Right Person, Wrong Time novel Chapter 364

Chapter 364 Should Definitely Investigate

“Miss Nicole, Miss Julia, we are forever in your debt for saving Old Mr. Benedict’s life. I promise you that I will dig into the case. But now, you two have to rest. We’ll talk about this later.”

Nicole was indeed well spent and considerably burned-out, so she nodded in agreement. “Although Old Mr. Benedict is okay now, it’s not a guarantee because of that episode. Richard is an adept doctor, and he should be able to keep everything under control.”

After a pause, she continued, “Someone with medical knowledge will have to take turns looking after Old Mr. Benedict for the next forty-eight hours. If nothing bad happens within this period, he’ll be out of danger.”

When he saw how pale Nicole looked, Colton pulled her arm closer to him and carried her bridal style.

Nicole reflexively struggled when she was caught off guard, but Colton naturally wouldn’t give her the chance to do so. He whispered, “Don’t move. You’re still exhausted, so I’ll take you upstairs to rest. You can only catch the perpetrator after you’re well-rested.”

Indeed, she was exhausted, and her legs were still wobbly. Overusing her brain made her feel burned out. After all, the surgery lasted way too long, and nearly all her focus had been on Benedict with zero distractions.

As self-conscious as Nicole was, she still acquiesced to Colton’s decision to carry her upstairs.

On the other hand, Julia didn’t get as nice of a treatment, for Richard was currently with Benedict. Hence, she could only go upstairs to rest with the help of the Gardners’ servants.

Meanwhile, Colton returned downstairs after sending Nicole to recover in a room.

Since Benedict had just undergone surgery, no one disturbed him and instead remained in the living room, looking grim as they chewed on Nicole’s words.
