Right Person, Wrong Time novel Chapter 500

Chapter 500 Awake

Although Nicole fell asleep, her sleep was not a peaceful one as she kept having nightmares. In her dream, she saw her child taken away by a mysterious figure. She kept shouting and chasing after that figure, but to no avail. Then, she woke up with a jolt as she sat up straight on the bed.

Sitting beside her, Colton covered Nicole’s face with a towel after he noticed she had woken up. The towel was warm and seemed to have been prepared for some time. The warmth of the towel was just right as it was comfortable when covering one’s face with it.

After Nicole woke up and realized she was sticky with her sweat, she wiped her face before she got out of bed to find Hayden still unconscious without any indication of waking any time soon. Worried, she looked at the child in bed first before turning her attention to Colton. A brief moment later, she asked hesitantly, “Did anything happen to Hayden last night?”

Colton shook his head. Although he stood up straight, one could easily see from a glance the dark circles under his eyes. Clearly, he hadn’t slept a wink last night. “Everything’s normal.”

As Nicole looked at Hayden and found that his breathing had stabilized while the medical equipment showed no signs of abnormality, she heaved a gradual sigh of relief. Then, she turned her attention to the exhausted Colton and said, “President Gardner, you should get some rest. Your body won’t be able to take it any longer since you’ve watched over Hayden the entire night.”

With a faint smile, he patted Nicole on her head and said, “I’m fine. However, you should call me Colton from now on. President Gardner just sounds too distant.”

Nicole pursed her lips with her eyes lowered and, without any intention of refusing, said softly, “Alright, Colton.”

Grunting in response, Colton got up and walked out the door as he said, “I’ll get you some chowder. It’s still early, so you don’t have to worry.”
