Chapter 1271 Nicole Is Saved

When Ryan received the text, he contemplated telling the one behind this. Not long ago, someone had reached out

to him, inquiring about Nicole's condition with a clear emphasis on her survival. Since then, his anxiety had grown,

as he was cautious about the force behind the unknown person. Moreover, that mysterious person seemed to

possess an uncanny knowledge of his circumstances, capable of incriminating and leading him straight to jail.

Despite his reservations, he decided to candidly share the information he possessed.

'Why do you suddenly want to know about Nicole's condition? Have you regretted your actions?'

After reading Evelyn's text message, Ryan clenched his phone tightly. Then, he disregarded her message and

relayed the details to the mysterious person instead. When he saw that the other had received his message but had

not replied, he finally let out a sigh of relief. There were times when receiving no reply was the best news.

Meanwhile, under the dark sky, the streetlights beside the road remained on, shining their glow on the ground. An

unfamiliar man in a neatly-cut suit stood beneath one of these streetlights, engrossed in the text on his phone.

Then, he sighed in relief as though he had just gotten some good news.

Soon, a glimmer of contentment danced in his eyes as he adeptly dialed a number. His lips, initially pressed

together, parted as he began to speak. "Contact Mr. Lloyd. Tell him there's an emergency and that he will know

about it once he finishes his research early." The man's deep, attractive voice was extraordinarily ear-pleasing in

the dark night.

"Nicole, I'm returning soon." With the call concluded, the man lifted his gaze to the moonlit sky, a faint smile

adorning his lips.

Back inside the villa, Ryan looked at the message the mysterious man had sent. It instructed him to halt all recent

activities. Finally, Ryan felt relieved as it meant things had temporarily come to an end, but he was more worried

about whether that man would help the Yael Family with their matters.

Tonight was unlike any other because Chloe, who had locked herself inside her laboratory for days, finally came out.

On the other hand, Roxanna had been waiting for quite some time, as they had made plans to visit Nicole together

on this day. "Chloe, what took you so long?" she grumbled, massaging her sore legs in annoyance.

However, Chloe exited the laboratory with a light, almost carefree step as she hummed a tune. When she saw

Roxanna, she disregarded her complaints and hugged her, leaving Roxanna stunned.

The unexpected embrace caught Roxanna off guard, rendering her momentarily speechless. Despite their close

relationship, Chloe had never initiated such intimate gestures before. "Uhm… Chloe, is everything alright? Why do I

sense such elation?" she inquired cautiously, still taken aback by the sudden display of intimacy.

Suddenly, Chloe raised her phone as if to proudly show something off and replied, "Roxanna, I finally contacted Mr.

Lloyd. He says he'll be here the day after tomorrow!"

Just moments ago, she was still trying to work out how to get rid of the voodoo bug when she suddenly received a

reply from Albert's secretary. The message informed her that Albert had concluded his research ahead of schedule.



After learning about Nicole's condition, he hastened his return. However, they needed Chloe to send him all the

voodoo-bug-related research documents so that he could prepare in advance and hopefully find a cure for Nicole

once he arrived at the research center. Consequently, this urgent task diverted her attention from everything else,

making her late in meeting Roxanna.

Listening attentively to her explanation, Roxanna was momentarily stunned, eventually verifying the message from

Albert on Chloe's phone. Filled with exhilaration, she embraced her tightly and exclaimed, "Chloe, Nicole is saved!"

Caught up in the moment, Chloe joined her in a joyous jump, the two resembling jubilant fools frolicking in the

corridor.

Since the other employees had returned to their hostels, these exuberant pair remained the sole celebrants in the

large laboratory.

"Chloe, we must inform Nicole. This way, she won't need to suffer in silence," Roxanna suggested once their elation

had subsided.

On the other hand, Chloe's eyes dimmed at the mention of Nicole, who had been concealing her tears in her room

since learning that Colton had been wasting his days in nightclubs.

When Roxanna noticed her solemn expression, her grin faltered, hinting at her shared concern.
