Right Person, Wrong Time

Chapter 1021 Anxious

At that, Colton patted Roger's shoulder. It was the first time they were not being hostile to each other and spoke in such a calm manner, "We will get our revenge, but not now."

Having spent time with Colton, Roger had developed a minor admiration for him. Although he was annoyed by Colton's pretty boy looks, he was a responsible man.

"Fine. In the future, you can contact me directly if you need anything. Since you and Boss are together, you're somewhat related to Lome now." He suddenly changed the topic and cautioned fiercely, "But I'm warning you. You're not to betray Boss, and if you have to break up, Boss must be the one to dump you. Otherwise, I'll twist your head off and kick it around!"

Though Colton had heard that Lome was highly protective of their members, he realized they were merciless to others when protecting their own now that he had experienced it.

"I will never break up with Nicole." With that, Colton strode away on his long legs.

Although Adam had given his promise, Colton was still worried sick about Nicole, so he needed to head over to the hospital to check on her. Knowing why he left, Roger did not stop him and stayed behind to tie up loose ends.

Soon, Colton arrived at the hospital and finally felt relieved after entering Nicole's ward and seeing her peaceful figure on the bed. When she noticed his panic, she was confused and asked, "What's the matter?"

He approached the bed and noticed that she had mostly recovered after several days of rest. Her originally pale face was now slightly pink, and she was staring curiously at him with her clear eyes. While caressing her face, he shook his head with a smile. "It's nothing. I just came to check up on you."

However, Nicole was no fool. She could see the concern on Colton's face when he rushed over earlier. "I'm not stupid. I know something must've happened for you to run over here so anxiously." She rolled her eyes.

Since she had exposed him, he did not hide anything from her and pulled a chair over before telling her the whole story. Her eyes dimmed as she stayed silent for a long while before piping up, "It's fine. There's still time to get revenge."

"I'm sorry." He pursed his lips before apologizing.

Looking at his disappointed look, she comforted him. "It's fine. It's not your fault."

Faced with her consolation, he smiled, eliciting a puppy look on his manly face.

Sasha had been in a daze since she left. When Adam noticed her behavior, he chastised her, "If you want to get revenge for Alvin, you'd better pull yourself together."

Looking at him soullessly, she remained emotionless as if she was a porcelain doll. She held on until now because she had something she was striving for-Colton. She thought she could be with him after leaving Undercity, but things did not go as planned. Not only had he fallen in love with someone else, but he even killed the person closest to her.

When she thought about Alvin, she felt a pang in her heart. She clenched her fists so hard that her long nails dug into her palm, but she could not feel any pain. Instead, only a dense discomfort flooded her chest, causing her to feel contractions in her heart. "I understand." She looked up, revealing her cold eyes.

Since Colton doesn't like me, I won't let that woman have him either!

Seeing that Sasha had slightly regained her senses, Adam added, "Your stupid act has offended Wolf and the members of Lome. From now on, the Undercity will be facing a difficult future."
