Don't Try to Escape, My Wife! novel Chapter 821

"You, and the children."

Nicole's voice, with tenderness, rushed into Samuel's heart like a warm current. It sounded warm and comfortable.

"Do you think, as a man, I would need your protection?"

"But I just want to."

Nicole leaned against Samuel's chest, wishing that time would stop at this moment.

And so did Samuel.

He hugged Nicole tightly, who had risked her life for him for several times, as if they weren't going to be separated anymore.

"Alright, my life is yours now. Take good care of it, as well as your own."

"OK."

Nicole nodded.

They hugged for a while before Samuel let go of Nicole and said in a low voice, "Forget about the Brook family. Let's talk about Adela."

"Was her body found?"

Nicole was excited.

Samuel shook his head, his expression somewhat gloomy.

"What's going on?"

Nicole had never thought that Samuel would not be able to find Adela. Now that Laurel had been arrested and the rest of the Millers were to be investigated, even if there were a few that might have got away, they would too busy fleeing to carry a corpse with them.

It was impossible for Night Elf Empire to miss Adela, but Samuel's expression suggested that it had not been the case.

Seeing Nicole's anxious face, Samuel comforted her and said, "Calm down. Listen to me."

"What the hell is going on? How can I calm down? After all, Adela is my friend. And Laurence loves her. I promised to help him find Adela. What happened exactly?"

Samuel hurriedly said, "I kind of found her."

"What do you mean by 'kind of'? Did you find her or not? What's going on?"

"Relax. Listen to me, huh?"

Samuel poured a cup of cold water for Nicole, then sat in front of her, pondered for a moment, and said, "When we found Adela, her body had already been half cremated."

"What?"

Nicole almost jumped out of rage.

Samuel said in a low voice, "It was Laurel's order. She planned to put everything to a dead end by destroying the corpse, but Mrs. Miller and Professor Miller refused to hand over Adela's corpse to her. In case Mrs. Miller and Professor Miller were forced to resist her, Laurel compromised for the time being. But when you and Laurence went in to look for Adela's body, Laurel took the opportunity and asked someone to steal it. In her plan, she was going to set you up and let you take the responsibility, and then she would burn the corpse secretly so that as long as she insisted that you were Adela, no one would dare to refute."

"This wicked old witch!"

Nicole was ready to explode.

"Adela was from the Miller family anyway. How could she be so ruthless?"

"She is less than human. Humans have hearts, but she does not."

Samuel remembered his father's death and felt so sad, but he didn't show it in front of Nicole, in case that she would feel sad, too.

"She wouldn't come to a good end, right?"

Nicole knew that many things had been decided since Laurel had been arrested. However, just as Laurel had said, with the Miller family's network being so wide and complicated, could Laurel be sentenced to death?

Samuel knew what Nicole had meant and said coldly, "Don't worry, she can't escape. Laurel has even been involved in some illegal activities outside the country and harmed the interests of the country. Even if she has great abilities, it is impossible for her to get away with that. This time, she is doomed."

"That's good. I don't know how many people she has harmed in her life, but I'm sure they won't be able to rest in peace if she doesn't get the punishment she deserves. Oh right, has Laurence known about Adela?"

"I've already asked Cara to call him over."

Thinking of Laurence, Samuel couldn't help but sigh.

"I'm afraid that Laurence won't be able to recover from it in his lifetime."

"One step at a time."

Samuel comforted Nicole when he heard the voices of Laurence and Cara coming from outside.

"Slow down, Laurence. Even if Mr. Green is looking for you, you don't have to walk so fast, right? He's not going to give you money after all."

Nicole and Samuel were surprised to hear that. Then, Nicole smiled and said, "I quite like that girl."

"We'd better not draw any conclusion first. I just hope that she wouldn't be like Maia."

Nicole paused for a while.

'Yeah, don't be like Maia. I don't know how Tim is doing. Maia had dealt him a great blow. Recently, he had been staying at home to accompany his mom. Maybe I should make a phone call to ask about them the other day.'

Just as Nicole was thinking, Laurence knocked on the door.

"Come in!"

Laurence opened the door of the ward directly.

"Have you heard from Adela?"

Laurence was extremely nervous and anxious.

Cara was surprised and subconsciously asked, "Who is Adela?"

Laurence instantly glared fiercely at Cara.

Even though Cara had seen how terrifying Laurence could be, she still felt so scared now that her blood was about to freeze.

Nicole coughed to break the ice.

"Laurence, don't frighten Cara. She's a good girl."

Laurence then withdrew his gaze.

Cara felt as if she had just come back to life. Panting heavily, she quickly walked over to Nicole.

"Mrs. Green, I..."

"Later, Cara."

Nicole patted Cara's hand.
