Chapter 364 Should Definitely Investigate
“Miss Nicole, Miss Julia, we are forever in your debt for saving Old Mr. Benedict’s life. I promise you that I will dig
into the case. But now, you two have to rest. We’ll talk about this later.”
Nicole was indeed well spent and considerably burned-out, so she nodded in agreement. “Although Old Mr. Benedict
is okay now, it’s not a guarantee because of that episode. Richard is an adept doctor, and he should be able to keep
everything under control.”
After a pause, she continued, “Someone with medical knowledge will have to take turns looking after Old Mr.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBenedict for the next forty-eight hours. If nothing bad happens within this period, he’ll be out of danger.”
When he saw how pale Nicole looked, Colton pulled her arm closer to him and carried her bridal style.
Nicole reflexively struggled when she was caught off guard, but Colton naturally wouldn’t give her the chance to do
so. He whispered, “Don’t move. You’re still exhausted, so I’ll take you upstairs to rest. You can only catch the
perpetrator after you’re well-rested.”
Indeed, she was exhausted, and her legs were still wobbly. Overusing her brain made her feel burned out. After all,
the surgery lasted way too long, and nearly all her focus had been on Benedict with zero distractions.
As self-conscious as Nicole was, she still acquiesced to Colton’s decision to carry her upstairs.
On the other hand, Julia didn’t get as nice of a treatment, for Richard was currently with Benedict. Hence, she could
only go upstairs to rest with the help of the Gardners’ servants.
Meanwhile, Colton returned downstairs after sending Nicole to recover in a room.
Since Benedict had just undergone surgery, no one disturbed him and instead remained in the living room, looking
grim as they chewed on Nicole’s words.
When he saw that Colton had returned, Benjamin turned to him and asked, “What do you think about this?”

Likewise, Colton looked grim as he stood by the couch. His family was where he drew the line, and anyone who
dared lay a finger on them would be doomed to death.
“There’s no reason for Nicole to lie to us, and something must’ve happened to Grandpa. Pull up the surveillance
cameras in the house. We should investigate if this is targeted toward Nicole or our family.”
Either way, he wouldn’t show that person mercy.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOlivia was relatively silent. She disdained Nicole, but her impression of the woman changed now that she had saved
her father’s life.
Pierre was the only stranger in this residence, and everyone who was working in Gardner Residence had been
around for a long time. In other words, there was no way they would betray the Gardners.
However, all accusations relied on evidence. Pierre might not be well-reputed, but he was still notable in the
medical community. They couldn’t do anything about Pierre if they didn’t have solid evidence.
“Alright, I’ll leave this to you.” Benjamin stood up.
They hadn’t slept a wink since Nicole commenced the surgery, and a weight was lifted off their shoulders after
knowing the surgery was a success. They no longer felt as awful as they had been earlier.
“Let’s all get some rest. We can’t afford to stay awake like this when we’re all getting on in years. Imagine if all of
us collapse before Dad wakes up. Someone is keeping an eye on him, and I’m sure we’ll be notified if anything
happens.”
After knowing that Benedict was fine, they all could rest with peace of mind.
Olivia nodded in agreement, for she was exhausted after staying awake for so long. “I’m still worried about Dad. I’ll
stay here for a few days and leave when he’s doing better.”
