Chapter 1131 Voodoo Outbreak

It was late at night.

The two of them were staying at the research center, where the wind outside was howling, and the rainwas relentlessly pounding against the windows.

Nicole and Colton slept in each other's embrace.

Everything seemed peaceful until he suddenly woke up from his deep sleep and abruptly sat up.

His sudden movement startled Nicole, who reached out in the dark to turn on the light. She turned tolook at Colton and asked in confusion, "What's wrong, Colton?"

However, Colton didn't look like he was fully awakened. With his eyes closed and his face contorted inpain as he hugged his head, he kept mumbling, "It hurts…"

Nicole worriedly took Colton's pulse, only to notice that it was irregular as if something was frenzyingthrough his body.

"Ah!!!" He suddenly opened his eyes wide and let out a scream.

Her eyes welled up with tears as she reached out and held Colton, anxiously asking, "Colton, are youalright?"

At this point, Colton's back was drenched in cold sweat as he sat at the edge of the bed, gasping forbreath.

His face turned terrifyingly red as if he had encountered something dreadful.

Shaking his head weakly, he replied, "I'm fine. Don't worry."

Nicole turned her head and noticed Colton's deadly pale complexion. He looked as if he could collapseat any moment.

"You look terrible now. Did you dream about something?" Nicole worriedly asked.

A crimson glint flashed in Colton's eyes, but still, he shook his head. He didn't want to worry Nicole. "I'mall right," he rasped.

Nicole felt hot tears well up in her eyes when she heard those words. Her voice choked with emotion asshe tightly held onto Colton's arm. "Colton, please tell me the truth. I need to know everything aboutyou in order to help you."

He was slightly moved when he looked at Nicole's sincere expression. After a while, he slowlyexplained, "I dreamed about Evelyn again, about how she saved me when we were kids, and thenabout the time we spent together. I didn't want to see her, so I forced myself to forget, but that gave mea terrible headache."

Colton lowered his gaze. He realized that he couldn't control his thoughts anymore. Every time he fellasleep, he would dream about Evelyn. If he forcibly tried to stop himself from thinking about Evelyn, hishead would throb with intense pain.

It was an excruciating pain that even he could barely endure.

Nicole knew this resulted from the voodoo in Colton's body. This voodoo was extremely potent, and itcaused Colton intense pain whenever he tried to control his thoughts.

Her eyes darkened as her grip on Colton's arm gradually tightened. It seems like I will need to hurryand go to the research center. She then embraced Colton and reassured him in a soft voice. "Colton,you don't have to control your thoughts. It’s because of the voodoo bug inside you that you’re longingfor Evelyn. It doesn't mean you're betraying me."

However, Colton felt a deep sense of guilt when he listened to Nicole comfort him. He felt as though hehad betrayed her.

He reached up to touch his forehead and realized that he was covered in cold sweat. Closing his eyes,he replied in a hoarse voice, "I understand."

Still, Nicole was concerned about him. She let go of the embrace and looked at Colton's handsomeface before her lips slightly parted. "Colton, I will help you get better. Please don't push yourself toohard now.

Colton's deep and gentle gaze narrowed as he looked at the person he adored in front of him. Therewas a pool of tenderness in his dark eyes.

"Mm, I know. I believe you, Nicky," he whispered softly.

He now realized that he couldn't control the voodoo bug within his body even with his strong self-control. Whenever he defied its will, his head throbbed so badly it felt like it would explode.
