After Joseph and Lucas disappeared, it was as if they completely evaporated from this world. No
matter how many places Samuel searched, how many people Jason reached out to, and even with
intervention from Tim and the Louis Family, there was still no news of them.
Swift still went to work every day to meet with different people and didn't show any special reaction.
Test results on the medicine bottle that Riley once held in her hand came out. It was a deadly poison
that would kill anyone who touched it.
But what everyone couldn't figure out was that Swift was Riley's biological mother, so how could a
mother let her daughter die?
Although many things could be attributed to Riley if she really died and everything would seem to be
over, there would be no way to find the answer anymore.
Now not only was Riley not dead, but she was also missing along with two children. Not only was
Samuel looking for them, but Swift was also looking for Riley. However, the three of them were never to
be seen or heard of again and there was no news at all.
Nicole felt worse as the days went by. She forced herself to stay strong.
The day after Lucas disappeared, she finished revising the design drawings, and then sent them to the
US head office with a computer.
The head office unanimously approved her design, and the cooperation between HJ Group and Eternal
Group officially began.
Samuel was very distressed and worried as he watched Nicole work sleeplessly. But no matter how he
discouraged her, Nicole did not stop.
Finally, four to five days after Lucas's disappearance, Nicole fell ill.
Samuel stayed with her every minute.
Nicole dreamed of fire and Lucas beckoning to her for help.
“Lucas!”
Nicole sat up abruptly, sweating profusely.
“Had a nightmare?”
Samuel turned on the bedside lamp.
Under the light, Nicole's eyes were erratic. Her body was sweaty and her face was sallow, making
Samuel's heart ache.
“I dreamed that Lucas was being burned in the fire and every inch of his skin was burning. He was in
pain. He called out, saying mommy save me. But I couldn't hold onto his hand.”
Nicole curled up as she spoke, appearing particularly in pain.
Although Samuel and Nicole lived together and lay on the same bed, Nicole couldn't sleep at all at
night after Lucas's disappearance. Samuel didn't think of anything else at all; just taking care of Nicole
was making him tired.
Samuel knew that Nicole was really worried about Lucas after hearing what she just said. However, he
had no news at all.
“I have searched everywhere in Seapolis City and I have searched every store, but there is still no
news of them. Nicole, I know you are anxious. I am anxious too. Lucas is our son and the child of the
Green Family. He will be fine.”
Nicole leaned against Samuel's arms and collapsed completely.
“The last time they hid Lucas was in a beauty salon. Where will Lucas be this time?”
“I'll check, I'll definitely check.”
“Then hurry up and go! Go! Lucas is suffering right now. He must be waiting for us to save him.”
Nicole pushed Samuel like crazy.
“Well, I'll go, I'll go. Don't worry. I'll go right away!”
Samuel dressed and got out of the bed then quickly walked out.
Nicole didn't dare to delay either. She also changed her clothes and wanted to go out, but where would
she look after she went out?
Nicole had no clue at all.
The bodyguards followed her, and no one dared to blink out of fear that something might happen to
Nicole.
Samuel and Jacob walked in the streets and alleys, and searched everywhere, but there was still no
news of Lucas.
“Mr. Green, this is unreasonable. Riley usually isn’t close with anyone and doesn’t have too many
connections. How could she suddenly become so powerful that even the Green Family, the Don
Family, and the Louis Family together couldn't find the people she hid? This is definitely not something
we could imagine.”
Jacob connected the events that happened in the past few days and told Samuel.
“I also Know that we might have missed something, but what is it?” Samuel nodded and replied.
“Mr. Green, the other party must have taken young master Lucas away to make Mrs. Green anxious.
Now I think we should guard Mrs. Green more, I'm afraid...”
Jacob's words were like medicine, and Samuel woke up suddenly.
“Go back home!”
He turned the car abruptly and drove quickly toward the Green Family's house.
Nicole walked aimlessly and even forgot to wear shoes. She walked and called Lucas’s name.
There weren't many people on the road in the middle of the night. But when they saw the way Nicole
was like, they all thought they saw a lunatic and avoided her. A few wanted to bully Nicole, but the
bodyguards behind her immediately went forward and quickly scared them away.
Nicole felt like a lonely ghost now. She lost her son and her family and felt no motivation to continue
living.
Suddenly her phone rang.
The sound was particularly piercing in the silent night.
Nicole suddenly took the phone, and when she saw Lucas's number on the phone, she almost lost it.
“Lucas!”
Nicole quickly answered the call but didn’t hear Lucas’ voice.
“Nicole, do you want to see your son? Come to a place, I promise you'll see your son. Remember, you
will come alone. If I end up knowing that you brought someone else, then I will have you see your son
die in front of you.”
It was Riley!
Nicole gritted her teeth. “Come at me! Why are you doing it to a child? Riley, you are a lunatic!”
“I'm crazy! I was crazy five years ago! Nicole, you forced me into this! Let me repeat myself, come
alone to the address I gave you. If I end up knowing that you brought others with you or if Samuel also
came, you'll face consequences. You want to know what your son is like now? Let me show you.”
Riley hung up the phone and sent a video to Nicole.
In the video, Lucas was locked in a glassware with a thin tube connected to his wrist. There was a
wooden barrel beside the tube that held every drop of blood from Lucas’ body as it dripped out from the
tube.
“Lucas!”
Nicole had a breakdown.
She sat down on the ground with tears streaming down her face.
How could she treat such a small child so cruelly?
How could she!
Riley called again.
“Nicole, have you seen it? My son needs an exchange transfusion. Your son's blood type is just right. If
you are late, I dare not promise that your son will still be alive!”
“Riley! If my son dies, I will bury you alive!”
Nicole had never wanted to kill someone as badly as this moment.
Riley wanted to use Lucas's blood for an exchange transfusion for Joseph. Was she crazy?
Lucas was so young. How could he bear it?
Nicole didn't care about anything else. She suddenly turned around and spoke to the bodyguards
behind her. “No one is to follow me!”
“Mrs. Green, Mr. Green told us...”
“I said no one is allowed to follow me!”
Nicole suddenly picked up the glass bottle from the side and smashed it, then placed the glass shard
on her neck.
“If you guys continue to follow me, I will kill myself in front of you!”
“Mrs. Green!”
The bodyguards were at a loss, and some had already started calling Samuel.
Nicole took advantage of this moment and quickly stopped a taxi.
“Sir, go to the chemical factory in the suburbs!”
Nicole's crazy look at this time made the taxi driver a little scared.
“Madam, I'm off work, how about...”
“Are you going or not?”
Nicole directly pointed the glass shard in her hand at the taxi driver's neck.
The taxi driver was so frightened that he stepped on the accelerator and disappeared instantly.
The bodyguards wanted to follow, but the taxi was too fast. When they hopped on another taxi, Nicole
already disappeared.
Samuel and Jacob rushed over quickly but did not see Nicole.
Samuel's heart was suddenly in his mouth.
“What is she? In which direction did she go?”
“Sorry Mr. Green, we didn't see clearly.”
“Asshole!”
Samuel kicked the bodyguard and quickly had everyone start looking for Nicole's whereabouts.
Something already happened to Lucas. He couldn't let anything happen to his wife.
Nicole quickly came to the chemical factory that Riley said.
After arriving, she found out that this place was just an abandoned factory.
“Riley! I'm here! You let my son go, I'll give you whatever you want!”
Nicole got out of the car and rushed in like crazy, but there was no one inside.
The barrel in the video was still there, and the blood in it was still warm. Although there wasn't much, it
was enough to make Nicole’s legs feel weak and her entire body shake.
The glassware was opened by someone. It seemed that there were still signs of Lucas’ in it, but he was
gone.
“Lucas! Lucas!”
Nicole was haggard as she sat on the ground and cried.
The entire abandoned factory was empty. Aside from Nicole's crying, there was no other sound.
When Samuel arrived, this was what he saw.
Nicole fell to the ground crying like crazy while there was the smell of blood in the barrel. The bright red
blood made Samuel's scalp jump.
“This is...”
“This is Lucas’ blood! Riley, that lunatic, wants to exchange Lucas' blood for exchange transfusion for
Joseph! Samuel, you have connections, right? Are you very powerful, right? I beg you, please save my
son, okay? Lucas is still so young. He is only four years old. His blood can't save Joseph. You are
aware, right? Right?”
Nicole grabbed Samuel and lost it.
She held her son dearly. Now that she knew what Lucas was going through, she felt worse than dying
herself.
Samuel never thought that Riley would be so frantic!
Seeing the bright red blood in the barrel, Samuel suddenly couldn't stand up straight.
“Come here, collect this blood for me and take it back, not a drop less.”
Although he knew it was useless, Samuel did it anyway. He was six foot tall. For the first time ever, he
felt he couldn't stand up straight.
