"Mom, I won't let you worry about me anymore."
Nicole held her mother's hands tightly. Ms. Bush was deeply touched.
"Alright, just remember what you said."
After a while, Ms. Bush finally calmed down.
"I heard that the Dons have already obtained your permission for your identity certificate. Perhaps they
will give you a new ID soon. You must be good to Mrs. Don. She let you take the surname of Bush for
the sake of your dad and me. Help us to repay her."
Her mother's words made Nicole feel complex.
"I know. Mom, I'll take care of this matter myself."
"Alright, let's not talk too much. You are still weak now. Lie down and rest for a while. I'll make you
something delicious."
"Thank you, mom."
Nicole felt more at ease in front of Ms. Bush.
Although Audrey gave her birth, she hadn't been with Audrey for a long time. She really couldn't get
close with Audrey quickly.
However, Ms. Bush raised her since she was young and really cared about her.
Looking at Ms. Bush staggering, Nicole felt sorry again.
She owed the old woman too much.
Shortly after Ms. Bush left, Nicole leaned against the bed and closed her eyes to rest.
In a few days, the Dons would get her identity certificate. Then she would have to show up. She had
not seen Mrs. Don for some time.
Nicole thought a lot.
Nicole heard that Laurel was getting better. Besides, she was helping with Vincent on managing
Eternal Group, so she did not have time to see Nicole. She had sent much nourishment over. And she
asked Nicole not to think too much about it for the time being. She and Vincent were there for
everything.
Nicole knew that Laurel cared about her, but she was too busy to be here.
Nicole felt that she would owe Laurel a lot.
It would be too cruel for Laurel that Nicole might leave the Seapolis City with Samuel and settle in
another city.
However, if they didn't leave this place, the Bushes wouldn't be at ease.
Nicole sighed softly, unknown what to do.
"Why are you sighing?"
Samuel opened the door and walked in.
When Nicole saw him, she was slightly shocked. She looked behind him and did not see Zoe. She
asked immediately, "Where is Zoe? Didn't she come up with you?"
"She was tired and fell asleep. Lucas and dad are watching her. Oh right, why did you sigh just now?"
Samuel came to Nicole's side, took off his shoes, went to bed, and hugged Nicole in his arms.
More than ten days had passed, but Nicole's hands were still cold. Samuel was helpless. This was also
why he asked Ms. Bush to stay.
Laurel was too busy now. Audrey had to take care of Mrs. Don. Only Ms. Bush could take good care of
Nicole now.
Moreover, Ms. Bush and Nicole were close, so she will do her best to take care of Nicole.
Samuel put Nicole's hands in his embrace to warm her.
"Don't. My hands are cold."
Nicole wanted to withdraw her hands, but she was stopped by Samuel.
"I feel hot, so I can warm you up."
Nicole smiled faintly and leaned against his embrace. She said, "I heard from my father that you plan to
take me out and find a place to settle down? Are you not planning to return to the Seapolis City?"
"Yeah. We are almost thirty years old. We have always been away from each other. The Green family
isn’t peaceful now, and there are many things that we can't avoid. I just want to live peacefully with you
and the kids."
What Samuel said moved Nicole.
"In this way, Laurel and Vincent will have much more burden."
"Nicole, don't care about others. Think about yourself, okay? Don't you want me to spend more time
with you? Besides, Zoe had basically known nothing after staying in the hospital for four years. From
now on, I want to take you to see this world. Isn't that good? I've done enough for the Greens over the
years. Now that Vincent is able to take charge, we can take a rest. As for mom, she's a reasonable
person. She won't blame us."
Samuel spoke out what Nicole was worried about, so there was no room for Nicole to refute him.
"Have you decided where we're going first?"
"It's up to you."
Samuel smiled gently.
Nicole thought for a while and said, "Why don't we go to Yunnan, a province in China?"
"Yunnan?"
"That's right, Yunnan. I heard that it's very beautiful there."
Nicole said with great expectation.
Samuel did not expect Nicole to say that, but he still nodded and said, "Alright, as long as you are
happy, we can go anywhere. I will start making arrangements when you totally recover."
"Will Jacob come with us?"
"I think so. He works for me, not the Greens. Why?"
Samuel felt that Nicole's sudden question was strange.
Nicole smiled and said, "Nothing much. Olivia doesn't have a job and was banned by Tim. She can
come with us."
"So you are trying to create opportunities for them."
"Isn't that good? Do you think that Olivia isn't worthy of Jacob?"
Nicole's expression was serious. She might kick Samuel if he said so.
"Alright, I'll listen to whatever you say."
"That's more like it!"
Nicole smiled happily after she succeeded.
"Are you tired? Do you want to sleep for a while? You will not get good rest after the kids are awake."
Actually, Samuel wanted them to be together, but the only disadvantage about being together was that
he and Nicole didn't have much time left alone.
So they needed to grab every chance to be together.
Nicole nodded and said, "Sleep by my side with me."
"Alright."
Right now, Nicole was like a child, sticking to Samuel. Samuel liked that but at the same time, he felt
somehow sorry.
Holding Nicole in his arms, they fell into sleep together.
At dinner time, Ms. Bush came up to wake them up.
Just as she opened the door, Samuel opened his eyes.
"Let her sleep for a while longer. You guys eat first."
Samuel's voice was very low, afraid of waking Nicole up. Nicole was sleeping soundly, looking still
weak.
Ms. Bush nodded and retreated.
Ten more days passed. Under the care of Ms. Bush, Nicole recovered very quickly and she looked
much better. Hearing the laughter of the kids, she was in a much better mood.
During this period of time, Samuel had been with Nicole, and he had personally done everything,
causing Olivia to feel a bit envious.
"I am even somehow envious of you guys."
"Then hurry up and fall in love."
Nicole was now able to walk around the room.
The plants in the yard were taken good care of by Petty and Zac. Thinking of what she had mentioned
to Samuel, Nicole thought it was time to do it.
Olivia didn't know what Nicole was thinking. When she heard Nicole's words, she whispered, "Although
I heard that a girl should not fall in love with a man nearby, I did. So what do you think?"
"Who is the man nearby?"
Nicole smiled knowingly and asked.
Olivia coughed and said directly, "What do you think of me and Jacob?"
"What do you mean?"
"Nicole, don't pretend you don't know. You know exactly what I mean."
Olivia was already flushing.
Seeing her like this, Nicole stopped teasing her. She smiled and said, "Very good. Jacob is a very
honest person. Don't bully him."
"I won't!"
Olivia shyly ran away.
Seeing that her best friend had found a good man, Nicole was happy for Olivia.
She got up and went to the yard. Seeing that Petty was concentrating on the plants, Nicole walked
towards her.
"Are you feeling better?"
Nicole said softly.
Petty squatted down for a moment and hurriedly stood up.
"Mrs. Green? Why are you here?"
"Just take a look."
Nicole looked at Petty and found that she looked much better than before. Her eyes shined with
happiness and she looked like a happy wife.
Seeing Nicole looking at her like this, Petty felt somewhat uncomfortable.
"Mrs. Green, why are you looking at me like that?"
"How did it go with Zac?"
"Fine."
Speaking of Zac, Petty smiled unconsciously. She was a happy woman in love.
Seeing her like this, Nicole was also happy for them.
"I told Samuel that you guys are not young. Since you don't have any relative, you could get married
here. We'll be the witnesses for your wedding. This is the wedding gift from me and Samuel."
Nicole handed a key to Petty.
"Mrs. Green, this is..."
"Right next door, Samuel bought you a house. You have to have your own house after getting married.
The house is already under Zac's name. Here's the key."
What Nicole said directly stunned Petty, and then she was moved into tears.
"Mrs. Green, I can't take this. It's too expensive."
"What nonsense are you talking about? You cannot return a wedding gift! It's not good."
Nicole gave the key back again and smiled, "If you have other plans, just tell us. I don't want you to be
my servants. You should have your own life."
"Zac and I have decided that we would learn to do some business from Mr. Green."
Petty talked about her thoughts.
"That's good. Samuel would love to."
"Thank you, Mrs. Green. You are so kind."
Petty was so happy. Her happy expression made Nicole feel happy as well. But at this moment,
footsteps suddenly came from outside, and Jacob appeared in front of them not long after.
"Mrs. Green, it's not good. Something happened."
