Chapter 1183 How Dare You

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

Evelyn's face fell when she saw what Nicole was doing. Just when she wanted to step forward and saysomething, she saw Nicole turn toward Rita and say, "Grandma, can I ask a favor of you? Please helpkeep 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 careof her around the clock."

Evelyn's expression froze instantly. Not expecting that Rita would really hold her captive, she glaredresentfully at Nicole and growled, "Nicole, what are you doing?! I'm the one Colton loves now, and hecan'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 bythe burly men.

Rita knew that Nicole had studied under White and was thus highly skilled in medicine. After darting aglance at the unconscious Colton with a frown, she turned to look at Nicole, asking, "What are yougoing 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 endedup like this because of the voodoo bug. Having lived for a long time, she was rich in experience andhad more or less heard of almost everything, so it went without saying that she knew about the dangersof 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.

"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 witheasily, then why must she come all the way back to Gould Residence? However, seeing howdetermined Nicole looked, she didn't say another word, knowing that her advice wouldn't have much ofan 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, theGoulds had their own medical base. It wasn't large, but it had everything that was needed, which wasenough for Nicole.

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

A pained look flickered across Nicole's eyes as she watched Colton lie unconscious in bed. The manlooked much paler than when they last met just a few days ago; his eyes were sunken, and there weredark circles under them. It was obvious that he hadn't groomed himself over the last few days. His chinwas covered in stubble, making him look much more dispirited than usual. She recalled how he hadlooked like during their previous meeting, and it made her heart ache to see how he now looked like anempty 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 ofColton's body as soon as possible. Otherwise, the bug would get into his heart over time, upon whichhe 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.
