Right Person, Wrong Time

Chapter 1239 Saving Nicole

"I just received a message from the Yaels. According to them, Nicole is in their hands, and they're asking me to go over. If I refuse to go, they will…" Colton didn't finish his words, and he sported a solemn expression.

He had to calm down and come up with a way to save Nicole.

"No way! Nicole said she was worried about you while you dealt with the Yaels, so she was going to look for you when she was done with her work. It's been quite a while since she last contacted us. I suppose she must've been kidnapped by the Yaels."

Roxanna was worried about Nicole and her child. When she saw how anxious Colton was, she parted her lips. However, she decided not to tell him about Nicole's pregnancy.

I'd better let Nicole tell him about it herself. It's an important matter, after all.

"Do you have a solution now?" she asked.

Colton sported a dark expression. He didn't know how many people Logan had brought with him, and there were many uncertainties. As such, he had to consider everything before taking action.

"Just wait here. I'll save her myself. Also, I've called the police," Colton said grimly. He decided not to trouble the people closest to Nicole. If anything happened to them, the woman would be distraught.

Roxanna was startled for a moment before dipping her head. She understood that she wasn't able to save Nicole.

"Alright, don't worry. I'll look after the medical base and this woman." Roxanna shot Evelyn a glance.

Evelyn had been listening to their conversation attentively. When she learned that Nicole had been captured by the Yaels, she was elated. Nothing else could make her happier. NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

However, when she heard that Colton was going to save Nicole, she immediately grabbed the man's arms and begged him, saying, "Don't go, Colton! Please don't leave me! If anything happens to you, how will I and the child survive? You mustn't go!"

She believed that she could make Colton stay by putting the child at risk, just like how she successfully made the others in the medical base give in to her by threatening the child's safety. Unbeknownst to her, the person who wanted her child to be safe was Nicole, not Colton.

Colton would rather not have the child, for its existence had affected his relationship with Nicole.

"Get lost! This matter has nothing to do with you, and I don't care about the child in your belly!" Colton was already anxious, to begin with, and he became even more frustrated because of the woman.

"What did you just say?"

Evelyn stared at the man in disbelief. Isn't he concerned about the child? Otherwise, why would he bring me here and ask everyone to protect the child? Doesn't it show that he cares about his child?

Colton turned around to leave without sparing the woman another glance. He had to save Nicole as soon as he could, and everything else could be dealt with later.

As Evelyn watched the man leave, she plunged into a state of despair and fell to her bottom, unwilling

to accept the truth.

Roxanna looked at the woman with disdain and said icily, "There's something I need to make clear to you, Miss Wrenn. The person who wants your child to be safe is Nicole. Why do you think the people here would even look after you? You have to know that the staff members will only obey Nicole's orders."

Roxanna's words crushed every last bit of hope Evelyn had. As the light went out from her eyes, she became rooted to the spot.

Not wanting to see this shameless woman anymore, Roxanna whirled around and left, knowing that someone else would take Evelyn back to where she belonged.

"No! That's definitely not true! Colton loves the child! All of you are lying!"

Evelyn no longer had the energy to shout as others lugged her to her room. She fell into a dazed state and sat on the bed while muttering the same words, looking like someone with a mental disorder.

Meanwhile, Colton confirmed their rescue plan with the police and headed to the warehouse in the suburbs as per Logan's instructions.
