Right Person, Wrong Time

Chapter 1242 Don't Do Anything Silly

Logan spat and glowered at Colton with resentment. "What's in it for me? I just wanted to take you and Nicole to hell with me!"

Colton was startled upon hearing that, realizing that the older man was hopeless.

Seeing that Colton was beside himself, Logan looked around and realized the police officers were dismantling the bombs. All of a sudden, he flared up and charged toward Colton.

By the time Colton came to his senses, Logan had crashed into his chest, causing him to fall backward. When Nicole saw the man's head hitting the rock behind him, she exclaimed, "Colton!"

The police officer, who was responsible for keeping an eye on Logan, quickly subdued him. No one had expected a frail man could flare up without warning.

Nicole stopped replying to Roxanna's text and ran forward. Then, she held the man's head and asked, "How are you, Colton? Does it hurt anywhere?"

Colton's eyes were out of focus. Regardless of how hard Nicole called out to him, he was unable to respond. Suddenly, Nicole felt some warm liquid on her hands, only to retract her hand and realize it was covered in blood.

"Call the ambulance right now! Colton!" Nicole shouted. She and the child couldn't afford to lose the man. "I'm no longer mad at you, Colton. In fact, I've never been angry with you. I know it's not your fault, and you've never betrayed me."

Nicole didn't even know what she was talking about. She hugged the man tightly as tears slid down her

cheeks. It terrified her to think that she might lose the man.

The next moment, she collapsed onto the man and blacked out. The officer's yelling and blaring ambulance siren did reach her ear, but only for a few seconds before she lost consciousness.

Colton furrowed his brows as if having a nightmare.

Meanwhile, it had taken Ryan a long time to return home. He had to get the thing as instructed by his grandfather and go back to the hospital as soon as possible.

"The cabinet…" Ryan entered his grandfather's room and found a secret compartment in the cabinet.

He looked at it in shock, not expecting Logan to have such a trump card.

Then, he opened the secret compartment, but all he could see were a letter and a debit card.

"What are these?" Ryan frowned and opened the letter. When he saw the content, his pupils dilated as it was his grandfather's handwriting.

Since the letter was short, it only took him five minutes to read it.

"Grandpa! Grandpa! Don't do anything silly!" Ryan looked around. Suddenly thinking of something, he ran out of the villa.

The sky had been dyed red by the sinking sun. A helpless Ryan got into his sports car and stepped on the gas pedal before heading to the hospital at full speed. Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

Logan's letter was brief. He had already expected such an outcome, so he had prepared some money for Ryan so that the latter could run away. Certainly, Ryan couldn't bring himself to let his grandfather face the consequences alone.

"Don't do anything silly, Grandpa…"

"No!" Colton suddenly opened his eyes and saw the white ceiling. He also caught a whiff of the pungent disinfectant.

"Where's this?"

He looked around with a frown and realized it was the hospital. Feeling the pain on the back of his head, he gasped and tried to touch it.

Just then, a nurse stepped into the ward and was surprised to see Colton awake. To ease his mind, she said, "Don't move, Mr. Gardner. I'm glad that you're finally awake. Don't worry, you've only suffered a minor concussion. You'll only have to stay back for a few days before we let you go home."

Colton wasn't paying attention to what the nurse was saying. When he saw that Nicole wasn't by his side, he asked, "Where's my wife?"

When the nurse saw how anxious he was, she replied with a smile, "Look at how worried you are. Don't worry, your wife is fine. She's pregnant, but she hasn't been getting enough nutrition recently. She passed out because she was too agitated. Now, she's sound asleep in the adjacent room."
