Nicole never expected to see Soseph here.
Nicole thought she was hallucinating the moment Soseph turned to look at her.
“Soseph?”
Nicole walked over, confused.
Soseph wasn't quite the same as she was a while ago.
Dressed in jeans and a leisure shirt, she looked particularly rebellious, with a touch of youthful
arrogance.
Soseph smiled when she saw Nicole's surprised expression.
“We meet again.”
“What brought you here?”
Nicole struggled to suppress her feelings and doubts, and spoke faintly.
“Do you need money? Or do you need some help? I'm afraid I don't have time to help you now, and I've
got a few things to
deal with here, so...”
Before Nicole could finish, Soseph waved her hand and said, “Don't think of me as a beggar. I'm not
here to blackmail you.”
After hearing Soseph delivered such harsh words, Nicole was momentarily at a loss as to what to say.
Because of Samuel, her relationship with Soseph had soured, and now it was a bit awkward to meet
her.
Nicole had been thinking that she might never see Soseph again in her life, but they met again at such
short intervals.
Samuel asked her to leave the Seapolis City, and apparently, she didn't plan on doing so, and neither
Samuel nor Nicole really had the time or attention to figure out where Soseph was going.
“What do you want to see me about?”
Nicole took a deep breath and spoke directly.
Instead of beating around the bush, it had better to ask directly. There was no emotion between her
and Soseph.
Soseph looked at Nicole, took out a diagnosis from her pocket and handed it to Nicole.
“Look at this first.”
Nicole was surprised.
It was a bit like the mistress who took a pregnancy test to force the wife to give up her status.
Nicole felt a little silly.
It was strange that such an idea should have entered her mind at that moment.
Nicole took the paper.
It was a diagnosis, but it wasn't a pregnancy test, and Nicole squinted her eyes.
“This is...”
“My diagnosis. I've gone to the hospital and had a match with Miss Zoe, and luckily mine matches hers
perfectly. The doctor said I could donate the kidney at any time if I wanted to.”
Soseph spoke lightly, as if talking about other people's business.
Nicole could not tell how she felt now. She thought she saw a glimmer of light on the verge of despair.
Although the light was likely to cost her dearly.
“Did you know everything?”
Nicole looked at Soseph's confident look and asked.
Soseph nodded, and she didn't hide anything.
“Yes, I know about it. I actually saw it when he took the knife for you, and I secretly followed you on the
plane.”
Nicole's eyes sank a little as Soseph said this.
She was able to sneak in their private jet right under Finn's nose, and Nicole was a little wary of
Soseph
“Who the hell are you?”
Seeing Nicole so alert, Soseph smiled, but it was a sad smile.
“What can I be? If I have a family like yours and Samuel's, do you think I'd be trafficked? I am just an
orphan, abandoned by
my parents, adopted by an orphanage, and then stolen by a burglar gang, trained to be a thief, being
watched and controlled by others, and I have to steal enough money every day to pay for food and
clothing. All my tools are just survival skills.”
Nicole just listened to Soseph without much comment.
She had been expecting Soseph to be a weak young woman, so when she rescued Soseph and let her
follow them, Nicole
felt nothing strange.
But after seeing Soseph’'s ability to survive on her own, Nicole thought that she was being too kind for
her.
A lot of people were not as weak as you thought. In this society, many people were desperately
struggling to live. No
matter who, they were working hard.
Nicole took a deep breath and looked at the sheet in her hand with mixed feelings.
It was undeniable that she now needed someone like Soseph to donate a kidney to Zoe, because it
was a chance for Zoe
to live, and Samuel needed to recuperate from his current wound. It would be best to let him feel at
ease now.
But Nicole didn't think Soseph would donate a kidney to Zoe just as she had helped her once.
That was a kidney!
No one would donate a kidney for no reason.
Nicole felt her throat tighten, but still looked at Soseph and asked, “Tell me about your offer.”
Soseph actually liked Nicole.
Although she was a very weak woman who knew nothing, she was very clear-cut, and she never beat
around the bush
about what she wanted to say or do.
Soseph looked at Nicole and whispered, “Actually, you're pretty nice.”
“So, you're going to donate a kidney to my daughter for the sake of saving your life?” Nicole asked,
knowing it was impossible, but asking anyway.
Soseph, however, suddenly smiled, but sadly.
“You did save me, but it is not enough to ask me for a kidney. I have asked the doctor that on average,
there won't be any
aftermath after donating a kidney, but some people with special constitution would have many
diseases, and even some will die after the donation. I'm risking my life to come to you, so you have to
weigh my terms.”
Soseph was right.
After donating a kidney, there will be a lot of aftermaths, some may not even be able to engage in
manual labor
If only because of that, Nicole wouldn't mind taking care of her life for the rest of her whole life.
When Nicole said that to Soseph, Soseph shook her head and said, “You know what? The doctor said
that if I donate my
kidney, there would be a possibility that when I get married and have a child, I might not be able to bear
the pregnancy, and cause my child and me to die.”
Nicole gripped the sheet tightly in hand.
She hadn't thought of that.
But now, Soseph had already come to her. Obviously, Soseph was ready to donate the kidney. But
what did she want?
For some reason, Nicole didn't want to hear about it. She had a subconscious feeling that she might
not be able to afford it.
As if recognizing Nicole's hesitation, Soseph pulled the sheet from Nicole's hand and said with a slight
smile, “It's okay if you don't want to save your daughter. I won't lose anything.”
Nicole was struggling.
She looked at Soseph and suddenly realized that this little girl was trickier than she thought.
She was so calm, so sure of herself that she thought of all the possibilities. Now Soseph just waited
Nicole to speak.
This passivity made Nicole uncomfortable, and she even felt repugnant, but what could she do?
As time went by, one more minute of hesitation increased the danger for Zoe.
Nicole had never had to make such a difficult choice.
She looked at Soseph for two minutes so long, making Soseph feel creepy. Was she really not going to
save her daughter?
As Soseph hesitated, Nicole finally gave up.
“What are your terms!” she said.
Soseph breathed a sigh of relief and her hands were covered in cold sweat.
She wasn't nearly as calm as Nicole seemed, but wondering in the society for so many these years,
she learned how to
pretend to be calm.
“I want Samuel!” Soseph, biting her lips, said word by word, “I want Samuel!”
Nicole's heart ached, but without a word, she turned away.
Soseph grabbed her arm.
“You're not going to save your daughter?”
Nicole turned pale, but said coolly, “I will not sell my love to save my daughter.”
“What a selfish woman you are! You would sacrifice your daughter for the sake of your love. Does your
daughter know that
she is not that important in your heart? Grown-ups are like that. You always say that you would for
everything for your children, but what then? You just can't stand the results! Between love and children,
you still choose love, right? Because you and Samuel are young, and you could have other children,
but your daughter spends her life on the operating table in despair. That's what the so-called mother's
love is like!”
“Shut up!”
Nicole turned around to pinch Soseph's neck with red eyes.
“What do you know?” I would give up anything for Zoe, but Zoe loves her father. Zoe finally finds her
father after these years. You asked me to give you her father. What do you think Samuel is?”
Nicole's heart was bleeding.
Now there was no time to think about whether she was selfish or not. It was just that when she heard
Soseph wanted Samuel, Nicole subconsciously rejected her, and walked away without even thinking
about it.
Now, confronted by Soseph, Nicole felt like being hit by whips, making her feel unbearable.
Soseph, not deterred by Nicole's moves, sneered, “I am right, aren't 1? You're so selfish. You say you
love Samuel, but what
can you do when he got stabbed for you? And I have known that if I don't donate my kidney, Samuel
would do it. Will you bear to watch him on the operating table again? Nicole, I'm a free person with no
one caring about me. And you don't need to be responsible for my death. I can give your daughter my
kidney, but you have to accept my terms.”
“Impossible!”
Nicole felt a sweet bloody smell in her mouth as she spoke each word.
Had it not been for a shred of sense, she might have strangled Soseph.
Seeing Nicole so determined, Soseph spoke again, frowning, “How about I change the terms?”
