Right Person, Wrong Time

Chapter 1063 Don't Know What You're Scared Of

Nicole looked at the pitiful look on Wendy's face and ruffled her hair as she said softly, "If I was kidnapped at your age, I wouldn't be able to sleep too."

Wendy looked at her with teary eyes. "Really? You're not lying, Nicole?"

She smiled and intertwined her hands with Wendy's before saying, "Of course not. Alright. Stop thinking about it. After you've recovered, you'll return home safe and sound. Nothing like this will happen ever again."

Wendy nodded with a sniffle as she tried to stop herself from crying.

Nicole was right. Anyone wouldn't be able to sleep at all from the trauma of being kidnapped at the young age of 18.

She accompanied Wendy for a while as they chatted. Soon, Wendy couldn't hold on to her consciousness any longer and dozed off.

Then, Nicole reached for her phone and texted Colton. 'Mr. Gardner, you're on your own tonight. I'm accompanying your sister tonight.'

Colton read Nicole's text as a smile crept up his eyes and replied with a smirk, 'It's alright. I can wait. We have many opportunities to sleep together.'

On the other hand, Nicole blushed slightly at his text and locked her phone screen without replying to him as she lay down beside Wendy.

The next day, Nicole woke up to find Wendy still asleep curled up in a ball like an insecure baby.

It seemed like she was stuck in a nightmare as her body was tense and there was a deep furrow between her brows.

Nicole approached her and suddenly heard a faint voice pleading, "No... No... Save me..."

Her eyes darkened as she went closer and wrapped her arms around her as she patted Wendy's back. She tried to console the poor girl gently, "I'm here. Don't be scared."

Finally, Wendy's furrowed brows relaxed as if she heard someone comforting her.

As Wendy's breathing calmed down, Nicole was still frowning. Ever since they rescued Wendy, she seemed calm before people and didn't say a word about her predicament during her kidnapping. Yet, it seemed like she was afraid of something.

Perhaps, something unexpected had happened during that incident.

Nicole's face turned even grimmer as she thought of that possibility.

Around 9.00AM, Wendy finally blinked awake and turned her head to see Nicole leaning against the headboard reading a book silently.

It felt like she had slept for at least a decade as her body ached slightly due to her long slumber. She yawned and rubbed her bleary eyes. As she kept a fetal position throughout the night, she couldn't help but stretch her body to get rid of the soreness in her body.

"Nicole, what time is it?" Wendy asked in a hoarse voice.

"9.00AM It's still early. You can sleep more if you want to," Nicole replied with a tilt of her head.

Wendy shook her head and leaned against the headboard lazily. "I'm alright. I'm up anyway."

Nicole didn't press the matter further and placed the book in her hand down before grabbing Wendy's arm for an abrupt inspection.

Wendy tried to jerk her arm back as if she wanted to hide something, but Nicole had a tight grasp of her hand.

"Nicole, what are you doing?" Wendy desperately wanted to shove Nicole off, but Nicole had a death grip on her.

Her panicked look was all Nicole needed to confirm something.
