Chapter 1258 He Will Not Divorce Her

Colton walked out of the research center in a daze, with Evelyn clinging to him like a persistentshadow.

"Colton, I've heard about what happened between you and Nicole. This seems to be the only outcomesince she cannot accept me," she remarked, noticing his distracted emotions. This deepened herjealousy of Nicole, as she couldn't fathom what made Nicole so exceptional that she deserved his lovedespite her hurtful words.

Earlier, she had surreptitiously eavesdropped near the window while the couple conversed. Herposition was carefully chosen to remain hidden from Roxanna's view. When she overheard Nicoleasking Roxanna to replace her, Evelyn managed to slip back to her room. Consequently, she had noknowledge of the subsequent conversation.

"Colton?" Evelyn called out tentatively after realizing Colton's reluctance to engage with her.

As the man was immersed in his thoughts, he felt increasingly annoyed by her voice. "I'll havesomeone send you back later. Just focus on taking care of yourself during your pregnancy." His coldgaze briefly flickered toward her before he abruptly turned and walked away, disappearing from hersight.

After hearing this, Evelyn stood there, bewildered. Why? Why didn't he spare me a glance even afterNicole told him she didn't want him anymore? "Nicole, since you're on the brink of death, I won't grantyou peace even in your demise!" Her eyes flared with venomous anger, her words dripping withbitterness.

"Mr. Gardner, Miss Anderson asked me to come and discuss the divorce matter with you. Here's the

divorce agreement." A seemingly familiar lawyer approached Colton as if deliberately awaiting hisarrival.

Colton cast a fleeting glance at the lawyer. He recognized him as Nicole's dedicated attorney, handlingall her legal affairs.

"Do you know why she wants to leave me?"

Colton's question momentarily caught the lawyer off guard. Suddenly, the lawyer found himself at a lossfor words. He handled her legal affairs but wasn't privy to the specifics of this situation. "Mr. Gardner,you might be putting me in a difficult position here. As for the exact reason behind this, it would bebetter for you to ask Miss Anderson herself." An awkward smile tugged at the corners of the lawyer'slips.

After hearing this, Colton silently accepted the divorce agreement from the lawyer and began to study itintently.

The lawyer breathed a sigh of relief at Colton's response. This was standard procedure, and thelawyer's involvement had been an anomaly.

Suddenly, Colton's expression darkened as a deep-seated frustration rose within him. The tightness inhis chest and his shortness of breath intensified his anger. "I won't divorce her. Convey that to her," hesnapped as he tossed the divorce agreement back at the lawyer. Then, he stormed off before thelawyer could respond.

The lawyer was puzzled at Colton's dissatisfaction while holding the divorce agreement. He wasclueless about what might have triggered this reaction. Miss Anderson has left the marriage with

nothing but a research center; everything else is given to him. So, what could have possibly dissatisfiedhim?

Despite his confusion, the lawyer relayed the truth to Nicole.

While listening quietly to the lawyer's words over the phone, Nicole responded weakly, "I understand. Iwill take care of it. Thank you for your assistance. Please inform him to come to the research centeragain tomorrow if he's unwilling to sign the divorce agreement." A few more words were exchanged onthe other end before she ended the call.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

"Nicole, I'm coming in." Chloe's voice accompanied the knock, resonating in the room.

"Nicole, it's time for your medication," she said as she walked in while holding a bowl containing astrongly-scented tonic. A pang of sorrow washed over her as she observed Nicole's noticeably palercomplexion, yet she masked her emotions, maintaining a faint smile.

With a slight nod, Nicole gazed at her and spoke calmly, "Please prepare another bowl for me."

"What?" Chloe's disbelief creased her brow. "Nicole, you can't have that medicine anymore!" She knewwhat Nicole meant when she said another bowl. Hence, she couldn't allow Nicole to persist; doing somight mean Nicole wouldn't make it through another week.
