Right Person, Wrong Time novel Chapter 391

Chapter 391 Douglas’ Story

Bryan eventually gave in to Queenie, keeping his head down slightly. “Alright, if you could help me secure the deal with F&R Enterprise from Gardner Corporation, I’ll pay you the money you want!”

Queenie put on a malicious smirk before she stood up and looked at Bryan. “You’re too kind, Mr. Kohlberg. I’ll be sure to help you.” Colton! I’m not to blame for my decision to do this to you. In fact, you have no one else to blame but yourself for what’s coming to you. If you hadn’t treated me coldly in the past five years, the thought of betraying you wouldn’t even have crossed my mind. Thus, this is all your fault, Colton!

…

Meanwhile, Nicole returned home after she was done meeting Emily. When she headed upstairs, she found Whitney crying in her room. At that moment, the latter was seen curling up in the bed, apparently sobbing. In the meantime, Nicole stood in front of the bed and gazed at the tearful lady, not knowing how to comfort her, as she swallowed the words forming at the tip of her tongue.

Soon, Whitney seemingly sensed someone’s presence in her room and showed herself from beneath the blanket. As soon as she saw Nicole, she stopped crying, but her obvious sobbing voice still gave her away. “Miss Nicole…”

The next second, Nicole stepped forward and approached Whitney. While it was the afternoon at that moment, the curtains, which were not drawn, allowed the bright sunlight to shine through the window. Thus, she was able to see Whitney’s red and tearful eyes clearly.

She then hugged Whitney’s head and gently rubbed it, as if she was a poor child. “I’m not going to ask you what happened, but you can cry all you want. It should help you feel better that way.”

As Nicole’s words seemingly hit her in the soft spot, Whitney wrapped her arms around the former and broke into tears. On the other hand, Nicole did the same thing, placing her hand on the back of Whitney’s head without saying a single word. It wasn’t until a few moments later that Whitney finally looked up and revealed her red and swollen eyes as she looked like she had cried for a long time.

“Miss Nicole, Douglas and I…” She looked down a bit, pursing her lips before she managed to muster the courage and continued her story. “Douglas and I met each other in university before we became a couple…”

Judging from the expression on Whitney’s face, Nicole knew her suspicion was correct and continued to ask, “And? Did something happen subsequently?”

After all, when Nicole first saw Douglas, the man was in a terrible state. Even when he was admitted into the hospital by Emily, he still appeared to be dispirited, like he had no desire to live.

Not long after that, his condition worsened as he caught a high fever and even lacked the will to battle his illness. While the doctor told them that he would likely not make it, Douglas somehow recovered, having emerged victorious in the fight against his illness with Emily by his side.
