Chapter 685
Gabriel was left completely shocked. If he didn't know his mother's character well, he would've thought Nicole was
his mother's illegitimate daughter after seeing much resemblance between them.
Perhaps due to the resemblance, Gabriel couldn't help feeling concerned about Nicole's abnormal condition. "You
seem like you've been drugged. I have some antidotes from the army. Would you like to try it?" he offered.
His father held a high position with strong authority, so he was constantly guarding against people with bad
intentions who might pull him down by indecent means. Therefore, the former would always prepare antidotes for
his son to carry around.
Nicole looked at the man in front of her suspiciously. Why was he being courteous all of a sudden? She knew that he
was likely a bad person. Otherwise, why would he treat her so well? What was his intention?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtGabriel could tell how skeptical Nicole was, so he fished out the medicine and said, "I'm not a bad person."
Nicole chuckled and raised her head to look at him. "A bad guy wouldn't admit he's bad, would he?"
Gabriel was about to defend himself when she suddenly took the medicine and popped it into her mouth. "But you
don't look like a bad person to me. I'll believe you for now."
Nicole swallowed the pill dryly. Not sure if it was a psychological effect, but after swallowing the pill, she felt that the
heat in her body dissipated a lot. She then reached out to wipe off her sweat. Seeing how Gabriel was still standing
in the same spot, she asked curiously, "Why are you here?"
With a faint smile on his face, Gabriel replied simply, "This is my room."
Hearing that, Nicole was instantly embarrassed. She was the one who came to his room in a panic. Ironically, she
was the one who questioned his existence instead. "Ahem, sorry. I was feeling too warm, and when I saw the door
being left ajar, I came in right away."
Gabriel didn't mean to blame her for it, so he nodded and said, "It's fine. Something happened just now, so I went
out to take a look. That's why I left the door open."
Did something happen? Nicole belatedly recalled that when she came to this room, there was no one in the empty
hall. Frowning, she inquired, "What happened?"
She was locked in the room earlier. When Harvey came just now, he took Zachary away in a hurry, so she didn't
think about other matters at that time.
"Yeah. A sniper ambushed and injured someone just now, so it caused the crowd to panic."
Nicole was stunned to hear that. A sniper?
"Who was hurt?" Nicole asked habitually.
"The target of the sniper was Colton, but one of the security guards managed to take the bullet for him. Colton is
currently accompanying the security guard to the hospital," Gabriel answered without the intention of hiding.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNicole took a sharp breath. The sniper's target was Colton! Her first suspect was Undercity. When Hayden
disappeared last time, she confronted the members of Undercity head-on. It turned out that their targets weren't
just the Clancy Family, but also Colton!
"Do you perhaps know which hospital they went to?" Nicole asked. For some reason, hearing that Colton might be
injured made her uneasy.
Looking at Nicole's worried expression, Gabriel roughly guessed her identity.
"Are you Nicole Anderson?" Gabriel inquired.
Nicole didn't expect that the person in front of her would call out her name, so with a hint of surprise, she nodded
and responded, "Yes."
Everything made sense now. With that, Gabriel smiled, "My name is Gabriel Wrenn, and I'm Evelyn Wrenn's
brother."
Evelyn's brother? Nicole frowned. Could he be seeking revenge at this critical moment? Warily, she took two steps
backward. Now that the antidote had just started to work, she didn't have much energy yet. There was no way she
could beat an adult man in a head-on fight.
