"Mr. Green, are you alright?"
Jacob had been paying attention to Samuel. Seeing Samuel couldn't stand up, he immediately stepped
forward and helped him up.
Samuel had experienced many changes these years, but he had never been so uneasy and worried.
He didn't even dare to ask anything.
Olivia glanced at him and didn't say anything. She walked forward and asked the doctor, "Doctor, how
is Nicole?"
"We couldn't save the baby. But we've cleaned the patient's uterus. She is too weak and she has lied
on the cold and humid ground for too long. So, we don't know if she could get pregnant again. If
possible, she shouldn't have kids within three years for the sake of her health."
The doctor's words made Samuel relieved.
"Doctor, does she need to do anything other than rest?"
Samuel finally spoke.
The doctor shook his head and said, "No, she just needs to keep a good mood. She can't have any
mood swings anymore. After all, she had a miscarriage. We don't know if she can recover from her
current condition."
Samuel felt piercing pain in his heart.
Nicole used to be very outgoing and healthy.
But what had she experienced since she got together with him? Olivia was right. It was a disaster for
Nicole to fall in love with him.
Samuel nodded with a sinking heart.
When Nicole was pushed out, her face was frighteningly pale.
Samuel was so sad and he felt tears in his eyes.
He held Nicole's hand. It was cold like ice.
Samuel got heartbroken again.
Olivia wanted to step forward, but was stopped by Jacob.
He shook his head at Olivia. Olivia glared at him, but she did not do anything else.
Samuel pushed Nicole back to her room.
It was so quiet in the room that Samuel could only hear the intravenous drip.
Samuel did not know how Nicole held on back then. But when he thought of how sorrowful Nicole
would be when she found out that she lost the baby, he just wanted to kill himself.
Shouldn't he be her haven?
Shouldn't he stand up for her and their baby?
But look at what happened now.
He put his wife through the ordeal.
Samuel felt so bad and kept blaming himself. He wished that he could turn the clock back.
He didn't know if they were going to have a girl or a boy. He didn't know whether he or she would look
like Nicole or him. He didn't even know when Nicole got pregnant. But now, the baby had gone in a
pool of blood.
This feeling broke his heart, but he couldn't shout it out.
He knew that many people liked to hide their pain. But he didn't know how Nicole would feel when she
woke up.
Samuel held Nicole's hand tightly. He wanted to warm her hand with his. But her hand was still very
cold after he held it for a long time.
When Jacob and Olivia entered the room, they saw Samuel's sad expression. So, Olivia swallowed the
harsh words.
"Samuel, Jacob said that you've injured. Nicole won't be able to wake up for a while today. She's
probably gonna sleep for a few hours. Why don't you go back and take a rest? You can replace me
tonight."
Olivia felt that she was kind enough to Samuel.
If it weren't for his deep love for Nicole, she wouldn't have spoken to him.
However, Samuel said as if he didn't hear her, "You guys can go back. I'll stay here."
"Why don't you understand it? Nicole is unconscious. What if she wakes up and you look like crap?
She has lost her baby, and she has to worry about you? Do you think I care about your health? I just
don't want Nicole feel sad."
Olivia had a bad temper, and she got angry when Samuel didn't listen to her.
Jacob coughed and pulled Olivia behind him. He said to Samuel, "Mr. Green, it will take a few hours for
Nicole to wake up. I've asked the doctor. He gave her a general anesthesia, so it will take at least two
hours for her to wake up. You should go to rest. You look terrible now."
"Really?"
Samuel didn't know what he looked like. When he heard that, he couldn't help but ask.
"Look at yourself. You really look bad."
Olivia handed him a mirror.
This was the first time Samuel had seen himself so haggard.
He always thought that he could do anything. But it turned out that he was helpless on many things. His
face appeared an unpleasantly grayish yellow.
Samuel returned the mirror to Olivia and whispered, "I'm going to rest for two hours. If Nicole wakes up,
wake me up too."
He went to rest just for Nicole.
Samuel was cut to the heart by Olivia's words.
He didn't want Nicole to worry about him when she woke up and saw his sallow face. After all, she had
just lost her child.
Olivia did not say anything. Instead, she walked forward and sat down on Nicole's bed.
Jacob stepped forward to support Samuel and whispered, "Mr. Green, you should go to rest now. I'll
wake you up later."
"I want to rest here."
After Samuel finished speaking, he had someone put a bed in the other room and slept with his clothes
on.
But he couldn't sleep.
The moment he closed his eyes, he saw Nicole bleeding.
There was so much scarlet blood, and it made him uncomfortable when he saw that.
How much blood could a person lose?
Samuel suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling. He couldn't calm down.
However, he forced himself to close his eyes again. No matter how clear and terrifying the scene in his
brain was, or how much he regretted it, he had to force himself to rest for a while.
After Jacob came out, he saw Olivia's red eyes. He whispered, "Don't blame Mr. Green. He is very sad
too."
"I was kind enough. I would have fought with him in the past. Now because of Nicole, I let him go. But
can't I say anything?"
Olivia had never been a soft woman. After the cemetery incident, she was only weak for a few hours
before she fully recovered.
Jacob admired her spirit. Hearing her words, he couldn't help but sigh and say, "Everyone has their
own relationship. It's not determined by you if they're suitable for each other."
"You're going to teach me something again? Mr. Brown, I'm a little dizzy now. Shall we do this another
day?"
Olivia had a good impression of Jacob, so she wouldn't get angry at him because of Samuel.
Jacob could not say anything else. He smiled and said, "I'm going to buy some food and drinks. What
do you want?"
"Nothing, thanks. Nicole likes children very much. If she knew that her child was gone, she would be
very, very sad."
"Nobody wants it. But now that it happened, we have to face it. No matter what Nicole does after she
wakes up, don't be anxious. Try not to tell her about the child, okay?"
"I'm not that stupid."
Olivia felt that Jacob was looking down on her, but she didn't say anything else.
Jacob nodded and went out.
He had too many things to deal with. Now Samuel went to rest and he would not care about the
company for a while. Moreover, if the hospital found the antidote, Mrs. Don should also come to the
hospital for further observation.
Samuel said that he wanted to hand over the company to Vincent. But Vincent had something to do
and left. Now Jacob had to find Vincent to finish the handover work.
Jacob couldn't stay here. Although he wanted to see Nicole wake up, he had to go.
Olivia suddenly felt that it was too quiet in the room.
She looked at the unconscious Nicole and said, "You're so stupid. You have a son and a daughter, yet
you use yourself as bait. Is Samuel so important to you? You always take yourself as an indispensable
person. Don't you know that makes you suffer a lot?"
Nicole was still asleep.
Olivia was so sad and tears fell down her cheeks.
"If something happens to you this time, what are Lucas and Zoe gonna do? Samuel will forget you in a
few years. He'll find another woman. She'll educate your kids and sleep with your man. So, why did you
do that? When can you think of yourself? You silly girl."
The more Olivia said, the sadder she was. In the end, she lay prone on the hospital bed and cried
softly.
"Nicole, you bastard! You have to make everyone heart-wrenching for you every time, right? Aren't you
afraid that I don't want to be your friend anymore? How can you do this?"
Olivia cried very sadly.
Nicole was her best friend and her family.
Nicole felt that someone was crying in her ears, but her eyelids were too heavy to lift.
She wanted to comfort her, but there was nothing she could do.
She vaguely saw a child smiling at her. Nicole liked his arched eyebrows and sweet dimples very
much.
She stretched out her hands to hug the child. But the next moment, the child turned into a pool of
blood, flowing everywhere.
"No! No!"
Nicole stretched out her hand to stop it, but the child was still gone.
She cried despairingly, but she could not wake up from this nightmare.
She seemed to hear a tender voice questioning her.
"Mom, why don't you want me? Why didn't you protect me?"
"No, I didn't! I don't know! I'm sorry! Honey! I'm sorry!"
Nicole cried out in despair, but she could not wake up from her sleep.
"Nicole, wake up! Don't do this! Nicole!"
Olivia wanted to wake Nicole up, but it didn't work.
However, Samuel suddenly woke up. Hearing Nicole's cry, his heart almost broke.
He rushed to Nicole's bed and hugged her in his arms.
