Chapter 1010 Cutting Ties
He held Nicole's hand and realized it was as cold as ice. "Did Madam Gould say that?"
Nicole shook her head, looking like she would keel over anytime. She explained, "No. I came to a decision. Evelyn
must be involved in this case, but Madam Gould took her side anyway. I have nothing to say about that." There was
sadness in her eyes, but there was also resolve. "She's my birth mother, and that won't change no matter what. But

I see. She wants to cut all ties with them. Colton paused for a moment. Then, he smiled. "Sure. You have my

Noticing the look in her eyes, Colton got closer and kissed her cheek. "It's alright. We're still young. We'll have more
kids."
The woman touched her flat belly and depressingly said, "I know. I just feel sad for the baby. She's gone before
she's even born."
Colton kept comforting her; he knew she felt miserable from the loss. After he was done visiting Nicole, he went to
