Chapter 424 Accidental Poke
Nicole immediately held the syringe from earlier in front of her chest defensively as she warned, “Don’t come closer! Otherwise, don’t blame me for what happens after.”
However, it was as though he didn’t hear her because he continued to walk toward her, step by step.
Right now, he was stark naked, and he was utterly drenched. When he was walking forward, the water flowed downward, following the outlines of his muscles.
Nicole’s heart shivered, and the syringe she held in front of herself started to tremble.
The uneasiness within her grew, and she turned around, planning to leave, when he grabbed her yet again.
Before he could say a thing, she swung her hand with the syringe backward, but she didn’t know where the needle had stabbed into. All she heard was a small groan of pain ringing behind her. Right after, he released her.
She hurriedly turned around to check up on him and realized that the syringe was planted in that particular spot.
His entire face was sullen, and he reached out to remove the syringe in a low grumble. Despite that, his dark eyes had recovered their rationale.
“I just wanted you to help me up,” Colton said. Even though this shot from her had suppressed quite a bit of the drug effects, his body had been placed under pressure for so long that it was aching and weak. That was why he needed Nicole’s help to get up. Who would have thought that the person ahead of him gave him another jab instead?
Luckily the needle was tiny, or it would have hurt him, irreparably so.
Nicole made sure her eyes were half-lidded as she frantically felt for a towel from the side and threw it over to cover the lower part of his body as she uttered in embarrassment, “You should have said so earlier! I thought that the effect of the drug was still there. Also, aren’t you the least embarrassed? I’m a woman. At the very least, when you’re standing in your birthday suit right before me, don’t you feel anything?”
The jerk walked forward without a word and even pulled her along. Of course, Nicole thought that his beastly instincts had taken over him, and she had stabbed him out of the fear in her heart.
A smirking Colton grabbed the towel and covered himself with one hand while he draped another arm over her shoulder. “I have such a good figure. Even if you see everything, I’m not embarrassed at all,” he said in a husky voice.
Nicole stopped herself from rolling her eyes and carefully dragged the man into the bedroom. On the way, she didn’t forget to mock him, “Flasher.”
The medication mix by Harvey was kind of effective, and even though the flush on Colton’s face had yet to subside completely, his body wasn’t burning as much as earlier.
Nicole went out and got him a glass of water, and when she returned, he had already dressed himself.
When she handed him the glass of water, she was a little worried that her last jab earlier would have hurt him quite badly. Therefore, she rubbed her nose awkwardly, asking in a low voice, “Well… that is… are you okay?”
When Colton noticed the awkward flush on her cheeks, he knew what she was asking about. Hence, he smirked a little, and his dark eyes crinkled in amusement as he joked, “If something happened to me, are you going to be responsible for me for the rest of my life?”
His inappropriate words made her glare at him, baring her teeth. “You can’t blame me for that when you’re the one who didn’t say anything. But, if you really can’t make it, I know a few experts in this field, and they can help you with treatment.”
As he listened to her serious suggestions, he coughed lightly. He honestly didn’t want to be labeled as impotent by others and reassured her after a short moment of silence, “I’m fine.”
On the other hand, Queenie came into Nicole’s mind after Colton had regained his sobriety. She’s so severely drugged, she thought. If she doesn’t get a man, I’m afraid that…
Her well-defined eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she lifted her eyes at Colton, who was on the bed, inquiring, “By the way, about Queenie, what do you plan to do with her?”
At the mention of Queenie, the calm look on his face disappeared immediately, and in its place was a ruthless expression.
