Chapter 1184 Luring Out the Voodoo Bug


    After getting all the things she needed, Nicole put on protective clothing and started to operate on him.


    She knew Rita was concerned about her and wanted to have other doctors assist her, but voodoo bugs


    were bizarre creatures. Even if other doctors were present, they probably wouldn''t be of much help


    either.


    She tied Colton''s hands and feet for fear of him struggling. After getting everything started, she began


    to perform acupuncture on him ording to her memory. To insert the golden needle into his acupoint,


    she had to first use silver needles to seal his circtory system so that the voodoo bug could be forced


    out as soon as she inserted the golden needle.


    In his early years, White had started out as an alternative medicine practitioner, so Nicole was most


    proficient in acupuncture skills during her apprenticeship with him. Therefore, she already knew the


    positions of all the acupoints on the human body by heart.


    It took her about half an hour to seal all the acupoints on Colton''s body. As she looked at the still-


    unconscious man, a hint of yearning flickered across her eyes. It was recorded in medical books that if


    the voodoo bug were to be transferred to a different host, the new host might die instantly as a result.


    She had alreadye up with a way of dealing with this, but she dared not be 100 percent sure that


    she would be alright. And besides, Colton had been infected with the bug for such a long time; no one


    knew what would happen to him after the bug left his body.


    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 anyplications 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 oue


    will be, somebody''s going to clean this up. I don''t want to die. I want to be with Colton and Hayden.


    N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.


    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 copsed 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!"
