Chapter 1145 A Ticking Bomb
As the bug began to take effect, Colton felt his vision slowly getting blurry. He couldn't help but lean closer to
Evelyn.
Watching him leaning closer to herself, Evelyn couldn't contain the urge to reach out her hand to catch him. Her
hand almost touched his cheek, but a voice at the door interrupted her.
"What are you doing here?!"
Evelyn stopped short in the air and turned toward the source of the voice, only to see that Nicole was standing
outside the room.
Nicole's eyes had turned scarlet from rage as her gaze fixed on the hand that almost landed on Colton's face. I'll
cut her hands off!
Her voice had managed to snap Colton out of his trance, and he winced in pain after his senses returned to him.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNicole approached them upon noticing his discomfort. Then, she pulled Evelyn off him and dragged her out of the
room.
Nicole's interruption angered Evelyn. Once the two were in the corridor, Evelyn swatted the other woman's hand
away. She accused Nicole with a frown between her brows, "What do you want, Nicole?"
Nicole watched her coldly. The shadow that fell on her face darkened her expression. She started in a low voice,
"Evelyn, stay away from Colton."
Evelyn shot her a smile of mockery. "It's him who can't live without me now, Nicole. Stop being selfish. You should
leave him to me for his sake."
Nicole found Evelyn's words ridiculous and almost laughed at Evelyn's attitude. This woman is selfish like always.
"Evelyn, do you know that the love bug would cause the host to hallucinate and weaken the immune system?
There's a possibility that it would harm his brain," Nicole sternly berated.
However, Evelyn's face showed no hint of regret. Instead, she tipped her chin haughtily.
"It's not my fault! All you need to do is give Colton to me, and the voodoo bug in his body will never harm him.
Screw you, Nicole! You keep telling people that you care about Colton. If that's the case, why are you keeping him
to yourself? You should let me be with him instead!"
Evelyn's face contorted as lunatic ideas filled her mind. Seeing no point in talking some sense into her, Nicole
suppressed the anger boiling within her and turned to the waiting security guard. "This is a medical base. An
outsider is not allowed inside the facility."
The security guard didn't dare to tell her that it was Gina's order to let Evelyn in. Therefore, he apologized, "I'm
sorry, Miss Anderson. I thought she was an employee here."
Nicole realized her words had come out strong, so she took a deep breath and exhaled, keeping her tone calm as
she said, "Next time, remember not to let any outsider into the medical base, especially her. Now, throw her out."
Lately, she had been researching the voodoo bug and had discovered it obtained nutrition from blood. Therefore,
the bug in Colton's body would always react to Evelyn whenever she was nearby. For the time being, it was best to
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmprohibit that woman from coming close to Colton.
Nicole succeeded in using the Dragon's Spine to create a cure to control the poison in his body. However, the
Dragon's Spine was useless when Evelyn was around.
Therefore, all she could do was prohibit Evelyn from entering the medical base and getting near Colton.
However, she didn't expect Evelyn to sneak into the medical base and almost made a move on Colton.
It would have been disastrous if I didn't make it in time.
Nicole returned to the room after chasing Evelyn off. Colton was curling up on the bed in pain. She immediately
took the medicine and helped him swallow it.
Moments after Colton took the medicine, his cheeks regained their colors. The voodoo bug had been a torture to
his mind and body over the last few days.
He looked up at the worried woman and soothed her, "I'm fine, Nicky. Don't worry about me."
Tears welled up in her eyes. Everything was fine until it went wrong at some point. The voodoo bug in his body is a
ticking bomb. I need to deal with it as soon as possible, or it will take him away from me one day.
She could never imagine a life without Colton.
