Seeing Nicole's surprised expression, Zama said with a sneer, "Are you surprised? Or do you think it's
impossible? You've only heard achievements from Laurel Green, haven't you? You think that the
Greens are all good people, don't you? Don't you know there is a thing called karma? If they hadn't
done anything bad, they would have their own children. I wouldn't have to be a surrogate mother? They
deserve it!"
"Impossible!"
Nicole shook her head, unable to believe it was true.
"The Greens are merchants. How could they destroy your village?"
"Merchants? Nonsense!"
Zama's expression was a bit gloomy.
"If they were just businessmen, there would be no Night Elf Empire. Do businessmen need such an
organization to protect them? Businessmen? This is just a lie to deceive others. If they did business,
Night Elf Empire night would never exist! How kind and nice they seem to be! But in fact they are doing
evil things!"
"Do you think I'll be deceived?"
Although Nicole was shocked, she could tell right from wrong.
Zama became more vehement.
"You don't believe me, do you? That's fine. You like my son, the successor of the Greens. You are the
leader of Night Elf Empire Night. I don't blame you for not believing what I've said. I don't need your
trust. I'm just telling you, the family owes me, and I will let them pay the price. Laurel ended up like this
because of her own doing. She has done too many bad things. She has to bear the consequences!"
"You have a grudge against the Greens. But why did you involve the Dons? Mrs. Don didn't offend you
at all, did she?"
"The Dons? Do you think they had nothing to do with the incident?"
Zama's tone was icy.
"I don't believe a single word. This is just your excuse to cover up your crimes anyway."
Nicole felt that her organs were bleeding profusely.
Petty was anxious, but she couldn't move at all. She wanted to say something, but she couldn't
interrupt.
Nicole's lips moved, try to say something. But Zama's pointed at her forehead with the gun.
"Alright, it doesn't matter whether you believe me or not. Persuading you is not my purpose. After all,
you are a poor woman who's been blinded by love. You know nothing about hatred! Don't worry. You're
going to die. I will send your body back to the Greens after your death! Laurel will see with her own
eyes how the successor she chose died in my hands!"
The pitch-black muzzle of the gun frightened Nicole.
This was the first time someone had pointed at her head with a gun.
She didn't know how it felt when she was shot dead.
She found herself weird. How could she think of such a strange problem now?
"No! You can't kill her!"
Petty shouted in tears.
She couldn't let Nicole die!
If Nicole died, Samuel would go crazy. If so, what would happen to Zac?
Petty struggled violently, but she was kicked out again by Zama.
"Petty!"
Nicole shouted as Petty spat out blood and fainted.
Nicole flew into a rage.
"Zama, you are a monster!"
"You'll be the next!"
She walked towards Nicole.
Just as Zama was about to pull the trigger, her face turned pale. Her arm trembled and the gun fell to
the ground. Zama knelt on the ground, gasping for breath.
Cold sweat covered her forehead. She was trembling violently.
Seeing this, Nicole knew that the drugs worked.
"Do you want to kill me or save yourself first?"
Nicole's mouth was dripping blood. She looked miserable. However, she pretended to be fine. Zama
was shaking in anger, but she couldn't do anything.
She knew that she couldn't kill Nicole.
Due to the effects of the drugs, Zama was in agony. She did not want to die. The only thing she could
to do to survive is to make an antidote.
Nicole was relieved. Zama stared at her fiercely and said, "Do you think you can escape? Your men are
all under my control, and Samuel won't be able to make it here for a while. Others don't know where I
am. As for the Dons, I've asked my men to keep an eye on them. I allow you to live a bit longer. I will
make your death more painful when I have the antidote."
With that Zama hurriedly got up and stumbled backwards.
Nicole struggled, but she couldn't break free. In the end, she lied on the floor panting in exhaustion.
The floor was cold, but it could make her mind clearer.
Zama's laboratory was in the room. Not intended to hide it from Nicole, she opened the door.
There was equipment for research and medical experiments. Zama quickly put on a white coat and
operated the machines skillfully.
Nicole could tell that she was exceptionally good in making medicine.
"You claimed to be a witch, but you went to medical school, didn't you?"
"Don't try to trick me. But I can tell you I've got medical degrees. Do you really think your pills can kill
me? I can make antidotes to the poison with ease!"
Zama looked at Nicole mockingly, turned around and concentrated on making the antidote. No matter
what Nicole said, she ignored her.
Nicole was in severe pain, and she didn't know how Petty was doing. She struggled to get up. But her
ribs seemed to have been broken. It was too painful that she couldn't move.
She gasped for air, while watching Zama continue her experiment. She looked like a scholar.
Hooligans were nothing to be afraid of. But well-educated hooligans were horrible.
Zama was the latter!
Nicole recalled what Zama had said. Could it be that the Greens destroyed her village many years
ago?
How was that possible?
Laurel and her husband, whom Nicole had never met, were both involved. The whole thing was
strange, wasn't it?
Zama gritted teeth when she told her story. It didn't seem like she was lying.
Nicole was confused. Her mind was occupied and she temporarily forgot her pain.
Zama finally finished after a long time.
She poured a glass of water and was about to swallow the antidote she had just made. But suddenly,
as if she remembered something, she put it down.
Nicole noticed Zama's gaze. She frowned, feeling uneasy.
"What do you want to do?"
"I haven't done it for a while. I don't know if the antidote will work. Why don't you try it for me? You're
going to die anyway!"
Zama said as she walked towards Nicole.
Nicole wanted to retreat, but she couldn't move at all.
She lamented her incompetence. But she pretended to be calm and said, "Zama, you will regret it! You
will definitely regret it!"
"I'm not sure. But I know I don't feel safe and secure to take the medicine, if you don't try it for me."
Zama was in so much pain that she almost fell on the ground, but she was a tough person. Even
though she was sweating profusely, she was careful.
She took out a pill from the cabinet beside her. It was exactly the same as what Nicole had given to her.
Nicole's eyes widened.
"You!"
Before she could finish her sentence, Zama grabbed her chin and stuffed her with the pill. She pinched
Nicole's nose so that she could not breathe. Nicole was suffocated. She opened her mouth to catch her
breath. Zama put the pill in her mouth and fed her some water. The pill slid down into Nicole's throat.
Nicole coughed.
She was thrown down on the floor. Zama said coldly, "This pill is much stronger than what you gave
me. How is it? How are you feeling?"
Nicole did not know if it was because of psychological effect. Her throat was burning, as if it was set on
fire. Her esophagus was scorching as well.
She rolled on the floor. But she clenched her teeth and didn't shout out.
Cold sweat drenched her clothes and her hair. Her stomach was torn apart by invisible hands.
She was in agony.
Nicole curled up and rolled on the ground. Her stomach ache intensified.
Suddenly, there was blood coming out of Nicole's legs.
She was surprised and her mind went blank.
Zama was also surprised by it.
"Are you pregnant?"
Nicole was thunderstruck when she heard it.
She was pregnant?
How could that be?
But upon reflection, Samuel didn't use condom when they had sex recently.
So was she really pregnant with his baby?
But now...
Nicole's face turned pale.
"Zama, I'm going to kill you!"
Nicole burst into tears.
Her child!
The child of her and Samuel!
Before she realized she was pregnant, Zama's pill had killed the baby.
Her belly was in a cramp. Nicole was enduring waves of pain helplessly. It was a torment to her, both
physically and mentally.
Zama did not expect that, either. But she was shocked for an instant before regaining her senses.
"It's a good thing. You're unworthy to give birth to a baby for my son! Since you've already miscarried,
test the antidote for me. If it works, I promise you that you go to hell with your dead baby!"
Zama took the antidote she had made and put it into Nicole's mouth.
