Chapter 1252 The Gloom on Nicole
Meanwhile, Nicole set aside her thoughts as her sole focus now was to unravel the mystery of Colton''s
voodoo. She aimed to discover an effective cure for Colton and provide him with the relief he sought.
"You''re here, Nicole," Evelyn greeted with a gentle smile, addressing the person seated across from
her.
Nicole nodded, and her gaze fixed on the seemingly calm woman. However, a sense of unease began
to creep over her—something felt off about Evelyn''s unusual calmness. "Have youe to discuss
Colton''s voodoo with me?" she probed tentatively.
Evelyn shook her head slightly, dispelling the notion, and spoke deliberately, "My intention today is not
just that. I wish to acknowledge your exceptional medical skills, and you are right about the voodoo in
some aspects."
Nicole caught onto the initial words, but confusion clouded her understanding as the conversation
unfolded. "What exactly do you mean?" She furrowed her brows, urging Evelyn to be direct. "Please be
clear. There''s no need to beat around the bush."
After hearing this, Evelyn shook her head, her silence speaking volumes. In the meantime, a waiter
approached, carrying a ss of steaming milk, and carefully ced it on the table. Then, breaking the
silence, Evelyn spoke, "I wasn''t entirely sure about your preference, so I took the liberty of ordering you
a hot milk."
Nicole nced at the ss and then back at Evelyn, whose calm attitude seemed out of ce. A
sense of unease started to creep over her.
"What''s the matter? Are you afraid that I spiked your drink? Whether it''s spiked or not, can''t you detect
it? Take your time and inspect it thoroughly before you decide to drink. I don''t mind waiting. After all,
we''re not that close," Evelyn said, a faint self-deprecation smile tugging at the corner of her lips before
fading away.
Nicole leaned down and cautiously sniffed the milk. Sensing no unusual odor, she proceeded to
scrutinize it intently. She understood that even if a poison devoid of color and smell were to be blended
in, it might induce subtle alterations too delicate for the average person to detect. However, her
meticulous inspection revealed no such traces, so she confidently confirmed that the milk appeared
safe for consumption. "I hope you''ll rify Colton''s situation." Despite the reassurance, she remained
cautious, prompting Evelyn again before taking a sip.
Meanwhile, Evelyn hesitated momentarily before subtly nodding in agreement with Nicole''s request.
After seeing her response, Nicole lifted the ss and finished the milk in one gulp. "Now, can you tell
me now?"
Evelyn stared at her in disbelief. She had anticipated Nicole to inspect the milk more closely, yet all
Nicole did was whiff and utter something before gulping it down. A question nagged at Evelyn—was
this a genuine disy of trust, or had Nicole''s profound love for Colton driven her to this unwavering
faith? The answer, she mused, undoubtedly leaned toward thetter.
Suddenly, a faint, bitter smile formed on her lips. She hadn''t tainted the milk with poison. Instead, she
had added a small dose of a sleeping pill, which was unlikely to cause any significant harm.
Nicole had intended to prompt her to exin Colton''s situation. However, before she could utter a
word, her vision blurred, her head spun, and in the next moment, she slumped onto the table.
"You maye out now. I''ve prepared the person for you." Evelyn''s voice remained eerily calm as
though addressing an unseen entity.
Rumble!
A faint echo of a shifting stone b resonated as Ryan stepped out from a concealed alcove. His lips
curled into a triumphant smile as heid eyes on the sprawled figure of Nicole on the table.
"Excellent! You did well." The man nodded in approval at Evelyn as his satisfaction barely contained.
On the other hand, Evelyn''s silent stare bore into Nicole''s unconscious form. The initial bitterness she
felt had transformed into a seething hatred. Her voice turned chilling as she inquired, "What is your
intention? Don''t forget, you made a promise to me."
"Of course, I remember. You''ve done me a great favor," Ryan replied nonchntly. Then, he pulled out
a small box from somewhere and opened it with malicious intent, pausing intentionally for dramatic
effect.
As her eyes widened, she saw what appeared to be a voodoo bug within. However, upon closer
inspection, it became evident that it was something even more formidable—a more giant and potent
creature.

"Perhaps, you''re curious if this is truly a voodoo bug?" Ryan was no doubt watching Evelyn with
interest. "It is indeed a voodoo bug, but not the ordinary kind. This is a supreme voodoo bug."
"A supreme voodoo bug?" Surprise colored her features as she studied the supreme voodoo bug held
in his grasp, as a wave of anxiety engulfed her.
