Chapter 974 Don’t Catch a Cold
The car was parked right in front of the hospital entrance. It was just a couple of steps away.
Nicole thought nothing about the distance. Instead, she suggested, "Let's get going. I'll feel much better after going
back and taking a shower."
After that, she attempted to rush to the car. However, Colton grabbed her arm and accused in a low voice, "Are you
out of your mind?"
Nicole turned her head in his direction, confusion written all over her face.
"I'll bring the car around. Stay here," Colton muttered. Then, he removed his suit jacket and put it on her body.
Warmth suddenly replaced the coldness that had originally enveloped her body.
It was November and the weather always turned cooler around this time of year, but not completely freezing.
People always wear long-sleeved shirts to keep warm whenever they headed outdoors. However, the sudden
change in weather today was unexpected. The rain was pouring and even the air was chilly.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNicole was already feeling cold when Colton and she left the house earlier, but she didn't bother to say anything.
However, Colton was observant enough to notice her discomfort.
She wondered if it had something to do with her pregnancy as she kept imagining things lately.
Colton rushed into the rain. He ran fast, making it to his destination within a few moments. However, he was
soaking wet due to the heavy rain.
He only wore a white button-down aside from the suit jacket. The rain drenched the silk shirt, and it clung to
Colton's body like a second skin, setting off his toned physique.
Colton turned the car around and stopped in front of Nicole.
Nicole opened the door and entered the car where the vehicle's heater welcomed her. Tilting her head to the side,
she shifted her gaze to Colton's face.
He looked like a drowned rat. His dark and rain-drenched hair stuck to his forehead. Raindrops trickled down his
hair, causing the strands to become a disheveled mess.
The shirt clung to his body, outlining his muscular chest. Even his black trousers were soaked wet by the pouring
rain.
Nicole gave his suit jacket back. Averting her eyes, she dryly said, "Put it on."
Her response made Colton chuckle a little. He slightly raised his chin, a glint of amusement coloring his dark eyes as
his gaze fell on her. "Are you perhaps worried about me?"
Nicole was rather speechless. After a moment of silence, she replied, "Don't catch a cold. I don't want to get it from
you."
Another low chuckle escaped Colton. He then hit the gas and pulled away from the hospital without a word.
It took them about twenty minutes to arrive home after departing from the hospital. Colton eventually parked the
car in the underground parking lot.
When the pair returned home, a new wave of discomfort struck Nicole. Her limbs were weak and even walking
drained her strength.
Fortunately, the nausea was no longer bothering her. However, her stomach grumbled due to the fact she hadn't
eaten anything. Even so, she didn't feel like eating.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmColton was concerned about her behavior of occupying the couch the moment they arrived home. "Is everything
okay?"
Nicole lifted her half-closed eyes and glanced at him. "Don't worry about me," she mumbled in a weak voice. "You
need a shower, or else you'll catch a cold."
Colton reached out his hand and touched her forehead with the back of his hand. A surge of relief ran through him
once he made sure she didn't have a fever. Watching her pale face, he began in a low voice, "I'll make you a meal.
You haven't eaten anything since morning. It's not good for your stomach."
Nicole shook her head. Even though she was hungry, she didn't have an appetite at all.
"I don't want to eat anything. By the way, you should get changed. I'm taking a nap first." Lying on the couch, Nicole
forced the words out of her mouth.
Colton cast a glance at her before looking down at his soaked clothes.
I can't carry her upstairs in my wet clothes. She might get a cold from me. Thus, Colton had no choice but to
prepare some chowder in the kitchen before heading upstairs for a shower.
After he went upstairs, Nicole adjusted herself on the couch. Fortunately, there was enough space on the couch for
her to sleep in any position she pleased.
I wasn't expecting this pregnancy to be so terrible. I don't just suffer from morning sickness. I'm also feeling weak
to the degree that I don't feel comfortable
