Nicole hurried to Joseph and Zoe.
Zoe slept soundly and did not hear anything. Joseph was more alarmed and woke up. When Nicole
came over, he opened his eyes.
“Mommy, what's wrong?”
Nicole stopped Joseph, told him to put on his clothes and take Zoe to the inner room.
Joseph found that Nicole was nervous. And at this moment, the weird sounds outside also made him
nervous.
“Is he a bad person?”
“Probably!”
Nicole said in a low voice. She quickly picked up Zoe and her blanket. Then she carried her into the
inner room.
Joseph looked around and then ran to the bathroom to get a basin of cold water.
“What are you doing?”
Just as Nicole came out, she saw Joseph carrying the basin with difficulty. So, she went forward to take
it over.
Joseph pointed to the basin and then pointed to the top of the door. Nicole instantly understood.
“You want to put this basin on the door”
Joseph hurriedly nodded.
“It's cold at night”
Now Nicole knew that Joseph was also a little bad.
She walked over gently, stepped on the stool and put the basin on the door. Then she quietly retreated
to the room inside with
Joseph.
Joseph asked in a low voice, "Mommy, what should we do if that person comes in?”
“Beat him with anything you could get. As long as he comes in, we'll beat him up until he escapes”
Apart from this stupid method, Nicole didn't know what else they could do.
She really wanted to call Samuel or Jacob now. But unfortunately, she had taken down her phone and
thrown it into her room.
Now she could only see the danger approaching. And she was unable to protect her children. At this
moment, Nicole felt that
she was so useless.
“Stay inside and don't go out. Do you understand?”
Nicole decided to wait outside alone. No matter what, she can't let anything happen to her children.
Joseph didn’t agree. But Nicole whispered, "You have to think about it. Zoe is not in a good condition,
so nothing can happen
to her. Joseph, this is a difficult task.
You must protect her. Didn't you promise Lucas that you would take good care of Zoe?”
“But I also promised him to be good to you:
Joseph found himself in a difficult situation.
Nicole touched his head and smiled, “It's okay. I'm an adult, so I'll be alright. You just need to protect
your sister. I will be fine.”
“But.”
“Alright, the people outside are coming in soon. Don't speak anymore”
Nicole got sharp ears.
She quickly stuffed Joseph into the inner room. Then she held an ashtray in her hand and kept it
behind her back for the
person.
The sound of footsteps was getting closer and closer. And the lock on the door was twisted slightly.
Nicole's heart went up to her throat. She held the ashtray tightly and held her breath. And her forehead
was covered with cold
sweat.
The door slowly opened under the hard work of the person outside.
Then, the door was opened from outside.
And a basin of cold water fell on the person.
Nicole did not see who it was. When she saw the water falling on the person, she just smashed the
ashtray towards the
person's head.
“F**k you, bastard!”
She made her move quickly and ruthlessly!
The man let out a loud cry. Just as he was about to dodge, Nicole slipped and was about to fall. And
the man supported her.
At this moment, the ashtray had directly gone to the man's forehead.
“Ah!”
The man groaned in pain. Some warm blood gushed out of the wound.
Nicole did not dare to stop. The next second, she lifted her leg and kicked towards the man’s crotch.
She hoped that could
destroy him.
However, the man successfully grabbed her foot and shouted in a low voice.
“Nicole, it's me!”
The familiar voice made Nicole stunned.
Meanwhile, the man turned on the light.
Nicole looked at Samuel, who looked miserable. And she was stunned for a moment.
How could it be Samuel?
Samuel was wet from head to toe, just like a drowned chicken. He was in a sorry state. The smash
wound on his forehead
was eye-catching. It was dripping with blood, and a little dizzy to look at.
“Samuel? Didn't I tell you not to come back?”
After seeing that it was Samuel, Nicole became very anxious. She threw away the ashtray in her hand
and turned to find a first
aid kit for him.
Samuel was so aggrieved.
He never thought that he would be treated so cruelly when he returned at midnight.
“What are you doing? Where are the bodyguards at the door?”
Samuel looked at the ashtray that Nicole had thrown away. It was stained with his blood. He just felt
painful and uncomfortable
to see it.
Nicole was so ruthless that she almost got him a concussion.
Nicole didn’t have time to explain to Samuel what was going on. She brought over the kit and nervously
said, “Come in. It’s
cold outside. Change your clothes. I'll bandage your wound. Hope you won't get tetanus.’
Seeing that Nicole was so nervous, Samuel could not ask further. Moreover, the cold water made his
body very cold, so he couldn't help but shiver.
“Who came up with this stupid idea?”
Samuel rubbed his nose and asked sullenly. And it scared Joseph into silence.
God, if he knew that it was Samuel, he wouldn't have the nerve to plot against him like this!
Nicole did not dare to say anything, either.
She allowed Joseph to do that. If she knew it was Samuel, how could she agree?
Seeing Nicole being silent, Samuel stopped asking. He sighed and went to the bathroom to take a hot
bath.
Nicole ran back to her room and brought Samuel's pajamas over. Then, she looked at the wound on his
head and felt a little sad and guilty.
“Does it hurt?”
“Yeah”
Samuel wanted to say no. But when he saw Nicole's worrying eyes, he suddenly became aggrieved
and said yes.
“It's your fault. Why didn’t you tell me when you came back? I thought you were a bad person.
Otherwise, how could I have
attacked you?” Nicole said gloomily.
Then she got Samuel to sit on the bed and gently blew on his forehead.
Samuel felt his heart soften.
Nicole's breath was warm. It brushed across his forehead like goose feathers. And it seemed to
penetrate through his skin to
his heart. It made him itchy, but he couldn't help wanting more.
Samuel subconsciously held Nicole's hand.
“Don't move!"
However, Nicole was very serious now. After shouting at him, she quickly got the first aid kit and took
out the iodine. Then she
began to apply medicine to Samuel.
“Hold on. It will hurt a little”
Nicole's voice and movements were very gentle. And she treated Samuel like a child.
Looking at her anxious and worrying expression, Samuel felt very warm.
“Nothing, I don’t feel any pain now:’
“How could it not hurt? There is a big wound. It’s my fault for being so ruthless”
The more Nicole looked at Samuel, the more she felt that she was unforgivable.
Why did she attack so heavily?
Fortunately, Samuel grabbed her foot. Otherwise, she didn't know what she would do.
“It's fine. You should be quick and accurate when dealing with bad people. You did a good job”
Samuel began to praise Nicole.
Nicole said embarrassedly, “I didn’t know it was you. I thought it was a bad person when I heard the
weird noise outside, so...”
“Alright, alright. It's not your fault”
Samuel said gently.
Nicole couldn't say anything right now, so she tried her best to bandage Samuel's wound.
Joseph poked his head out and looked at Samuel. He said in a low voice, “Daddy, I did that to protect
Mommy and Zoe. Don't
blame me, okay?”
“What did you do?”
Samuel asked with a faint smile.
Seeing the smile on Samuel's face, Joseph felt relieved. Then he ran out and said proudly, “I put the
basin of water on the
door! I know it's cold at night. If it was a bad guy, he would suffer from the cold water. How about it?
Daddy, am I smart?”
After saying that, he even jumped in front of Samuel proudly, hoping to get his praise.
However, Samuel grabbed his ear and said, “Good boy, so it was your idea! Did you know that the cold
water almost froze
me?”
“Daddy, please forgive me! I didn’t know it was you!”
“That won't do, either! If you don't learn good things, you'll be doing all these evil tricks. You..”
Samuel said a lot.
It made Joseph depressed.
“Mommy, help!”
Joseph started to ask Nicole for help.
Nicole just went to put away the first aid kit, and they started to have problems, which really surprised
her.
“Samuel, what are you doing? Joseph is still a child. How can you be so violent?”
Nicole rescued Joseph from Samuel's hands.
Joseph rubbed his ears and said unwillingly, “Daddy, you're too biased. Mommy said that she didn't do
it on purpose, and you
didn’t say anything. You even said that she did it well. But why did you treat me differently? Am I not
your son?”
Samuel glanced at him and said coldly, “Can you compare with your mommy?”
“Why can't I?"
Joseph argued.
Samuel looked at him and said, “Are you a woman?”
“No!”
“Are you my wife?”
“No!”
“Then why did you want me to treat you like that?”
Samuel's words hurt Joseph's feelings.
“But I am your son!” Joseph said with a wrinkled face.
“When you grow up, you'll build a new family. Only my wife stays with me. Why don't I love her? You
are a man. You must
practice your skills well. And it's better not to play with these girly things”
After Samuel said that, he didn't care what Joseph thought in his heart. Then he said to Nicole, “Put
him down. I won't beat him. Besides, the little boy has to fall and fail until he grows up to be a man”
Joseph couldn't bear it and cried out, which broke Nicole's heart.
She glanced at Samuel and said, “You may sleep alone tonight.”
After she said that, she carried Joseph into the inner room, leaving Samuel to be speechless.
What the hell was this?
He had got such great hurt, yet he had to sleep alone?
