Due to Evelyn's selfish act of feeding Colton blood to lure the voodoo bug, the bug had grown faster
than normal in his body, causing him to enter into such a state earlier than he was supposed to. The
medical books didn't contain any detailed records of such a case, nor did they mention if he would be
left with any complications after regaining consciousness.
Nicole was somewhat afraid to think about it, but her hands moved with great dexterity. Taking out a
scalpel, she made a small cut on Colton's wrist before proceeding to make a cut on her hand. Her eyes
darkened for a moment as she watched the man lie in bed. Then, she pressed the emergency button
beside his bed. Once she pressed this, someone would enter in ten minutes. Whatever the outcome
will be, somebody's going to clean this up. I don't want to die. I want to be with Colton and Hayden.
She slowly let out a breath and took a 12-inch long golden needle out of her purse. Then, focusing her
eyes on the acupoint, she thrust the needle into it with all her might. This, coupled with the fragrance of
the heated herbs in the air around them, soon caused the voodoo bug in Colton's arm to start
squirming. It was forced out of his system, but since there was no blood to lure it out, it merely
squirmed around, unwilling to leave its host.
Nicole wasted no time either. Taking a needle, she sealed all her acupoints before moving her wound
closer to Colton's.
Just as she expected, the voodoo bug instantly came alive at the scent of blood. Moving at great
speed, it quickly emerged from under Colton's skin. Then, before she knew it, the bug entered her
body.
Nicole only felt a prick in her wound, right after which she saw a small lump moving up her arm. She
knitted her brows. Luckily, she had sealed the acupoints on her arm with the silver needle. The voodoo
bug was blocked as soon as it tried to rush into her system, so it had no choice but to get stuck
midway. It wanted to turn back, only to find there was no way for it to return.
Just when Nicole was about to heave a sigh of relief, she suddenly felt a wave of nausea in her
stomach. She staggered for a moment and nearly fell; luckily, she swiftly clung to the edge of the bed
for support. This voodoo bug is already giving me such symptoms by just entering my body. If it really
gets into my insides, I'm sure I'll die on the spot. Looking down at the still-unconscious Colton, she
could no longer fend off the darkness enveloping her. Her legs gave out, and she collapsed onto the
floor.
Not long after that, a sudden flurry of movement could be heard outside the room. Soon, the door was
opened, and Rita was helped in by Siobhan. As soon as they came in, they saw Nicole lying
unconscious on the floor.
Letting out a gasp nervously, Rita immediately said to those around her, "G-Go check on her, you guys!
See what's going on with Nicole!"
