Morty was slightly surprised, then he smiled and said, "Sam, do you take me as your enemy?"
"Right now, I don't know who still my friend is."
Morty's expression changed.
He said seriously, "You don't need to care about what Mr. Shaw said. You and I have been through so much. No matter what you decide, and no matter what Mr. Shaw's attitude is, I always got your back."
Samuel finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank you."
"No need, bro."
Morty hung up the phone then.
Samuel was touched.
He was somewhat surprised, but he was also relieved. At least, he was not a fugitive, and the person who got a say in this matter believed him. This was enough to let him feel assured. Otherwise, even though he still had a sliver of a chance of winning against them, he might not be able to keep his wife and children out of it.
Now he could finally have a rest and have fun with his wife and children.
Samuel smoked another cigarette, and then returned to the hot spring room, only to see Nicole sleeping soundly. He was surprised and suddenly laughed out.
She was really weak.
Samuel stood up and went forward, pulled Nicole out of the hot spring, wrapped her in a bath towel, and then carried her to the lounge.
The bed in the lounge was also renovated and built over a hot spring, and people could feel the warmth when lying on it.
Samuel did not take off the towel for her and just lay down and fell asleep with Nicole in his arms.
In his sleep, there seemed to be a woman touching his head gently, with a smile on her face.
"Child, I hope that you will be stronger in the future. Although you have shouldered too many things, mom believes that you will always find a way to be happy. Life is too short and mom can't give the happiness you want. You can only fight for it by yourself. I'm sorry, son, I'm really sorry, but mom can do nothing about it."
The woman's voice was very soft, as if she was whispering.
Samuel wanted to see her face, but it was in vain. There was always so much mist around, making people feel uncomfortable. However, that voice was somewhat familiar, and it sounded just like Zama.
Zama?
Samuel felt slightly cold.
He suddenly opened his eyes and looked around. For a moment, he couldn't figure out where he was.
The phone beside him had already been turned into silent mode, and it was vibrating now.
Afraid of disturbing Nicole, Samuel picked it up and walked out.
"What now?"
Samuel sounded impatient, with a trace of displeasure and anger.
Fill was surprised for a moment and said, "The results of Ballard's test have come out."
Samuel frowned slightly.
To be honest, he didn't care about how Ballard died at all. After all, Tim was here to take care of it.
However, looking at the lounge behind and thinking about how much Nicole cared about him, he couldn't help but sigh and say, "What about it?"
"There is no doubt that Ballard committed suicide by poisoning. However, the forensic doctor detected other toxins in him, which had accumulated over the years. Even if he did not commit suicide, he would not be able to live much longer. At that time, he would die more miserable and painful than now. Therefore, Ballard should have known about it. So, in order to prevent Tim from finding out about that, he committed suicide."
Samuel frowned.
"How long has he been poisoned?"
"More than twenty years. The forensic doctor said that it was twenty-seven years, to be exact."
Samuel was surprised.
"How old is Tim this year?"
"Twenty-seven years old."
Clearly, Fill also thought of this.
Samuel put up a charming smile and said lazily, "So Ballard has been poisoned since Tim was given birth?"
"Probably. So the poisoner wasn't Bella. It was Martha."
Samuel smiled coldly.
"What a ruthless woman! Even though she didn't love Ballard at all, and even though she was just using Ballard, how could she do it now that they have married and raised a child together? Ballard probably has known about this the year after Tim was born. Or perhaps Martha didn't hide it from him at all, and that's why Ballard would cheat on her with Bella."
Samuel said slowly, and his expression became colder and colder.
Why would such a woman live in the world?
Now that she didn't want to fall in love, even if she didn't really want to have a child, how could she give birth to a child so easily?
Did she even know how to be a mother?
Somehow, Samuel was outraged.
In the past, he always disliked Tim because Tim had been coveting his wife. But considering that neither of them was born because of love, he couldn't help but feel sympathetic for Tim.
None of their birth was expected, and they had grown up in traps and tricks. It was just so pathetic.
"Has Tim undergone a physical examination?"
Fill was stunned for a moment, obviously he didn't think of that.
"Aren't we investigating the cause of Ballard's death? What does Tim have to do about this?"
However, Samuel said coldly, "Why did Martha choose Ballard as a cover? Because Ballard was the best suitor to control, and because he loved Martha the most. But as she had poisoned Ballard, who knew whether this crazy woman would harm her own son or not? After all, she has been using Tim for so many years, right? "
"No, no way. No matter what, Martha is Tim's mother. She might poison Ballard for some reason, but poisoning her own son? It is just unbelievable."
Hearing this, Samuel smiled coldly.
