Chapter 1129 The Medical Base
Nicole nodded and sighed. "Yeah, it's been years since we last met." If it was not because Colton was infected with
the voodoo bug, she reckoned she would never return to Durobrivae.
"You ordered a full-body checkup for your husband. Is there a problem with him?" asked Gina.
Nicole lowered her gaze to the floor and, as though she remembered something, looked up at her and asked, "Gina,
have you heard about the voodoo bug before?"
Taken aback, Gina then furrowed her brows together tightly. "This is only recorded in the medical books and hasn't
appeared in reality. What happened, Nicole? Is your husband infected by it?"
Nicole nodded as worry shrouded her eyes and said with a bitter smile, "Colton's been a little weird lately, and I'm
worried about his health. I asked around and deduced he was infected by the voodoo bug." A sigh escaped her lips,

Furthermore, regular hospitals can't find any trace of it through tests. That's why I brought him here."
After hearing why she was here, the look of unease on Gina's face finally faded away, and she nodded, saying,
"Okay, I'll ask them to do a thorough scan."
Assured, Nicole nodded, and something else popped up in her mind. "Is my office in the base still available?" she
asked, changing the topic.
Gina froze and started to look awkward. After keeping her silence, she muttered, "Nicole…"
The hesitancy on her face struck Nicole as odd, so she asked, "What's wrong?"
Appearing embarrassed, she said, "Nicole, it's been so many years since you left the base, and it's such a waste to
keep the office unoccupied, so it's been repurposed. Why don't you use my office?"
Without thinking much about this, Nicole thought, She has a point. It's not surprising that the office is repurposed
when I've already left the place for almost eight years. "It's okay. I just want to look for information about the
voodoo bug," she said with a smile.
Feeling relieved at her answer, Gina returned her smile and said hastily, "I'll ask someone to show you to the library.
There are many records of the voodoo bug in there."
"Sure. Thanks for the help, Gina," Nicole said with a nod.
Then, Gina instructed someone next to her to lead Nicole to the library and breathed a sigh of relief after she left.
Next to her, Roxanna Miller, who had kept quiet the entire time, finally spoke after Nicole was out of earshot, "Ms.
Feuer, do you think she's back to take away the medical base?"
Her question hit Gina's sore spot, and her face fell, snapping. "That's nonsense! She has never cared about this
place and is not fit to manage it!"
Although White has left the medical base to Nicole, the person managing the base all these years is me! Gina
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthought. Why should I hand over the place I've poured years of effort into to someone else?
"Somehow, I don't think things are as simple as it seems with her sudden return." Roxanna continued to insist next
to her.
A frown started to form on Gina's face, and she contemplated for a while before saying, "Let's just observe the
situation first and see what exactly she's up to this time."
With down-casted eyes, Roxanna nodded and said, "Okay, but we better beware of her, Ms. Feuer. This woman isn't
as friendly as she appears."
Tired, Gina closed her eyes and nodded, saying in a low growl, "I got it. Say no more." After that, she turned and left
the spot.
She thought Nicole would never return to the base again, but she suddenly showed up today. If she was simply here
for that man's body checkup, then Gina had nothing to say. However, she would never allow it if she was here to
take back the medical base!
