Chapter 76 Feeding Medicine
Zachary was taken aback when he heard Harvey’s words. He quickly asked into his phone, “You said Nicole?”
“Yes, my dear sister-in-law. But, thanks to my superb medical skills, she’s all right now,” Harvey replied.
Zachary gripped his phone, a fierce glint flashing in his dark eyes. His expression, which was originally gentle, was now completely cold. Someone dared to hurt Nicole! He said in a low voice, “I got it. Help me take care of Nicole for a few days, and I’ll come back as soon as I finish handling these issues.”
“Zachary, is Dad putting pressure on you?” Harvey asked quietly.
Their father wanted Zachary to work in his own company before, but Zachary had a different outlook and went to F&M Apparel instead, where he made a name for himself. After that, their father’s schemes had never stopped. Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
“It’s fine. I’ll finish taking care of it soon. You should just relax and stay in the country. Even if the sky falls down, I’ll be there to hold it,” Zachary said.
Harvey hummed lowly in reply, his gaze lowered.
In the house, after Colton drove Harvey out, he went back upstairs.
Annie had just changed Nicole’s clothes, and Nicole had woken up in a daze.
As she was heavily drugged, coupled with the severe symptoms, even after she had recovered due to the antidote, her body was still weak.
The flush on her face had dissipated, leaving her complexion unusually pale. She leaned against the head of the bed and was drinking the soup slowly.
Colton opened the door and went in, where he saw Annie feeding Nicole. He slowly approached them, and Annie immediately reacted to his presence.
“Young master,” she called out respectfully.
“Let me do it. It’s getting late. You should get some rest, Annie.” Colton stretched out his hand to take the bowl of soup as he loomed over the head of the bed, his tall figure casting a dark shadow on them.
Annie obediently handed the soup to him and nodded before she quietly retreated.
Now that only the two of them were left in the room, silence hung in the air.
Colton took the bowl, the silver spoon making a crisp clattering sound in the bowl. He touched it with his hand and found that the ginger soup wasn’t very hot anymore, so he directly scooped a spoonful and brought it to her mouth.
Nicole lowered her eyes and looked at the spoon brought to her mouth. After taking a sip, she whispered, “I’ll do it myself. Thank you, President Gardner.”
“You are still weak now. You were drenched in cold water, and the effects of the drug have just receded, so you should drink some soup to prevent a fever. Otherwise, you’ll be uncomfortable when you get sick again,” Colton said as he gave her another spoonful.
Hearing his words, Nicole stopped refusing and opened her mouth, slowly drinking the soup.
The ginger soup was a little spicy, and it slid down her throat. Once Nicole saw the bottom of the bowl, she parted her lips and said, “President Gardner, I’m still worried about my son. Can I give him a call?”
She had her phone on her earlier, and because she didn’t remember to take it out when she went into the water, it was probably spoiled by now.
Colton nodded and took out his cell phone, dialing Hayden’s phone number. He then turned on the speakerphone and placed the phone beside her bed.
“B*stard, what did you do to my mommy?” As soon as the call was connected, Hayden’s childish but energetic voice could be heard.
Nicole frowned. Although her face was pale, her voice was still strong. “Hayden, watch your mouth!”
As soon as Hayden realized that it was his mother, he went silent instantly before he called out pitifully, saying, “Mommy…”
As soon as she heard her son’s cute and whiny voice, Nicole couldn’t bear to scold him anymore. She sighed slightly and said, “I’m a little busy today, so I won’t be home tonight. Go to bed early and don’t you dare to play any video games.”
“Okay,” Hayden answered.
Seeing that Colton was still by her side, Nicole simply said a few words before hanging up.
