Right Person, Wrong Time novel Chapter 339

Chapter 339 I Am White’s Protégé

When Pierre heard Queenie’s reminder, he glanced at her with ambiguity as he responded, “Got it. I can’t say no to money regardless of what, right?”

She felt slightly disgruntled as she saw the amatory look on his face. Hence, she reached out to pull up her clothes. Then, she turned her head and said nothing.

When he noticed that, he giggled and spoke nothing more. He stepped on the accelerator and drove away.

Meanwhile, Colton, who spent his time in a cafe, was waiting for the whole situation to be over. He only came home terribly late after he learned that Nicole had finished dealing with the Gardner Family’s affairs.

When he showed up, he pretended to know nothing and asked, “I saw there were a lot of missed calls as soon as I finished with the meeting. So, I called Wendy and she said something came up at home. Can anyone tell me what has happened?”

There was a burst of joy on Anna’s face after she saw Colton. She immediately approached him and said, “Colton, did you know that Nicole had reached out to White’s protégé? Your grandpa is saved!”

Unlike the rest of the Gardner Family, he didn’t seem surprised at all after he heard those words. Resting his gaze upon Nicole, he asked softly with a smirk, “Really?”

Noticing his gaze, he nodded awkwardly. “Yeah.” In her mind, she thought, Well, I’ve given them my words, so I definitely can’t back down now.

At the thought of that, Nicole closed her eyes slightly. Shortly after, she whispered, “She’ll come over next Tuesday.”

Even though she had faith in her medical expertise, it had been years since she last performed a surgery after all. Thinking that she couldn’t afford to let any mishaps occur during Benedict’s surgery, she decided to go back and brush up on her skills. I’ll perform his surgery once I’ve finished polishing my skills.

Colton didn’t force Nicole either. Turning to look at Anna and Wendy, he said, “Nicole and I have something to discuss. Mom, why don’t you bring Wendy upstairs first?”

While hearing that, Anna gave him a knowing look. Hence, she nodded and replied. “Sure. Sure. It just so happens that I have something to discuss with Wendy too, so you two can just discuss it here.”

Then, she thought about it for a while. I’m going to perform a surgery for Old Mr. Benedict next week anyway. Seeing she couldn’t hide her identity any longer, she decided to reveal the truth. Therefore, she pursed her lips and asked directly, “How did you find out?”

Letting out a soft smile, Colton placed his hands together and thought, It seems like my guess was right after all.

“Although Julia is a doctor, she’s not a neurologist. She’s not even a surgeon and is of little help with Grandpa’s condition. The reason why she stays at the Gardner Residence is because of Richard.” Colton stared at Nicole.

Then, he continued to say word by word, “Moreover, she suddenly became proactive after she met you and Grandpa recently. She even took the initiative to retrieve all of Grandpa’s medical records. In addition, she knew White’s protégé, and you’re the only person whom she has met recently.”

Listening to Colton’s word-for-word analysis, Nicole couldn’t help but admire him. Colton’s analysis wasn’t wrong at all, and I’m amazed that he can immediately guess my identity as White’s protégé with such little information.

“Yes, you’re right. I’m White’s protégé indeed.” She nodded and replied.
