Since Nicole didn’t want to make her children worried about her, she then was about to walk out of the
ward to answer the phone, “What’s the matter, uncle?” While speaking, she hinted at Laurel, then she
went out.
But Lucas a bit confused when hearing that, “Dad, does my mom have an uncle?”
“Yes, you will have more relatives, who are the family members of your mommy. I will take you to visit
them when you have time.” Laurel answered with patience. But it was still a little bit complicated for
kids to understand what happened. So she would choose to take Lucas and Zoe to meet the Don
Family when everything was settled.
“Okay.” Lucas then continued to play with Zoe.
“Nicole, how are you doing?” Jason asked.
“I am fine. What’s the matter?” Nicole was a bit surprised as Jason hadn’t known the grudge between
her and Soseph yet.
“Well, I have something to tell you. But you have to stay calm.”
“What’s the matter?” Nicole was a bit uneasy.
Jason sighed, “You adopted parents, couple Bush, have been worrying about you. You didn’t come
back to their house but to the base when you just return from abroad. So we kept everything as secret
from them. But just a few days ago, they heard that you were almost got shot and was luckily saved by
Samuel. But your adopted mom was so anxious that she had a heart attack. Now she is still in the
emergency room.”
“Where is my mom?” Nicole asked anxiously.
Jason immediately comforted her, “Don’t worry, Mrs. Bush has been sent to the hospital when I heard
of it. She was sent to the downtown hospital, which is exactly the same place where you stay. She is in
Emergency Room 2.”
“Alright, thanks.” Nicole then rushed to the emergency room. But she stopped and returned to the ward
and told Laurel to take care of kids. Then she rushed to the emergency room again.
Noticing that his grandma was in the hospital, Lucas said to Laurel, “Grandma, I want to go with
mommy.”
“Are you okay with that?” Laurel also worried about Nicole.
“Of course, now I am a big boy. I can shoulder the family before dad recover.” Lucas nodded.
“Okay, go ahead.” Laurel nodded though she was still a bit worried.
“Okay.” Then Lucas jumped out of chair to rush out.
But Zoe grabbed Lucas’s hand to stop him, “Brother, are you going to see grandma? If she recovers in
the future, take me to see her.”
“Okay, I will take you to wherever you want when you recover.” After saying that, Lucas ran away.
Nicole ran to the Room 2. When she saw her adopted father, Dad Bush, she was a bit sad.
Seeing Dad Bush’s hair on his temples turn grey, she could tell there must be a big impact on him
when he knew the real identity of Nicole. However, her adopted parents still cared about her so much
when she was in danger.
“Dad…” Nicole couldn’t help but sob.
Upon hearing that, Dad Bush raised his head to saw Nicole. And tears welled up in his eyes.
“Nicole, your mom…”
“Mom will be fine!” Nicole held Dad Bush’s hand and comforted him.
Dad Bush felt a bit warm when seeing Nicole, “Your mom has been suffering from the hardship of life
since she married me. I really feel guilty for her.”
“Don’t worry, dad. Mom is still young enough to live longer in my eyes and she will continue to be with
you. And I still want to stay with you!” Nicole said with tear.
But Dad suddenly said, “But your real identity…”
“I am your daughter! And I will always be forever!”
Upon hearing that, Dad Bush even shed tears.
“But the Don Family…”
“It’s up to me. No matter who really gave birth to me. You and mom have been raising me up since I
was a toddling baby. I am your daughter, forever!”
“Nicole, your mom will be really happy if she knows you said so.” Dad Bush finally felt relieved. Though
he knew it was the best choice for Nicole to return to the Don Family, he and his wife still missed her so
much as they had raised her up and cared about her as their real daughter for their whole life.
Sometimes they really felt heart-broken when they thought of the fact that their daughter needed to
return to her origin family.
Seeing that Nicole was crying besides another old man, Lucas asked with worry, “Mommy.”
Nicole raised her head and said to Lucas, “Lucas, come to see your grandpa.”
“He is your son? Lucas?” Dad Bush said with trembling voice.
“Yes. Dad, he is my son. And I will take my daughter to see you both when mom recovers.”
Dad Bush kept nodding excitingly.
Lucas came forward and said politely, “Hello grandpa, my name is Lucas Bush and I am four years
old.”
“Good kid. I am so sorry I didn’t bring you any gift for our first meet. I will buy you a nice toy for you.”
Dad Bush held his hand happily.
Lucas looked alike Samuel, but parts of his facial feature, his nose and lips looked alike Nicole’s. Dad
Bush stared at Lucas excitedly as he felt the deep bond of family affection.
Lucas was still a bit unfamiliar with his grandpa. But he noticed Nicole was still pretty worried, he sat
beside his grandpa obediently.
“Grandpa, I want nothing but both of you and grandma being healthy forever.”
“Good kid.” Dad Bush held Lucas in his arms.
Nicole felt really sorry for not visiting her parents with her children as soon as possible. The only thing
the old Couple Bush wanted was nothing but a happy family.
After a while, Ms. Bush was sent out of the door on the stretcher.
“Doctor, how is my mom?” Nicole asked anxiously.
The doctor said while taking off his mask, “She is fine. But she suffered from a heart attack due to her
poor situation of her heart. It’s lucky to send her here in time. She needs to rest in peace and avoid any
great mood swings.”
“Thank you, doctor.” Nicole finally sighed a breath of relief.
She noticed her mother looked haggard. She must be in a hard time recently.
Nicole insisted on staying to take care of her mom. And Dad Bush just agreed. And he felt happy to be
with Lucas, who was such a sensible boy in his eyes.
After a while, Ms. Bush woke up.
She looked very excited when seeing Nicole.
“Mom, calm down. The doctor suggested you should avoid any great mood swings. I am fine and so is
Samuel. Look, I bring you your grandson, Lucas. Lucas, come here.”
“Hello, grandma.” Lucas said in a sweet voice.
“I am fine, really!” Ms. Bush felt relieved when seeing Nicole was fine.
After talking for a few minutes, Ms. Bush finally felt asleep due to fatigue.
Then Dad Bush led Nicole out of the ward and asked with worry, “Nicole, did you and Lucas suffer in
the Green Family? Though our family is indeed inferior than the Green and the Don, I and your mom
will always back you up. Tell me everything if you need. And I will uphold justice for you at all cost.”
Nicole was stunned to hear that, “Dad, why did you say so? I am fine in the Green Family with Lucas.”
“Don’t lie to me.” Dad Bush sighed and continued, “I know it’s because we are inferior to the Green
Family and you don’t even dare to tell us even if you suffered. We didn’t agree on your marriage with
Samuel at the beginning, but now since you have nourished kids with him, if they are mean to you, I will
sue them!”
“Dad, what are you talking about? Did you hear of some rumors? Both Samuel and my mother-in-law
are good to me.”
Nicole was really confused. Why did her dad think that she and Lucas suffered? Did he hear of some
rumors from others?
