"Samuel, where are you going?"
Lillian called out to Samuel. It seemed that Samuel did not hear it or spared no time to answer because he was too hurried. In short, he just went out without more words.
When Nicole got up, Samuel was already gone.
Pregnancy made her a little lazy.
After she got up, she lingered in the bed for a while before she went downstairs. She saw Lillian and the servants rushing to clean the room.
"Lillian, just sit there. They are paid. Do you want them to resign?"
Nicole was in a good mood and could not help but tease Lillian.
Hearing this, Lillian felt a little embarrassed.
"I just can't sit here and do nothing. Samuel and you are so kind to Petty and me. If I don't do anything, I always feel like I am a good-for-nothing. I..."
"What are you talking about? How could you be a good-for-nothing? You are our elder. Now what you should do is to enjoy yourself. Don't mind these chores. The Green family has servants. Don't tire yourself out, or Petty will be distressed and we will also be sad. Oh right, is Petty up? I woke up late today."
Hearing Nicole's words, Lillian hurriedly said, "Petty is a little sleepy and isn't up yet. By the way, Samuel got up early in the morning and made breakfast for you. I'm warming it up, and I'll fetch it now."
As she spoke, Lillian wanted to stand up, but was stopped by Nicole.
"Wendy, bring over the food that Mr. Green has prepared."
"Alright, Mrs. Green."
Wendy nodded and went to fetch the food.
Nicole couldn't help but ask, "Has Samuel eaten yet?"
"No, he received a phone call just as he finished cooking for you. Then he hurriedly went out and even had no time to wear a coat."
Nicole paused for a while.
"Did he say anything?"
"No, he left with no words."
Nicole was a little worried and quickly dialed Samuel's number.
"What happened? I heard that you left early in the morning?"
Where Samuel was now was a little noisy. When he heard Nicole's phone call, he said, "Wait a moment." Then, he found a quiet place to continue the chat.
"Are you still there?"
"Yes!"
Nicole replied as she ate her breakfast.
Samuel looked at his watch. It was already nine o'clock.
"You just woke up?"
"Yeah, I'm a little lazy today."
Nicole didn't hide that from him.
Samuel sighed and whispered, "You should eat first. I'll tell you later."
"What exactly happened?"
Nicole was a little anxious.
"Have your breakfast, and I'll tell you after you finish your meal. Take your time."
Seeing that Samuel insisted on that, Nicole did not ask more. She directly put the phone aside and concentrated on eating.
Looking at the way they got along, Lillian felt a bit touched.
Nicole did not pay attention to Lillian. After finishing her meal, she drank another bowl of soup and burped.
When he heard her burp, Samuel smiled, "Are you full?"
"Yes, I can't take another bite. Can you tell me now?"
Nicole felt that Samuel was really troublesome. He didn't tell her the piece of message until she finished the meal.
Samuel's good mood immediately dissipated.
"It's nothing serious. Jacob had a car accident. He's in the hospital for a rescue now. I'm still waiting."
"A car accident? Is it serious? Why did the car accident happen? Didn't he drink in our cellar? You also prepared a guest room for him. When did he leave?"
Nicole's series of questions made Samuel sigh again.
"I don't know when he left. I just finished cooking for you and then received a call from the hospital. He was taken to the hospital by an ambulance. I called Olivia and sent a message, but she didn't reply, nor did she come. It's been two hours. Jacob is seriously injured this time."
As Samuel whispered, Nicole felt uncomfortable as if something was blocking in her chest. She suddenly understood why Samuel insisted that she finish her meal and then talk about this matter.
"Perhaps Olivia's phone's dead, so she didn't see the phone call and the message? They've been such a nice couple. How could she not go to see Jacob?"
As Nicole spoke, Samuel did not refute. However, Nicole could feel that Samuel did not believe in such a coincidence.
Actually, she wouldn't believe it, either.
"I see. Stay there with Jacob. I'll take a look at Olivia."
"Let Ernesto follow you."
"OK."
Nicole hung up and felt a headache.
Olivia shouldn't break up with Jacob at this time, right?
Thinking of this possibility, Nicole felt a little worried.
She pushed the chair and stood up.
"Are you going out?"
Hearing the content of the phone call, Lillian couldn't help but ask when she saw Nicole acting like this.
Nicole nodded.
"Yes, I'm going out. Lillian, if you do not have things to deal with, you can go to your room and have a rest. You can also ask Petty to make an appointment with a doctor to see if there's anything wrong with your body. Samuel and I will be busy recently, so we probably won't have much time to check on you."
Nicole was afraid that Lillian would not feel at home, so she hurriedly said this.
Lillian shook her head, "I'm an old woman. I can get by with whatever I've given. I don't want to be your burden."
