"Chloe, I'm left with no other option. Can you please do this favor for me?" Nicole gazed up at Chloe earnestly, her weary eyes now alarmingly red, with teardrops sliding down from the corners.
On the other hand, Chloe held back the words she was about to say. She understood that Nicole was holding back tears, protecting her last vestiges of dignity. "Alright, I understand," she conceded as she closed her eyes with a resigned sigh. It seems there is no alternative at this moment.
After hearing this, a bright smile blossomed on Nicole's face.
In the meantime, Chloe's gaze lingered as she took in the sight. It was the first genuine smile she had seen from Nicole since then. The previous smiles had been difficult to witness, appearing more coerced than sincere.
"I'll prepare it and bring it to you tomorrow morning," she said, swallowing her emotions as she spoke. She left the room, wondering why Nicole had to endure such suffering. She also pondered why Nicole refused to reveal who had cast the voodoo on her—she wouldn't let that person escape easily.
After Chloe departed, Nicole picked up her phone and dialed a number she hadn't called in a long time. "Zach, I might need your help," she said.
Meanwhile, at the Gardners' Villa, Colton had locked himself in his room for a day and night, isolated since returning from the research center.
Evelyn stood outside his door, knocking vigorously. "Colton, could you meet me just once? I need to talk to you," she shouted with an ear-piercing scream.
The butler next to her shook his head, concerned for her well-being. "Miss Wrenn, you should rest. You might be able to endure this, but think about the child you're carrying."

What a waste of reading! This could have been an excellent novel if it hadn't skipped chapters after 531 and then everything is garbled. Get your act together if you still want a reading audience!!!...
