Chapter 794
Colton's insistence almost ticked Evelyn off. She intended to make him stay with her pitiful act, yet he was not
bothered in the slightest. His mind only consisted of Nicole!
Instead of wasting time with Evelyn, Colton bent over to carry Nicole before leaving the scene. A livid Evelyn
shouted his name at the same spot, "Colton!"
The man did not even respond to her.
Her eyes reddened due to ire, but she could not chase after them right now. Although Siobhan's life was not in
critical condition, someone had to look after her.

The hospital was quite empty, but outsiders were passing by the hallway. Feeling embarrassed, Nicole buried her
red face into Colton's chest. This is so embarrassing! A man is carrying me in public, and it's a princess hug to that.
He carried her toward the entrance. It was not until then did she realize that it was already evening. No wonder the
hospital isn't crowded.
The sky darkened, embracing the world in shadows. The streetlamps and neon lights lit up and added colorful luster
to the darkness.
When they arrived at his car, he gingerly put her down and held her shoulders. "How do you feel? Are you still
feeling dizzy?"
She turned her head slightly to the side, and two patches of red were on her cheeks. Her gaze was fixed on the
ground when she reassured him, "It's no big deal. I'll be fine after a good night's sleep."

Then, she raised her head to face him before voicing her opinion, "You should take care of Miss Wrenn, President
Gardner. Madam Gould is unconscious, and Miss Wrenn might not be able to handle the situation."
"The professional medical team is with her. There's nothing for me to worry about. Plus, I won't be able to help
much either if I stay."
His confident remark rendered her speechless. She took a moment to think before replying, "She's kinda emotional
right now. Someone has to stay by her side."
Colton frowned slightly, seemingly unpleasant. His intense gaze zeroed in on her for a while before he cupped her
cheeks. Caressing her skin softly, he asked, "Why do you love pushing your man away?"
Words failed her, but her heart raced at that. She tugged away his hands and straightened things out. "Cut it out!"
A faint smile flashed across his lips, and he approached her ear to whisper, "Am I wrong?"

The warm air and ambiguous words tickled her ears, causing her to shrink her neck. "Stop it."
The smile on his face beamed wider when he noticed her bashful reaction. He straightened his back and confessed,
"I only care for you, Nicole."
Her body went stiff, but she attempted to step aside before meeting his eyes coldly. "President Gardner, I believe
I've cleared things up before this."
He lifted his brow while hearing her out.
"Besides, Evelyn is the only daughter of the Wrenn Family. She has the Wrenns and Goulds as her backer. It'll do you
and your company good if you date her."
By then, his expression fell somber as he tightened his fists. "It'll do me good? Dealing with the woman I do not like
will do me good?"
