Chapter 1171 Bone-Tired
Nathan sighed as he noticed the state Nicole was in. He reached out to pat her shoulder and said, "I know you're
anxious for results, but you can't do this to your body. If you keep this up, you'll fall sick before you save him."
Nicole shut her sore eyes as she hadn't slept well last night. She nodded and said with a feeble smile, "I know. Don't
worry, Nathan."
Right after she finished talking, she felt her stomach turn. Her hand went to her mouth trying to squash the urge to
vomit down, but she couldn't hold it back and retched beside the trash can. She hadn't eaten all day and all she
could throw up was bile.
Nathan couldn't bear to see how terribly she was pushing herself. So, he supported her frail body before warning
sternly, "Jennifer made food for you. You're going to eat them and get some rest. If you don't do those things, you

Even though Nathan sounded harsh, she knew he meant well. So, despite her worries about Colton, she also knew
that her health would only deteriorate if she pushed her body too hard.
She massaged her temple as she wondered what happened to her stamina. Recently, she felt that her energy
levels had dropped drastically as if she could faint any second.
"Alright. I'll take a break. Thank you for your concern, Mr. Zeller." She released a sigh before dragging her fatigued
body to the Zeller Residence with Nathan accompanying her along the way.
Nicole was about to go home after she had a simple meal. But Nathan noticed her utterly knackered state and
forced her to rest at his home.
Nicole didn't have the energy to decline and went into the guest room. She immediately fell into a deep slumber as
soon as her head hit the pillow as she was bone tired.
She slept until 1.00PM and woke up in a daze. Her eyes were half open as she remained on the bed for a while as
her mind slowly rebooted itself to life.
She muttered something under her breath before slowly sitting up. To make matters worse, her head felt heavy
after her nap. Then, she reached for her phone to find that it was already past 1.00PM.
Last night in the laboratory, she made considerable progress regarding her research about this particular voodoo
bug and recalled that the library in the medical base had some books on them.
Alas, as she remembered the letter she saw in Logan's study, she knew she had to make a trip to the science
academy.
When Gina was at the medical base, she would always exchange things in the base for money from the science
academy. So, Nicole was certain that the precious books were long gone.

Nicole endured the headache and got up to pour herself a glass of water before finally feeling better.
Even though she had a nap, her temple was still throbbing. Regardless, she was a woman on a mission. So, she
forced herself to calm down before getting ready to leave.
When she went downstairs, Nathan wasn't around and only Jennifer was there. Jennifer immediately caught sight of
her and gestured for her to sit down.
"Have some soup. You've totally messed up your circadian rhythm. You know that's not good for your body,"
Jennifer told her gently.
Nicole didn't refuse her kindness and picked up the spoon to eat.
The corn soup was a little sweet and suited her taste buds. Soon, she finished the whole bowl and rubbed her eyes
before turning around to look at Jennifer, "Mrs. Zeller, I want to go to the science academy."
Jennifer furrowed her brows at her statement and commented after some thought, "There's a celebration at the
academy today. It'll be crowded. You're not in the best of health…"
Nicole noticed Jennifer's hesitation and knew that the older woman was genuinely worried about her. So, she
uttered in a low voice, "I want to look for something there. It'll be easier to do it with the crowd."
