Chapter 423 Calm Down
As Harvey knew how serious the situation was, he told Nicole to use a simple mix of medication to ease the condition through an injection. It could help ease Colton’s problem if it wasn’t so severe. Unfortunately, if it was serious, there may not be any effects.
On the other hand, Nicole could only do all she could and give it a shot. Luckily she had stayed at the Gardner’s Residence for a short period and knew where their medicine box was.
She followed Harvey’s instructions dutifully, retrieved the medications, and mixed them. By the time she returned to the room, Colton was still in the bathroom.
The sound of the water in the bathroom was deafening, and it seemed to be flowing endlessly.
She knocked on the bathroom door and shouted, “Colton Gardner, I have some medication for you. Harvey said that it would get better after this shot. How are you feeling?”
She waited outside for a while, but there was only the sound of water inside and nothing else. She patiently yelled again, and still, she received no answer.
She had a feeling that something was amiss. Did he pass out in the bathroom? What if something untoward happens to him? At the thought of this, she set aside everything and rushed in. In the end, Colton was sprawled in the bathtub, and his hand was holding his groin area.
Despite the mist drifting in the air, it could not hide his private area, which was completely exposed in front of her eyes.
Dumbfounded, she felt as though the bottom of her feet was glued to the floor, and she couldn’t move an inch.
There was no doubt that Colton was undeniably gorgeous, and under his usual suit and tie dressing was a masculine body filled with testosterone.
The outlines of his muscles were graceful and bursting with beauty. Half of his dark hair was wet, and the water droplets flowed along his hair, dripping slowly on his body. This scene was more attractive than the models in films.
A hot flush washed over Nicole’s face, and she nervously looked away. Then, she simply grabbed a towel from the rack and covered his lower body.
At the moment, Colton was wholly taken over by his desires, and it didn’t affect him at all when he saw someone approaching him. As he raised his head, he showed off the beautiful outline of his neck.
Nicole wanted to give him a jab, and she raised her leg, ready to walk forward. Alas, she had only taken one step when the person in the bathtub reached out all of a sudden and pulled her in.
It was worth mentioning that the bathtub in this house was huge, and there was still space after fitting two grown adults.
She was utterly caught by surprise, so she paid for it by drinking a mouthful of water. Before she could recover, his passionate kiss was already on her lips.
His kiss made her breathless, and she stretched out her hand to shove him aside, but he trapped her in a firm, iron grip like a metal chain, and she couldn’t get out of it at all.
“Colton Gardner!” she screamed in an attempt to awaken his senses, but his body merely drew closer and closer. It was so close that she could feel a particular part of his body that was definitely far from flaccid.
His eyes were scarlet, and he wanted to rip off her clothes with his bare hands, but she couldn’t escape from his arms at all.
She glanced at the syringe in her hand, toughened herself, and stabbed it into his arm. After the shot, he finally recovered his senses, and a slight hint of composure was visible in his eyes.
Nicole immediately let out a relieved breath as she hurriedly crawled out of the bathtub while he loosened his hold on her.
As Benedict’s birthday party was today, she had put on a slightly fitted dress. Thus, the dress clad her body tightly after a soak in the water, silhouetting her perfect figure.
She looked a little pathetic, but fortunately, her makeup wasn’t thick, or else she would be a sea monster at this point.
She peered at Colton, who was still sitting in the bathtub and felt frightened tremors assaulting her body from the incident earlier, and asked in a shaky hush, “Colton, a-are you okay?”
He didn’t say a word and simply sprang up directly from the tub, startling her so much that she staggered backward.
