Right Person, Wrong Time novel Chapter 299

Chapter 299 Reunion

Benedict noticed the stunned look on Nicole’s face and the smile on his face grew.

“You were still young back then. Although you weren’t in your twenties yet, you were a decent young lady.”

As she stared at him, old memories seemed to gradually unfold in her mind.

Back when her mother was ill, Nicole used to go on strolls with her. That was when she bumped into an eccentric yet generous old man.

The old man talked a lot and would often stop to chat with Nicole and her mother. As time passed, she slowly began to befriend the old man. However, he disappeared one day. When Nicole asked the doctors in the hospital, they told her that his family had picked him up and that they could not disclose his address.

“Y-You’re the old man from the hospital?!” Nicole asked with uncertainty.

Although the old man back in the hospital was very talkative, he had black hair and looked high in spirits.

Yet, here Benedict was with a head full of gray and a wrinkly face. He could barely stand on his own and looked much older than the man she had met.

In the face of Nicole’s astonishment, he sighed slightly.

“Yeah. Back when I checked into the hospital, everything was fine. Suddenly, the doctor said that they’d detected a brain tumor. My son was worried and immediately transferred me to another hospital.”

So, this is why he left without saying goodbye.

At that time, Nicole was still young at about the age of twenty or so. While prioritizing her studies, she had to take care of her mother as well. She really cherished the old man’s presence because he was someone whom she could express her feelings to.

However, she never asked for his name. She would just politely greet him each time they met. She never thought that the old man would turn out to be Old Mr. Benedict of the Gardner Family.
