Chapter 833

While Colton heard what Evelyn said, her voice seemed strangely distant and muffled. He could tell someone was

trying to communicate with him, but he could not comprehend what was being said. Then, when he tried to speak,

he realized his throat was so parched that he could barely utter a sound.

As soon as she noticed something odd about his behavior, she swiftly grabbed his arm. Her voice rang with phony

concern as she spoke, "Collie, what's wrong? You don't seem in good shape."

He swallowed his saliva and managed to get some words out of his dry throat, though they came out hoarse. When

Colton turned to look at Evelyn, his dark eyes glinted, but his vision was so blurry that he could only make out a

hazy outline of a person. Nevertheless, he was no fool, and after some reflection, he deduced that everything that

had transpired was a ruse. I've been on guard, but when have I been drugged? At that moment, he reached out to

push her away, and though the drug had rendered his entire body weak, he was strong.

As a result of the push, she staggered backward and nearly fell to the ground, but a wall was behind her, and she

could maintain her balance with her fumbling hands. Her eyes were brimming with tears when she looked at him

and uttered, "Collie, I'm worried because you look sick."

Suddenly, Colton painfully pinched himself on the arm, and the pain momentarily brought him to his senses. His

brilliant, unclouded eyes slowly ascended and settled on her. Then, he warned in a stern tone, "Evelyn, what did you

do to me?"

Fear etched itself across Evelyn's face as she sobbed, "Colton, I-I did nothing. I wanted to let you know that my

mom has decided to adopt Nicole." There was a pause, and tears began to well up in her eyes. Then, as if she had

a sudden recollection, she continued, "I brought you here because mom hasn't made up her mind. I was worried

others might overhear our conversation, so I needed to speak with you privately."

While listening to her, he became distracted and unable to concentrate. Soon, he attempted to use pain to drive

away the fog that had settled over his mind, but to no avail; the pain had lost its power to counteract the drug's

effects.

A gleam of triumph lit her eyes, but she persisted in her actions while she drew nearer to him and said, "Colton, you

look pale. Are you okay? Should I call a doctor?"

At that moment, his chest tightened, and he pushed her away as he fought for air. Then, while clenching his teeth in

rage, he seethed, "Scram."

Despite being pushed away, her eyes remained teary, and she continued to inch closer.

When Colton began to experience waves of heat surging through his body, he realized he had been given an

aphrodisiac. An expression of remorse flashed across his face as he bit his lip. Darn! When did I get drugged? After

giving it some thought, he reasoned that the food he had eaten earlier had been laced with the drug.

When Colton began to experience waves of heat surging through his body, he realized he had been given an

aphrodisiac. An expression of remorse flashed across his face as he bit his lip. Darn! When did I get drugged? After

giving it some thought, he reasoned that the food he had eaten earlier had been laced with the drug.

Then, he bit his lower lip firmly. Even though I've been cautious, I seem to have walked right into her trap. I never

thought a lady as virtuous as Evelyn would resort to such a dishonorable tactic. For a moment, his thoughts seemed

to clear, and his eyes seemed bright, but then, as if the drug were particularly potent, a layer of sweat covered his

face.

On the other hand, Evelyn saw a side of Colton she had never seen before.

Sweat dripped from his forehead, and his pale cheeks were flushed with a brilliant red as if they were glowing. His

tall, muscular frame was slightly hunched forward as he supported himself with one hand on a nearby tree and the

other on his chest while gasping for air.

When she got her hands on the drug, she was worried that it wouldn't do what it was supposed to. Therefore, she

decided to test it on two dogs, and the drug had an instantaneous and potent effect on them. She flushed as she

thought of it.
