“What!” Nicole's voice was stern.
She could agree to anything but Samuel, even if it would cost her everything.
Soseph whispered, “I want Samuel!”
“You want to die, do you? Do you really think I'm not going to kill you?”
Nicole felt like she was going crazy.
She never knew she would be cornered by a girl of eighteen.
Trying to get her to let Samuel be with others was like killing her.
After so many years of separation with Samuel, she still couldn't forget him, let alone now that he and
she were more closely related.
But Soseph didn’t care about Nicole's anger, or even her power at all.
She whispered, “I only want him for three months! Just three months! I don't need him to be with me
the whole life! Nicole,
is it too much for me to donate my kidney in exchange of being with him for three months?”
Nicole was stunned.
“What did you say?”
Soseph freed from Nicole's hand, looking at the distant and said, “Il am an orphan since child. I don’t
know what warmth is,
let alone the taste of being loved. When I saw Samuel treated you, so kind, I am particularly eager to
that warmth, and to be the apple of someone's eye. I know who I am, and I know that a man like
Samuel is beyond the reach of a person like me, but so what? The god has given me such a chance,
why don't I grasp it?”
Her words left Nicole surprised, but before she could say anything, Soseph went on, “If relationship is
strong enough, you
will not be afraid of three months of me getting involved in. If he falls in love with me in three months,
I'm sorry, I won't let him go. But my request is only for being with him for three months. He must be with
me for three months, and you must not visit him, nor see him. That is my requirement.”
Soseph looked straight at Nicole.
Nicole's mind was in a mess.
She couldn't imagine how there could be such a woman as Soseph in the world.
“You could choose any man. Why do you want him?”
“I just loved him, and I couldn't think of a better man in the Seapolis City than Samuel. I can only blame
you for letting me meet him.”
Soseph talked so brazenly that Nicole really wanted to slap her, but now she found herself powerless.
“Samuel is not an object,” she whispered, trying to keep herself calm. “He has his own mind. Even if I
have promised you, it doesn't mean he will leave me or the children alone.”
“That is my business, and it has nothing to do with you. Promise me not to come to him within three
months, and not to contact him or see him.”
Soseph's words made Nicole have no idea what to say.
To tell the truth, there was no difference between three months and a lifetime, but what choice did she
have now?
Laurel called Nicole again.
“Nicole, when will you and Samuel be back? Zoe can't hold on... I...”
Nicole's hand was tight on the phone.
At this moment, no one knew what was on Nicole's mind. She even wanted to kill herself than to make
the choice.
Listening to Laurel's anxious voice, Nicole whispered, “We'll be right back.”
After hanging up the phone, Soseph's corner of mouth turned slightly up.
Nicole didn't say anything, but that phone call was enough to convince Soseph that Nicole had agreed
to her terms.
“What a great mother you are!”
“Don't flatter me. Soseph, it's no use promising you. Samuel is not an object, and he has his own
thoughts. I can only promise you not to see him or contact him for three months. As for the rest, I can't
promise you.”
“Deal. I'm not that cruel. Anyway, you saved my life, and I'm not going to look for you until Samuel and I
recover after the
operation. By then, this agreement will go into effect.”
Nicole was not impressed by Soseph's words.
She looked at Soseph and asked coolly, “Can we go in for surgery now?"
“Yes!”
Soseph was ready, but Nicole couldn't leave right away.
“I have one thing to deal with. Wait for me.”
“Fine!”
Soseph was now the same girl as she was when Nicole first met her.
But Nicole felt bitter.
She didn't know what Samuel would think, whether he would blame her, or he would be angry, but she
had no choice.
She couldn't turn a blind eye to Zoe's life.
She promised Zoe many things but none of them had been fulfilled. She was only four years old and
had a beautiful life
waiting for her. How could Nicole deprive a child’s right to survive?
It was only three months!
She had to trust Samuel that he wouldn't change his love in those three months.
Five years had passed, and Samuel still had her in his heart. Three months would not that bad, right?
Nicole comforted herself, but no matter what she did, her heart ached so badly that she almost choked.
She had to give the one she loved most out for three months. How incompetent she was!
Nicole felt a sweet bloody smell in her throat, but she repressed it.
She walked back to the operating room step by step.
Finn and Lucas were worried when they met Nicole.
“How is it?”
“Mommy, are you okay? You look so pale!”
Lucas's words made Nicole smile a little blearier.
How could she look well?
Someone wanted to rob her man, and she not only cannot protect it, she even reached an agreement
with that person, to
send out her favorite person. Who could understand this feeling?
But with Lucas here, Nicole couldn't say anything.
She touched Lucas's head and said, “Lucas, your daddy needs you and uncle Finn here to take care
of. There's something
wrong with Zoe, and she needs an immediate operation. Mummy has to go.”
“What's wrong with Zoe? Daddy is still in an operation, and Zoe...”
Lucas was immediately worried.
Nicole soothed him by saying, “Mommy has found a suitable kidney for Zoe, but mommy has to take
care personally. I don't
know when your dad will wake up, and he can't be alone when he wakes up. You're mommy's son, so
why don't you and uncle Finn stay with Daddy?”
“Fine!”
Lucas nodded quickly, but he was still worried and said, “Mommy, you should tell me what's happening
with sister in time. I will tell you when daddy wakes up. And we are worried about Zoe”
“Got it.”
Nicole touched Lucas's head, stood up and said to Finn, “Please help me take care of Samuel.”
“Ma’am, are you really alright?” asked Finn when he saw that Nicole was in a bad mood.
Nicole shook her head. “God has mercy on me,’ she said. “I found a suitable kidney for Zoe so that it
doesn’t need Samuel to donate his kidney. This is the perfect way. But now there is something I need
to deal with now, and Zoe needs me to take care of her. So, please take care of Lucas and Samuel.”
“Don't worry. I will do my best to protect Mr. Green and Lucas.”
Nicole was somewhat reassured by Finn's words.
How she longed to go in and see Samuel, to know if he was well, and even to tell him that Zoe could
have an operation.
But she couldn't get in now.
They were so close to each other but separated by a door. Nicole really felt powerless and painful.
Her eyes were wet, but she could only bear it.
Finally, she turned and walked out of the hospital, but her legs felt like being filled with lead.
Soseph was waiting outside the door, not in any hurry, and even playing phone games.
When Nicole came out, Soseph turned off her phone.
Nicole saw that it was an old-fashioned phone that had gone out of color, but Soseph didn't give up and
was still using it.
She told herself that she couldn't have any more compassion for Soseph.
This woman was meaner than anyone and even knew what the best trade-off was. For such a woman,
Nicole shouldn't
show any mercy.
Nicole scolded herself secretly and then said to Soseph, “Let's go.”
With her at the front and Soseph at the back, they stopped a car and headed straight to downtown
hospital.
Along the way, Nicole remembered Petty and Zama's conversation about how their man at the hospital
would leave Zoe dead on the operating table, and Nicole was scared.
She made a quick phone call to Jason.
She couldn't call him Mr. Don now.
Nicole whispered the moment the phone was put through.
“Uncle.”
The word gave Jason a sharp pain in his heart, and he couldn't tell how he felt like now.
Nicole called him uncle, which meant that Nicole confessed to being the Don family’s descendant. But
this address made
Jason stop having other thoughts about her.
The woman he fell in love for the first time was actually his own niece!
It was almost too much for him to bear, but he had no other choices.
Jason took a deep breath and nodded in a voice he thought was perfect.
“Has Samuel's operation finished?”
“Not yet, but there is something about Zoe. I want to ask you for help. Are you free now?”
Nicole put it very politely.
The familiarity she had with Jason seemed to have suddenly slipped away a lot.
Jason didn't know what Nicole was thinking right now, but he was not going to refuse Nicole.
“As long as it's your business, I would spare time. Give me the address, and I'll come to you.”
Jason reassured Nicole. She sent him the address of the downtown hospital and shared her concerns
with him.
