Chapter 1241 Almost Succeeded
"There's a bomb around his waist, Colton!"
The moment Nicole finished speaking, she charged forward and grabbed Logan's hands.
Even though Logan was old and frail, it was still difficult for the woman to subdue him.
While trying to protect her belly, she exerted herself to restrain the older man so that he wouldn't be able to
detonate the bomb.
Without hesitation, Colton dashed forward to help her out.
Logan struggled hard to press the button, but before he could succeed, Colton stopped him in time and dismantled
the bomb.
"Don't move!"
The police arrived and pointed their pistols at Logan, who fell into a dazed state, not knowing what to do. He wasn't
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtafraid of death. However, since he knew he couldn't kill himself at this point, he had no choice but to submit to fate.
"Nicole."
After the police took over the older man, Colton supported Nicole's weight and asked worriedly, "Are you alright?
Does it hurt anywhere?"
Nicole shook her head and subconsciously covered her belly. Fortunately, Colton had given her a helping hand in
time, which made it impossible for Logan to harm the child.
As she recalled everything, she was still reeling from the shock. She shook her head again and said, "I'm fine. Don't
worry."
At that, Colton pulled her into his embrace and he was glad that the woman was fine.
"Don't worry, Mr. Gardner. We'll keep an eye on the culprit. Will you and Miss Anderson please head to the police
station to give an account of what happened?" A police officer approached them with an intercom. The person on
the other end of the line seemed to be saying something.
Colton nodded while embracing Nicole. "My wife must be in shock. Can we go over to the police station at a later
time?"
After hearing that, the police officer seemed to be in a dilemma. The other police officers were busy, so he couldn't
give him an answer at that point.
"I'm fine, Colton. It won't take us much time to give an account," Nicole said gently while grabbing the man's arms.
She was glad that the child and Colton were safe. Moreover, she wasn't traumatized or anything. As such, they had
to cooperate with the police.
Colton was still worried as he subconsciously hugged the woman tighter as though trying to become one with her.
The notion of possibly losing the woman forever still terrified him.
"Alright, please come with me, Mr. Gardner and Miss Anderson." The police officer nodded in surprise and flashed a
smile at Nicole before turning around to leave.
There was no doubt Nicole had saved him a lot of trouble. Not only would they avoid being reprimanded by their
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmhigher-ups, but they also didn't need to slow down the investigation. It was the perfect outcome for the police.
Colton supported Nicole's weight as they entered the police car. Suddenly thinking of something, he said, "Tell
Roxanna you're safe. When Old Mr. Yael sent me a message, I wasn't sure if the kidnapping was true, so I went to
the medical base for confirmation. As such, Roxanna is aware that you were kidnapped."
Nicole looked at the man in shock. When she realized the problem, she nodded. "Sure. My phone was destroyed by
Old Mr. Yael. Please lend me your phone. I remember her contact number."
While waiting for Colton's arrival earlier, Logan had been talking to Nicole. All of a sudden, he snatched her phone
away and hurled it to the ground, causing it to break apart.
At the thought of this, Nicole let out a helpless sigh. It seemed that she had to purchase a new phone, but she
wasn't sure if she could retrieve the backups from her old phone.
As Colton looked at Logan in the distance, he was still worried. The next moment, he approached the older man.
Since Logan's hands were cuffed, he could only straighten up and bellow, "Colton, don't ever think that the
Gardners will be unrivaled just because the Yaels are no longer around!"
Colton wasn't bothered by the older man's words. He stared fixedly at Logan and questioned, "I don't care what you
do to me, but why did you kidnap Nicole? What benefits would it bring you?"
He didn't dare imagine the state Nicole would've ended up in if Logan had succeeded.
