Jacob left, but Samuel did not come in. He knew that Nicole was in a bad mood. Anyone who encountered this, could not calmly accept. Like her, it was better. At least she was not that depressed.
Samuel comforted himself, but still felt the pain.
He wanted to smoke, but refrained.
When Laurel came in, she saw her son like this and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with you? Did you quarrel?"
He shook his head and said, "I would rather we had a fight at least so she would not shut herself off.”
"Give her time. Any woman going through something like this would be devastated. I will tell Joseph not to bring Zoe here in these days. Let her rest in peace, and that is what the Green family owes her.”
Laurel was also a woman and she knew that what a blow it would be for a woman to lose her child and then have something like this happen to her.
"If she is still sad, I will comfort her. Okay?"
Laurel was satisfied with this daughter-in-law.
He shook his head and said, "We can take care of this by ourselves. Mom, don't worry about us. When I get the results of your physical exam, whatever it is, you are going to follow my instruction.”
Laurel smiled and shook her head.
"So much has happened to you. Don't worry about me. Let's wait until the results come out.’
After Laurel left, Samuel was left alone at the door again.
He stood here and kept looking in. But it was quiet that he felt uneasy.
“Nicole, are you still here? Nicole?"
Samuel was distracted.
He started knocking, but no one answered him. He was so scared and opened the door, seeing that Nicole was retching on the toilet.
There was a glass of water on the table and some of water stains had spilled. Obviously, she wanted to drink water, but she could not stand vomiting again.
Samuel felt sorry for her.
He quickly stepped forward and patted her back, hoping she would feel better.
"If you really can't stand it, give it up. And don't make things difficult for yourself. The doctor also said that we have to treat this disease with patience. I will ask the doctor to give you some nourishing liquid first. Can we treat it little by little?”
Nicole panted and sat straight down on the floor. She looked at Samuel and said, "How long? A week? A month? A year? I can't let myself go on like this and I have to stand up on my own. I have Zoe and have to find Lucas. Also, I want to stay with you for my whole life. However, I don't want to accompany you in my current state. I have my pride, do you understand?"
There were tears in her eyes.
She tried her best but why she could not recover.
Why?
This sense of failure made her defeated.
She didn't want to be his burden. She wanted to walk side with him, and could tell everyone in public that she was the wife of Samuel and was worthy of him.
However, everything was bad, made she powerless.
Samuel knew her pride.
He picked up her and walked back to the bed, whispering, "I can give you time to pick up your pride and get you back to where you were before. But Nicole, you should remember that you can't hurt yourself. Promise me, okay? I feel sore when you hurt yourself, do you know?"
"I can't overcome it unless I face it.”
“What happened? Could you tell me? I will overcome with you by your side!”
Samuel was sad to look Nicole like this.
She was strong.
But it hurt Samuel as she took all the pain herself.
"If you bear the pain yourself, it would crush you down like a mountain. But if you share it with me, you will feel much easier. We are family. What else cant we share? Or do you think I will abhor you?"
Samuel did not want to shout at her but he could not control himself.
Now Nicole had shut her feeling from others and did not listen to anything unless one day she opened her mind to Samuel again.
She did not speak, just sat there biting her lip, with tear in her eyes.
He suddenly relented.
And he could not be harsh with her.
He hugged Nicole tightly and whispered, "Please tell me what should be done?"
Nicole tightly held him and wanted to apology, but she felt helpless.
The gloomy vibe almost overwhelmed him when his phone rang.
He took out his phone and saw it was Mike. Then, he let go of Nicole and said, "I am going out to answer a phone call.”
“Ok’
Nicole did not stop him.
Samuel hung on the phone. He suddenly felt that it was more complex in America. Thanks to Mike, it was hard for Samuel to deal with this thing.
He also didn't know if Allen knew that Nicole was missing. Allen would probably not give up her.
Samuel immediately called Jacob in and let him strengthen the security system.
After doing this, everyone was nervous, even Nicole too.
She knew that Allen and Samuel could get along with each other.
In fact, after learning the truth of Allen, she could not treat him like before. But five years ago, he saved her and also taught her children, she could not forget.
Nicole forced herself to drink several times, and then had been throwing up over and over again. At last she collapsed completely.
Samuel did not say anything. Although he was concerned about Nicole, he could not stop her.
She was stubborn.
Samuel knew her character five years ago. Otherwise, she would not have been into him for these years and never looked back.
But he was concerned about her.
After Nicole threw up, Samuel took the trouble to carry her back to bed and then wiped her body, and even let the doctor give her nourishment when necessary.
After three days, Nicole had no spirit at all, and her condition did not even improve.
She looked at Samuel, hopelessly said, "Do you think I am being unreasonable?”
“No, just do what you want to do. I have told you that I will stay with you."
In these three days, Samuel also lost his weight. Although he tried his best to keep his best condition in front of Nicole, he was in bad spirit.
Lying on the bed, Nicole said weekly, "Hire a psychologist to help me.”
Finally, she answered Samuel's request.
Although she wanted to solve the problem by herself, she failed.
She felt Samuel's caring. In these three days, she was in bad spirit, so did Samuel.
She didn't want to continue to torture them.
If there was no Samuel by her side, she could insist on for three days and even a month. But now she found that she cared about him and didn't want to him to pine away for this.
This was not what she wanted.
