Chapter 970 Got Hurt
After Roger spoke, he didn't leave. He leaned toward Nicole and whispered, "Boss, do you really have feelings for
that pretty boy? He's very calculative, so you should be careful not to be fooled by him."
Although Roger didn't admit defeat, he could tell that Colton was very cunning and could easily find someone's
weakness after the battle just now. Of course, Roger had more capabilities than just brute force since he could take
on the position of deputy leader.
However, when faced with this confrontation, he admitted that he was too eager to show off in front of Nicole, thus
underestimating Colton. He failed to avoid Colton's blow even though his instincts had been honed through years of
combat.
"Alright, hurry back now. He's not a pretty boy," she urged.

Roger's dissatisfaction became even more apparent when he saw how Nicole was concerned for Colton. However,
in the end, he didn't say anything and left with his men.
After sending them away, Nicole returned to the house and noticed that Colton was already sitting on the couch, his
legs crossed while looking very relaxed. She glanced at him, feeling somewhat amused as she asked, "What's
wrong?"
"I'm injured," he said pitifully as he lowered his gaze.
Injured? How is that possible? she furrowed her brows. From what she remembered, Colton didn't even get hit
when he fought with Roger just now.
Seeing how Nicole was skeptical, Colton pointed to his waist and abdomen before saying, "That guy just grazed me
with a punch. Although I didn't make a sound, he did hit me."
After recalling the scene just now, Nicole remembered that Roger did brush past Colton once, but since Colton
didn't make a sound and remained calm, she thought he wasn't injured. Nicole felt rather embarrassed since they

were on the same side, but Roger had barged into Colton's home. Originally, she intended for Roger and his men to
stay at the hotel that she had booked, but she didn't expect them to come straight here.
"Do you want me to apply some medicine for you?" Nicole asked.
"Okay." Colton agreed without hesitation.
With that, she went to get the medical kit that was in the house while he remained seated on the couch,
maintaining his previous posture without crossing his legs.
She took out an ointment from the kit that would help to promote blood circulation and remove bruises. Seeing that
he was still slumped against the couch, she couldn't help but say, "Pull up your clothes."
Colton didn't move and said, "I just fought a battle earlier, and I have no strength left in my body. Nicky, you're a
kind person, so help me out." There was a glint in his narrow eyes. The tall and slender man seemed to be acting

like a child and asking for her help.
Hearing that, Nicole merely glanced at Colton calmly, but in the end, she gave in. She reached out and pulled his
shirt up. The feeling of the smooth silk fabric was pleasant. Not only that, Colton had a good figure. Although he
didn't have muscles that were as big as Roger's, the muscles on his waist and abdomen were apparent when his
clothes were rolled up.
She glanced at his waist and saw a patch of redness, which indicated that he had been hit rather forcefully.
However, it was only a small area and didn't seem too serious since he managed to dodge it quickly.
With that, Nicole took out the ointment and poured it onto her palms. After warming up her hands, she applied the
ointment on Colton's red skin. His body trembled, and tears seemingly welled up in his jet-black eyes.
"Nicky, it hurts. Be gentle," he pleaded.
She was speechless upon hearing that. As she looked at Colton's overly handsome face, she suddenly realized that
Roger was right about Colton being a pretty boy.
