Chapter 1184 Luring Out the Voodoo Bug

After getting all the things she needed, Nicole put on protective clothing and started to operate on him. She knew Rita was concerned about her and wanted to have other doctors assist her, but voodoo bugs were bizarre creatures. Even if other doctors were present, they probably wouldn't be of much help either.

She tied Colton's hands and feet for fear of him struggling. After getting everything started, she began to perform acupuncture on him according to her memory. To insert the golden needle into his acupoint, she had to first use silver needles to seal his circulatory system so that the voodoo bug could be forced out as soon as she inserted the golden needle.

In his early years, White had started out as an alternative medicine practitioner, so Nicole was most proficient in acupuncture skills during her apprenticeship with him. Therefore, she already knew the positions of all the acupoints on the human body by heart.

It took her about half an hour to seal all the acupoints on Colton's body. As she looked at the still-unconscious man, a hint of yearning flickered across her eyes. It was recorded in medical books that if the voodoo bug were to be transferred to a different host, the new host might die instantly as a result. She had already come up with a way of dealing with this, but she dared not be 100 percent sure that she would be alright. And besides, Colton had been infected with the bug for such a long time; no one knew what would happen to him after the bug left his body.

Due to Evelyn's selfish act of feeding Colton blood to lure the voodoo bug, the bug had grown faster than normal in his body, causing him to enter into such a state earlier than he was supposed to. The medical books didn't contain any detailed records of such a case, nor did they mention if he would be left with any complications after regaining consciousness.

Nicole was somewhat afraid to think about it, but her hands moved with great dexterity. Taking out a scalpel, she made a small cut on Colton's wrist before proceeding to make a cut on her hand. Her eyes darkened for a moment as she watched the man lie in bed. Then, she pressed the emergency button beside his bed. Once she pressed this, someone would enter in ten minutes. Whatever the outcome will be, somebody's going to clean this up. I don't want to die. I want to be with Colton and Hayden.

She slowly let out a breath and took a 12-inch long golden needle out of her purse. Then, focusing her eyes on the acupoint, she thrust the needle into it with all her might. This, coupled with the fragrance of the heated herbs in the air around them, soon caused the voodoo bug in Colton's arm to start squirming. It was forced out of his system, but since there was no blood to lure it out, it merely squirmed around, unwilling to leave its host.
