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 unlawful detention! Why have you locked me up in a place 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 place 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 blame 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 relationship 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 matters lately."

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

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

and the bathroom was in complete disarray. Only moments ago did she come 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 would come. 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 eyelashes trembled. She must have just finished crying, as her upper and lower lashes 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, coming around. She blinked slightly upon seeing Roxanna, not recalling when the latter 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.
