Right Person, Wrong Time

Chapter 1195 Hayden's Warning

Colton looked at Nicole. She was in a white dress, looking clean and innocent. It stirred some affection within him. Despite how unfamiliar Nicole was, he liked the feeling she gave off. He then kept quiet and leaned back on the bed, closing his eyes.

A moment later, Nicole asked, "I'm going to Durobrivae. You coming?"

Colton slowly opened his eyes before asking curiously, "Why are you going to Durobrivae? Do you have something to do there?"

Nicole pursed her lips. "Yeah. They have better equipment there, and I want to help you regain your memories."

Colton thought it over and nodded. "Okay, I'm going." He might've lost his memories, but he didn't want to live without gaining them back. It would be great if he could get back his memories.

Nicole nodded. "Good. We'll set off in three days to Durobrivae's medical base. I'll make sure you gain your memories back."

Nicole was going to leave, but right after she stepped out of the room, Colton asked, "Can you tell the child to come in?"

Nicole froze and turned around.

Colton smiled. "I might have forgotten about the child, but as his father, I have the duty of caring for him."

Nicole smiled. Even though Colton had lost his memory, he still was a good father. She nodded. "Of course. I'll tell him."

"Thank you." Colton fell silent after that. Once Nicole was gone, he lay on his bed, wondering how he turned out this way. He looked at himself and noticed a scar on his wrist. The wound had closed up, but the redness gleaming through his skin still looked a little eerie.

His mother told him that the scar was the remnant of the poison within him. Nicole extracted the poison from him, but he was left with this scar. He closed his eyes and tried to search through his memories, but all he came up with was… Nothing. He remembered nothing.

Nicole told Hayden to get into the room. The boy came to the bed, looking tense. He looked at Colton, but he said nothing. Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

One look at the boy and Colton knew Hayden had to be his son. They looked too alike. Still, he could see that Hayden wasn't very fond of him. So, he smiled. "You don't like me, do you?"

Hayden stared him down. Then, he said with a terse voice, "You broke Mommy's heart. You're not a good man or a good husband."

Precocious, isn't he? Mirth filled Colton's eyes, and he pointed at his head. Then, he replied with a tone filled with resignation, "I'd love to regain my memories, but they were lost the moment I woke up. You and Nicole do not exist in my life so far."

Hayden tensed up even further, staring into Colton's eyes. Finally, he said stiffly, "If you betray her, I won't forgive you."

He's so cute. Amused by the child's warning, Colton wanted to laugh, but he held it back and patted Hayden's head. He did his best to swallow his laughter before saying calmly, "Don't worry. I might've lost my memories, but Nicole and I are still a couple, so I will never cheat on her."

Hayden felt as though a great weight had been lifted off his shoulders after hearing Colton's promise. So, he climbed up to the bed and dangled his legs over the edge.

Colton could see that Nicole was a lot more important than he was to the boy. A moment later, he asked, "You don't like me, do you?"
