Samuel's phone suddenly rang, as if he was telepathic.
He subconsciously glanced at it, finding that it was the landline number of the Bush's. Samuel couldn't help but feel a little expectant and a little scared.
'Is that Nicole?'
If she asked him where he was, how should he answer?
Samuel hurriedly took out the laptop and pretended to be very busy. He even turned on the recording of the video call, and then took a deep breath and picked up the phone.
...
"Hello," Samuel said cautiously in a trembling voice.
"Daddy!"
Hearing Zoe's sweet voice, Samuel instantly became disappointed. But he still smiled and returned, "Baby, what's wrong? Are you missing Daddy?"
"That's right. Mommy said that you went abroad. But Daddy, you promised you would take us abroad. Why did you go alone? Daddy, you are a liar."
Zoe complained.
Samuel put on a wry smile.
If possible, he didn't want to go abroad now. It was a pity that he had to swallow his suffering.
"Daddy comes out for business. I will be back soon and then take you out for fun, okay?"
"Daddy, you are lying! You said so before, and now you make the same promise. Daddy, you are a liar!"
Zoe obviously did not buy Samuel's explanation.
Samuel felt sorry for letting Zoe down.
"Alright. It's my fault. I'm so sorry. Do you behave yourself at Grandma's house?"
"Yes, I do. I don't even bother Mommy, for she is sick," Zoe said sensibly.
...
"Is your Mommy sick?"
"Yes, a woman in a white coat comes to our house and helps put Mommy on a drip. Olivia also comes to take care of Mommy. Grandma told me that Mommy was sick and that I should not disturb Mommy. I'm as good as gold. Daddy, does Mommy have a cold? When will you come back? Mommy misses you when you are away, and I miss you, too."
Zoe's words made Samuel somewhat worried.
"Are you sure your Mommy is put on a drip?"
"How can I be wrong? I heard from Olivia that three bottles of intravenous fluids would be injected into Mommy. The female doctor just left and said that she would come back later. Mommy is so pitiful. Her face is pale, and she keeps sleeping."
Hearing it, Samuel couldn't sit still any longer.
"What is Mommy doing now?"
"She should be resting. Grandma is cooking delicious food. The female doctor asked Grandma to prepare medicinal diet for Mommy. Daddy, what is it? Can I eat it? It sounds delicious."
Zoe was interested in eating.
However, Samuel only cared about 'medicinal diet.'
Blair told Samuel that Nicole was having a period.
Why would she be put on a drip?
Samuel got worried.
"Zoe, I'll hang up and give your Mommy a call, OK?"
"Alright. Mommy's sick now. I won't compete with Mom for you."
Zoe returned like an adult, and then hung up.
Samuel hurriedly called Nicole, but he hung up after he got through.
What could he say to Nicole now?
He couldn't promise her anything, and he couldn't go back to see her. Hearing Nicole's voice, he didn't know if he could bear it.
This was the first time Samuel felt that it was so difficult to make a phone call.
He thought for a moment and called Olivia.
When Olivia heard the phone ring, she was afraid that Nicole, who was still sleeping, would be disturbed, so she hurriedly took the phone and went to the balcony.
"Hello?"
"Olivia, this is Samuel," Samuel said directly.
...
Olivia was slightly shocked and asked, "Why do you call me? Shouldn't you call Nicole?"
"I heard from Zoe that she was asleep, so I don't want to disturb her. What's going on? Why is she put on a drip? Is she sick?"
Samuel's sounded extremely worried.
Noticing that he cared so much about Nicole, Olivia whispered, "Do you love your wife? If you do, why do you go abroad? Is business so important for you? Can't someone else replace you? Why do you have to go out at this time?"
Hearing Olivia's condemnation, Samuel did not justify himself.
"What happens to Nicole?"
