Joseph was held in Nicole’s arms, and he cried more and more fiercely.
He missed his mother.
But Mommy was bad!
It was even worse that the elder brother had disappeared and his whereabouts was unknown. He didn't
dare to mention his mother's name or think about her. He was afraid that he would be sorry for the
elder brother. However, facing Nicole's tolerance, Joseph didn't know how to express his thoughts, just
feeling aggrieved and wanted to cry.
“Auntie, daddy hates my mommy, right? I dared not mention it. I knew she was a villain, but I really
miss her.”
Joseph was crying heavily.
The strength that he pretended for days, in this moment, had collapse completely.
Nicole hated Riley.
Without her, Lucas would not have been lost, and she would not return after such a long period. But
Riley was Riley, and Joseph was Joseph.
In Nicole's mind, Joseph and Lucas were both four-year-old kids.
The child was innocent. What's more, he treated Lucas with sincerity. For Lucas, he even regarded his
mother as enemy.
How could Nicole be censured by his temperament?
No one could choose their own parents, right?
Nicole gently patted Joseph's back and said softly, "She has given you life and brought you into this
world. She is a mother and a guide for you. You don't need to forget her. No matter what she did, she
did not give up a mother's responsibility for you, which is just enough to let you remember her for life.
Joseph, no matter what she has done to Lucas and me, and even to others, you just need to remember
that she is your mother. Now she is no longer here, gratitude and resentment will disappear
spontaneously. You can miss her. It doesn't conflict with your friendly attitude towards me, Lucas and
Zoe. You don't need to blame yourself or feel guilty. After all, that is not your fault. Though she is your
mother, you don't have to atone for her faults. You are still a child. You should enjoy your childhood and
grow up well. You just remember her good to you.”
Hearing Nicole’s words, Joseph looked up with a lump in his throat.
“Auntie, don't you hate her?”
"I hate her. Because of her, I have lost my son now; because of her, my family is a mess. But Joseph,
as I said, you are not her, I will not be angry with you. Even when I saw you, it reminded me of Lucas. If
you are willing to, I will be your mother in the future, and I will treat you like Lucas. "
"Really?"
Joseph's eyes were looking straight at Nicole. There was an indescribable desire and pain in his eyes.
“Of course.”
Nicole reached out his hand and gently dried Joseph's tears.
The child touched her too much, and he was kind-hearted. Just looking at his sincerity towards Lucas
was enough to convince Nicole of treating him with heart.
"Mommy!”
Joseph bumped into Nicole's arms and cried.
"The boss allowed me to take good care of you and be filial to you for him. And he asked me to protect
sister well. I can do it. Really, I can really do it. These days I learned skills hard from Yan instructor. I
will not let you and sister encounter danger again. But I really miss boss. The boss will be back, right?
He will come back! He's my brother! He won't leave us alone! I call you mommy for him. As long as he
does not come back, I will be your son one day. In the future, you can beat me and scold me. lf I make
any mistakes, you can punish me. "
"Silly boy!”
Nicole's eyes were wet.
For Joseph and Lucas.
That silly boy!
‘How would you think you'll live better without Mommy?’
‘How would you think that anyone could take your place in Mommy's heart?’
‘Mommy just wanted you to come back to me!’
Nicole's felt painful in her heart, and because of Joseph's words, she missed Lucas more.
He had been missing for a long time. It was said that he shed a lot of blood when he disappeared. She
didn't know where the child was now and how was his life?
Why hadn't he been home for so long?
Wasn't he a computer genius?
Wasn't it to say that he can quickly send position to parents?
Why was there no information at all now?
Did someone intercept the signal?
Or did he have no chance to send a distress signal?
Nicole now really wished to hear about any news about Lucas. She was nervous and anxious, but
looking forward to it.
Her son was not an ordinary person, but why didn’t he contact them?
Lucas knew her telephone number. Why didn’t he contact her?
Nicole's heart was in a mess. Joseph couldn't help crying. They were crying heavily.
After a while, she managed to calm down.
"Well, no more crying. You don't have to be filial for Lucas. In my mind, Lucas is Lucas, you are you.
From now on, you are my son. Joseph, don't have any psychological burden. Mommy just wants you to
live happily and grow well.”
"Mommy!”
Joseph hugged Nicole tightly. He cried out of breath, but calmed down gradually.
After two people talking about something, Joseph said in a low voice, "Mummy, sister seemed to be
bad again."
"What bad again means?"
Nicole felt her heart in her mouth.
Joseph puffed his nose and said, "I don't know. When I was in St. Petersburg hospital, sister was very
weak. Later, Daddy stopped the doctor giving her an injection and asked me and my grandmother to
take my sister out of the hospital, but those people just didn't let her go.’
“What?”
St. Petersburg hospital was Allen's hospital. Over the past five years, he had taken good care of Shen
Zoe. According to Allen's current thought, isn't it better for Samuel to take Zoe away?
Why did he keep Zoe from leaving?
Nicole suddenly remembered what Allen had said.
She used to think that it was Allen's angry words to intimidate her. Did Allen really do anything to Zoe?
Nicole's heart tightened suddenly.
"Do you know where the doctor's office is?"
"Yes, I'll take Mommy here!”
Joseph jumped out of his chair, holding Nicole's hand and going to the doctor's office.
These two guys were walking light that no one found them.
Soon, Joseph arrived at the doctor's office with Nicole.
The door of the office was not closed tightly, and the conversation between Samuel and the doctor
came out from time to time.
"Mr. Green, Miss Bush is too dependent on the original drugs now. I'm afraid it is not easy to eradicate
them completely. However, if she continues to use the original drugs, she may not be able to recover
forever. Moreover, her kidney failure is so rapid that it will even be difficult for the immortals to save
her.”
Hearing doctor's words, Nicole covered his mouth.
How could it be?
Wasn't Allen responsible for the original medicine?
Why did Samuel change it?
And what did the doctor mean?
Joseph wanted to open the door of the office, but Nicole shook her head and stopped him.
The two of them stood listening beside the door.
Samuel's brows were tightly knit together. It was very difficult.
"Are there no other ways?"
“Now Miss Bush's body is spasmodic. It seems like a drug addiction attack. If stopping using the
original medicine, I'm afraid Miss Bush can't endure it. If it's a normal person, it's feasible to quit it
compulsively. But now Miss Bush is too weak. I'm afraid... ”
The doctor's words let Samuel's eyes suddenly squint up.
“What did you mean? Did you mean there was something in the original drug that made her dependent
on it? What was it? "
He grabbed the doctor's collar, his eyes were cold, but his hands were trembling.
The doctor was Mike's subordinate. Naturally, he knew the relationship between Samuel and Mike, and
he also tried his best to treat Zoe. Now seeing Samuel, he sighed and said, "Mr. Green, I found
morphine in Miss Bush's blood. It was used for relieving pain at first, but it would not be applied to
children in normal hospitals. But this kind of material existed in Miss Bush's body, obviously that it has
accumulated over the years. Now I've heard that Mr. Green has invited many experts around the world
to cure Miss Bush. I hope the experts could give you an accurate answer at that time”
"Morphine! You meant that bastard Allen injected morphine into my daughter from childhood?”
Samuel's voice suddenly rose up.
Nicole's heart was also stabbed suddenly.
Allen?
It was Allen!
At one time, he was her benefactor, rescuing her from the fire, and provided Lucas and Shen Zoe with
the best care and arrangement, and even had done a lot of things for her in the past five years.
Although the kidnapping case exposed the other unknown side of Allen, but she still believed that it
was her who gave him the wrong impression and her coldness that made him out of control.
From heart, Nicole did not intend to blame Allen, or even felt that it was her had hurt him.
But now what did she was hearing?
Allen injected morphine into Zoe!
And it had been more than a year.
In other words, Allen didn't intend to help Zoe survive at the beginning, right?
Why?
Why was that?
Where was the man who used to be perfect enough to make her feel self-abased?
How could he be such a devil?
Nicole didn't dare to believe it, even more couldn't believe it. If what the doctor said was true, who was
responsible for this?
It was her!
She failed to protect her daughter. She gave others the right to hurt her daughter!
But she never knew that she might even be an accomplice of Allen!
At this moment, Nicole almost couldn't keep her legs.
Was this reason why Samuel insisting leaving St. Petersburg hospital with Zoe?
She thought of Allen's words again.
“Lucas was missing and probably dead,” he said. “Whether the operation is successful or not, I want to
spend my life with you, and give birth to our own children.”
It turned out that he was not just talking about it.
For so many years, he never regarded Zoe and Lucas as his own child. How could he bear the
salutation of Godfather and expectation from kids?
