Chapter 248 Pressing It Against Her
Queenie took a step forward and was about to continue putting up a fight to stop Nicole when the older of the two
suddenly slapped her across the face.
Needless to say, Queenie was stunned when she was unexpectedly hit by Nicole.
She covered her cheek with one hand and after she calmed down, she began to see red. That was when she
launched herself like a lunatic at Nicole.
However, Nicole wasn’t going to sit back and let herself get attacked. Seeing Queenie come toward her, she
stretched out her leg and landed a perfect kick on her knee.
The jolt of pain instantly sent Queenie sprawling on the floor like a toad.
Despite how pathetic Queenie looked, Nicole didn’t bother sparing her another glance before she turned around

Colton had already fallen into a semi-conscious state by the time she sat in the driver’s seat. Unlike his pale lips, his
cheeks were as red as a tomato.
The first person she thought about then was Harvey. After all, Harvey was the one who gave her the antidote when
she was in a similar predicament.
Given that this was Queenie’s last chance, Queenie wanted to continue stopping her sister. However, Nicole didn’t
seem to care about the fact that Queenie was in front of the car as she stepped on the gas. It was as though Nicole
wanted her dead.
In the end, Queenie relented by stepping aside.
She could only hatefully look on as the car drove off. All of a sudden, she could taste iron in her mouth. She forced
herself to swallow it down as she stood there gnashing her teeth. “Nicole Anderson, it is you again! Why are you
clinging onto me like a damn ghost?! You have been sabotaging my plans again and again!”
At the same time, Nicole was making a call to Harvey as she drove.
“Nicole?” He greeted her in a surprised and somewhat prying tone. “Do you need me for something?”
Nicole didn’t beat around the bush and she got straight to the point. “Come to Colton’s house. It is the house you
came to before. And bring the medicine from last time.”
Harvey took a while to comprehend what she was saying, but when he finally understood what she meant, he
asked, “Who got drugged this time?”
“It’s Colton,” Nicole muttered with her lips pursed.
Upon hearing that, Harvey felt speechless. He couldn’t help but find Nicole and Colton an interesting duo. Nicole
was the one who was drugged last time, and Colton had asked him over to help her. The same thing was happening
again now; it was just that their roles were reversed.
Still, in order to make sure that Colton lived a happy life, Harvey felt he had the obligation to do as Nicole said.
He nodded and said without missing a beat, “Alright. I got it. I am out now, and it will take me about half an hour to
get to Colton’s place. Let him have a cold shower if it gets worse before I get there.”
Nicole finally felt more relieved after she informed Harvey about Colton’s condition.
She glanced sideways at Colton, and she realized that he was still conscious although he had his eyes closed. She
could also clearly see how the corners of his mouth were constantly tight.
He must be grinding his teeth to push back the temperature rising in his body.
It took only about 10 minutes for her to drive to his house. After Nicole got out of the car and went to open the door

Now that she had experience having his body weight on her, she knew that it would be a difficult feat to carry him
all the way into the house.
Colton slowly opened his eyes as soon as he heard her voice, and she could see from his dark pupils that he was
holding back. “Yes.” He let out a guttural groan.
Hearing that, Nicole nodded and unbuckled his seatbelt before she reached out to carry him.
Even though Colton could still move, his body felt limp and he needed her support to walk.
She dragged him to the door, and after opening the door with the key she took from his pocket, she continued to
pull him to his room.
Halfway through it, she swiftly kicked off her high heels. It was already exhausting enough, having to carry such a
heavy man without the heels.
She only sighed in relief after she had safely placed him in his bed. As she stretched out her shoulders, she looked
at the semi-conscious man before she poked at him. “Do you feel okay now, President Gardner? I’ll bring you to the
bathroom if you are feeling worse than before.”
Colton slowly opened his eyes when he heard her voice. His first instinct when he saw the vague figure in front of
him was to reach out, and when he did, he rolled the person underneath him before he pressed her down.
