Don't Try to Escape, My Wife! novel Chapter 625

Olivia's anxious look made it difficult for the doctor to tell her the truth.

Booth hurried forward and asked, "Doctor, how is she? Just let us know."

"Her throat can be healed, but health care here is not promising. You'd better take her to have an operation abroad. Besides, the kid she brought are always pushing us out of his world. Autism is really hard to treat. It requires the help of his family, but his family can't help, now being like this. So I think what's the most important thing now is to cure the adult. The child would have to wait."

Hearing that, Olivia said anxiously, "The child is only four years old. If he really becomes autistic, it will destroy him. He used to be very lively."

"But nothing we can do about it. You know, Miss Olivia, this is just a small town, not a big city, so...."

"I see. Doctor, please give them medicine. My family will help her get the surgery."

Booth's words stunned Olivia.

"Our family will?"

Booth put his arms round Olivia's shoulders and smiled, "Olivia, our family can do lots of things, really. Don't take yourself for an outsider. I told you. Your benefactor is mine, and your friend is also mine. Since she was kind to you back then, our family will not leave her now. Listen to me, treat her back trauma now. As for her throat, I'll ask Dad to call in experts from abroad."

"Really?"

A glimmer of hope appeared in Olivia's eyes.

"Sure. Don't worry. Leave it to me. I don't object to you staying here to take care of her, but you need to eat now."

Booth handed the food box to Olivia.

Olivia did not refuse. As long as Nicole could be cured, she could do anything.

Olivia devoured her dinner but she seemed to not enjoy it at all. Booth smiled and said in a satisfied tone, "If you need nutritional soup or something else, call me at any time and I'll ask the housekeeper to have someone to cook it."

Olivia nodded.

"Do you remember my phone number?" Booth asked.

"I have it in my phone."

Olivia didn't remember Booth's number but he had stored it in her phone directory.

Booth replied smilingly, "Alright. I'll be leaving now and ask Dad to look for an expert. Don't be too tired. If you need help, I'll find a nurse to take care of her at night."

"Oh, no need. I want to be with her alone."

Olivia didn't know what Nicole had gone through. She really only wanted to be with Nicole now.

Back then, after seeing Nicole's injuries, Olivia thought of going to Gabrielle for help, but if she did, Blair would know about it and then Samuel would also know about it. Once Samuel knew about it, he would surely come to see Nicole. However, Olivia didn't want Nicole to be with Samuel anymore.

Olivia brought Nicole back to the ward with the doctor. Joseph also came over. When he saw Olivia, he did not reject her. It really made her happy.

"Joseph, what do you want to eat? Look, this is for you."

Olivia had left Joseph the roasted pork knuckle and now she handed it to him.

Joseph took a look at it and raised it to Nicole's lips, hoping that Nicole would eat it.

It broke Olivia's heart when she saw this.

She whispered, "Joseph, be good. Your mommy hasn't woken up yet, so she can't eat it now."

Hearing that, Joseph immediately put the pork knuckle back where it was and covered it with something. It seemed like he wanted to keep it warm.

Olivia looked at him and asked, "You want to wait for Nicole to wake up and then give it to her, right?"

Joseph nodded.

Olivia felt really bad.

"Your mommy can't eat this. She's injured and sick, so she can only eat light food. Good boy, eat it. When your mommy wakes up, I'll find someone to cook for her. Don't worry. I'm here, and I'll protect you and your mommy."

Olivia gave the pork knuckle to Joseph again.

This time, Joseph only paused for a moment before picking up the pork knuckle and gobbling it up.

Olivia sent someone to buy a set of clothes for Joseph to change into, and also prepared clothes for Nicole, but the doctor didn't allow Nicole to get changed.

Nicole did not know how long she had been asleep. When she opened her eyes again, she saw the white ceiling and smelt the strange medicinal smell.

She knew that she was saved.

"Nicole, are you awake?"

Olivia hurried forward and asked.

Nicole looked at Olivia's face and her worried eyes, feeling unspeakably sad.

Nicole didn't respond, so Olivia asked in an anxious voice, "You've become stupid or lost your memory after suffering from a high fever?"

It got really busy in Olivia's head. Nicole patted the back of Olivia's hand, indicating that she was okay.

Olivia couldn't help but shed tears when she looked at Nicole.

"Tell me, did Samuel hurt you like this? Did he? If he did, I will definitely kill him."

Olivia's excitement reminded Nicole of what had happened to her.

Olivia had seen the injuries on her body, right?

What should she say?

Nicole had mixed feelings as she shook her head.

"OK, forget it for now. I didn't tell you anyone that you're here. If you want to see Samuel, I'll call Jacob. If you don't want to see him, stay with me. I'll protect you. I can assure you that even Jacob won't be able to find you here."

Nicole was so relieved when she heard what Olivia said.

"Help me find a sign language teacher. I need to express myself clearly with his help," Nicole wrote to Olivia after thinking for a while.

"Alright. I'll help you."

Olivia nodded and asked Nicole to have a good rest. After that, she left the ward.

Booth noticed that Olivia's expression was a little strange. He followed her out of the ward and saw her squatting in the corridor outside with her mouth covered, crying bitterly.

He had never seen Olivia cry like this before, so he couldn't help but take a glance at Nicole.

Nicole closed her eyes in pain while Joseph sat by her quietly.

Booth felt sympathetic towards Nicole.

He came to Olivia and patted her shoulder. "Olivia, it will pass. Don't worry. I'm here."

"Yeah!"

Olivia cried and nodded.

Olivia paid a sign language teacher to teach Nicole, who studied sign language with the teacher's help during the day and looked for a job on the Internet at night.

Olivia knew that Nicole did not want to be a burden to her, but Nicole was really too weak to work.

Booth told Nicole that she could go to his company to work as his secretary when she recovered, but Nicole declined.

What could a mute like her do in the company?

To sign with others every day?

Nicole found a job of drawing designs on the Internet.

She was an automobile designer. She was born with a keen insight into design and she had her own unique ideas about designing.

This job was to design a piece of jewelry with unique style. The pay was very high, but it required an interview.

When Nicole saw the word 'interview', she hesitated.

Would the employer turned her down if he knew she was a mute?

She had to earn a living for Joseph and herself.

Even though Olivia could help them, after this lesson, Nicole really didn't want to pin her hopes on anyone else.

She attempted to depend on herself and fight hard for Joseph's future and hers, though she was a mute now.

If she gave up this design task, she wouldn't be able to earn a living. How on earth could she make herself accepted by the employer even if he knew she was a mute?

Nicole sank into a reverie.
