“What!” Nicole's voice was stern.
She could agree to anything but Samuel, even if it would cost her everything.
Soseph whispered, “I want Samuel!”
“You want to die, do you? Do you really think I'm not going to kill you?”
Nicole felt like she was going crazy.
She never knew she would be cornered by a girl of eighteen.
Trying to get her to let Samuel be with others was like killing her.
After so many years of separation with Samuel, she still couldn't forget him, let alone now that he and she were more closely related.
But Soseph didn’t care about Nicole's anger, or even her power at all.
She whispered, “I only want him for three months! Just three months! I don't need him to be with me the whole life! Nicole,
is it too much for me to donate my kidney in exchange of being with him for three months?”
Nicole was stunned.
“What did you say?”
Soseph freed from Nicole's hand, looking at the distant and said, “Il am an orphan since child. I don’t know what warmth is,
let alone the taste of being loved. When I saw Samuel treated you, so kind, I am particularly eager to that warmth, and to be the apple of someone's eye. I know who I am, and I know that a man like Samuel is beyond the reach of a person like me, but so what? The god has given me such a chance, why don't I grasp it?”
Her words left Nicole surprised, but before she could say anything, Soseph went on, “If relationship is strong enough, you
will not be afraid of three months of me getting involved in. If he falls in love with me in three months, I'm sorry, I won't let him go. But my request is only for being with him for three months. He must be with me for three months, and you must not visit him, nor see him. That is my requirement.”
Soseph looked straight at Nicole.
Nicole's mind was in a mess.
She couldn't imagine how there could be such a woman as Soseph in the world.
“You could choose any man. Why do you want him?”
“I just loved him, and I couldn't think of a better man in the Seapolis City than Samuel. I can only blame you for letting me meet him.”
Soseph talked so brazenly that Nicole really wanted to slap her, but now she found herself powerless.
“Samuel is not an object,” she whispered, trying to keep herself calm. “He has his own mind. Even if I have promised you, it doesn't mean he will leave me or the children alone.”
“That is my business, and it has nothing to do with you. Promise me not to come to him within three months, and not to contact him or see him.”
Soseph's words made Nicole have no idea what to say.
To tell the truth, there was no difference between three months and a lifetime, but what choice did she have now?
Laurel called Nicole again.
“Nicole, when will you and Samuel be back? Zoe can't hold on... I...”
Nicole's hand was tight on the phone.
At this moment, no one knew what was on Nicole's mind. She even wanted to kill herself than to make the choice.
Listening to Laurel's anxious voice, Nicole whispered, “We'll be right back.”
After hanging up the phone, Soseph's corner of mouth turned slightly up.
Nicole didn't say anything, but that phone call was enough to convince Soseph that Nicole had agreed to her terms.
“What a great mother you are!”
“Don't flatter me. Soseph, it's no use promising you. Samuel is not an object, and he has his own thoughts. I can only promise you not to see him or contact him for three months. As for the rest, I can't promise you.”
“Deal. I'm not that cruel. Anyway, you saved my life, and I'm not going to look for you until Samuel and I recover after the
operation. By then, this agreement will go into effect.”
Nicole was not impressed by Soseph's words.
She looked at Soseph and asked coolly, “Can we go in for surgery now?"
“Yes!”
Soseph was ready, but Nicole couldn't leave right away.
“I have one thing to deal with. Wait for me.”
“Fine!”
Soseph was now the same girl as she was when Nicole first met her.
But Nicole felt bitter.
She didn't know what Samuel would think, whether he would blame her, or he would be angry, but she had no choice.
She couldn't turn a blind eye to Zoe's life.
She promised Zoe many things but none of them had been fulfilled. She was only four years old and had a beautiful life
waiting for her. How could Nicole deprive a child’s right to survive?
It was only three months!
She had to trust Samuel that he wouldn't change his love in those three months.
Five years had passed, and Samuel still had her in his heart. Three months would not that bad, right?
Nicole comforted herself, but no matter what she did, her heart ached so badly that she almost choked.
She had to give the one she loved most out for three months. How incompetent she was!

What is it with Chinese authors. The characters are slow, he finally opened his mouth, it took him so long just to say two words...the house keeper would have put the person out before he even spoke....is this really how people are over there..the characters are always lost in thought, they might as well live in their heads.....
