Don't Try to Escape, My Wife! novel Chapter 601

"What happened?"

Nicole and Laurel immediately ran up. The moment they opened the door, both of them were stunned.

Joseph broke free from Samuel's embrace and bumped into a flower stand on the side. The vase on the flower stand fell to the ground and broke into two. Meanwhile, Joseph curled up in the corner of the wall with his arms around his knees and his head buried in his knees, feeling extremely insecure like a hurt animal.

A lump suddenly came into Nicole's throat.

"Joseph."

Laurel was also heartbroken when she saw this.

"Joseph, come here. Come to me. I love you most."

However, Joseph still did not respond to anyone no matter what they said.

He sat there like a statue, quiet and expressionless. It was really a heartbreaking scene.

Samuel walked over and squatted down in front of Joseph directly, ignoring the glass fragments of the vase.

"I know how you feel now. You can just cry. You are still a child and don't need to withhold. It's cold on the ground. Let's stand up, okay?"

Samuel's voice was soft and gentle, but Joseph didn't seem to hear it.

Nicole couldn't help but take a step forward and came to Joseph.

"Joseph, let me take you back to rest. It's really cold on the ground. Or do you want Lucas to come back to accompany you?"

Hearing this, Laurel was dumbfounded.

"Right, where's Lucas? Where did Lucas go?"

Their people said, "Young Master went to City A. We haven't heard from him yet."

"What?"

Nicole suddenly became flustered.

They were in such a mess in City A, but Lucas still didn't show up. Did he have any trouble?

"When did he leave? Send people to find him now!"

"Yes!"

After their people left, Nicole looked at Joseph in front of her and felt sorry again.

"Joseph, come to me, will you?"

Joseph resisted.

He was resisting everyone, muttering something.

Only when Nicole got closer did she hear it clearly.

He said, "I want my daddy. I want my own daddy!"

Nicole cried again.

Everyone had their reasons, but no matter what, as long as they hurt an innocent kid, they were unforgivable.

Nicole couldn't help but hug him directly. She sobbed out, "Sorry, I didn't protect your daddy well. It was my fault. Can you give me a chance to love you well? Joseph, you are the best kid in the world. Let's go to sleep now, then I will take you to buy some snacks and toys, okay?"

"I want Daddy."

Joseph kept repeating.

Laurel felt so sorry when she saw this.

"Joseph, it was my fault. I'm sorry. Actually, that person isn't your..."

"Mom, that's enough. Please go back and rest now."

Samuel interrupted Laurel immediately.

When things already ended up like this and the damage was done, Joseph would be hurt again if they told him that person was not his daddy and his daddy died five years ago.

Laurel immediately stopped.

How could she be so senile and didn't realize this?

Five years ago, they thought their plan to lure Mark out was almost flawless. Now that Mark appeared, what did they get?

Her dead son couldn't come back, and Bruce was also dead. Now, even her grandson became like this. Moreover, she didn't know if Mark was still alive. It was not worth it at all. How could she lost her mind and be so persistent back then?

Laurel seemed to be ten years older in the blink of an eye.

She trembled and wanted Wendy to help her stand steady, only to find Wendy was no longer here.

Sure enough, she also lost Wendy. Moreover, she lost Samuel's love for her.

Feeling bad, Laurel put her hand on her heart and turned around to leave step by step. Her lonely figure was pitiful.

Joseph did not have much reaction to all of this. He seemed to have locked himself in his own world, ignoring everyone and saying nothing.

Nicole felt so sorry that she didn't know what to do and looked helplessly at Samuel.

"What should we do?"

"Take him to rest now."

Samuel forcibly picked Joseph up.

This time, Joseph did not struggle. Samuel carried him to the bed easily. However, he quickly curled up at the edge of the bed, lying with his back facing everyone.

The small kid looked extremely weak, lonely, helpless, and fragile on the large bed.
