The dimly lit room slowly settled into its familiar calmness, enveloping Nicole in peaceful solitude. Soon, the moonlight gently streamed through the window, painting a delicate glow over her neatly made bed.
'Nicky, why aren't you replying to my message? Are you busy at the research center today?'
'Nicky, why didn't you pick up when I called you earlier?'
Numerous texts and missed calls were displayed on her phone screen, but she did not intend to check them.
'Nicky, please reply when you see this message. I've found a way to treat the after-effects, after which we'll know if Evelyn's child belongs to me. I'm growing impatient to wait until her child is born, and I want to spare you any further distress during this period.'
Nicole's eyelashes fluttered, and her eyes opened gradually. Suddenly, her face grew even paler as she gazed at her phone.
'Chloe, please help me return to normal as soon as possible.'
After sending her last message, an abrupt wave of exhaustion washed over her, leaving her unable to hold onto her phone, which slipped from her grasp and landed softly on the carpet, breaking its fall.
Meanwhile, Colton emerged from his shower, and he finally saw Nicole's reply.
The plan had been for her to return and reside with him, yet unforeseen complications at the research center kept them apart.
'Colton, let's meet at the research center tomorrow.'
Despite a nagging unease after reading the message, he couldn't quite put his finger on the source of his foreboding. Then, he swiped the phone screen and dialed a familiar number.

The readers' comments on the novel: Right Person, Wrong Time
What a waste of reading! This could have been an excellent novel if it hadn't skipped chapters after 531 and then everything is garbled. Get your act together if you still want a reading audience!!!...
