Chapter 1187 Amnesia
Not bothering to explain any further, Mrs. Collins sat in the chair without saying a word, leaving Evelyn with no
choice but to worry helplessly at the moment.
Evelyn was at the end of her rope. There was no way she could run away under Mrs. Collins' very nose. She was
really afraid that Nicole would cure Colton. Should that come to pass, everything she had previously done would be
in vain.
Meanwhile, in the operating room…
Luckily, Nicole had sealed all her acupoints with a silver needle beforehand to prevent the voodoo bug from
entering her circulatory system. Otherwise, no one would've been able to save her.
The elderly doctor sealed the voodoo bug's location with a silver needle before operating on it to take out the bug.
The bug was tiny; after living in the human body for such a long time, it only managed to grow to the size of about
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtone-third of a fingernail. Therefore, it could be removed directly without having to make a big incision. After taking
out the bug, he finally pulled out the silver needle on Nicole.
When the elderly doctor came out, Rita asked him nervously, "Doctor, h-how is my granddaughter doing now?"
The elderly doctor replied in a grave voice, "Miss Anderson is fine already, but she didn't pass out because of the
voodoo bug alone. In part, it was also because she was exhausted from her pregnancy, so she needs a good rest."
Hearing that she was fine, Rita finally heaved a sigh of relief. She nodded and thanked in a grave voice, "Thank you
so much, doctor."
The Goulds were never short of money, and Nicole's surgery was merely a minimally invasive one, so she didn't
suffer from a major wound. After the surgery, she was immediately escorted back to Gould Residence, though she
was now pregnant and had to be well taken care of.
Rita also brought Colton back to Gould Residence. Knowing that the man had only become like this because he had
been infected with the voodoo bug by Evelyn, Rita softened her attitude toward him.
Colton came around sooner than Nicole did. He woke up with a severe headache; his head hurt so much as though
it were splitting. He couldn't help but let out a moan of pain while burying his head in his hands with a deep frown.
Seeing him regain consciousness, the doctor looking after him immediately asked, "Mr. Gardner, is something ailing
you?"
Colton kept holding his head. He replied in a husky voice, "My head hurts. It hurts a lot, like there's something
inside."
The doctor hurriedly examined him, but he didn't find any symptoms.
On the other hand, Colton's head stopped hurting after a while, and his frown cleared slightly. He looked around
curiously, asking, "Where am I?"
"This is the Gould Residence," replied the doctor. Seeing that the man was no longer in pain, he pressed the bell to
call Siobhan over.
Siobhan looked at the man on his sickbed. He looked rather gaunt, wearing a white hospital gown that the maids
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmhad dressed him in. His good-looking face looked haggard and as white as a sheet. At a glance, he simply looked
more than ten years older.
Hearing the sound she made, Colton turned his head slightly toward it, and his gaze happened to fall on her. Raising
an eyebrow, he called out softly, "Madam Gould, w-why am I here?" He couldn't remember anything about how he
had come to Gould Residence. He was missing a key piece of memory, as though his head had been plugged up
with something.
Seeing the confusion written all over his face, Siobhan explained, "You got infected with a voodoo bug, but Nicole
has helped you get rid of it now. You're still rather weak, so you should take a good rest. I've informed the Gardners,
so they'll probably be here by tonight." After all, this was about Colton, so it was better to let the Gardners know
about this.
Colton could understand every word Siobhan said, but the name she mentioned made him frown. A hint of
puzzlement flickered across his eyes. He turned to look at her, asking, "Madam Gould, who is… Nicole?"
Siobhan froze at his question. A hint of astonishment flashed across her eyes. Looking at the man, she moved her
lips for a moment to suppress her shock. "Don't you know Nicole?"
