"I'll go out and make a phone call!"
Samuel could tell that Mrs. Don wanted to be alone with Nicole, and he said so.
"Nicole, call me if you need anything. I'll be right outside."
Although he intended to leave, Samuel still said this to Nicole.
Nicole knew that he was worried about her, so she nodded.
"Grandma, I'm going out."
"Alright."
Mrs. Don nodded at Samuel.
After everyone left, only Mrs. Don and Nicole were left in the room. Nicole felt somewhat restrained.
Although she was facing her grandma, they were still relatively unfamiliar. Apart from the blood
relationship, Nicole really was not intimate with her grandma and didn't know what to say.
Mrs. Don looked at Nicole, pulled her to sit in front of her bed and whispered, "I know, you probably
don't like Viola. To be honest, I didn't like her very much at first, but after all, you have the same mother,
and she is your younger sister. Even if she has nothing to do with the Don family, for your mother's
sake, I can't be too harsh, right? Moreover, for the past twenty days, she has been taking care of me
wholeheartedly. She has done a lot for me. I can't drive her out, can I?"
When Nicole heard that Viola was taking care of Mrs. Don wholeheartedly, she felt that something was
wrong.
Viola was spoiled and arrogant.
That was impossible for her to do so.
She didn't know what Viola intended to do.
However, it was useless to say anything now. Her grandma's attitude towards her was very good, so
she could not say anything.
"I see. I don't mind."
Nicole smiled faintly and then asked, "Are you feeling better?"
"Much better. Speaking of which, it's all thanks to Viola. It's said that she got the antidote to prevent me
from having a stroke and paralysis. And for that, we can't neglect this girl, can we?"
Nicole's body suddenly trembled.
"Who told you that she brought back the antidote? Minister Shaw? Or uncle?"
"Look at you. You're about to return to our family, but you still call your mother Minister Shaw. That's
your mother. Although she didn't raise you and I know your love towards your adoptive mother, you
can't call your mother Minister Shaw. If she heard that, she must feel sad."
Mrs. Don had no intention of harshly criticizing Nicole, but she still hoped that Nicole would not act like
a stranger with them.
Nicole did not pay much attention to these details, but asked again.
"You said that Viola brought back the antidote? Who told you about this?"
"Nobody! Because of Viola's identity, your mother would never say anything good for her. I don't know
what your uncle is doing. Ever since Viola came to take care of me, he hasn't been here much. I
overheard the nurse letting Viola rest more, saying that she had been beaten to get the antidote. I
asked Viola about it and she kept her head down and didn't say anything as she was nice and didn't
want to upset me. Nicole, I love you very much, and I also want to treat Viola well. After all, you are
sisters."
Mrs. Don looked at Nicole, her eyes filled with hope.
Nicole sneered in her heart.
Viola was really scheming.
She actually snatched Nicole's credit, confirming that neither Audrey nor Jason would tell the truth.
This was because once they told the truth, Mrs. Don would feel sorry and guilty for Nicole. At that time,
perhaps Mrs. Don would get shocked and something bad would happen again.
Viola knew everyone well.
Now that Mrs. Don had completely treated Viola as a good person, it was useless for Nicole to say
more.
Thinking of this, Nicole smiled and said, "Whatever you say, just do it. I have no objections. Your major
task is to take good care of yourself. Maybe I can let uncle employ a special care nurse for you later."
"No need. With Viola here, why do I need a special care nurse? She's much more reliable than the
nurse."
Mrs. Don spoke highly of Viola.
In the end, Nicole was still a little worried.
She still didn't know what kind of thoughts Viola had. Now that she was allowed to stay by Mrs. Don's
side, Nicole was somewhat worried, but she couldn't find a suitable reason to let her leave.
"It's better to employ a special care nurse. No matter what, Viola is also a great lady in the United
States. When she is at our family, we can't let her be a servant, right?"
Nicole's words "our family" made Mrs. Don extremely happy.
"Yes. You are very considerate. I'll listen to you!"
Mrs. Don was so happy that she was willing to agree to anything Nicole said.
Hearing Mrs. Don's words, Nicole was somewhat touched.
"Samuel said that uncle had been busy with my identity recently. I hope that you can get better quickly.
Otherwise, if I return to the Don family, no one will help me."
"I'm fine. I can go home and open the ancestral hall for you right now. In my lifetime, I can still see you
return to the Don family and acknowledge your ancestors. I don't have any regrets in my heart. Come
back and visit me more often when you're free, okay?"
Mrs. Don also knew that Nicole was now Samuel's wife, the daughter-in-law of the Green family. It was
impossible for her to live in the Don family. However, she really liked this granddaughter and wished
that she could stay with the Don family.
Seeing her grandma like this, Nicole hurriedly nodded.
"I will!"
"Good girl! In the Green family, did anybody bully you?"
Mrs. Don had always been concerned about Nicole.
"No, Samuel is good to me, so is my mother-in-law," Nicole was touched and said hurriedly. "I have a
good life in the Green family."
"I also know that the Green family used to be a bit messy and made you suffer. Now that you're a
member of the Don family, if anyone bullies you in the future, tell me. I won't forgive them. I don't care
who he or she is. Nobody can hurt my granddaughter."
Nicole immediately laughed.
"Alright. Shouldn't you be resting now?"
"Don't worry, just stay with me and chat with me. I'm happy to see you."
Mrs. Don was already tired.
If Nicole did not come, she would have to rest, but now she was eager to talk more with Nicole.
This was her own granddaughter!
She came back with great difficulty. How could she go to rest?
However, before Nicole could say anything, Viola walked in from outside.
"Grandma, it's time for you to rest."
She hurriedly stepped forward.
Mrs. Don laughed and said, "Don't worry, your sister just came back. I want to talk to her."
"There's no hurry. Sister won't leave too soon. Grandma, you have plenty of time to chat with her. But
doctor said that you should take good care of yourself. It took me more than twenty days to get you
recovered. You can't waste my effort."
Viola appeared in front of Mrs. Don like a spoiled child and unintentionally pushed Nicole.
Nicole frowned slightly and couldn't help but move to the side, allowing Viola to occupy her original
position.
"Grandma, look at how hastily Nicole came back. She didn't even have time to prepare gift for you and
came here empty-handed. It can be seen that she still has things to do. Grandma, you need to take a
rest. Nicole also has her own child. She is also a famous designer. Don't take her time. Unlike her, I'm
useless and don't work."
Viola's words were very tactful, but she was saying that Nicole did not show respect for Mrs. Don.
She had actually come to visit patients with no gifts, and what's more, the one she came to visit was
her own grandma.
Nicole's expression changed.
No matter what, Mrs. Don was also her own grandmother, as an outsider, Viola had no right to chase
her away.
Just as Nicole was about to say something, Mrs. Don suddenly spoke something.
"Oh, I'm overjoyed. I was thinking of letting Nicole to accompany me for dinner. I'm getting old and my
brain does not work well. Nicole, are you really in a hurry?"
Mrs. Don's eyes were filled with anticipation, but Nicole really couldn't stay any longer.
With Viola, her so-called sister here, she was afraid that she would lose control.
"I really have something urgent to attend to. I'll accompany you to dinner another day."
Nicole hadn't fully recovered. Samuel did not allow her to eat cold and sour food. She was afraid that
staying to have dinner with her grandma would expose her physical condition. She couldn't let her
grandma worry for her.
When Mrs. Don heard Nicole's words, she was somewhat disappointed. However, she still smiled and
said, "Alright, whenever you have time, tell me and I can be with you at any time."
"Then have a good rest. I'll go back first."
Nicole smiled and nodded. She was about to get up and leave when she heard Viola say softly,
"Grandma, I'm going to see my sister off."
"OK."
Mrs. Don looked at Viola's friendly attitude towards Nicole and couldn't help but be happy.
Nicole didn't know what Viola was up to, and she didn't refuse when she said she wanted to give her
away.
They left Mrs. Don's ward one after the other.
Viola walked a little further away from the ward and said coldly, "What are you doing here? Do you
really think that you are a descendant of the Don family and can show off in front of me? Let me tell
you, I will seize whatever you own!"
Nicole frowned again when she saw that Viola's eyes were filled with certainty.
"Are you being nice to my grandma just to compete with me?"
"Compete with you? What a joke! Your grandma is not a handsome man. Do I need to compete for her
favor? I just can't stand the way you look better than me. Now that you have lost your identity, the Don
family then gives you an identity without hesitation, and even quarrel with the officials in Capital City for
your identity. But what about me? I am also mother's daughter, but I have been an illegitimate daughter
for more than 20 years. Why are you able to obtain what I can't obtain so easily? Nicole, do you know
that I just disliked you before, but now I hate you! Why are you my sister? You don't deserve it!"
Viola gritted her teeth.
However, Nicole did not have much reaction.
"So what? What is your purpose in demeaning yourself to serve my grandma?"
