Nicole suddenly woke up to the fact.
She had just said that she was going to be with Samuel, that she was going to be a woman worthy of Samuel, and how could she be overcome by these difficulties when her daughter was waiting for her to stand up and accompany her, and her son was waiting in some unknown place for her to come to her rescue?
She was Nicole!
Five years ago, the fire had not taken her life. What was the matter of such a setback now?
Nicole suddenly had a lot of courage.
“Mom, I know what I have to do.”
Nicole's eyes were clear.
She was still very worried and sad, and even wanted to accompany Zoe in the operating room to know what kind of pain she would go through on the operating table, but at this moment, she knew better what she should do.
Laurel smiled gratified.
“I'll buy you something to eat. I'll let Joseph stay with you.”
"Yes!"
Nicole didn't refuse.
She really wanted to follow to the operating room, but as Jacob led all the experts to the operating room, Nicole turned and went back to her room.
Joseph's brows knit together. He didn't know Mommy was sick!
Joseph followed Nicole as she returned to the hospital room.
"Mommy, are you really sick? What's the matter with you?"
Joseph was worried, looking straight at Nicole.
Nicole laughed and said, "Mommy's okay. Mommy's just tired and wants to have a rest. Don't worry, Mommy will be all right.”
"Is there a bad man who bullies Mommy? Tell me, I'll go to teach them a lesson." Joseph said angrily.
Nicole laughed and said, "No, Mommy's fine.”
“But Grandma said you are ill.”
"Mommy is just in bad mood, and nobody can help me but myself.”
Nicole touched Joseph's head and thought of Lucas again.
If Lucas had known that she was ill, and that Zoe was in this bad situation, would he have come back?
Nicole felt hysterical.
She didn't believe Lucas was killed.
That boy would never leave her so soon, would he?
Joseph looked at Nicole and saw she was lost in thought. He knew that she was missing Lucas again.
He really hoped that he could replace Lucas. If he had let the eldest brother run away, maybe Mommy would not be so sad,
and Daddy would not be so sad as well.
The eldest brother was very clever, and he would do everything first. If the eldest brother was here, he would certainly make
everyone happy.
Joseph felt sad again.
"Mommy, I'll find out Lucas!"
"Good.”
While Nicole was talking to Joseph, Laurel came in with the porridge.
Nicole's stomach felt sick at the smell of millet gruel, but she thought of Samuel and Zoe.
She swallowed the rice porridge and whispered, "Mom, take Joseph out. I can do it alone.”
“Would you?”
Laurel was worried.
Although she hoped that Nicole would rise to her feet and overcome herself, she was still a little uneasy.
Nicole nodded and said firmly, "I can do it.”
She had her pride. As for her vulnerability, she didn’t want anyone to see it but Samuel.
What she wanted only was the one who loved her and understood her to know her discomfort and sadness.
Laurel saw Nicole's pride and nodded. "Joseph and I are right outside the door,’ she said. "If you need anything, please call us”
"Yes!"
Laurel took Joseph away with her. Although Joseph was very unhappy, he did not refuse.
When Nicole was alone in the room, her stomach was sick again as she looked at the bowl of millet gruel.
She had resisted it before she had even eaten.
She knew it was her mind that was at work.
A lot of things were flashing through her mind, especially those days on the ship, and it was like a nightmare hunting Nicole.
She shivered and trembled, and even wanted to knock the millet gruel to the ground.
But right here, she touched her cell phone.
Samuel had just bought her the phone, with a picture of the two of them on the screen. It looked like Samuel took it while she
was asleep.
Looking at Samuel's gentle eyes on the screen, Nicole's heart suddenly ached.
How could she continue to make him worry when he was working so hard and struggling to support a broken family?
As long as Samuel was here, and as long as Zoe was here, she was not afraid of anything, was she?
Nicole took a deep breath, picked up a spoon and put the gruel in her mouth.
There was still no smell, and came a hint of nausea, but Nicole tried to keep herself from running to the bathroom, and her
mind went back to the confident way Samuel had looked when she first met him.
She burst out laughing.
Joseph's brow was slightly furrowed. He was a little confused.
Laurel laughed. "The eldest son is the oldest child in the Green family,’ she said. "In ancient times, in a big family, the eldest son has to take on a lot of responsibilities and protect the younger siblings.”
"Is Lucas my younger brother?”
"Sure."
"I will find him out and protect him."
Joseph swore by it, and it was clear that this accident had matured him.
Laurel was so comforted but worried about Nicole. After waiting for more than half an hour, she finally opened the door and went in, only to find Nicole asleep.
She had eaten the gruel, and even drank some water, and now she was asleep, though not very sound.
Laurel finally breathed a sigh of relief.
At this point, Nicole could do this, which made Mrs. Green had a different view of her.
It looked like she hadn't seen Nicole through in the past five years.
She was strong and patient, knowing what to do and not letting her emotions overwhelm her reason and keeping a cool head.
Such a woman was bound to become the mistress of the Green Family, but she was afraid that Samuel, who loved her so much, would suffer for it.
But it was a matter between them too, and she had no control over it. All she wanted was for the children to be happy.
Joseph thought Nicole had fainted and asked, "Grandma, did Mommy faint? Shall I call a doctor?"
“Hush, your mommy is asleep. We should leave her alone and let her have a good rest."
"Yes!"
Joseph was relieved to hear that Nicole was asleep.
He yawned uncontrollably, but held on.
Laurel saw he was tired, and she was heartbroken and said, "Why don't you sleep with Mommy?”
“No. I'll wait for my sister to come out, and I'll see if she's all right.” Joseph said defiantly.
Laurel whispered, “Zoe's going to be fine. Just go to sleep. When she comes out, you'll have the energy to play with her.’
"All right.”
Instead of climbing into Nicole's bed, Joseph lay down on the small bed and soon fell asleep.
Laurel tucked him in and walked out of the room.
Zoe was still in the operating room, given first aid. She didn't know what the experts would say, only to see Samuel was waiting anxiously outside.
Laurel went up to him, but suddenly her eyes went black and she fainted.
"Mom..."
Samuel's heart suddenly tightened. He picked up Laurel and sent her to another emergency room.
It wasn't until then that Samuel suddenly remembered that he had overlooked one very important issue, Laurel's medical report!
