Right Person, Wrong Time

Chapter 1183 How Dare You

Ignoring Evelyn, she took out a silver needle and jabbed it into Colton's neck right away. Soon after that, Colton passed out.

Evelyn's face fell when she saw what Nicole was doing. Just when she wanted to step forward and say something, she saw Nicole turn toward Rita and say, "Grandma, can I ask a favor of you? Please help keep an eye on Evelyn and don't let her leave the Gould Residence."

In an instant, Evelyn's face darkened. Glaring fixedly at Nicole, she swore through clenched teeth, "How dare you, Nicole!"

Before her voice could fade, Rita called a pair of big, burly men over. Pointing at Evelyn, she ordered, "Take her back to her room and keep watch on her. Also, get a maid to stay close to her and take care of her around the clock."

Evelyn's expression froze instantly. Not expecting that Rita would really hold her captive, she glared resentfully at Nicole and growled, "Nicole, what are you doing?! I'm the one Colton loves now, and he can't be parted from me anymore. You'll only harm him by doing this!"

All her rants were to no avail, though. Before she could say another word, she was dragged away by the burly men.

Rita knew that Nicole had studied under White and was thus highly skilled in medicine. After darting a glance at the unconscious Colton with a frown, she turned to look at Nicole, asking, "What are you going to do?"

Nicole pursed her lips for a moment. She replied flatly, "I'll operate on him myself."

Having listened to most of Nicole's conversation with Evelyn just now, Rita knew Colton had only ended up like this because of the voodoo bug. Having lived for a long time, she was rich in experience and had more or less heard of almost everything, so it went without saying that she knew about the dangers of these bugs. "I've heard of this voodoo bug before, and they say it's very harmful to the human body. Nicole, you…" she said, hesitating to finish her sentence.

A faint smile appeared on Nicole's face. She replied with studied casualness, "Don't worry, Grandma. I've studied under Master White, so I know how to take care of this, of course. It's child's play for me."

Rita couldn't help feeling that there was more to it than it seemed. If this bug can really be dealt with easily, then why must she come all the way back to Gould Residence? However, seeing how determined Nicole looked, she didn't say another word, knowing that her advice wouldn't have much of an effect on her. "Okay. I know a few doctors who have studied this, so I'll phone them to come over. Don't say no to this." After all, she was worried about Nicole and felt uncomfortable leaving her alone.

Noticing Rita's concern for her, Nicole didn't reject her good intentions, so she nodded and agreed.

Rita then had Colton carried away. Naturally, as a family that was rich and powerful for generations, the Goulds had their own medical base. It wasn't large, but it had everything that was needed, which was enough for Nicole.

Rita contacted several doctors who specialized in this area and had them come over, but it would take a few hours for them to arrive.

A pained look flickered across Nicole's eyes as she watched Colton lie unconscious in bed. The man looked much paler than when they last met just a few days ago; his eyes were sunken, and there were dark circles under them. It was obvious that he hadn't groomed himself over the last few days. His chin was covered in stubble, making him look much more dispirited than usual. She recalled how he had looked like during their previous meeting, and it made her heart ache to see how he now looked like an empty shell without a soul.

Heaving a soft sigh, she pulled out the silver needle in his neck. She had to lure the voodoo bug out of Colton's body as soon as possible. Otherwise, the bug would get into his heart over time, upon which he might be beyond cure. Letting out a faint breath, she looked at the man whose eyes were closed. Her hand reached closer and closer until it touched his face. After caressing it tenderly for a moment, she finally pulled herself together. She couldn't wait anymore; she had no choice but to act quickly.
