Chapter 1234 Physically and Mentally Exhausted

Standing inside the room, Evelyn gazed at the unfamiliar environment, thinking she couldn't just sit andwait.

This is Nicole's territory; the woman might've locked me up behind Colton's back. Yes, that must be it.

At that, Evelyn decided to try going out again. As she approached the door, she heard the distinctsound of it being locked.

Frowning, she shouted, "This is unlawful detention! Why have you locked me up in a place like this? Imight as well have stayed in a hotel!"

"I can arrange for you to be taken to a hotel if you replace this place unsatisfactory, Miss Wrenn. But thatwill mean that the child is no longer our responsibility. So, if you wish to continue staying here, Isuggest you quietly abide by the rules. Otherwise, don't blame me for treating you like a mentally illpatient."

It's that woman from earlier! Yes, I'm certain of it! Evelyn distinctly remembered that the woman's voicematched the one who had impeded her from leaving.

It seemed that the woman's previous departure was all a deception, just a way to catch her off guardand lock her up.

"Is this really okay, Miss Miller?" a staff member asked with concern. After all, Evelyn was an importantguest of Nicole's. "Shouldn't we inform Miss Anderson?"

Roxanna didn't reproach the staff member. After all, Nicole's relationship with Evelyn's child wasn't

ideal, and it wasn't a situation she could elucidate clearly. The best thing to do was just to make surethe woman inside gave birth and left quickly.

"Don't worry about it." Roxanna shook her head. "Just focus on protecting the child in her belly by anymeans necessary. The child is the priority. As for Nicole, you don't need to worry about her. Let's notinform her for now. She isn't in the mood to handle these matters lately."

"Yes, ma'am," the employee said thoughtfully, watching Roxanna leave. Although puzzled, she did asshe was told.

Within the pitch-black room sat Nicole on the floor, her lifeless eyes gazing ahead. No light could reachthe room, and the bathroom was in complete disarray. Only moments ago did she come to know thatshe was one month pregnant.

No wonder. Nicole smirked self-deprecatingly as a bitter chuckle escaped her. She should'veanticipated that this day would come. After all, a cursed Colton would do anything Evelyn said.Knowing Evelyn's character, there was no way she wouldn't have made him have sex with her.

"Nicole," Roxanna cautiously called from outside the door. It could just be her imagination, but shecouldn't shake off the feeling that Nicole wasn't herself.

She knew Nicole well, and she knew that Nicole wouldn't be so lost even having been thrown into sucha situation, let alone lock herself in a room and not see anyone.

Roxanna pressed her ear against the door but heard no movement inside the room. She grewconcerned and decided to call out again. "Nicole, it's me, Roxanna. There's something I'd like todiscuss with you."

Nicole's eyelashes trembled. She must have just finished crying, as her upper and lower lashes stucktogether slightly, causing a blurred vision before her.

"Hmm…" Roxanna locked her brows into a tight furrow. Something's definitely wrong. Nicole's a lightsleeper. She couldn't have missed it!

Fearing the possibility, she kicked the door open without hesitation.

The door opened with a bam, and the ominous feeling surged greater within Roxanna when she foundthe room in darkness.

"Nicole…" Roxanna found the switch easily and turned on the lights. What she saw frightened her.

Nicole sat on the floor like a doll, leaning against the white wall, her eyes lifeless, staring straightahead.

"I'm okay," Nicole said, coming around. She blinked slightly upon seeing Roxanna, not recalling whenthe latter had entered.

Roxanna knitted her brows into a deep furrow, for to her, Nicole's words were nothing but a facade. Noway was the woman okay when she was already in such a state.

"Come on, get up first. The floor is cold." Roxanna helped Nicole sit on the bed. Her heart twinged asshe looked at the tear marks on Nicole's face.

Nicole subconsciously touched her cheek. She felt a tightness there and realized that her face was wet.She didn't know when tears had reached her face.
