Chapter 1010 Cutting Ties

He held Nicole's hand and realized it was as cold as ice. "Did Madam Gould say that?"

Nicole shook her head, looking like she would keel over anytime. She explained, "No. I came to a decision. Evelyn

must be involved in this case, but Madam Gould took her side anyway. I have nothing to say about that." There was

sadness in her eyes, but there was also resolve. "She's my birth mother, and that won't change no matter what. But

after this, I don't owe her anymore. Nor do I owe the Goulds or the Wrenns."

I see. She wants to cut all ties with them. Colton paused for a moment. Then, he smiled. "Sure. You have my

support, no matter what you do."

She was touched seeing him support her. She fidgeted a little and clenched her blanket tight. She had no idea what

to say.

Noticing her odd behavior, the man held her hand and tightened his grip. "You still have me, you know."

Nicole smiled. "Without the Wrenns and the Goulds backing me up, I'm worthless. Do you still like me even then?"

Seeing her looking so solemn, Colton couldn't help retorting playfully, "You're so forgetful. I was nice to you even

when you had nothing, remember?"

Oh, right. Even when I was still William's daughter, he was nice to me. She stared down. Before she knew it, she

had fallen hopelessly in love with the man before her. She raised her head and stared at his face. A long while later,

she slowly said, "I think I've fallen in love with you."

Delight filled his eyes, and he tightened his grip on her hand, though he didn't make it hurt. He pulled her hand

closer to his face and rubbed his cheek against it. "I know. You're finally being honest with yourself."

He's so shameless. He can always interpret everything as me showing affection to him. Still, now that Nicole had

laid out her feelings, she felt more at ease. It was like a great weight had been lifted off her shoulder. She didn't

bother correcting him since she did fall for him, and it had been that way for a while. She only stopped herself

because of William's case. Now that she was fine, she could be together with Colton.

"The doctor came. I'm fine aside from the scratches." She stared down, her eyes filled with sorrow. Her wounds

were fine, but the empty feeling in her belly made her feel down.

Noticing the look in her eyes, Colton got closer and kissed her cheek. "It's alright. We're still young. We'll have more

kids."

The woman touched her flat belly and depressingly said, "I know. I just feel sad for the baby. She's gone before

she's even born."

Colton kept comforting her; he knew she felt miserable from the loss. After he was done visiting Nicole, he went to

the ward next door to check on Hayden. The poison was all gone, but he hadn't been asking to get discharged

lately. It had been a bit too quiet with him.
