At the thought of this, he quickly took out his laptop and turned on the location tracking software. His cell phone’s location was connected to his mother’s. Thus, he turned on the computer and took a look. And sure enough, it was in Colton’s villa!
As Colton sat on the bed and listened to the drizzling sound of water in the bathroom, his eyes slowly darkened.
“You brat, which girl did you have your eyes on this time that you went so far as to drug her? What a monster!” The male newcomer’s energetic voice entered the room before him.
When Colton heard Harvey’s voice, his face darkened a little bit. He stood up from the head of the bed and saw Harvey turning in from the outside. He said in an unfriendly tone, “If you spew nonsense again, I’ll throw you down from the third floor!”
Harvey was successfully tricked by Colton. He shut his mouth and muttered in a low voice, “How old are you? Can’t you take a few jokes? Where’s the patient?”
Colton stepped forward and walked to the bathroom. He stretched out his hand and knocked on the door. “Miss Nicole, the doctor’s here.”
Nicole, who was in the bathroom, was currently immersed in water. The water from the bathtub was at her neck.
However, perhaps because too much time had passed, she was a little delirious. Cold water was pouring down from the top of her head to her body, but she still couldn’t suppress the heat that was churning in her body.
Even her breaths were hot.
Vaguely, she heard Colton’s voice and raised her hand, only to find that her whole body had gone weak. Hence, she could only answer feebly with her eyes lowered, “I can’t get up…”
Harvey heard a soft female voice coming from the bathroom, but he only thought that it was a rare occasion. He hadn’t expected a clueless man like Colton to actually bring a woman home.
He craned his neck with the intention to lean over to take a look, but Colton pulled him away with one hand, accompanied by a warning. “If you still want to keep your eyes, you better look away.”
His words worked well. After all, Colton had always been a man of his words.
Because of that, Harvey was discouraged and shrank back, returning to the bedside where he turned his head away.
Colton opened the door and went in, and found that Nicole’s condition was worsening by the second. She was lying limply in the bathtub as if she were boneless.
Fortunately, she still had a bit of her reason left and knew to put her head on the edge of the bathtub so that she wouldn’t drown.
The water in the bathtub had already overflowed, and her clothes and pants were completely drenched and clinging to her body.
Her partly visible curves were now standing out after being soaked in the cold water.
Colton took a towel and drained the water in the bathtub. Then, he wrapped Nicole’s wet body with the towel and carried her in his arms.
Nicole was currently extremely weak. After she was picked up, her head lolled onto his chest, her wet, damp hair leaving a watermark on it.
However, Colton wasn’t disgusted, and walked out with her in his arms.
Harvey, who was sitting outside, turned his head after hearing the noise behind him. Immediately, he saw the wet person in Colton’s arms and called out in surprise, “Nicole?”
After seeing that the person in his arms was Nicole, Harvey’s originally careless expression immediately became serious. “Is her condition that bad now?” He hurriedly stepped forward to check. Even after soaking in cold water for such a long time, her skin was still red.
“Yeah, come and take a look.” Colton carefully placed Nicole on the bed.
Even though her body was still wet, he directly placed her on the bed without hesitation.
The dark-colored sheets became darker after they were drenched in water.
“Why is my sister-in-law drugged, and why is she here?” Harvey asked anxiously. If his brother knew, he would definitely be worried.
“Sister-in-law?” Colton’s tone turned unfriendly as he narrowed his long eyes.
“Yes, my brother’s future wife,” Harvey said as he began to inspect Nicole. This drug’s a strong one. Until now, the symptoms aren’t showing any signs of subsiding. If anything, they’re becoming worse.
Seeing that Harvey was checking on her, Colton didn’t press him for answers and stood stiffly by the side while watching them.
Currently, Nicole’s whole face was flushed, and her eyelids were lowered, making her unable to see the person in front of her clearly. But she vaguely heard someone calling her sister-in-law. If her guess was right, it was probably Harvey, because only he would call her that.
Harvey Yates was Zachary Yates’ half-brother, but the relationship between the two brothers was extremely good. Because Harvey didn’t want to compete for his family’s property, he ran away from home on a certain dark and windy night…
Harvey quickly examined Nicole.
When he heard Colton’s description on the phone earlier, he had already made preparations in advance.
Harvey began to prescribe the medicine and Nicole’s complexion finally improved after one injection.
After administering the injection, he turned his head to look at Colton and asked with a frown, “What the hell is going on? Why did my sister-in-law become like this?”
Seeing that Nicole’s condition had improved and the flush on her face had gradually dissipated, Colton breathed a sigh of relief. “Come with me.”
Upon saying that, he dragged Harvey out without even waiting to see whether Harvey was willing to follow.
When they went out, they saw Annie arriving with a bowl of soup. Colton left her an order while saying, “Annie, go in and help her change into a set of clean clothes.”
When she looked at the room that was originally Colton’s, she wanted to say something but held her tongue in the end. She merely nodded and answered, “All right.”
After Harvey was pulled out by Colton, he still had a puzzled look. Why did Nicole become like this? Most importantly, she was even at Colton’s house!
“What’s going on?” Not long after they walked out, Colton immediately asked.
“What do you mean by that?” Harvey looked at the man’s dark expression and didn’t understand the current situation. In fact, he was about to ask why Nicole was at Colton’s house but was interrogated instead.
“Why did you call Nicole ‘sister-in-law’?” Colton’s dark eyes bore into Harvey.
Harvey pieced the puzzle together when he saw Colton’s reaction and asked in shock, “D-Don’t tell me you have your eyes on my sister-in-law?!”
Colton fell silent. Yes, if he didn’t have a crush on Nicole, why would he have cared who she was with?
However, when did he start liking her? Why couldn’t he remember it at all?
“Nothing. I just wanted to know,” he denied, not admitting the truth.
Upon hearing that Colton didn’t have such intentions, Harvey let out a sigh of relief and began to explain, “My brother is Zachary Yates. Although we come from different mothers, we have an excellent relationship. When I was abroad, I even met Nicole a few times.”
……
Zachary Yates…
Although Colton had known that F&M Apparel’s president, Zachary Yates, had the hots for Nicole, it didn’t feel nice to hear the truth from someone else.
Colton’s heart swelled with displeasure. Without saying anything else, he immediately grabbed Harvey and dragged him downstairs.
Before Harvey could react, he saw Colton dragging him and asked in confusion, “What’s wrong? Is there anything else?”
Colton dragged him directly to the door and held the door frame with his long, skeletal fingers, responding, “There’s nothing else. You may leave now.”
Huh? Just as Harvey was about to open his mouth to say something else, the door suddenly shut on him and locked him out.
“Colton Gardner! You still haven’t told me why my sister-in-law is at your house in this state!” Harvey slammed on the door.
Colton called me over in the middle of the night, but he is just leaving me like this now?
Inside the house, Colton replied in a hostile tone, “Keep knocking if you want me to chop off your hands.”
