Chapter 1268 Nicole Is Still Alive

"What are you trying to say?" Evelyn remained alert, for she knew a man like Ryan would only approach her with a

purpose in mind. Now that he was here, it meant he had a new idea, and this new idea required her assistance.

"What I want is fairly easy. I want you to head to the research center tomorrow and verify if Nicole is still alive."

Ryan lazily rose to his feet and patted away the dust on his body.

"What?" Evelyn frowned slightly. Although she did plan on visiting Nicole the next day, she and Ryan had different

purposes, so would she be harming Colton if she agreed to Ryan's request?

"I know what you're worried about. Don't worry, I won't harm Colton." Ryan smiled disdainfully and walked past

Evelyn while leisurely waving his hand as he left.

Then, Evelyn turned around to watch the gradually disappearing figure, feeling conflicted about what to do.

"What should we do? It's been half a month, and Nicole's health is constantly deteriorating. Even the tonic from

before doesn't seem to work anymore. If this continues, would Nicole…"

The following day, Chloe stood to the side, frowning. She had tried all sorts of ways but could not find a cure.

Besides that, she still had no luck in contacting Mr. Lloyd's secretary.

"Roxanna, a woman calling herself Evelyn Wrenn wants to meet Miss Anderson."

Upon hearing that, Roxanna became furious as she wondered what Evelyn was up to.

"What's the matter?" Chloe had been immersed in her thoughts and noticed that Roxanna's expression seemed

slightly off.

After glancing at Chloe, Roxanna quickly turned around and left without saying anything. However, Chloe knew

something must have happened for Roxanna to behave this way.

Soon, Roxanna stormed into the reception area and saw the visibly pregnant Evelyn sitting on the couch. Even

though Roxanna slowed her pace, she was still pissed. "Why are you here?"

With her hand supporting her belly, Evelyn slowly rose to her feet. She was surprised to see Roxanna and

instinctively looked around to look for Nicole, but she didn't spot the latter after scanning her surroundings. "I… I've

come to look for Nicole. How is she?" Evelyn smiled awkwardly while asking.

Roxanna rudely rebuked, "Her condition has nothing to do with you. You shouldn't be moving about when you're so

pregnant."

Disregarding Roxanna's attitude, Evelyn observed the decor around the room and barely managed to smile. "She

must be doing well, right? The decor in this room might be different if she had passed."

Roxanna's pupils instantly contracted to the maximum as she stared at Evelyn in disbelief. "What nonsense are you

talking about? Nicole's doing fine. How could she have passed away?"

That reply surprised Evelyn as she did not expect Nicole to have not told the people here that she had been planted

with a voodoo bug. However, that was a good thing for Evelyn; it would be easier to get news about Nicole.

When Roxanna saw Evelyn still not responding to her question, she could not help but feel anxious. If Evelyn knew

about Nicole's critical condition, did Colton know as well?

Seeing that she had received the answer she wanted, Evelyn decided against arguing with Roxanna about useless

things. "I want to see her."

"What?" Roxanna thought she had misheard the woman and subconsciously rejected her, saying, "No. Nicole is not

seeing anyone right now."

"I have something very important to tell her. I think she would want to know." Evelyn's tone was very sincere as she

stared firmly at Roxanna.
