Right Person, Wrong Time novel Chapter 343

Chapter 343 Weary

Richard knew what Julia wanted to say. Looking at her with a faint smile on his face, he reached out to caress her face and murmured, “Don’t worry. Colton is just taking her to get some rest. He won’t do anything to her.”

Left with no choice, she could only watch as Colton carried Nicole away. There was something that she wanted to utter, but she hesitated for a while. Eventually, she swallowed back the words on the tip of her tongue.

In the meantime, Richard seemed to have sensed Julia’s hesitation. Trying to enlighten her more, he smiled and added, “It’s honestly nothing to be worried about. Colton understands that Nicole is currently the key person to saving Old Mr. Benedict, so he knows what he’s doing. I’m sure he won’t do anything crazy to her at such a critical moment.”

It was at the moment after listening to Richard’s words when Julia realized Colton had already found out about Nicole’s identity as White’s protégé.

Restraining the worried expression on her face, she looked at Richard. Then, she showed her disgruntlement toward Richard by wrinkling her face. Then, with a melancholy tone in her voice, she asked, “So you’re the one who brought him here to my place?”

Once Richard noticed that Julia was unhappy, he hurriedly explained, “He’s Colton Gardner, a significant member of the Gardner Family. Do you really think he needs my help in locating this place? It’s as easy as ABC for him to find this place. I’m just tagging along because I feared you might feel bored all by yourself.”

A sense of realization hit Julia as she listened to Richard’s reasoning. I can’t seem to get mad at him, regardless of what he does. Besides, Colton had already discovered Nicole’s identity as White’s protégé. So I don’t see the need for me to hide the truth anymore.

“Fine. I get it. Speaking of which, come over and sit with me now that you’re here. Can you see this rabbit? Nicole has just operated on it, so we need to observe its post-surgical condition.”

As Richard stared at Julia’s angry look, a trace of pampering floated in his eyes. He couldn’t help but think she looked adorable. Reaching out, he touched her head with a smile and said, “Sure.”

In the meantime, Colton navigated himself around the place like a professional. It was as if he had been here many times before. While carrying Nicole in his arms, he headed straight toward the room where medical practitioners took their rest. Probably feeling too tired, Nicole simply let Colton carry her all the way. She was too deep in her slumber, and not once did she have the intention of waking up.

Not wanting to wake her up, Colton carefully placed her on the bed. Then, he covered her with a quilt.

In the dimly lit room, only some light faintly peeked through the ajar door.
