Chapter 1184 Luring Out the Voodoo Bug
After getting all the things she needed, Nicole put on protective clothing and started to operate on him. She knew
Rita was concerned about her and wanted to have other doctors assist her, but voodoo bugs were bizarre
creatures. Even if other doctors were present, they probably wouldn't be of much help either.
She tied Colton's hands and feet for fear of him struggling. After getting everything started, she began to perform
acupuncture on him according to her memory. To insert the golden needle into his acupoint, she had to first use
silver needles to seal his circulatory system so that the voodoo bug could be forced out as soon as she inserted the
golden needle.
In his early years, White had started out as an alternative medicine practitioner, so Nicole was most proficient in
acupuncture skills during her apprenticeship with him. Therefore, she already knew the positions of all the

It took her about half an hour to seal all the acupoints on Colton's body. As she looked at the still-unconscious man,
a hint of yearning flickered across her eyes. It was recorded in medical books that if the voodoo bug were to be
transferred to a different host, the new host might die instantly as a result. She had already come up with a way of
dealing with this, but she dared not be 100 percent sure that she would be alright. And besides, Colton had been
infected with the bug for such a long time; no one knew what would happen to him after the bug left his body.
Due to Evelyn's selfish act of feeding Colton blood to lure the voodoo bug, the bug had grown faster than normal in
his body, causing him to enter into such a state earlier than he was supposed to. The medical books didn't contain
any detailed records of such a case, nor did they mention if he would be left with any complications after regaining
consciousness.
Nicole was somewhat afraid to think about it, but her hands moved with great dexterity. Taking out a scalpel, she
made a small cut on Colton's wrist before proceeding to make a cut on her hand. Her eyes darkened for a moment
as she watched the man lie in bed. Then, she pressed the emergency button beside his bed. Once she pressed this,
someone would enter in ten minutes. Whatever the outcome will be, somebody's going to clean this up. I don't want
to die. I want to be with Colton and Hayden.
She slowly let out a breath and took a 12-inch long golden needle out of her purse. Then, focusing her eyes on the
acupoint, she thrust the needle into it with all her might. This, coupled with the fragrance of the heated herbs in the
air around them, soon caused the voodoo bug in Colton's arm to start squirming. It was forced out of his system,
but since there was no blood to lure it out, it merely squirmed around, unwilling to leave its host.
Nicole wasted no time either. Taking a needle, she sealed all her acupoints before moving her wound closer to
Colton's.
Just as she expected, the voodoo bug instantly came alive at the scent of blood. Moving at great speed, it quickly
emerged from under Colton's skin. Then, before she knew it, the bug entered her body.
Nicole only felt a prick in her wound, right after which she saw a small lump moving up her arm. She knitted her

soon as it tried to rush into her system, so it had no choice but to get stuck midway. It wanted to turn back, only to
find there was no way for it to return.
Just when Nicole was about to heave a sigh of relief, she suddenly felt a wave of nausea in her stomach. She
staggered for a moment and nearly fell; luckily, she swiftly clung to the edge of the bed for support. This voodoo
bug is already giving me such symptoms by just entering my body. If it really gets into my insides, I'm sure I'll die on
the spot. Looking down at the still-unconscious Colton, she could no longer fend off the darkness enveloping her.
Her legs gave out, and she collapsed onto the floor.
Not long after that, a sudden flurry of movement could be heard outside the room. Soon, the door was opened, and
Rita was helped in by Siobhan. As soon as they came in, they saw Nicole lying unconscious on the floor.
Letting out a gasp nervously, Rita immediately said to those around her, "G-Go check on her, you guys! See what's
going on with Nicole!"
