Samuel had to manage to control his desire. After all, Nicole was not very well.
Nicole was stunned for a moment because Samuel did nothing to her, but she could feel his body was tense and shivering.
"Samuel?"
Samuel sighed and hugged her tightly in his arms. He whispered, "Not now. You need a few days to recover."
Nicole's face turned red.
She almost forgot how weak she was.
Then they kissed and touched each other for a while. Nicole looked much better than yesterday.
She wanted to go out for a walk. Ashley agreed because she thought it was good for Nicole to have some fresh air. Moreover, she missed her child. So she gave Nicole a full body check-up and left.
Nicole went to the back garden with Samuel.
They could only see white snow in the garden because it was snowing these days.
Samuel tightened her coat.
Nicole let her little face out and smiled, "In ancient times, it was said that emperors planted wintersweet for their beloved concubines. Do you want to plant some for me?"
"Alright."
Samuel agreed at once.
"I mean you do it in person."
"No problem."
Samuel was doting.
It made Nicole thought that if she said she wanted the stars in the sky Samuel would agree to get them.
She beamed with satisfaction.
Nicole leaned against Samuel's arms and whispered, "They won't grow because it's winter now. You can do it in the following spring, then we can enjoy the blossoms together next winter."
"Okay."
Samuel agreed all his wife's requests.
Nicole was so happy that she felt it was like an illusion.
Seeing Nicole was tired, Samuel asked with a soft voice, "How about I get you back on your bed?"
"No, I like here. It makes me feel like I'm still alive."
These words were heartbreaking for Samuel.
"Viola is dead."
Samuel knew Nicole still deeply cared about that even though she had never asked him.
Indeed, Nicole paused for a moment, but she didn't say a word.
Nicole had tried to get along with Viola but failed as Viola became wicked and obstinate.
Nicole moved in Samuel's arms and said with emotion, "I've been left alone. My father, my mother and my sister all passed away. I must be a jinx if I were in ancient times."
"Totally nonsense."
Edwin's voice came from behind, stunning Samuel and Nicole.
Nicole wanted to get up, but Edwin stopped her.
"Stay here. You're so weak. Weaker than an old man like me."
"Grandpa."
Nicole was depressed.
But Edwin laughed.
"Look at you. Like a spoiled child. But it means that you're getting better. Thanks to Samuel."
Samuel's face was somewhat flushed.
"Grandpa, let's go in. I'll make you a cup of tea."
Samuel showed great respect for Edwin.
"OK."
Edwin entered with Steve's help. Nicole was about to walk in, but suddenly Samuel held her and carried her in.
She flushed, and everyone was smiling at her.
So Nicole hid in Samuel's embrace.
Feeling her shyness, Samuel smiled.
Seeing they had affection for each other, Edwin felt relieved.
Edwin asked Steve to take out a box. Steve gave it to Nicole.
"Grandpa, what is it?"
Nicole asked curiously.
"Open it."
Edwin wore a faint smile.
Samuel got Nicole on the sofa. Her nose was a little red from the cold, which made her very cute.
Nicole opened the box and was stunned for a moment.
It was a ginseng!
However, Samuel's expression changed.
"Grandfather, it can be over a hundred years, right?"
Such a ginseng was out of supply in the market.
Nicole was confused.
Joseph came over as he heard their conversation just as he came in.
He picked it up and observed. After sniffing it, he smiled, "It's a good thing. It can make Mommy stronger. But you can't overeat. One ginseng fiber for a day."
"Well, well. So we get a knowledgeable man here. Tell us, how old is it?"
Edwin laughed when he saw that Joseph liked it.
Joseph smiled embarrassedly and said, "It can be four to five hundred years."
After he finished speaking, Nicole was shocked.
"Four to five hundred years? Grandfather, this is precious. I can't take it."
"What nonsense are you saying? That's why I give it to you. It's unsuitable for an old man like me. It would be wasted if I put it away. So just ask the servants to simmer it. I will be happy only when you get better."
Edwin said with a smile, but Nicole's eyes were wet.
