Chapter 1146 A Bracelet
A faint smile formed on Colton's face at the sight of her sad face. He ruffled her hair and teased, "You can just dump me if I ever forget you in the future."
Nicole wrapped her arms around his waist and leaned against his chest. The statement only saddened her even more. "I won't." She cast her eyes to the ground.
He looked down at her, and the sight of her in his arms hit a soft spot in his heart. Then, h took out a bracelet from his pocket and put it around her wrist.
Nicole felt coldness enveloping her wrist. Therefore, she cast her eyes downward, only to find a red string around her wrist. She could see a round bead tied to the string. Out of curiosity, she couldn't help asking, "What is this?"
Colton's gaze fell on the bracelet around her wrist. "Press the bead and hold for three seconds, then it'll send your location to me."
She stared at the bracelet and did as told. As expected, three seconds later, his phone received a notification. A map showed up on his phone, and the blinking red dot on the map suggested her current location.
He chuckled before explaining, "I'm well aware that I'm not in the condition to go out, and you won't allow it either. However, I'm worried about your safety, too. Therefore, I asked them to get me the bracelet. Nicky, press the bead on your bracelet if anything happens. I promise I'll be there for you."
She caressed the bracelet around her wrist affectionately. Colton's gesture put a smile on her face. "I will."
The voodoo bug was bound to weaken its host. However, his regular exercises ensured him a fit body. Therefore, he was rather fine other than having a pale face.
He wouldn't be in danger as long as he avoided Evelyn. The medicine kept the voodoo bug in his body at bay, preventing it from becoming a nuisance if he ever left the medical base.
However, Nicole was worried to let him go out on his own. Thus, he decided to stay in the medical base to spare her such worries.
"Colton, once you've recovered, can you stay in Durobrivae a little longer?" All of a sudden, Nicole grabbed him by the wrist and looked into his eyes.
Colton nodded. "Sure. I trust Tony to handle the company's affairs. We can stay however long you want."
She began to ponder. A solemn expression fell on her face. A few moments later, she started, "Master single-handedly established the medical base, but Gina had the audacity to mess it up. I want to take it back and make some adjustments."
The medical base was White's lifework. After giving birth to Hayden, Nicole didn't have extra time to manage the facility. Therefore, she entrusted Gina with the medical base.
Gina always behaved like a harmless woman when spending time with White and Nicole. She showed no ambition at all. However, it turned out Gina wasn't fit to manage the facility. She ruined the image and reputation of the medical base! Now, one needs only pay to gain access to the place.
Even though Gina gave her the data, Nicole could tell that the data was fake from one glance. Though, she decided not to call Gina out for her perfunctory. Gina will put the medical base under the manipulation of capitalism one day if things go on like this. I must stop her!
Humming in agreement, Colton nodded before adding with a smile, "White worked hard to build the facility from zero. As his student, you're responsible for looking after the medical base for your mentor. Don't worry; I'll stand by your side until the end."
His promise warmed Nicole's heart. Moved by his gesture, she nodded. She tightened her arms around his waist as she leaned against his chest. His familiar scent soothed the beating of her heart and calmed her down.
I wish everything would stay like this forever, she thought.
