Chapter 74 Sister-In-Law

As Colton sat on the bed and listened to the drizzling sound of water in the bathroom, his eyes slowly darkened.

“You brat, which girl did you have your eyes on this time that you went so far as to drug her? What a monster!” The male newcomer’s energetic voice entered the room before him. Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

When Colton heard Harvey’s voice, his face darkened a little bit. He stood up from the head of the bed and saw Harvey turning in from the outside. He said in an unfriendly tone, “If you spew nonsense again, I’ll throw you down from the third floor!”

Harvey was successfully tricked by Colton. He shut his mouth and muttered in a low voice, “How old are you? Can’t you take a few jokes? Where’s the patient?”

Colton stepped forward and walked to the bathroom. He stretched out his hand and knocked on the door. “Miss Nicole, the doctor’s here.”

Nicole, who was in the bathroom, was currently immersed in water. The water from the bathtub was at her neck.

However, perhaps because too much time had passed, she was a little delirious. Cold water was pouring down from the top of her head to her body, but she still couldn’t suppress the heat that was churning in her body.

Even her breaths were hot.

Vaguely, she heard Colton’s voice and raised her hand, only to find that her whole body had gone weak. Hence, she could only answer feebly with her eyes lowered, “I can’t get up…”

Harvey heard a soft female voice coming from the bathroom, but he only thought that it was a rare occasion. He hadn’t expected a clueless man like Colton to actually bring a woman home.

He craned his neck with the intention to lean over to take a look, but Colton pulled him away with one hand, accompanied by a warning. “If you still want to keep your eyes, you better look away.”

His words worked well. After all, Colton had always been a man of his words.

Because of that, Harvey was discouraged and shrank back, returning to the bedside where he turned his head away.

Colton opened the door and went in, and found that Nicole’s condition was worsening by the second. She was lying limply in the bathtub as if she were boneless.

Fortunately, she still had a bit of her reason left and knew to put her head on the edge of the bathtub so that she wouldn’t drown.

The water in the bathtub had already overflowed, and her clothes and pants were completely drenched and clinging to her body.

Her partly visible curves were now standing out after being soaked in the cold water.

Colton took a towel and drained the water in the bathtub. Then, he wrapped Nicole’s wet body with the towel and carried her in his arms.

Nicole was currently extremely weak. After she was picked up, her head lolled onto his chest, her wet, damp hair leaving a watermark on it.

However, Colton wasn’t disgusted, and walked out with her in his arms.

Harvey, who was sitting outside, turned his head after hearing the noise behind him. Immediately, he saw the wet person in Colton’s arms and called out in surprise, “Nicole?”

After seeing that the person in his arms was Nicole, Harvey’s originally careless expression immediately became serious. “Is her condition that bad now?” He hurriedly stepped forward to check. Even after soaking in cold water for such a long time, her skin was still red.

“Yeah, come and take a look.” Colton carefully placed Nicole on the bed.

Even though her body was still wet, he directly placed her on the bed without hesitation.

The dark-colored sheets became darker after they were drenched in water.

“Why is my sister-in-law drugged, and why is she here?” Harvey asked anxiously. If his brother knew, he would definitely be worried.

“Sister-in-law?” Colton’s tone turned unfriendly as he narrowed his long eyes.

“Yes, my brother’s future wife,” Harvey said as he began to inspect Nicole. This drug’s a strong one. Until now, the symptoms aren’t showing any signs of subsiding. If anything, they’re becoming worse.

Seeing that Harvey was checking on her, Colton didn’t press him for answers and stood stiffly by the side while watching them.

Currently, Nicole’s whole face was flushed, and her eyelids were lowered, making her unable to see the person in front of her clearly. But she vaguely heard someone calling her sister-in-law. If her guess was right, it was probably Harvey, because only he would call her that.

Harvey Yates was Zachary Yates’ half-brother, but the relationship between the two brothers was extremely good. Because Harvey didn’t want to compete for his family’s property, he ran away from

home on a certain dark and windy night…
