Chapter 659 Don’t Wait
They hadn’t just captured the men trying to run out of the cave, and even surrounded the entire hill to ensure that all the criminals were put behind bars. Once this was done, Cole finally had the time to check on Nichs. “How’s your injury? Can you hang in there for a while more?”
“I’m fine,” Nichs said as he stood up to show that he was alright. But to his surprise, he felt the world around him spinning when he got to his feet. He couldn’t move his injured shoulder at all as it waspletely numb. Cole hurried forward to steady Nichs when he saw Nichs stumbling backward. “What is it?” Cole asked worriedly.
“Whatever they attacked me with seemed to have had some tranquilizer. My head’s spinning, and I can’t feel my shoulder.” Nichs was honest about his condition. Cole was shocked to hear this, and he hurriedly ordered someone to send Nichs to the hospital. While they were on the way there, Nichs could no longer fight against the potent chemicals in his bloodstream, eventually passing out.
He was frustrated about how he couldn’t travel overseas just moments before he lost all consciousness. Unfortunately, it seems like I won’t be able to catch thest flight there!
…
The actual show day came in the blink of an eye. However, Tessa didn’t receive any news from Nichs, and she had a bad feeling about his sudden disappearance. Timothy noticed how uneasy his sister seemed, so he gave her a suggestion. “Why don’t you just call Nichs and ask him where he is, Tessa?”
Gregory added to this. “Yeah. Call Daddy and ask him what’s taking him so long,” the small boy uttered. Tessa pulled her phone out to contact Nichs after h that. But his phone rang for a long while without anyone picking it up. Tessa frowned as she ended the call and met gazes with Gregory and Timothy. “No one is picking up,” she said while shaking her head.
Timothy frowned as a puzzled look surfaced in his eyes. Even Gregory rested his chin on his hands before he pressed his cheeks together and muttered to himself. “What’s Daddy doing? Why isn’t he picking his phone up?”
It wasn’t Nichs’ fault—he was in aa and couldn’t do anything. Meanwhile, Kaiden told J about Nichs’ injuries, and she hurried over from Southend to visit him. “How’s Nichs, Cole? Are his injuries really severe?” J barely took a breath after rushing to the ward—she immediately asked about Nichs’ condition.
Cole didn’t bother to hide anything, so he told her what he knew about Nichs’ condition. “His wounds have been treated, and it’s nothing serious, so he should be able to wake up once the medication wears off.” After that, he changed his tone of voice. “It’s great that you’re here, J. You can take care of Nichs for a bit. I have to handle some issues and can onlye backter.”
“You can go ahead, Cole. I’ll take care of him.” J wouldn’t mind if Cole didn’t return—that way, she could spend more alone time with Nichs.
Cole wasn’t aware of all this, of course. He hurried out of the room after hearing J’s response. On the other hand, J moved a chair closer to the bed so she could sit down and admire Nichs’ wless face. A sly grin formed on her lips as she gazed at him. Great. Now, he can’t abandon me to go and meet that b*tch, Tessa.
The room was eerily quiet until a ringing phone broke the silence. When J saw that it was a call from Tessa, her initial thought had been to ignore it. However, the phone continued ringing. J narrowed her eyes as she seemed to realize something. There was a mysterious look on her face as she picked the call up. “Where are you, Nichs? When are youing?” Tessa’s gentle voice came from the phone. J scoffed. “You shouldn’t wait for him, Miss Reinhart. It’s impossible for him to go there now, and he has more important things to handle other than music.” She ended the call immediately after that.
Tessa clutched her phone as she sat on the hotel bed. Her expression seemed rather gloomy, and Timothy and Gregory immediately caught on. “What did Nichs say? Did he make you angry?”Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
