Don't Try to Escape, My Wife! novel Chapter 607

"Old Mrs. Green, you can't accuse me of something I didn't do! Mrs. Green! Mrs. Green!"

Petty quickly shouted.

"Cover her mouth and take her away!"

Laurel hastily gave the order.

The people around Petty immediately covered her mouth and dragged her away.

Laurel sneered, "I can't? I will tell you I can with my actions! Do you think I am stupid enough to let you inform Samuel? You and Nicole are not in charge here. I'm not dead yet."

Petty blustered, but no one could hear her when her mouth was covered. Besides, Nicole was still sleeping.

Nicole was tuckered out.

The injuries on her arm and back exhausted her. She had a lot on her plate, but she really wanted to take a nap.

Petty offered her some sense of security, because she could fight. However, Laurel caught Petty off guard and had her under control.

Laurel said to her men, "Take out those who have sided with Nicole and betrayed me. They must never set foot in Seapolis City again."

"Yes!"

Laurel had fought in the business world by herself for so many years and managed to take the Greens where they were today. She definitely had some tricks up her sleeve.

Everything changed while Nicole was sleeping.

"Mommy! I'm back! Samuel! I'm home!"

Lucas' voice came from outside.

His voice was so crisp and perky, from which one could tell he was eager to see his parents.

Laurel frowned slightly and said to her men, "Go and bring Lucas to my room. Don't make any noise. Just say his mother is injured and resting. Tell him to keep it down."

"Yes!"

Her men immediately got to it.

Just as Lucas entered the living room, he was stopped by Laurel's men.

"Lucas."

"Move aside. I want to see my mommy!"

Lucas just wanted to know if Nicole was okay.

One man said respectfully, "Lucas, Old Mrs. Green is asking for you. Mrs. Green got injured in the Dungeon and is resting. Please lower your voice."

"She was hurt? You said my mommy was hurt? Who hurt her? Where's Samuel? Why did he let my mommy get harmed again? No, I have to take a look."

As he spoke, Lucas was about to go upstairs.

"Lucas, I really can't let you do it. Old Mrs. Green told me no one was allowed to disturb Mrs. Green. Look, Old Mrs. Green wants to see you. She is your grandmother. Shouldn't you say hello to her first?"

Lucas was persuaded and stopped.

"I fear you are right. Fine, I'll check on my grandmother first and then my mommy. You guys take good care of my mommy."

"Yes, Lucas."

Lucas reluctantly went to Laurel's room.

"Grandma, I heard you were looking for me?"

"Lucas, you are home! Come. Let Grandma see if you have gotten thinner."

Laurel kindly waved at Lucas.

He walked to her in an obedient manner.

Laurel was quite satisfied with Lucas. Now that Joseph was sick and no one knew what would become of him, Lucas was the only hope of the Greens now.

"Lucas, you must not run away by yourself again. You are a Green and will be in charge of the family. What if your willfulness gets you into something bad? What about Grandma then? What about all of us?"

Being scolded by Laurel, Lucas said somewhat embarrassedly, "I am just worried about Mommy."

"Your daddy is taking care of her. You should worry less about her and study hard, so that our glory will live long in your hands. This is your duty, understand?"

"Yes!"

Lucas nodded but said with discontent, "Samuel always gets sloppy, and Mommy would get hurt because of it. I have to protect her."

A trace of jealousy flashed through Laurel's eyes.

Why did Samuel and her grandson both want to protect Nicole? How hateful of her!

Nonetheless, Laurel suppressed her displeasure.

She stroked Lucas' head and said, "It's great you feel obligated to protect Mommy. Don't you want to protect Grandma?"

"Yes, I will protect you as well."

Lucas was still the innocent child who didn't have a clue what was going on.

Laurel was pleased with that.

No matter what, she must keep Lucas away from Nicole. Otherwise, he might hate her like his mother.

Samuel was difficult to handle, but Lucas was the opposite, so Laurel was pretty content with Lucas.

Laurel smiled warmly, "Lucas, I need your help with something now. Can you lend me a hand?"

"What is it?"

"Your mommy's arm is injured. Your daddy is busy in the company and can't come back for now. However, there seems to be something wrong with your mommy. She needs a certain kind of medicine. Can you help her find it?"

"What happened to her?"

Lucas became nervous.
