Chapter 1234 Physically and Mentally Exhausted


    Standing inside the room, Evelyn gazed at the unfamiliar environment, thinking she couldn''t just sit and


    wait.


    This is Nicole''s territory; the woman might''ve locked me up behind Colton''s back. Yes, that must be it.


    At that, Evelyn decided to try going out again. As she approached the door, she heard the distinct


    sound of it being locked.


    Frowning, she shouted, "This is uwful detention! Why have you locked me up in a ce like this? I


    might as well have stayed in a hotel!"


    "I can arrange for you to be taken to a hotel if you find this ce unsatisfactory, Miss Wrenn. But that


    will mean that the child is no longer our responsibility. So, if you wish to continue staying here, I


    suggest you quietly abide by the rules. Otherwise, don''t me me for treating you like a mentally ill


    patient."


    It''s that woman from earlier! Yes, I''m certain of it! Evelyn distinctly remembered that the woman''s voice


    matched the one who had impeded her from leaving.


    It seemed that the woman''s previous departure was all a deception, just a way to catch her off guard


    and lock her up.


    "Is this really okay, Miss Miller?" a staff member asked with concern. After all, Evelyn was an important


    guest of Nicole''s. "Shouldn''t we inform Miss Anderson?"


    Roxanna didn''t reproach the staff member. After all, Nicole''s rtionship with Evelyn''s child wasn''t


    ideal, and it wasn''t a situation she could elucidate clearly. The best thing to do was just to make sure


    the woman inside gave birth and left quickly.


    "Don''t worry about it." Roxanna shook her head. "Just focus on protecting the child in her belly by any


    means necessary. The child is the priority. As for Nicole, you don''t need to worry about her. Let''s not


    inform her for now. She isn''t in the mood to handle these matterstely."


    "Yes, ma''am," the employee said thoughtfully, watching Roxanna leave. Although puzzled, she did as


    she was told.


    Within the pitch-ck room sat Nicole on the floor, her lifeless eyes gazing ahead. No light could reach


    the room, and the bathroom was inplete disarray. Only moments ago did shee to know that


    she was one month pregnant.


    No wonder. Nicole smirked self-deprecatingly as a bitter chuckle escaped her. She should''ve


    anticipated that this day woulde. After all, a cursed Colton would do anything Evelyn said.


    Knowing Evelyn''s character, there was no way she wouldn''t have made him have sex with her.


    "Nicole," Roxanna cautiously called from outside the door. It could just be her imagination, but she


    couldn''t shake off the feeling that Nicole wasn''t herself.


    She knew Nicole well, and she knew that Nicole wouldn''t be so lost even having been thrown into such


    a situation, let alone lock herself in a room and not see anyone.

    Roxanna pressed her ear against the door but heard no movement inside the room. She grew


    concerned and decided to call out again. "Nicole, it''s me, Roxanna. There''s something I''d like to


    discuss with you."


    Nicole''s eyshes trembled. She must have just finished crying, as her upper and lowershes stuck


    together slightly, causing a blurred vision before her.


    "Hmm…" Roxanna locked her brows into a tight furrow. Something''s definitely wrong. Nicole''s a light


    sleeper. She couldn''t have missed it!


    Fearing the possibility, she kicked the door open without hesitation.


    The door opened with a bam, and the ominous feeling surged greater within Roxanna when she found


    the room in darkness.


    "Nicole…" Roxanna found the switch easily and turned on the lights. What she saw frightened her.


    Nicole sat on the floor like a doll, leaning against the white wall, her eyes lifeless, staring straight


    ahead.


    "I''m okay," Nicole said,ing around. She blinked slightly upon seeing Roxanna, not recalling when


    thetter had entered.


    Roxanna knitted her brows into a deep furrow, for to her, Nicole''s words were nothing but a facade. No


    way was the woman okay when she was already in such a state.


    "Come on, get up first. The floor is cold." Roxanna helped Nicole sit on the bed. Her heart twinged as


    she looked at the tear marks on Nicole''s face.


    Nicole subconsciously touched her cheek. She felt a tightness there and realized that her face was wet.


    She didn''t know when tears had reached her face.
