Chapter 510 Thankfully Alright

At this moment, Richard felt the most helpless and lost. The elders in the family never forced him to doanything. In university, he had resolutely chosen to study medicine.

When his family found out, they didn’t object. Instead, they smiled and told him, “Studying medicine isgood. When we have a doctor in the family in the future, we’ll feel more relaxed no matter whatsickness we get.”

Meanwhile, the Jenkins ran a company focused on interior design. Even though they couldn’t compareto the Gardners, they were still quite well-known in the country.

Now, he felt as if he were standing at the edge of the cliff, and a sheer drop with unfathomable depthswas ahead of him. Behind him was a pack of ferocious and hungry wolves, yet he couldn’t step forwardnor backward.

Richard swallowed, but he didn’t say anything in the end. He held his head between his hands as hewaited outside the emergency room.

Fortunately, Julia was sent to the hospital on time, so she wasn’t in serious danger. The doctor walkedout with a grave expression and looked up to ask, “Who’s the family member?”

Nicole hadn’t even answered when Richard stepped forward first. With a stride, he went right up to thedoctor and said, “Me.”

The doctor glanced at Richard and said blamingly, “You’re an adult now, so why don’t you know thatpregnant women aren’t supposed to come into contact with poison? Even if precautions were taken,she’s still pregnant with a child, so she cannot touch even a sliver of poison!”

Richard nodded, giving a quick response. Still, he didn’t say anything more.

Right after that, Julia was wheeled out. She still looked a little weak, but she was alright now.

She obviously saw Richard as well, for she didn’t look too happy to see him. She then simply looked atNicole and said, “Nicole, I’ll be fine, so head on back. Hayden still needs you.”

Nicole was rather hesitant. Since Julia was pregnant now, she didn’t have much contact with her family.Nicole couldn’t let Julia stay in the hospital alone.

Just as Nicole was hesitating, Richard, who had been silent all this while, suddenly spoke up.

“I’ll take care of Julia. Don’t worry.”

Julia closed her eyes. Even though she didn’t really like Richard, she nodded so that Nicole could stopworrying.

Nicole glanced at Richard. She felt that she couldn’t be of much help here, and it was time for Richardand Julia to have a proper talk with each other.

At the thought of this, Nicole closed her eyes and nodded, saying, “Okay, I’ll be going back now. Giveme a call if anything happens, Julia.”

Julia responded quietly.

Nicole dragged herself back home. As soon as she returned, she heard Wendy complaining thatQueenie had came into the house and even hurt Hayden. When Nicole heard that, she immediatelyperked up and hastily went upstairs to have a look.

She ran into Hayden’s room, but Hayden wasn’t there. She then turned around and headed for Colton’sroom.

Upon opening the door, she found Hayden sleeping on Colton’s bed.

Colton’s room was simple, and it was completely bare save for some necessary furniture.

On the large, dark gray bed was a small bump of a person’s body. Meanwhile, Colton was sitting at thedesk by the window, working on something on his laptop.

The sound of the door opening was crystal clear in the quiet room. Colton turned around when heheard the noise, and when he saw that it was Nicole, he closed his laptop and looked at her.

Nicole looked at Hayden on the bed, then tiptoed her way over there. She drew back the blanket andcarefully lifted his clothes. Just as expected, there was a large reddish area on his waist.

Even though ointment was already applied on it, the child’s skin was very soft, so the mark hadn’tdisappeared yet.

Nicole frowned, then carefully pulled up the blankets again. She turned to look at Colton, saying in ahushed voice, “Can we talk outside?”

Colton nodded and followed Nicole out.

As soon as they went out the door, Nicole asked right away, “What’s with the injury on Hayden’s body?”
