Chapter 480 Murder
“Okay. If you’re alright with it, you’d best hurry back.” Colton was exuding indifference, as if he didn’t want to make much contact with Queenie. Queenie was about to speak, but she was then interrupted by Colton.
“You’re pregnant now, so don’t walk around. I will let someone deliver the dress to your home. Don’t come to the Gardner Corporation until the child is born.”
Queenie was stunned and she wanted to speak. However, seeing the expressionless Colton, she wisely swallowed her words. Then, she looked deeply at Colton and finally bit her lip while leaving.
After Queenie left, Colton finally looked at Nicole. Meanwhile, Nicole was still unhappy. He had heard the women arguing, so he came in to help Nicole to deter Queenie.
“Don’t be angry. If you don’t want to pay attention to Queenie, you can rest at home for the next few days.”
Nicole lowered her eyes and nodded without hesitation. “Thank you, President Gardner.”
Ms. Betty’s health has gradually gotten better. Moreover, I have to pay attention to Julia, and I really am overwhelmed. If Colton is willing to give me a rest, I will gladly take it.
Betty was healing in the hospital and despite her memory being restored intermittently, her memories were not regressing.
Nicole drove to the hospital after saying goodbye to Colton.
When she arrived at the ward, she found a doctor was injecting some medicine into Betty’s vial. Meanwhile, Betty was asleep on the bed.
The doctor was startled when he saw someone coming, but he quickly finished injecting the medicine.
Nicole was confused and asked, “What is that medicine?”
The doctor looked slightly flustered and said, “It’s some sleeping drug. The patient hasn’t been sleeping very well lately.”
Nicole nodded without any doubts and approached Betty to take a look. When Nicole saw Betty’s face, her heart skipped a beat. It was because Betty’s face was as pale as a sheet of white paper and her lips utterly white, as if she was already dead.
When Nicole wanted to ask the doctor about Betty, she found the doctor was long gone.
After thinking about it for a while, she suddenly felt something was wrong and hurriedly pulled out the needle from Betty. Although Nicole pulled it out in time, Betty still trembled uncontrollably as some of the drugs had already entered her body.
So, Nicole quickly rang the alarm and took Betty to the emergency room.
After two hours of resuscitation, Betty was finally out of danger, and Nicole was relieved.
The doctor said Betty was still alive because not much drug had flowed into her body.
Nicole remembered the doctor who had injected the drug into Betty. Still, she searched around the hospital and found no such person.
Nicole was certain that the doctor was here to murder Betty.
Still, why did he want to kill Ms. Betty? Her life would be in danger if I didn’t arrive on time.
Nicole’s eyes turned dark.
There is only one conclusion. It must be Lydia and Queenie who want to kill Ms. Betty! Ms. Betty has lived alone for so long and has almost no conflict with anyone. However, Lydia fed her the drug, which caused her memory to fail. Now, Ms. Betty’s memory has almost recovered because I sent her to receive the treatment here. Lydia must be afraid that Ms. Betty will remember something terrible. This memory will most probably destroy Lydia’s life, so she wants to murder Ms. Betty.
When Nicole was looking at Betty, her phone suddenly rang. She glanced at it and found it was a call from Colton.
As soon as she answered the call, she heard Colton’s anxious tone. “Nicky, Mom and Hayden had a car accident.”
