Colton nodded. Now, Evelyn's words were the only instructions he would listen to, and as for Nicole,
she didn't go after him because she was aware that Colton was possessed by the voodoo bug. If she
went after him, it would lead to the bugs in his body clashing against his mind and he would be the one
suffering.
Nicole stood rooted on the spot as she watched on helplessly while Evelyn climbed into the car with
him intimately. After the car drove away, her knees buckled, and she collapsed to the ground. Her head
hung low as her lips curled into a self-deprecating smirk. Never did it occur to her that she and Colton
would be in such a situation.
Suddenly, she felt sick in her stomach and started retching uncontrollably, propping one hand on the
ground to support herself. Nothing came out of her mouth, not even bile. So, she reckoned it was
because she hadn't eaten anything today. She didn't know how long this went on before she finally
came to a stop, but it didn't bother her. Instead, she assumed she only had such a violent reaction
because she couldn't accept the situation that came so unexpectedly.
Shortly after, she scrambled to her feet. Right now, she had to get her hands on the voodoo bug and
research a way to nullify the poison. Otherwise, Colton would be forced to live the rest of his life in a lie.
Even White had very little contact with something like the voodoo bug when he was alive. Besides this
issue came so suddenly that she was unprepared to counter its effects. Thus, the only way now was to
get into the science academy where she would have more resources to research ways to eliminate it
once and for all.
When she recalled what Natasha had done, a vicious light flashed in her eyes. She was no pushover.
Instead, she would give an eye for an eye and wouldn't take this lying down. I'm out of time. I have to
take care of this quickly, or else, Colton will be in increasing danger as the day passes, she thought,
taking out her phone and calling a number. After she finished with the call, she got back on her feet
again.
There was no time to rest. She had to return to the science academy as soon as possible and get a
sample of the voodoo bug to research the way to nullify it. She wiped the tears off her face and her
eyes gleamed with determination. Then, she swiftly hopped into the car, recollected herself, and
stepped on the gas pedal.
When she arrived at the academy, the conference happened to be going on. "Did you guys forget
something?" As she stepped in, her voice was loud and clear, and everyone simultaneously turned
their heads to the source.
Natasha instantly turned pale and tightened her fists the instant she caught sight of Nicole. Why is she
back? How is she back?! I thought that it would be a one-way trip for her!
Nicole had found Natasha amongst the crowd as well, and her eyes were cold and indifferent. Natasha
hastily looked away the moment their eyes met as she was filled with nervousness and worry that
Nicole would get back at her.
On the stage, Logan's eyes fell on Nicole. Then, he frowned as he said sternly, "I don't think I've left out
anything."
Nicole smirked as she said in her crisp voice, "As the participant with the highest score in the written
exam, shouldn't I be accepted into the academy?"
