Chapter 1271 Nicole Is Saved

When Ryan received the text, he contemplated telling the one behind this. Not long ago, someone had reached out to him, inquiring about Nicole's condition with a clear emphasis on her survival. Since then, his anxiety had grown, as he was cautious about the force behind the unknown person. Moreover, that mysterious person seemed to possess an uncanny knowledge of his circumstances, capable of incriminating and leading him straight to jail. Despite his reservations, he decided to candidly share the information he possessed.

'Why do you suddenly want to know about Nicole's condition? Have you regretted your actions?'

When he saw that the other had received his message but had not replied, he finally let out a sigh of relief. There were times when receiving no reply was the best news.

The message informed her that Albert had concluded his research ahead of schedule. After learning about Nicole's condition, he hastened his return. However, they needed Chloe to send him all the voodoo-bug-related research documents so that he could prepare in advance and hopefully find a cure for Nicole once he arrived at the research center.
