Right Person, Wrong Time novel Chapter 1169

Chapter 1169 Almost Strangled to Death

Finally, there was a spark in Colton's soulless eyes, and he turned to Evelyn, pressing his lips together.

Evelyn reached out and wanted to touch him, but he shoved her hand aside when she came close.

As she wasn't expecting Colton would turn her away so roughly, she was utterly caught off guard and fell on her bum. She yelped in response while a look of disbelief appeared on her face as she hissed in resentment, "Collie, why are you still turning me away? Is it because of Nicole?"

He rose to his feet as the veins on his forehead popped. He appeared as though he was trying hard to control himself, and his eyes were spitting fire when he glared at Evelyn, snarling, "Get lost!" His hoarse voice was so fierce that it sent a shiver down her spine.

She jumped in fright as she scurried to her feet. Just when she was about to approach him yet again, his tall and big frame moved towards her, and she saw his bloodshot eyes. Then, he grabbed her by the throat and slowly tightened his grip mercilessly, as if he was going to squeeze the life out of her.

It never occurred to Evelyn that things would turn out this way, and she parted her lips to call out his name, but no voice escaped her throat because he was strangling her. Tears were forced out from the corners of her eyes, and she clawed at his hands, trying to yank them off. Unfortunately, it was as though Colton was immune to any pain as he continued exerting more force.

Slowly but surely, she felt her limbs turn heavy and she could barely shove him away. Her fair face flushed crimson due to lack of oxygen and her eyes shimmered with tears. Then, she choked out with great difficulty, "C-Collie, let me go. Y-You can't live… if I die…"

Alas, her words fell on deaf ears, and Colton continued choking her, his eyes cold and murderous.

She could feel the energy being sapped out of her body as the seconds ticked by and he showed no signs of stopping, she genuinely thought she was about to die in his hands. Just when she had lost all hope and given up struggling, Colton's huge frame suddenly shook. As her mind felt muddled due to suffocation, she couldn't even react when he suddenly crumpled to the floor in a fetal position. She could only watch dazedly as he cradled his head with a pained look on his face as he let out a monstrous growl from the depths of his throat.

The moment he released his grip on her nape, she felt alive again. She slumped on the floor as she gasped greedily through her lips as she wanted nothing more for oxygen to return to her lungs right that instant, thinking fearfully, Earlier… Just a little more and I would have… Collie almost strangled me to death.

Although the man was clearly suffering unimaginable pain at the moment, she didn't dare to try her luck and approach him. Instead, she retreated several steps. Meanwhile, Colton curled into a ball in agony and soon, the light in his eyes went out and he passed out completely.

Evelyn sat on the floor for a long while before slowly regaining her senses. She slowly curled her fingers around her throat in disbelief and took a glance at Colton, who was unconscious on the floor. He was murderous and violent mere minutes ago, just like a devil that had crawled straight out of hell.

Alas, her words fell on deaf ears, and Colton continued choking her, his eyes cold and murderous.

She had to admit that she was terrified. Although she liked him, she did not like him to the extent that she was ready to sacrifice her life on the line for the man. After he fainted, she didn't dare to test her fortunes. Instead, she scrambled out of the room like a bat out of hell while she gave Ryan a call.

As she was strangled, she sounded croaky when she spoke. Her brows knitted tightly together when she heard her voice. Still, she forced herself to forge out, growling, "Didn't you say that Colton will listen to everything I say after he drank my blood? Why did he almost kill me earlier?"

Ryan naturally sensed the blame in her voice. Nonetheless, he didn't take it to heart as he chuckled and teased, "Miss Wrenn, everything has to be done progressively. Even though the voodoo bug can help you control someone, there will be resistance if you immediately ask him to do something against his wishes and his rationale will return momentarily when that happens."

She couldn't help but shudder in fear when her mind replayed how Colton went berserk earlier. However, she breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Ryan's reassurances and nodded. "I understand."
