Hold on!
Samuel said "they" just now.
Who were "they"?
Did Samuel imply Zayn's mother wasn't the only one alive?
Zayn didn't expect this.
Therefore, he got expectant.
He stood up abruptly, and wanted to ask someone to investigate this, but not after a while, he stopped.
His mother must have her reasons for not telling him she was alive. If he investigated her, it would cause trouble for her.
Thinking of this, Zayn calmed down.
It was a great surprise to him, but now he didn't even know whom to share it with.
How pathetic he was!
Looking at the screen, he flipped through the contacts, but he didn't find anyone who could talk to.
He smiled bitterly, and missed Pedro very much.
Somehow, he dialed a number.
He frowned slightly, but Nicole answered before he could cancel the call.
"Zayn, what is it?"
Nicole's crisp and warm voice was like the sunshine that pushed away the clouds, which delighted him right away.
He smiled and said with great joy, "Nothing serious. I miss you, so I want to give you a call and hear your voice."
Hearing this, Nicole paused for a while.
"Zayn, are you alright?"
"I'm fine. I've been alone for a long time, so I wanted to talk with someone, but I don't know who to talk with. And somehow, I called you. After all, you're my sister, right?"
What Zayn said was all right.
Admittedly, he could call her "sister". However, to be exact, she was his cousin!
In Nicole's mind, Zayn was supposed to be as important as Tim, but Tim had helped her a lot, so she could even repay Tim at the cost of her life. However, she never felt close to Zayn.
Therefore, she kept silent.
Zayn didn't feel embarrassed, and continued, "I was always busy after returning home. I was busy fighting for power, protecting myself, deterring Santino, and expanding my influence. I hardly realize it's almost the New Year. Nicole, I haven't contacted you these days. Don't get angry with me, because I didn't do it on purpose."
"Well, it doesn't matter. You should go on your trip."
What Nicole said was a little perfunctory, so she got regretful after she finished it.
Considering Zayn's identity and position, she guessed he was trying to get closer to her, but she was not indifferent to him.
Instead, she cared about him!
She could not deny this.
Seeing that she wasn't angry, Zayn continued, "I'm busy, but I still pay attention to you. I heard you were poisoned. How's it going? Are you feeling better?"
"Don't worry. I'm fine now."
Nicole replied in a low voice.
Zayn didn't know what to say next. When he knew about this, she had pulled it through. He had planned to fly back to the Seapolis City and visited her, but he didn't for fear that he would cause trouble for her. After all, he had a special identity.
Well, he needn't mention this.
No matter what, he was glad she was fine now, and it was unnecessary to say how he worried about her.
Thinking for a while, he smiled and said, "It's almost the New Year. What do you want for the New Year? I will give whatever you want."
Nicole didn't expect Zayn to promise her a gift, so she was stunned.
"I don't need anything."
What she said was true.
Samuel loved her so much that she could get whatever she wanted. Therefore, she didn't need anything.
Hearing this, Zayn thought it was not so good for Nicole to marry Samuel, because Samuel deprived Zayn of the chance to get closer to her.
However, Zayn still smiled and said, "Never mind. I'll select it by myself. I hope you won't hate it."
"Of course not. I will like whatever you give me."
Hearing this, Zayn was pleased.
He felt that he found something else to live for.
He must defeat Santino and tried his best to protect his family so that they could be happy and safe. This was the purpose of his life.
Thinking of this, he said, "Nicole, don't come to Country F. No matter what happens, no matter what news you hear about me, don't come to Country F. When I become the king of it, I will send a special plane to pick you up."
Nicole was a little moved.
Whether he was sincere or not, she was touched at this moment.
"Zayn, you must take care of yourself."
Zayn could tell Nicole was sincere, so he felt very dissatisfied.
"Please say 'hello' to Edwin for me. Tell him I am unfilial that I can't give a big bow to him this year, but I will definitely visit him next year."
"No problem."
Nicole was about to cry.

What is it with Chinese authors.
