Chapter 1241 Almost Succeeded

"There's a bomb around his waist, Colton!"

The moment Nicole finished speaking, she charged forward and grabbed Logan's hands.

Even though Logan was old and frail, it was still difficult for the woman to subdue him.

While trying to protect her belly, she exerted herself to restrain the older man so that he wouldn't beable to detonate the bomb.

Without hesitation, Colton dashed forward to help her out.

Logan struggled hard to press the button, but before he could succeed, Colton stopped him in time anddismantled the bomb.

"Don't move!"

The police arrived and pointed their pistols at Logan, who fell into a dazed state, not knowing what todo. He wasn't afraid of death. However, since he knew he couldn't kill himself at this point, he had nochoice but to submit to fate.

"Nicole."

After the police took over the older man, Colton supported Nicole's weight and asked worriedly, "Areyou alright? Does it hurt anywhere?"

Nicole shook her head and subconsciously covered her belly. Fortunately, Colton had given her a

helping hand in time, which made it impossible for Logan to harm the child.

As she recalled everything, she was still reeling from the shock. She shook her head again and said,"I'm fine. Don't worry."

At that, Colton pulled her into his embrace and he was glad that the woman was fine.

"Don't worry, Mr. Gardner. We'll keep an eye on the culprit. Will you and Miss Anderson please head tothe police station to give an account of what happened?" A police officer approached them with anintercom. The person on the other end of the line seemed to be saying something.

Colton nodded while embracing Nicole. "My wife must be in shock. Can we go over to the police stationat a later time?"

After hearing that, the police officer seemed to be in a dilemma. The other police officers were busy, sohe couldn't give him an answer at that point.

"I'm fine, Colton. It won't take us much time to give an account," Nicole said gently while grabbing theman's arms.

She was glad that the child and Colton were safe. Moreover, she wasn't traumatized or anything. Assuch, they had to cooperate with the police.

Colton was still worried as he subconsciously hugged the woman tighter as though trying to becomeone with her. The notion of possibly losing the woman forever still terrified him.

"Alright, please come with me, Mr. Gardner and Miss Anderson." The police officer nodded in surprise

and flashed a smile at Nicole before turning around to leave.

There was no doubt Nicole had saved him a lot of trouble. Not only would they avoid beingreprimanded by their higher-ups, but they also didn't need to slow down the investigation. It was theperfect outcome for the police.

Colton supported Nicole's weight as they entered the police car. Suddenly thinking of something, hesaid, "Tell Roxanna you're safe. When Old Mr. Yael sent me a message, I wasn't sure if the kidnappingwas true, so I went to the medical base for confirmation. As such, Roxanna is aware that you werekidnapped."

Nicole looked at the man in shock. When she realized the problem, she nodded. "Sure. My phone wasdestroyed by Old Mr. Yael. Please lend me your phone. I remember her contact number."

While waiting for Colton's arrival earlier, Logan had been talking to Nicole. All of a sudden, he snatchedher phone away and hurled it to the ground, causing it to break apart.

At the thought of this, Nicole let out a helpless sigh. It seemed that she had to purchase a new phone,but she wasn't sure if she could retrieve the backups from her old phone.

As Colton looked at Logan in the distance, he was still worried. The next moment, he approached theolder man.

Since Logan's hands were cuffed, he could only straighten up and bellow, "Colton, don't ever think thatthe Gardners will be unrivaled just because the Yaels are no longer around!"

Colton wasn't bothered by the older man's words. He stared fixedly at Logan and questioned, "I don't

care what you do to me, but why did you kidnap Nicole? What benefits would it bring you?"

He didn't dare imagine the state Nicole would've ended up in if Logan had succeeded.
