There was a bitter scent of blood in Nicole's mouth, but she could no longer feel it. Her mind was
concentrated on the severe pain of her abdomen. She was trembling. A large amount of blood flowed
out along her thighs.
That was a baby!
The baby of her and Samuel!
Nicole was grief-stricken, but she had to endure the sorrow.
Zama had been watching her coldly, turning a blind eye to Nicole's misery and being satisfied.
When Petty became conscious, she saw Nicole was dying. She remembered Zac.
If Nicole died, would Zac still be alive?
Petty gritted her teeth and struggled, trying to get up. But she couldn't move at all.
She shed tears of despair as she watched Nicole dying.
"If you die, I will bury you properly. Don't worry!" Zama said in a particularly satisfied tone.
Nicole was frail to say a single word. She was in agony and wished she could kill Zama now.
She tugged at her shirt, her fingernails broken. But she didn't know it.
A man barged in when Nicole was about to fall into a coma.
"Stop!"
Stunned, Zama looked at the man in disbelief and shouted, "Samuel? Aren't you in the hospital? Why?"
"Look at me! I'm not Samuel!"
He pushed Zama away and took a step forward to hug Nicole in his arms.
When Nicole saw the familiar face, she wanted to speak. But she suddenly realized that something was
wrong.
"You're Vincent, aren't you?"
"Nicole, I'm sorry. I'm late."
Seeing Nicole being hurt so badly, Vincent was heartbroken.
If Samuel had seen it, he would have been distressed.
Nicole held Vincent's hand and said, "Take her antidote. Laurel and Ms. Don need it."
"I will! Don't worry!"
Vincent waved his hand and many people entered the courtyard, keeping Zama under control.
"Take her antidote away!"
Vincent demanded coldly, not looking at Zama.
Nicole felt that she couldn't make it. She said again, "Save Petty. Make sure she is safe."
Petty didn't expect that. She couldn't believe what she had heard.
Vincent nodded, carried Nicole and walked out.
There were drops of blood on the ground. They were so dazzling.
Vincent was extremely anxious.
"Hurry up! Nicole is my sister-in-law! Take her to the hospital!"
Vincent bellowed, and his men quickly ran out.
When Zama knew Nicole was the Nicole of the man, she was confused. Finn, who was supposed to be
under her control, arrived. Zama seemed to have realized something.
"Vincent, are you still alive? You're still alive! Why didn't you come here earlier? Do you know that I'm
your mother!"
Zama grabbed Vincent desperately.
Vincent suddenly turned around, his eyes being icy.
"Mother? You're unworthy to be a mother. If it hadn't been for you, would Samuel and I have ended up
like this? We will never recognize you as our mother! No way! You should pray that Nicole will be fine. If
anything happened to her, you would pay the price with your life to compensate her, the baby and
Samuel."
Vincent shook off her hand and asked his men to keep her under control. Then, he quickly carried
Nicole, who was unconscious, to the hospital.
She was sent to have an operation. Vincent gave the antidote to an expert doctor who was invited from
abroad. He started to crack the toxins and develop antidote for Mrs. Don and Laurel.
Samuel was still unconscious.
Thanks to the Night Elf Empire, Vincent found Zama's subordinates, who were hiding in the hospital.
Samuel finally woke up when things were mostly settled.
The sight of Vincent reminded Samuel of something.
"Where's Nicole?"
"She..."
Vincent did not know how to respond.
"Tell me! Where's Nicole?"
Samuel had never been so nervous. He grabbed Vincent's collar, his eyes glinting with anxiety.
"Why are you here? How do you know something happened to Nicole?"
"Samuel, Nicole called me in advance. She was a bait to get Zama's antidote. She drugged you,
because she was afraid you couldn't make up your mind. After all, Zama is our mother. So she knocked
you out. We planned well. Finn and I carried out the plan successfully. We thought that Zama would at
most beat her to revenge. Zama was afraid of death and still needed to make an antidote. We thought
she would not do anything serious. But we didn't expect Zama was so cruel and Nicole was pregnant.
When I arrived, Nicole had a miscarriage."
Vincent was choked.
Who would have known that Zama was so vicious and she had such a perfect plan? She would torture
Nicole when Zama herself was in pain.
Samuel almost fell to the ground since his legs were weak.
"She volunteered to be a bait? This is her shortsighted view that shouldn't have been taken seriously.
You should have objected to her! You said that you misjudged and you didn't expect Zama to be so
vicious. Did you waste your time in Night Elf Empire? Why didn't you think twice before carrying out
your plan?"
Samuel's question got him there.
He did it for his own interests.
When he knew his mother was Zama, he had a mixed feeling towards Zama. He didn't even want to
face her.
Nicole took the initiative to take over everything and deal with Zama. She even volunteered to be the
bait. Vincent felt fortunate. This meant neither he nor Samuel had to meet Zama.
He thought even though Zama wasn't a good person, she wouldn't do anything too vicious. He realized
this was nothing but self-deception.
He wanted to save Laurel, but he didn't want to meet Zama. Therefore, even though he found Nicole's
plan not proper, he still agreed to chip in.
But her plan went terribly wrong. Now, Vincent knew that he had made a mistake! A huge mistake!
He knew the plan was not perfect. So did Nicole.
She made such a plan because Samuel and Vincent would not fall into a moral dilemma.
Being questioned by Samuel, Vincent felt ashamed.
He suddenly knelt in front of Samuel and said in tears, "Samuel, I'm sorry. If anything happens to
Nicole, I will take my own life to apologize!"
"What's the point of your apology? You are a grown-up who is able to make well-informed decisions.
You're more competent than me. You can weigh costs and benefits and make trade-offs. I know you
think I'm a coward. I'm a weak man who needs protection from my wife. Do you think so?"
"No. It's not like this!"
"So what is it? You hid your plan from me and let Nicole, a vulnerable girl, deal with Zama. You know
too well what Nicole's consequences will be. But you agreed. Why? It's because of your own
selfishness! You don't want to get hurt and make immoral decisions to kill you mother. You're afraid that
you will be unethical. But did you put yourself in Nicole's shoes? She's my wife! A lady! She was
involved in this shit for me! I'm her husband. But you've never asked about my opinions. I'm excluded
and protected by people around me. How pathetic I am!"
His eyes were filled with tears.
Ever since Nicole had been with him, it seemed like she had experienced a lot of hardships.
She was framed and almost burned to death because she loved him. She managed to escape death
with great difficulty. But now, her life was hanging on the line because of him again.
Their baby!
He didn't even know his existence.
He could imagine how miserable Nicole was.
She had said to him not long ago, "Let's have a baby."
He didn't expect that the baby was in her belly. But unfortunately, they failed to protect him.
No one knew what would happen to Nicole. Seeing the red light on in the operating room, Samuel was
heartbroken.
Vincent was embarrassed and failed to refute.
"Samuel, I'm sorry!"
"You don't have to apologize to me. I'm useless. I can't protect my wife. She can't count on me to solve
problems for her. When the Night Elf Empire was passed down to her, she had no choice but to
become stronger, because I was too occupied to get out of troubles. However, this time, the enemy is
my mother. It is my fault. Since you're back, you can keep Night Elf Empire and Eternal Group. I'm
tired. When Nicole recovers, I'll take her and the children to travel around the world and live our lives."
Samuel seemed to have lost his soul.
Vincent hugged his leg and said, "I didn't want to compete with you. You know, I just can't bear to harm
our mother. I don't want anything from the Greens. I..."
"Neither do I. I only want Nicole! Do you understand? I have no choice but to shoulder family duties. All
I want is her. I want spend the rest of my life with her. I don't care about what happens in the family. I
don't want to be involved in infighting and vicious plots. I just want my wife and children to be safe! You
are competent. I'll leave family matters to you."
Samuel patted Vincent on the shoulder and turned around to leave.
"Where are you going? Nicole is still in danger!"
He paused, but did not turn around.
His eyes were filled with tears, but his tone turned cold.
"Where can I go? I want justice for my unborn child and for my wife who is still in danger. You can't bear
to do anything to Zama. I don't care about morality. I've given her too many chances. She insisted on
doing evil things! Then she'll have to pay for it."
