Chapter 981 Starting to Feel Sick Again
It was fortunate that Nicole had run straight to the trash can as soon as she felt the wave of nausea rising within
her. Otherwise, she would have thrown up all over the floor by now.
She clutched at the trash can tightly, vomiting until her entire complexion went pale. Having eaten some sour
straws candy yesterday, her appetite had significantly improved in the morning. She had eaten quite a large
breakfast as a result, so throwing up now was very taxing on her body.
Leaning against the trash can, she threw up until the contents of her stomach were empty. Only then did she finally
stop retching.
An expression of worry immediately surfaced on Roger's face when he saw Nicole's condition. His large figure
leaned forward. Just as he was about to walk to her side, he was stopped by Colton.
Colton took the lead and walked over to Nicole instead. Reaching out his hand, he patted her on the back to soothe
her. His voice was filled with concern.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Are you okay? Does it hurt?"
Nicole had vomited so much that her head was spinning, but she dazedly shook her head. Her mouth was currently
filled with an unbearable aftertaste.
He took out a bottle of water, seemingly out of thin air. Then, he handed the bottle to her.
Nicole took the bottle from him and rinsed out the residual taste in her mouth. Her stomach was completely empty
now. Had she known that she would vomit everything in the end, she would not have eaten so much for breakfast.
When she finished rinsing out her mouth, he handed her a paper napkin. She wiped her mouth clean and then
exhaled wearily.
"Boss, w-what's wrong?" Although Roger's appearance made him seem rather tough and rough around the edges,
he was actually quite delicate inside.
Nicole shook her head and faintly replied, "It's nothing. I might have worked too hard recently and upset my
stomach as a result. It's no big deal."
Seeing that she did not wish to answer his question, he did not pursue the matter further. He simply stared at
Colton intently.
On the other hand, Colton did not avoid Roger's gaze. Helping Nicole to her feet, he returned the look with a raised
eyebrow.
Roger knew that Colton was challenging and provoking him. Hence, he clenched his fists in frustration but showed
no intention to retaliate because Nicole was present.
Colton held Nicole's hand. Looking at her pale and sickly complexion, a look of deep concern appeared in his eyes.
He could see that her entire body had gone weak and limp from throwing up her entire breakfast. Thus, he clasped
her hand and helped her to breathe.
When she recovered to some degree, she raised her head and smiled slightly at the sight of the worried expression
on Roger's face. She softly reassured him, "I'm fine. There's no need to worry about me. I'm just feeling a little
under the weather. Please go back to work. I'll be fine after resting for a while."
Roger studied Nicole's face for a moment. In the end, he nodded quietly without saying anything and turned to
leave.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmColton studied Nicole's pale complexion and felt extremely bad for her. Reaching out his hand, he stroked her cheek
and blamed himself for her discomfort. "If I had known you would suffer so much, I would not have gotten you
pregnant."
At the mention that she was pregnant, Nicole involuntarily glared at him angrily. If not for his insistence that night...
Forget it. She retracted her gaze. I was at fault too. We were both accomplices in that incident. After all, I had too
much to drink that night and couldn't control myself either...
"Let's return for now. The people from Undercity won't be able to discover anything so soon, so it will probably take
some time for Roy to obtain results," she said tiredly. Pregnancy was truly an uncomfortable experience for her.
"Okay. I'll send you home. Julian is monitoring the situation, so nothing major will happen. I'll send word to you as
soon as we have news," he cooed softly. Then, he reached out to wrap his arm around her so that she could lean
against his body for support.
Struggling to break free, she shoved him away with both hands and snapped angrily, "We are still at the hotel.
There are too many eyes and ears here. Don't make such intimate gestures."
He glanced at her shy expression and raised his eyebrows at her. Chuckling softly, he whispered in her ear, "Why
can't we be intimate with each other, Nicole? You're so cruel. We've practically done everything, including the
wedding ceremony. What is there to fear?"
The roguish expression on his face instantly made her want to punch him in the face.
