Right Person, Wrong Time

Chapter 989 A Call From Siobhan

Colton held Nicole in his arms and kissed and cuddled with her for quite a while. When he learned that she wanted

to keep the baby, his face melted into an even tenderer expression.

At 11.00AM, however, he kept glancing down at his watch as though something was preoccupying him.

Nicole had a vague feeling that he seemed to be hiding something from her. Nevertheless, she said nothing at the

sight of his serious face.

At a little past 11.00AM, he finally stood up, feeling Nicole's belly for a long time before withdrawing his hand

reluctantly. "I've got to go to my office to handle some stuff. Just stay at home with peace of mind and call me right

away if there's anything," he said with his head lowered.

Seeing the concerned look on his face, Nicole let out a snort of laughter and replied with a wave of her hand,

"Alright, just go and finish dealing with it before coming back."

Colton simply looked back at her with each step he took before he left.

Nicole was bored sitting alone after lunch, so she couldn't help but start yawning again. Feeling sleepy, she opened

her mouth and was just about to take a nap when Siobhan suddenly called. After darting a glance at the caller ID,

she answered the phone, asking, "Madam Gould, is there something you'd like to talk to me about?"

Siobhan paused for a moment before asking, "Nicole, could you come to the hospital right now?" She sounded

rather firm, as if something serious had happened.

Colton held Nicole in his orms ond kissed ond cuddled with her for quite o while. When he leorned thot she wonted

to keep the boby, his foce melted into on even tenderer expression.

At 11.00AM, however, he kept gloncing down ot his wotch os though something wos preoccupying him.

"Alright, just go ond finish deoling with it before coming bock."

Colton simply looked bock ot her with eoch step he took before he left.

Nicole wos bored sitting olone ofter lunch, so she couldn't help but stort yowning ogoin. Feeling sleepy, she opened

her mouth ond wos just obout to toke o nop when Siobhon suddenly colled. After dorting o glonce ot the coller ID,

she onswered the phone, osking, "Modom Gould, is there something you'd like to tolk to me obout?"

Siobhon poused for o moment before osking, "Nicole, could you come to the hospitol right now?" She sounded

rother firm, os if something serious hod hoppened.

Nicole's heart skipped a beat. The hospital? Could something have happened to Hayden? The thought made her

whole heart shudder, and her voice trembled as a result. "D-Did something happen to Hayden?"

"It's nothing serious, actually. It's just that he suddenly developed a fever this morning. The fever hasn't gone down

yet, and he keeps calling for his mother… so I called you," Siobhan explained helplessly. She didn't want to bother

Nicole at first, but Hayden was already unconscious right now and had been calling for his mother, so she had no

choice but to call Nicole.

Nicole felt her heart twinge badly, as if it were being squeezed by an invisible hand. "Okay, I'll be there right away!"

she replied. In an instant, the exhaustion in her head went away; she grabbed the keys from the table and left

home.

She drove to the hospital, keeping her foot on the gas pedal along the way. However, when she arrived at the ward

where Hayden usually stayed, there was no sign of Siobhan. After looking around, she found nothing and entered

the room right away.

Hayden was still unconscious at the moment. A nurse's aide was looking after him attentively, but she quietly

stepped aside upon seeing Nicole.

Nicole reached out and touched his forehead. She realized that the warmth on her palm wasn't scorching—the boy

didn't seem to have a fever.

Feeling the palm on his forehead, Hayden opened his eyes in a daze. When he saw Nicole, his eyes suddenly lit up.

He grabbed her wrist happily, asking in a sweet, childlike voice, "Mom, why are you here?"

Instead of saying much, Nicole merely said, "I miss you, so I came to take a look."

Hayden grabbed her palm and replied seriously with a maturity beyond his age, "Mom, I'm fine, so you don't have

to come here. Dad told me that you're not feeling well and need some good rest."

Nicole couldn't help but feel her heart ache at the sight of how mature her little son was. Stroking his soft, black

hair, she said with a smile, "It's okay. I'm feeling much better now."

The mother and son then chatted for a while with Nicole by Hayden's bedside.

Perhaps because he had taken medicine, Hayden started feeling sleepy soon afterward. Only then did Nicole turn

around and leave. However, she felt that something was odd. Siobhan had called her just now, saying that she had

no choice but to call her because Hayden was having a fever. But now, not only did she not find any sign of

Siobhan, but Hayden wasn't having a fever either. So, what was the purpose of the phone call?
