Chapter 366 Have an Idea
Inside the room, Benedict’s body was currently connected to various medical equipment via tubes while
Richard sat on a stool aside, monitoring the old man.
Richard turned around upon hearing noiseing from the door and froze for a split second when he
realized that it was Nicole and Colton. “You two are early. You can actually sleep a while longer,” he
said with a smile.
Nicole took a gander at Benedict. Despite looking pallid, his breathing was considerably gentle.
With that, she asked Richard softly, “Are there any abnormalities with Old Mr. Benedict?”
Richard shook his head in response. “All good. I have to hand it to you and your skills. You even
sessfully pulled off such a life-threatening surgery.”
A hint of admiration shed across his eyes as he spoke.
Nicole smiled and replied with humility, “I’m just a doctor who’s trying my best to treat my patient.”

Seeing that the two hade, Richard stood up and rubbed his neck with one hand, tired from
monitoring Benedict the entire time.
“Since you guys havee, I’ll go back and take a nap. Call me if anything happens.”
Nicole nodded at that. “Go ahead.” Richard could go ahead and rest without worry since she’d be
around.
After Richard left, it was just the two of them and an unconscious Benedict in the room.
It wasn’t until she thoroughly checked Benedict and was certain he was okay that she grabbed a stool
to sit on.
Colton, on the other hand, took the opportunity to sit next to Nicole. After pondering for a while, he
spoke up. “I’ve had someone check the surveince, but Pierre didn’t seem suspicious from the looks
of the footage. I also did a thorough examination, and someone hacked into the surveince system
earlier.”
The man’s finding surprised Nicole. Did someone hack into the surveince system? Clearly, that
person is trying to cause chaos.
“In other words, we don’t have any evidence pointing toward Pierre now, do we?” Nicole asked.
Colton nodded in reply. “Are you sure it’s Pierre?”
Nicole couldn’t give him a straight answer. After all, usations required proof, and they had none at
the moment. As such, she couldn’t insist it was Pierre’s doing.
“I have somewhat of a history with Pierre, and he might be after me this time. Back then, he failed to
be White’s disciple because of me, and now, I’m out here stealing his limelight. It’s only normal
that he loathes me.”
All the servants at Gardner Residence had served the Gardners for decades, so they couldn’t possibly
doublecross the family. Nicole and Julia, on the other hand, didn’t sign a waiver of liability and
assumption of risk agreement, so they wouldn’t do anything since they wouldn’t gain anything from
harming Benedict.
If they put it that way, only Pierre was the most probable suspect.
“Will you be able to detect the drug residue?” Colton asked after some thought.
Nicole shook her head in response, exining as she drooped her eyes, “This substance vtilizes
very quickly. It’ll be gone after twelve hours of being in someone’s system.”
It was also why Pierre dared stay in Gardner Residence, not shying away at all. He knew they couldn’t
pull out any evidence even if he was suspected or discovered, after all.
Benedict would bleed out during surgery because of the agent, and a lot of time would be taken up
regardless of whether they could save Benedict or not. More than twelve hours would’ve passed by the
time they were done.
They had to admit that Pierre plotted every step to the T.
Colton crossed his arms and balled his hand into a fist as malice shed across his face.
Since we can’t do anything about him in the open, I’ll have someone deal with him in the shadows!
Colton thought as he drooped his eyelids.
While Colton was musing, an idea hit Nicole. “That’s it. I have an idea.”
After hearing Nicole’s voice, Colton returned to reality, and a faint smile instantly reced the malice on
his face.
