Chapter 997 Investigation
After that, she called the Gould Residence to have a specialized medical team sent here.
Colton stepped on the gas and sped along the way, but he didn't arrive at the hospital until around 20 minutes later.
When he reached the emergency room in a hurry and saw Siobhan at the entrance, he asked anxiously, "How is
Nicole right now?"
Siobhan shook her head. "I don't know about that as she's still undergoing surgery at the moment. But those in
there are professionals from the Gould Family's medical team, so don't worry."
Only when he heard that Nicole was okay did Colton's tense body relax somewhat.
Roger smashed his fist against the wall nearby in anger, making such a loud noise that even Siobhan was startled.
Thanks to his sturdy build and the crudeness written all over his face, he looked dangerous in every way. "Why
would such a thing happen to her?!" he said anxiously while narrowing his sharp eyes.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtColton replied in a cold voice, "Someone purposely lured us away, leaving Nicole alone so that they had the
opportunity to strike."
"They must have a serious death wish!" Roger said.
Seeing that Siobhan was still here, Colton didn't say anything else. He replied with a wave of his hand, "Now isn't the
time for anything yet. Let's wait until Nicole comes around."
Roger darted a glance at Siobhan. Looking at the woman who resembled his boss, he didn't say anything else. He
and others had heard on their way here from Uzor that Nicole was a daughter of the Wrenn Family and the Gould
Family, so the woman before him was probably her mother.
Siobhan didn't quite understand what the two men were talking about, but she didn't ask them either. Looking at
Colton, she explained, "Nicole's pregnant, but she's in danger of losing her baby and is still undergoing emergency
treatment right now. I don't know the details about her condition, though."
Colton clenched his fists. He had never been so afraid before in his life, but fear welled up in him at this very
moment as he was afraid of losing Nicole. After glancing down for a while, he looked up, asking, "Where did she fall
off?"
Siobhan raised her chin, saying, "She fell off that building. I've checked the surveillance footage, but it was recorded
from a bad angle. One could only see her fall off the building, but they couldn't see how exactly she fell."
Colton nodded. He replied under his breath, "Madam Gould, I'll go and take a look now, so please stay here and
watch over Nicole. Call me if there's anything."
Siobhan nodded and replied with a wave of her hand, "Just go and take a look."
Colton nodded before turning around to leave at once. Although he wished he could stay beside Nicole right now,
he was unskilled in medicine, so it wouldn't be very helpful for him to stay by her side. Instead, he might find some
clues by going to the crime scene right now.
Roger followed Colton to the building opposite.
There were some people on the first floor of the opposite building, but the third floor was quiet save for the doctors
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmon duty.
Looking at the quiet place, Roger asked suspiciously, "What did Boss come here for? There's nothing here except
some medical devices, so she wouldn't have come here for no reason."
Colton said as he walked, "Someone might have lured her here."
"Boss hasn't stayed in Lome over these years, but she's quite skilled at fighting. Ordinary people wouldn't be a
match for her," Roger replied.
They walked side by side before entering the room from where Nicole had fallen off the building. The room wasn't
cordoned off yet, nor had anyone cleaned the inside deliberately. As a result, it was clear at a glance that the room
was full of signs of struggle.
Colton's face darkened. I just knew that it wasn't that simple. Seeing the signs of struggle from the entrance all the
way to the windowsill, he could tell that Nicole had been dragged all the way from the desk to the window.
He stood in front of the window and looked down. There was still blood down there, which had been taped off with
something.
