Don't Try to Escape, My Wife! novel Chapter 316

Seeing Samuel being unconscious, Nicole felt sorry and was reluctant to part leaving. However, she got up and carried him to the bed next to Mrs. Don's, and pulled over the quilt and tucked him in.

She stared at Samuel, who was fast asleep and whispered in distress, "I'm sorry. I can't let you do it for me. I know that you would sacrifice yourself for me. But do you know that I would do the same for you? You haven't had a good rest since you were injured. Have some rest. Don't worry. I will come back."

With that, Nicole kissed him on the forehead, and resolutely turned around and left.

Finn was waiting outside.

Nicole gave him a look and Finn immediately followed. People at the door were replaced by those of Night Elf Empire.

The moment she got in the car, Nicole put on a sharp expression.

"What's going on?"

"Petty was caught. Zama locked her up and sent us a video. Look at this."

Finn played the video for Nicole.

In the video, Petty was being tortured, her body covered in blood.

Although Petty had done bad things to her, she risked her life for Zac and Nicole.

Nicole frowned.

"Nicole, this is a trap," Finn explained.

...

Nicole nodded and said, "I know this is a trap. Zama wanted to lure me into it. But how can I stand by and do nothing when Petty's life is at risk?"

Unable to answer it, Finn said, "Petty is just a bait. She ended up being caught because of her own doing. Stakes are extremely high now. You shouldn't take risks for her. Besides, Samuel isn't with you. What if..."

"Finn, we are all members of the Night Elf Empire. Petty is not in our organization, but she did this me. What would you do if our member was caught? Would you turn a blind eye to him or her? Petty wasn't one of us. But when she promised to do everything for me. I considered her to be our friend from that moment. This is my promise to her."

Words failed Finn when he heard Nicole's explanation. The way he looked at Nicole changed.

"You know it is a trap. But you insist on going. Do you have any plans?"

"Yeah. I want to use the trap for our own good. The only way to catch tiger cubs is to go into the tiger's den. Since Zama wants to lure me, I'll do it. Only in this way can she let down her guard. She'll do as she's told for her own survival. Finn, get ready and stay alert."

Nicole had planned it a long time ago.

Her plan was dangerous. So she couldn't let Samuel follow her. He couldn't be awake, either, because she knew too well that he was unable to stand her suffering.

Finn didn't expect Nicole to be so bold. He said worriedly, "Isn't it too risky?"

"We are supposed to do risky things since we belong to the empire. Will Zama make antidote if we don't take risks? Since I take over Night Elf Empire, have I done anything that is not risky? As long as everything is planned, it will be fine. I believe you."

Nicole was firm as she looked at Finn.

Finn changed his view of her.

At the beginning, he really hadn't liked Nicole. Although she was the successor, Nicole was weak and she couldn't fight. Even though she was trained in the base for a period of time, she wasn't very good at fighting.

Besides, it was Samuel who made the plan. Nicole contributed her efforts, but Finn felt she was like Samuel's puppet and that the Night Elf Empire was annexed by Eternal Group and Samuel had the final say. Finn even wanted to call Vincent and ask him to come back to settle it.

But now, Nicole's reaction was beyond his expectations.

She was courageous and responsible, which he greatly admired.

Nicole was indeed a competent leader.

Finn's attitude had changed dramatically.

He whispered, "Vincent has arrived at the Seapolis City. He is ready to help at any time. Plus, if Lucas wants to take part in it..."

"He won't take part. Lucas is the successor of Night Elf Empire, but he is still young. I hope he can grow up safely and happily. As for complicated things, he will learn how to deal with them in adulthood. I don't want my son to be exposed to these things too early. I hope he can grow up as other children. Training is fine. He doesn't have to do other things except training."

Nicole said calmly. But Finn could tell she was distressed.

In the past four years, Lucas had been living an unstable life. Although Allen treated Lucas well, he wasn't Lucas' parent. Nicole wanted to provide a better environment for Lucas, but it was hard.

Allen was good to Lucas, but his love was not the unconditional love of parents.

When Lucas returned to the Green family, he finally had a life of a four- or five-year-old.

Nicole didn't allow anyone to interfere with Lucas' life. She wanted to protect him to the fullest extent.

Finn nodded.

They arrived at the location that Zama had told them quickly. Petty was caught here.

It was a suburban area far from the city. If Zama hadn't informed them, Nicole would never have thought Zama, a dangerous person, hid in that such an ordinary residential area.

If Nicole had searched for Petty herself, she wouldn't have found the area.

The moment Finn drove in, Zama got the news.

She looked at the surveillance video and sneered. "They are finally here."

Nicole knew that she was being watched by Zama.
