Right Person, Wrong Time novel Chapter 26

Chapter 26 A Night of Search

Hopelessly sitting on the couch, even Nicole herself didn’t know how she managed to live through the night. Under her eyes were the stains of her ruined makeup which she had yet to remove that made her seem extremely petty. It wouldn’t even be an overexaggeration to describe her as a banshee.

Meanwhile, accompanying by her side was Zachary, who was constantly making calls and contacting everyone he knew to scour for Hayden’s whereabouts.

Every minute that passed agitated her more as she remained in a posture, stationarily sitting on the couch until the sun rose. Because she had kept her eyes still for too long, when she eventually moved her eyes, she felt a sting in them.

At her zoned-out look, Zachary couldn’t help but feel pained. Pouting his lips, he turned to Nicole and suggested, “Nicole, why don’t you go get some rest? I’ll tell you as soon as I receive news about Hayden.”

Upon his timbre, there was finally movement on her frozen face. She turned to Zachary with a forced grin, and with a feeble voice, she replied, “I’m fine.”

Hearing that, Zachary hesitated to say anything knowing he wouldn’t be able to persuade her given her immense worry for her son. Subtly, he heaved a sigh and continued contacting his peers. He gave up sleeping for the entire night as he was, too, concerned about Hayden.

Right when Nicole spaced out, her phone beeped in her pocket. Immediately, she grabbed her phone and saw it was a call from Colton. Hastily, she answered the call and put the phone by her ear.

“My men found some news about your son. He was last seen at Pine Harbor. A witness saw some thugs carrying him onto a ship,” Colton stated.
