Don't Try to Escape, My Wife! novel Chapter 454

Laurel never expected herself to face such a choice in her life. Samuel wasn't here, and she was Nicole's mother-in-law. What should she choose?

"Laurel, this is serious. You'd better ask Samuel to come back."

Jason said.

Nicole was his niece, so of course he cared about her. Besides, everyone knew what it meant for a woman to lose her uterus.

Nicole was so nice that she shouldn't suffer from this.

Even Jason, who had always believed in Samuel, couldn't wait to get Samuel back now.

Laurel didn't know how to explain it away.

If she knew where Samuel was, she would definitely ask him to come back. However, she didn't know.

Jacob and Olivia looked at Laurel too. Although they didn't say anything, their intention was obvious.

Laurel felt stressful.

"I'll go call Vincent and see if he can contact Samuel."

She walked away to make the phone call.

She was eager to find Samuel.

While talking on the phone, she asked Vincent to have his subordinates in the Night Elf Empire to find Samuel. Vincent agreed and asked how Nicole was doing now.

When he knew Nicole's condition, he whispered, "Mom, Samuel is off the radar. Could it be that something has happened to him?"

"Impossible. Nothing will happen to Samuel. Hurry to find him."

"Alright!"

After hanging up the phone, Laurel discovered Lucas standing behind her.

She didn't know when he moved here, and felt distressed at sight of his worried face.

"Lucas, don't worry. Your mommy will be fine."

"What about daddy? Why can't we find him? I contacted him online, but he didn't reply to me. He never did this before."

Lucas’ little face puckered.

Mommy lay between life and death, but daddy didn't show up. Lucas told himself to be strong and calm, but he couldn't. After all, he was just a child.

Laurel knew Lucas was worried and hugged him in her arms.

"It's fine. Your mommy will be fine, so will your daddy. God will bless them."

However, soothing statement was useless now.

As time passed, everyone was burning with anxiety.

Tim stood still outside the operating room, as if his feet were nailed to the ground.

Jacob went out to buy some food, but none of them had any appetite.

Time was passing, and Gabrielle still didn't come out. Only the nurses kept taking blood bags in. Everyone felt tortured by anxiety.

The operation lasted for more than ten hours, and everyone got a little tired.

"You guys can go home. I'll wait here."

Tim's voice was hoarse.

Jason shook his sore neck and said, "I'll stay too. Lucas is a child, and he has been waiting here for so long. Laurel, you should take him back and get some rest."

There was no news from Vincent.

Nobody thought that Samuel could come back now, and Jacob was slightly uneasy.

He had been calling Samuel all along, but the phone was off. He even contacted Samuel through codes used in the army, but still got no answer.

Something was wrong!

However, he couldn't say it now.

Olivia noticed his uneasiness, but she didn't ask because all she cared about now was Nicole.

Lucas insisted on staying. He was quiet and behaved well. He was so sensible that everyone loved him more and felt sorry for him.

Fourteen hours later, the light went out and the operation was finally over.

Gabrielle walked out wearily. Blair stepped forward to support her, but she pulled away.

Although she didn't say anything, Blair knew that Gabrielle was blaming him.

That was right!

If the person inside the operating room was Gabrielle and no one told him about her illness, he would probably be angry.

However, although he understood it, he couldn't take risks with Samuel's life.

Blair admitted that he was selfish.

Anyway, he just didn't want Samuel's life to be ruined. Even if Gabrielle didn't understand, Blair didn't regret it.

He sighed and stood aside, fixing his eyes on Gabrielle in case that she would drop with overwork.

Gabrielle rarely did such a major operation.

As soon as she came out, everyone got nervous and dared not to ask.

It was as if something bad would happen once they asked. They looked at Gabrielle with hope in their eyes, which gave Gabrielle a lot of pressure.

"The operation was very successful. Nicole is in stable condition and her fever is gone. However, she needs to stay in the ICU overnight for observation. She may be infected and catch a fever anytime and anywhere, so someone should stay to look after her tonight. You should discuss who is better to stay."

Gabrielle's voice was hoarse and her eyes were bloodshot.
