Chapter 1013 Whitney Comes
She's angry. Colton chuckled. "Yeah, but since they made their choice, I'll be the one taking charge of Nicole's case
now."
Anna sighed. She knew her son too well and knew what he was going to do, so she patted his shoulder. "I know
what you're thinking, but the Goulds and the Wrenns are powerful. We can't win easily."
"I know." Colton nodded. He mulled over the matter for a moment and said, "Keep an eye on Nicole. I think she's
cutting ties with the Wrenns from now on."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAnna nodded. Colton had been trying to find the people who had hurt Nicole. "I know. Do what you have to do. I'll
take care of things here."
…
After Nicole had a miscarriage, Whitney came to see her, but Whitney herself looked bad. Her face was pale, her
cheeks were sunken, and she had dark circles under her eyes. Her head was hanging low, and she looked listless.
Whitney looked at Nicole and took a careful step ahead. She was at a loss for what to do, and a moment later, she
said, "Nicole."
Nicole had her eyes closed. When she heard someone opening the door, she thought it was Siobhan, so she didn't
open her eyes. Only when she heard Whitney's voice did she open her eyes to look. She looks sickly. Nicole
frowned. "What happened to you?"
Whitney used to be a carefree girl, unlike this cowardly husk of a woman. She dumbly shook her head and clasped
her hands together nervously. "Just lost some sleep lately."
After days of recuperation, Nicole had healed up. She pushed herself up and leaned on the back of her bed, then
she said, "Sit."
Whitney nodded and dragged a chair over, then she sat down.
Nicole sighed. "I'm fine. You didn't have to come. Look at you. Get some rest and don't run around."
Whitney hung her head low, looking dejected. She avoided seeing Nicole for a while because she was worried
Douglas might find her. She did take Emily's money and agreed to leave him. She could imagine the look on
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDouglas' face if he knew she had taken money from Emily, and she couldn't face him.
"Yeah," Whitney muttered.
Nicole could guess what she was thinking about and said, "No amount of convincing can help you with matters of
the heart. You'll have to figure it out yourself."
A bitter smile tugged on Whitney's lips. Only those who were in the pit of love could know how bad it was. "I know,
but I've made up my mind. I'll raise the baby myself. I owe Douglas too much."
Nicole was worried for her friend. She had lost a lot of weight after the whole fiasco abroad. "Just settle down and
get plenty of rest. If you keep your mind too occupied, it won't be good for the baby." The mention of babies filled
Nicole's eyes with sadness.
