"Hello, may I ask who you are looking for?"
It was a woman.
Nicole frowned slightly.
The old she might have directly hung up, but now she had learnt to be calm.
"Where's Samuel? I'm his wife."
Nicole's voice was neither loud nor low.
Obviously, the woman froze for a moment. Then, Nicole heard someone shouting, "Samuel, a call from your wife."
Not long after, Samuel ran over.
"Nicole."
Samuel was panting.
Nicole wanted to say that she missed him, but she suppressed it because of the woman who picked up the phone.
"Who is she?"
Nicole felt like a jealous little woman, but she didn't want to hold back her emotion. She was indeed jealous!
Samuel froze for a moment. He looked at the person beside him and whispered, "A technician here. My clothes were wet just now. I left my phone outside. I didn't mean to not answer your phone."
"Is that so?"
Nicole intoned purposely, but she didn't say anything else.
Samuel sensed that Nicole was in a bad mood.
He walked out of the room with the phone and went to a quieter place outside, whispering, "Video call?"
"Alright."
In the end, Nicole did not say anything else.
Samuel invited Nicole to a video call, and Nicole answered it directly.
Samuel was only wearing a short sleeve. Nicole could see his strong chest muscles beneath the clothes. Her face was a bit ugly.
"Is the technician pretty? Also, what did you do? Wet clothes?"
Nicole frowned slightly. Seeing her questioning expression, Samuel immediately burst into laughter.
"Are you jealous?"
"Yes."
Nicole admitted it. She didn't want to pretend that she wasn't jealous.
Samuel smiled even more.
"I'm happy."
"Don't change the subject. You haven't answered my question yet."
Nicole pouted. She refused to let go of the question.
Samuel quickly changed the angle of his phone. Then, Nicole saw a tall woman guiding the technicians to type with the computers.
Nicole was slightly surprised. She didn't expect Samuel to be so direct. Seeing that the woman wasn't Samuel's type, Nicole heaved a sigh of relief.
"Why were your clothes wet?"
"It's raining, darling, and I didn't bring an umbrella with me."
Samuel replied very seriously.
Only then did Nicole nod her head.
"Alright, I forgive you for the fact that your phone was picked up by a woman, but I don't want to see it happen again. Otherwise, I'll let you try the feeling when my phone is picked up by a man."
"No!"
Samuel immediately became nervous.
"I promise that next time, even if my phone gets wet, I won't let other women touch it."
"That's more like it."
Only then did Nicole let out a sigh of relief.
After checking what Samuel was doing, Nicole whispered, "I miss you. When are you coming back?"
"It will take about a day to settle the matter here. I haven't found Olivia's father yet. It's much more complicated than I thought."
Samuel knew that Nicole and Olivia were best friends, so he was trying his best to help.
Seeing that Samuel was busy finding Olivia's father, Nicole hurriedly nodded and said, "Alright. Take care. I'll wait for you to come back."
"OK. You can go home if you're too bored. Don't mind the media. Anyway, when people know about the things Elvis has done, everything will be over. Besides, I'm always with you."
Samuel knew that Nicole could never stay still for long. It was truly hard for her to stay in the hospital all day and pretend to be sick.
Nicole nodded her head and said, "Mom told me to go over to eat. Why don't I stay at Grandpa's for two days?"
"That sounds good."
Samuel was naturally happy when he heard that Nicole was going to Edwin's place. After all, he could guarantee her safety in the military compound. With relatives around Nicole, she could be less harassed.
Nicole thought of Petty and whispered, "Petty is back. She's living in the Green's now."
Samuel was silent for a while. Then he said, "I don't intend to forgive her easily."
"It's up to you. Anyway, she's your sister. It doesn't matter to me even if you don't recognize her as your sister for the rest of your life."
Samuel knew that Nicole was provoking him. He couldn't help but sigh, saying, "You are always so tolerant of my family. Do you know how sorry I am seeing you like this? If it wasn't for her, you needn't go through all this. You shouldn't have suffered so much."
"But I'm fine. On the contrary, we got Elvis because of her. It's better than having someone behind us all the time, setting us up, right? Besides, she is pregnant now. She needs to keep a good mood. She used to live like an orphan, and she couldn't even see the mother she longed for the most. She only had you—her brother, and she couldn't recognize you. Actually, she has been living a very difficult life."

What is it with Chinese authors.
