Chapter 1264 Zachary's Revelation

The three of them stood facing each other for a long time. Roxanna looked at Chloe and then atZachary beside her before letting out a sigh.

"As for the specifics, we don't know either. We only know that Nicole went out a few days ago andcame back with a voodoo bug in her. It's not an ordinary voodoo bug," Roxanna said, closing her eyestightly as if summoning great courage.

Zachary looked at Roxanna in shock. He knew what a voodoo bug was, but he hadn't expected such apotent voodoo bug to be in Nicole.

"I remember this voodoo bug can be eliminated. Aren't you both skilled in medicine? Can't you help?"Zachary pondered and asked after suddenly having an idea.

Chloe shook her head in despair. "It's impossible. The voodoo bug in Nicole is a supreme voodoo bug,the most domineering type. There's no known cure for it, and a person can only survive for a month,but..."

"But what?" Zachary frowned.

Roxanna sighed. "Yes, because of various reasons, Nicole won't live beyond a month, and it's evenmore likely that she won't make it through a week."

Zachary gasped at the revelation. Why had things suddenly taken such a dire turn? He had only goneabroad for a short while, and so much had happened to Nicole in his absence.

Only earlier in the day, she had brimmed with vitality. Zachary remembered Nicole's radiant complexion

when Colton paid a visit.

"Could the reason for the sudden decrease in time be related to her rosy complexion today? Did sheuse some kind of special medicine so that Colton would believe that her feelings for me are genuine?So that she can successfully deceive him?" Zachary blurted out his speculation.

Roxanna paused for a moment and then nodded as she was surprised by his insight.

However, it was also true that given how much Nicole loved Colton, these possibilities could very wellmanifest in her actions. It wasn't that hard to guess.

Now that his suspicion was confirmed, Zachary brushed past Roxanna and Chloe and left in a daze.

In fact, Zachary wasn't surprised. Nicole loved Colton so much. If there hadn't been an urgent reason,why would she treat Colton like this? It was just that he never anticipated that Nicole would be willing tosacrifice her own life for this.

Chloe watched Zachary's departing figure, sighing helplessly. She turned to Roxanna and said, "I'll gocheck on Nicole first. I'll leave the matters in the research center to you."

Roxanna nodded and watched as Chloe entered Nicole's room, then she turned and left. With Nicole'scondition deteriorating, she needed to ensure the research center ran smoothly without any hitches.

As night fell, the full moon hung high in the sky.

Ever since leaving the research center, Colton had been walking along the road, not knowing where to

go. With Nicole gone, he felt lost, unsure of the path ahead.

Evelyn rubbed her sore ankle and watched Colton get farther and farther away. Gritting her teeth, shehurried to catch up to him. "Colton, let's go home. We've been walking for almost a day."

Yes, they had been walking for almost a day, all because of Nicole. If it weren't for her, she wouldn'thave needed to walk this long.

Thinking about this, Evelyn unconsciously blamed everything on Nicole, as if she had forgotten that shehad conspired with Ryan to plant a voodoo in Nicole in the first place.

Colton moved like a zombie, not paying any attention to what Evelyn was saying behind him. Rightnow, there was only one person who could make him turn around immediately.

That person was Nicole.

Evelyn endured the pain in her ankle. "Colton, I'm hungry, and the child in my stomach must be hungrytoo. Why don't we get something to eat?"

She had long given up on walking. She thought this was a rare opportunity, and if she handled it well,she could make Colton realize her feelings. Then, no matter what Nicole did or how she behaved,Colton wouldn't change his mind.

That way, Colton would belong to her alone.
