Chapter 1168 A Marionette

Nicole could roughly confirm this was the voodoo bug that had infected Colton when she remembered the

symptoms that she observed when treating Colton previously. Hence, she picked up the jar and studied the voodoo

bug inside. The black voodoo bug in the jar was tiny. The size of its whole body was only a quarter of the size of a

human eyeball.

The voodoo bug flew around wildly in the jar the minute she held it in her hand, as though it sensed something was

wrong.

However, she ignored it and placed the jar in her hand. Although she still wasn't sure if this was the voodoo bug that

infected Colton, she figured it was better to take it back and study it. Therefore, she grabbed some tools and

stuffed the voodoo bug into a small apparatus. Now that she found out there was something dubious between Gina

and the science academy, Nicole naturally couldn't take the voodoo bug back to the medical base for research for

the time being. Therefore, she would have to find a safe place to conduct her research alone.

Later, Nicole returned to Logan's office with the voodoo bug. She placed the key back in its original spot. Now as

long as the Yaels don't go to the basement, they probably won't realize this voodoo bug is missing.

After she successfully obtained the voodoo bug, she quickly thought of the best place to study it—Nathan's

laboratory. I can no longer trust the medical base to be safe for now, so I can only seek help from Mr. Zeller, Nicole

thought while tightening her grip on the jar. Thus, she dialed Nathan's number without further ado, "Mr. Zeller, are

you available now?" Nicole asked with a slightly anxious tone.

Nathan furrowed his brows, seemingly sensing that something had happened through her anxious tone, and

inquired with concern, "What's the matter? Did something happen?"

Nicole gulped as she bit the bullet by explaining, "Well, I found the voodoo bug in the science academy's basement.

And since I can't exactly bring it to the medical base either… I'm wondering if I can borrow your laboratory. Is… that

okay with you?"

"Of course, Nicole. Just come over," Nathan instantly agreed to her request.

It was as Nicole expected. Nathan would never reject her, regardless of what her request was. Of course, she didn't

doubt that he would say no if she planned to do anything harmful to society. After she gave Nathan her response,

she drove to his laboratory without delay.

As Durobrivae Town Central Hospital's hospital director, Nathan was a man of high authority. Therefore, he

undoubtedly had a personal laboratory for his own projects. And even though the laboratory personnel were all his

apprentices and students, Nathan still emptied the whole lab for Nicole's sake. As a result, Nicole was greeted with

an empty laboratory when she arrived. "Thank you, Mr. Zeller," Nicole said, expressing her gratitude sincerely. As

she didn't want to delay even a moment right now, she promptly entered the laboratory with the voodoo bug.

Although Nathan had never seen a voodoo bug before, he did hear multiple horrific tales about it. So, he couldn't



help but worry as he asked, "Nicole, it's hard to control a voodoo bug. Do you need my help?"

Nicole put on a faint smile and shook her head upon hearing his suggestion. I am already very grateful that Mr.

Zeller has given me leave to use his laboratory temporarily until I clean house at my end. He absolutely doesn't

need to stay here and risk his life in order to study the voodoo bug with me. Besides, as he said, the voodoo bug is

an unstable creature. I don't know what will happen during my research. I don't know whether this will backfire in

my face. What if the voodoo bug suddenly escapes and flies around before I could catch it in time? Someone may

get harmed by it when that happens and there will be irreparable consequences then.

As for him, he didn't insist on forcing his aid after receiving her answer. Instead, he remained silent and said

nothing more on the matter.

Meanwhile, on Colton's side, he came to a hotel after being brought over by Evelyn. What Evelyn wanted to do right

now was ensure that Colton would be hers permanently. She couldn't contain her excitement as she stared at

Colton's handsome face up close.

Evelyn tried her best to suppress her expression. Yet, her eyes remained filled with fanatical obsession as she said,

"Collie."

Unfortunately, there wasn't an ounce of emotion on Colton's face. As of this moment, he was sitting still on the bed

like a marionette. Regardless, Evelyn wasn't worried in the slightest. She leaned over to Colton and moved her lips

closer to his person.

Just as Evelyn's lips were about to touch his, he abruptly looked away and dodged her kiss. As a result, she gritted

her teeth in anger when she saw that Colton still found her touch repugnant. I can't believe Colton still

subconsciously dislikes me even after I have controlled him with a voodoo bug!

Evelyn was a little furious when she was faced with such a discovery. So, she reached out to caress Colton's face as

she demanded, "Why are you avoiding me, Collie? Have I not treated you well?"

He simply sat still on the bed instead of answering her. Even though she was the cause of his puppet-like behavior,

she couldn't help feeling upset and dissatisfied. Hence, she ordered angrily through her teeth, "Colton, now that you

are obligated to obey everything I say, I am ordering you to have sex with me!"
