't you ask your mommy about this after she wakes up?"

Hayden's little face was sullen. He looked somewhat gloomy, but in the end, he didn't say another word. Instead, he hung his head and began to sulk.

After lying unconscious for hours, Nicole finally opened her eyes. At this moment, she felt extremely lethargic, as though she were being pinned under a weight of several tons.

Seeing her wake up, Siobhan hurriedly helped her up and asked with concern, "Nicole, are you feeling okay?"

Seeing the concern written all over Siobhan's face, Nicole shook her head. At this very moment, however, she looked rather weak and didn't say anything else. She merely replied, "I'm fine, but my throat feels dry—"

Before Siobhan could fetch it, Hayden came over with a glass of water in hand.

Seeing the small hand holding a glass of water, Nicole raised her eyes to see her son. A smile spread across her face. Taking the glass from him, she took a drink from it before reaching out to stroke the boy. "Hayden, why are you here?"

Hayden seemed quite depressed, but he nonetheless managed a strained smile in front of Nicole. "I came with Grandma. We heard from Grandma Siobhan that both you and Daddy got hurt, so we came over," he explained in a muffled voice while pulling a long face. After looking up at Nicole, he continued, "Mommy, how did you end up like this?"

Nicole didn't know how to explain it to her son either. So, she patted him on the head and replied calmly, "I'm okay. I was just exhausted, but I'm perfectly fine now."

Listening to her reply, Hayden screwed up his face slightly, but he didn't question her any further.

A troubled look flitted across Siobhan's face as she looked at the smile on Nicole's face. Right now, she didn't even know how to tell her daughter about what had happened to Colton.

After she finished speaking to Hayden, Nicole finally turned to look at Siobhan, asking, "How is Colton doing now?"

Siobhan clenched her fists and was suddenly at a loss for words. After a while, she slowly began, "Colton woke up earlier than you did, and he's almost fully recovered. That being said…"

Seeing her hesitation, Nicole knitted her brows for a moment. With bright, clear eyes staring fixedly at Siobhan, she replied in a steady voice, "Just tell me. I can take it."

Siobhan knew that Nicole would have to know this sooner or later. She said, "Nicole, Colton has amnesia after coming around."

"Amnesia, you say?" Nicole's voice raised several pitches in surprise, and a hint of puzzlement flickered across her eyes. Now that the voodoo bug has been removed successfully, why would Colton be suffering from amnesia? Looking at Siobhan, she asked in a quavering voice, "H-How did this happen?"

Siobhan let out a soft sigh. "Nicole, I already had a doctor check on Colton, but things don't look very good for him. The doctor said that someone ordered him to forget about you while he was under the voodoo bug's influence, so he got like this after waking up," she explained.

Nicole let out a wry laugh while clapping her hand over her head. Seems like I've got no choice but to take one step at a time.
