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.

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

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.
