Chapter 801
Colton reached out and wiped Nicole's lips clean before looking at her.
She didn't put on any makeup today and only wore a light layer of lipstick to make her complexion look better. Once
he removed her lipstick to reveal her pale face and lips, he finally saw that her condition was worse than expected.
Frowning, he asked, "Why do you look so pale?"
He thought she would be fine after a good night's rest but now that he was looking at her ghastly face, he couldn't
help but feel worried.
Turning her body to the side, Nicole avoided his act of concern before softly retorting in an estranged manner,
"President Gardner, I don't need you to be worried about me. Now that Madam Gould is feeling better, there's no
need for me to be here. Zach is still waiting for me outside, so please excuse me."

She quickly finished her speech and was ready to leave, but Colton came forward and blocked her way. He looked
at her with a gloomy face and a vicious expression, asking, "Do you enjoy using Zachary to make me angry?"
A calm smile appeared on her face as she looked up at him. "President Gardner, you're so full of yourself," she
rebuked. "Why is there a need for me to make you angry?"
Colton squinted his long, narrow eyes which were currently filled with a sense of viciousness as he glanced at her
coldly.
Meanwhile, Nicole didn't back down and looked back at him before adding, "President Gardner, I came here to visit
Madam Gould. Now that she's feeling better, there's no point in me staying here any longer."
After noticing how eager she was to leave, Colton couldn't help but lower his voice and ask, "Nicole, do you hate me
so much that you're not willing to stay a minute longer?"
With her back to Colton, she didn't turn around as she stated coldly, "Even if the incident with William Anderson
hadn't happened, I still wouldn't have chosen you. The both of us are from different worlds, so why bother getting

into a relationship that won't work? You and Miss Wrenn belong with each other."
Once Nicole finished her words, she immediately left.
Colton's expression was frighteningly dark as he stared fixedly at the woman while she left. He had his lips pursed
together without saying anything more.
When Nicole came out of the hospital, she finally relaxed as she thought, Colton almost saw through me just now.
She clenched her fists, not knowing why her heart was suddenly aching.
Meanwhile, Zachary was waiting outside the hospital and immediately got out of the car to support Nicole after
seeing her come out the door.
She looked up at him and called out softly, "Zach."
As he had noticed her poor complexion, he couldn't help caressing her cheek while asking, "Did they mistreat you?

Why do you look so pale?"
Shaking her head, Nicole merely murmured, "Maybe it's because I haven't recovered that I look a little pale."
He then reached over to grab her hand. Though she was stunned by his actions, she didn't reject him and let him
pull her toward the car.
While he helped her with her seatbelt, he informed her, "The Wrenn Family has backgrounds in both the political
and business sectors. Since you've saved Madam Gould, the Wrenns will help you if you face any problems in the
future."
Nicole hummed in response.
After helping her buckle her seatbelt, Zachary returned to the driver's seat.
Just as he was about to leave, he discovered that Colton had appeared before his car at some point.
Colton was wearing a neat suit today and looked entirely different from how he did back at the restaurant. His outfit
today added to his imposing manner.
His handsome face tensed up as he stared at the duo with his jet-black eyes.
Zachary looked up at the other man, their gazes engaged in an invisible battle.
