Chapter 983 They’re Here
On the other hand, Nicole's voice was gloomy. A long time passed before she spoke. "He was poisoned by
somebody. We're currently searching for the culprit. Fortunately, he's doing fine. The doctor has examined him and
confirmed that his life is not in danger."
Zachary responded as though nothing had happened between them in the past. He was just as gentle and
considerate as before.
"Okay. I'm glad he's doing fine. It just so happens that I will be returning to the country for a cooperative
partnership deal in a few days. You can tell me the exact details when I'm back. I will also visit Hayden while I'm
back."
For a moment, she was at a loss for words. She suddenly had no idea how she should respond to him.
Clearing her throat, she tried to speak only for her words to become stuck in her throat. In the end, she only
managed to force out a single word. "Okay."
After Zachary finished speaking, he did not add anything else and hung up immediately.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNicole stared at the phone after the call ended, feeling rather dazed. It was not until a knock sounded from outside
the door that she was relieved from her thoughts.
When Colton opened the door, he was greeted by the sight of Nicole sitting on the bed and staring at the phone in a
daze. Moreover, her expression seemed full of worry.
"What's wrong? Did something happen?" His voice dragged her thoughts back to the present.
Nicole had been in such a daze that she didn't even notice him entering the room. Thus, she quickly composed her
expression and shook her head. "It's nothing."
He did not pursue the matter further and simply softly said, "I've finished cooking. Do you want to come downstairs
to eat?"
She nodded. Casually stuffing her phone into her pocket, she followed him downstairs.
Downstairs, at the dining table, there were several exquisite dishes on the table. Nicole could barely believe that
Colton could work so quickly. Less than an hour had passed since she made her request earlier.
"Did you order these dishes from the restaurant?" she asked suspiciously.
"I made them. Have a taste." Colton picked up a piece of the sauerkraut fish and placed it on her plate.
She turned sideways and glanced at the dirty kitchen. The kitchen looked like a storm had taken place inside.
Nevertheless, the dishes in front of her looked delicious and tasty.
Picking up her cutlery, she quickly took a bite of the sauerkraut fish. The sour and spicy flavor immediately flooded
her mouth so strongly that she almost choked. However, the overbearing taste was exactly what she craved right
now.
Her eyes brightened, and she immediately began wolfing down her food. She had been craving various spicy and
sour dishes recently.
When he saw her eating with such great gusto, the corners of his mouth subconsciously lifted into a smile. Just
looking at her seemed to put him in a better mood for some reason.
He placed more food on her plate and asked, "Is it good?"
She was generous with her praise. Nodding vigorously, she happily declared, "It's delicious."
His mood lifted when he heard her praise, and he continuously placed more food on her plate.
All of a sudden, she noticed that he was not eating any of the food. She questioned him with a frown on her face,
"Why aren't you eating?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe lowered his head and glanced at the dishes on the table that were either spicy or sour. To be honest, he had
tasted the dishes while making them. He could not say that they tasted particularly good. After all, the taste of
these dishes was very strong and extremely sour. The chilis might have added some flavor, but the taste of vinegar
was much stronger.
"I ate earlier. Go ahead and eat without me." He quickly came up with a random reason.
She did not suspect his words and simply lowered her head to focus on her food once more.
When she finished eating, she received a phone call from Roger. "Boss, the people from Undercity have arrived
within the country."
As soon as Nicole heard the word 'Undercity', she instantly snapped to attention. Her hand subconsciously tightened
on her phone, but her voice became calm. "Instruct Roy to follow them carefully but be careful not to expose
himself. Once they find the people they are looking for, bring them back to me immediately!"
For some reason, her heart seemed to tremble uncontrollably at the thought that she would finally uncover the
person who poisoned and harmed Hayden.
"Okay. Boss, please don't worry about these matters since you're not feeling well today. I will inform that bas...
Colton if something happens." Halfway through his speech, Roger forcefully changed his words. It was probably for
her sake.
