Lucas was always a sensible child, which made Nicole sometimes ignore the fact that Lucas was only less than five years old. Seeing his expectant gaze, she felt slight heartache.
Compared to his peers, Lucas had really endured too much.
She stretched out her arm and gently touched Lucas' face. She whispered, "Honey, it's been hard on you."
Lucas' eyes suddenly turned red.
He hurriedly shook his head and smiled, "It was not hard. I'm your elder son!"
The words made Nicole's heart tremble.
"But you're also my baby. It's time for me to take care of you. It's been a hard time for you, baby. In the future, let me and daddy deal with all the staff."
Nicole wanted to rub Lucas into her arms.
Lucas had been very sensible since he was young, which touched her a lot.
Lucas saw what Nicole wanted and hurriedly stopped her, "Mommy, you're still sick. When you're better, I'll let you hug me properly."
"Alright!"
Nicole felt that she had owed too much to Lucas.
Zoe smiled and said, "Lucas, can we go downstairs to find Daddy? Mommy is not well yet, and we should send Grandma and Grandpa up to see her. Maybe they have a lot to say."
At this time, Zoe was still thinking about Samuel.
It had been a long time since she had seen Daddy!
Nicole knew what Zoe was thinking. Compared to Nicole, Zoe preferred to be with Samuel.
She used to be a little jealous, but seeing her son and daughter were so healthy, Nicole doesn't care about that anymore.
"Alright, Lucas, take your sister down. Be careful."
"Alright!"
Lucas nodded.
Olivia stepped forward and carried Zoe off the bed, but she did not put Zoe on the ground. Instead, she directly held Zoe in her arms and said with a smile, "I'll go. Have a good rest."
"Alright!"
Nicole smiled.
Lucas did not overreact to Olivia's favor for Zoe. After all, it was a good thing that another person liked his sister.
"Mommy, then rest well. Zoe and I will go down first."
Lucas said obediently.
"Fine, take care."
Nicole stroked Lucas’ head and happily turned around to leave.
Shortly after they left, the Bushes came up.
Samuel did not appear. He was probably entangled by Zoe.
When Ms. Bush saw Nicole like this, her eyes immediately turned red.
"Nicole, you always keep bad news from us. You didn't even tell us about such a big thing. But we can still get your news from someone else!"
"Mom, I am sorry. But I didn't want to you to be worried about me. Besides, you are not in good health, so I didn't let anyone disturb you."
Nicole was a little embarrassed by her mother's words.
"No matter how unhealthy I am, I still have the right to know such a big thing about my daughter! A miscarriage is nothing small. You must take a good rest. What if Samuel did not take good care of you? This is about the rest of your life!"
Ms. Bush hurriedly stepped forward and held Nicole's hands.
When she noticed that Nicole's hands were cold, tears instantly flowed down her cheeks.
"Why are your hands so cold? You must still be weak! From today, I will stay here. It's up to me what you eat every day. I saw the food Samuel cooked. Although it's good and nutritious, he is not as experienced as me. My experience is much more useful than his skills."
Ms. Bush wiped away her tears as she spoke, making Nicole feel even sadder.
"Mom, I cannot make you suffer! Or I'll ask Samuel to hire a servant. You don't have to do these things."
"What? A servant is not comparable to your mom! I have been taking care of you since you were a baby. I know your likes and dislikes. Who would be more appropriate to take care of you than me?"
"I know, Dad."
Nicole smiled and nodded.
Dad Bush was very reluctant to part with Nicole, but he finally sighed and turned around to leave the room.
"Your dad is really talky today."
Ms. Bush muttered, rubbed Nicole's palm in distress and said, "You must take a good rest now. I almost had a heart attack when I heard about it. That Zama is really hateful. How could there be such a vicious woman?"
"Alright, Mom, it's all over. She gets her punishment now. Now she's sent to Capital City. She will be in prison soon."
Nicole hurriedly comforted her mother.
Nicole glared at her and said, "You were so daring! You even made such a big decision by yourself! I heard that you knocked Samuel out and went to Zama to get the antidote by yourself. Nicole, you are not a kid anymore! Didn't you know how dangerous it was?"
"Sorry, mom."
Nicole was embarrassed by her mother's words.
Samuel had already not mentioned this, but Ms. Bush started again.
"Samuel didn't say anything because he was afraid that you would be sad about that unlucky baby. But I, as your mother, should really scold you. Tell me if you were wrong in the matter. "
"Yes, I made a mistake."
"Will you be so reckless again in the future?"
"No, I won't."
Nicole lowered her head and behaved like a child. She completely followed Ms. Bush's words because she knew that her mother scolded her for her own good.
Seeing Nicole like this, Ms. Bush heaved a sigh of relief and said, "The hostess of the Greens is not an easy job. Now that Vincent is in charge, let's quit, okay?"
"Alright! I just promised dad. Samuel will work and earn money to support the family. I'll just stay at home and take care of the kids, okay?"
"That's more like it."
Hearing what Nicole said, Ms. Bush smiled. However, the tears in her eyes still made Nicole feel somewhat uneasy.
