Chapter 1255 The Last Medicine
The dimly lit room slowly settled into its familiar calmness, enveloping Nicole in peaceful solitude.
Soon, the moonlight gently streamed through the window, painting a delicate glow over her neatly
made bed.
''Nicky, why aren''t you replying to my message? Are you busy at the research center today?''
''Nicky, why didn''t you pick up when I called you earlier?''
Numerous texts and missed calls were disyed on her phone screen, but she did not intend to check
them.
''Nicky, please reply when you see this message. I''ve found a way to treat the after-effects, after which
we''ll know if Evelyn''s child belongs to me. I''m growing impatient to wait until her child is born, and I
want to spare you any further distress during this period.''
Nicole''s eyshes fluttered, and her eyes opened gradually. Suddenly, her face grew even paler as
she gazed at her phone.
''Chloe, please help me return to normal as soon as possible.''
After sending herst message, an abrupt wave of exhaustion washed over her, leaving her unable to
hold onto her phone, which slipped from her grasp andnded softly on the carpet, breaking its fall.
Meanwhile, Colton emerged from his shower, and he finally saw Nicole''s reply.
The n had been for her to return and reside with him, yet unforeseenplications at the research
center kept them apart.
''Colton, let''s meet at the research center tomorrow.''
Despite a nagging unease after reading the message, he couldn''t quite put his finger on the source of
his foreboding. Then, he swiped the phone screen and dialed a familiar number.
"Did you find out about the man''s background?" Colton inquired with a solemn tone, his face growing
somber.
"President Gardner, there have been no further updates since we discovered that unknown number
calling Ryan a few days ago."
"Okay, just keep an eye on Ryan, and don''t let him get away with it."
"We saw Mrs. Gardner and Evelyn at the cafe today. We weren''t sure what they were discussing
because I didn''t go in as I was afraid to alert them."
Colton''s brows furrowed as the words reached his ears, triggering a suspicion that all was not well.
Why would the two women need a private discussion outside the research center? The choice of
meeting at a cafe, particrly the one Ryan used as a hideout, raised his suspicions further.
"Keep an eye on Ryan and report to me if you find anything suspicious. Don''t let history repeat itself,"
he instructed, his face etched with concern. A sense of unease gnawed at him as he hung up,
amplifying his worry about Nicole''s unusual demeanor. He couldn''t shake the feeling that something
ominous loomed on the horizon.
The following afternoon, Colton wasted no time and headed to the research center.
Meanwhile, Nicole had just taken her medication and sat at the dressing table, calmly applying
makeup. Her once-paleplexion now held a delicate rosy hue, disying a marked improvement
from the day before.
At this moment, Chloe''s advice resonated in her mind like a constant reminder. Although this medicine
could temporarily give you a clean bill of health, please refrain from getting too emotional; otherwise,
your body will not be able to sustain itself, and you will be left with less than a month to live. These
words reverberated like a broadcast within her, each phrase echoing incessantly in Nicole''s mind as
her condition improved.
"Nicole, President Gardner is here," Roxanna announced upon observing Colton''s arrival at the
medical base.
After hearing this, Nicole looked at herself in the mirror, her lips curled into a small smile. Since fate will
not allow us to spend the rest of our lives together, we should bid our goodbyes with dignity. She got up
slowly, and a resolve building within her. It''s time to end this.

"You''re here." A clear and soothing female voice was heard from inside the room.
