Chapter 1232 Pregnant
"How did it go, Colton? Was it smooth?" Nicole set aside her work and rushed to the door after learning that Colton
had arrived at the research center.
Roxanna followed behind, shaking her head helplessly as she looked at the somewhat joyful figure. Who knew how
Nicole would react if she knew Colton had brought a woman with him?
Upon seeing Colton's grim countenance, Nicole parted her lips to ask only to turn grim before speaking, for she
found Evelyn standing behind Colton.
"I don't know how she found me, Nicole, but she told me she's pregnant, and it happened when I was cursed,"
Colton said, lacking confidence. Even though he knew Nicole wouldn't be angry, his heart ached for her, and he
didn't know how to resolve the situation properly either.

ached so much she couldn't breathe. The air felt thin, as if it were taking her life away.
"Nicole..." Colton looked at Nicole with worry, standing helplessly in place.
"Come here, I'll check your pulse," said Nicole icily to Evelyn after taking a deep breath.
The matter couldn't be delayed any longer. First, they needed to know if the child was actually Colton's. There was
still a glimmer of hope.
Evelyn nodded gently, appearing aggrieved like a misbehaved child being lectured by an adult as she followed
silently behind Nicole.
On the other hand, Nicole never looked straight at Evelyn the entire time. The woman would stop at nothing to
achieve her goals. She had even colluded with the Yaels to curse Colton, disregarding his well-being entirely. Thus,
now, she didn't need to face Evelyn with any kindness.
Colton watched everything unfold, hoping that Nicole could determine the true timing of Evelyn's pregnancy and
confirm it wasn't when he was cursed.
Nicole placed her hand on Evelyn's wrist and couldn't help but feel nervous. She hoped Evelyn was lying to them.
However, an ominous feeling quickly overcame her when she caught Evelyn's somewhat victorious smug.
Wait, Evelyn wouldn't let us examine her without putting in even the slightest bit of a fight if she was lying. That can
only mean…
Nicole turned grim at that. Despite having figured out the result, she still examined Evelyn's pulse properly.
Time ticked away, and Colton waited by the side anxiously. He dared not rush or disturb the examination, for
rushing and making noise were the last things one should do during a pulse examination.
Nicole, now beyond grim, slowly removed her hand. The result devastated her, making it difficult for her to accept.
"So, Nicole, is it true?" Colton asked, approaching Nicole urgently, gripping her shoulder.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"She's telling the truth," she replied with a hoarse voice, as she didn't want to believe it and even feared it.
Colton was stupefied, and he gradually released Nicole. He didn't know how to face her anymore. Even if Nicole
didn't mind it, he did. He couldn't get over it.
"I've been telling you the truth this whole time, Colton. You believe me now, don't you?" Evelyn pleaded, grabbing
Colton's arm, her eyes red-rimmed. Even so, the smile at the corner of her eyes was still visible.
"I…" Colton parted his lips, uttering only a single word before trailing off. He was too ashamed to stay here any
longer.
"Roxanna, let's keep Miss Wrenn at the research center. She's pregnant, so take good care of her and make sure
nothing goes wrong." Nicole took a deep breath, trying her best to calm her emotions, and spoke in a composed
tone.
Roxanna hesitated. She didn't want to oblige, but upon seeing Nicole's gaze, she immediately swallowed her pride
and begrudgingly responded, "Understood. Please come with me, Miss Wrenn."
Evelyn gazed at Colton, reluctant to leave him, but seeing that he had nothing to say to her, she left with Roxanna
with her head lowered.
