Right Person, Wrong Time novel Chapter 1000

Chapter 1000 She Has Something to Do With It

As the sweet and refreshing water washed down her throat, Nicole's hoarse throat felt a lot better.

Once she had her water, Nicole turned to look at Colton. She paused for a moment before saying, "Sasha was the one who threw me down."

Her tone was exceptionally calm as she said this, her pitch-black eyes boring into Colton.

He nodded and gently caressed her head, saying, "I know."

Nicole continued, "Evelyn pretended to be Madam Gould and lured me to the hospital, then used Hayden to get me to that building."

Upon hearing Evelyn's name, Siobhan had a slight change in expression, but she remained silent.

Colton had not expected Evelyn to be involved as well, and he reached out to take Nicole's hand in his, assuring her gently, "Don't worry, I'll definitely get to the end of this. No matter who it was, I'll make them pay for it."

At his words, a trace of a smile appeared on Nicole's face.

Colton then talked to her a little more before he stopped upon seeing the fatigue on Nicole's face.

He lowered his eyes to look at her and said, "You should rest well. Madam Gould will accompany you while I look into what happened today."

"Okay," Nicole agreed.

After Colton left, Siobhan, who had been silent the entire time, finally spoke up. "Is Evelyn really related to this matter?"

Nicole looked at her and said solemnly, "Evelyn pretended to be you and told me that something happened to Hayden, then said that Sasha is trying to harm him to lure me into that building."

Her calm attitude left Siobhan a little speechless. She just couldn't believe that the daughter whom she had raised for over two decades would do something like that.

Noticing the change on Siobhan's face, Nicole let out a small chuckle and asked, "Do you not believe me, Madam Gould?"

Nicole's words jolted Siobhan back to her senses, and she forced a smile on her face as she said, "No, but we still don't know what happened, so we can't come to a conclusion so lightly."

Upon seeing that Siobhan was still taking Evelyn's side, Nicole suddenly felt a small wave of dejection surging inside of her. She smiled indifferently at this. I guess it makes sense. After all, I'm just a stranger who coincidentally has blood ties with her.

She shut her eyes, a trace of exhaustion appearing on her face as she said in a hoarse voice, "I'm a little tired. Why don't you leave for now, Madam Gould? I want to have some time to myself."

Siobhan looked at Nicole with a conflicted expression, but she eventually clamped her mouth shut and said nothing in reply.

Nicole kept her eyes shut, only slowly opening them once more when she heard the door close. Looking downcast, she caressed her empty stomach. This child could've been born in just a few months, but now she was forced to leave without getting to take a glance at the world. At that thought, Nicole felt that her chest was filled with stinging pain, so much so that she was unable to catch her breath.

After Siobhan left, there was an air of sobriety around her. Seeing this, Jackson, who was waiting by the door, asked, "What's wrong? Is Nicole in a serious condition?"

Siobhan shook her head, a conflicted look flashing past her eyes. She didn't know what to say.

Upon seeing her hesitating look, Jackson reached out to grab her and demanded with a frown, "What exactly happened? You look pale."

Finally, Siobhan said, "Nicole lost her baby, and Evelyn has something to do with it."

Her breezy words rendered Jackson silent.

He lowered his head for a long while as if deep in thought and only raised his gaze after a pause to say, "Evelyn came to the hospital today?"

Siobhan nodded and repeated Nicole's words. "Evelyn lured Nicole to the hospital by pretending to be me. I'm afraid that she's definitely connected to this incident."
