"What's the matter?"
Tim was surprisingly calm.
When he saw Nicole, his entire body trembled. When he escorted Nicole into the operating room, he
was out of his wits. Now he had regained all his composure, looking distant.
After a brief pause, Jason said, "Viola has escaped."
"There are so many kung fu experts in the Don's. But Viola escapes under their noses. Moreover,
Nicole was found in the club owned by your family. Mr. Jason, if you claim that your family has nothing
to do with this, do you think I'll believe it?"
Tim targeted Jason. His tone carried a hint of anger.
Blair hurriedly said, "There may be something else behind this incident. No matter what, the Dons won't
do it to Nicole, considering their relationship."
"It's hard to say. We all know how Mrs. Don treated Nicole earlier. So, I don't believe that the Dons
have nothing to do Nicole's kidnapping. Let me make myself clear. It'll be best that Nicole is fine. But if
not, you won't be able to live a peaceful life! If you don't believe me, wait and see!"
Hearing Tim's threat, everyone present was astonished.
Jacob frowned, feeling that Tim's remark was not proper.
"Mr. Tim, Nicole is a member of the Green family. The Greens owe you a favor. Naturally, I will report it
to Laurel. The Greens will repay your kindness. However, Mr. Tim, I hope that you will stop intervening
with this affair."
"Why do you ask me to stay out of it? The Greens fail to find Nicole. You know that she is the young
madam of the Green family. But you lost her! Four days have passed. No one knows what Nicole has
experienced. Where is Samuel? Where is he?"
Tim was infuriated.
Samuel, whom Nicole cared about the most, did not show up, nor did he give his regards to Nicole.
Was he dead?
Nicole had been kidnapped for four days. Tim believed that Samuel must have been notified of it.
Since then, why didn't Samuel come?
Why hadn't Samuel been heard of?
Samuel said he would love Nicole forever and make her happy. This was bullshit!
Tim saw Nicole lying on the floor alone, as if she had been abandoned by the whole world.
Who could understand that kind of despair and loneliness?
When Nicole needed Samuel the most, where was he?
Jacob was silenced by Tim's questions.
Olivia did not speak for Samuel anymore.
Olivia had been waiting for four days, hoping that Samuel would suddenly appear in front of them and
bring Nicole back.
However, no one could contact Samuel. It was Tim who brought Nicole back.
Seeing Tim being so aggressive, Blair couldn't help but say, "Samuel is not as ruthless as you imagine.
He must be kept, so he can't come back. Moreover, it's very likely that he doesn't know about Nicole's
kidnapping. Mr. Tim, watch your mouth."
"Mouth my mouth? Mr. Hawk, I admire you for your medical skills. But I know the relationship between
you and Samuel. I don't blame you for speaking up for Samuel now. But don't meddle in my affair. Let
me repeat. From now on, I'll take care of Nicole! Since Samuel is useless and can't protect Nicole, then
it's my turn!"
Tim didn't scruple to say so.
Tim used to show consideration to Nicole's feelings. Since Nicole liked Samuel, Tim hid his affection for
Nicole.
However, Tim's concession and endurance did not bring about Nicole's peace and happiness, so he
had nothing to worry about.
"Mr. Tim, have you considered Nicole's feelings when you speak like this?"
Laurel rushed over when she received the news. She happened to hear Tim's comment and
questioned Tim.
Tim didn't care what other people thought. But now that Laurel mentioned Nicole's thought, Tim
frowned slightly.
"Laurel, do you think that after this incident, Nicole will continue to be infatuated with your son? In
despair, she waited for Samuel to rescue her, but he didn't show up."
Laurel was struck dumb, at a loss how to answer.
She did not know where Samuel had gone, nor could she contact him.
Lucas came out from behind Laurel. When he saw Tim, he bowed deeply to Tim and said, "Tim, thank
you for saving my mother."
Ever since Tim rescued Nicole, he had been full of anger. To his surprise, he was disarmed by Lucas.
"You are welcome."
Tim touched Lucas’ head, and his eyes were a little red.
Lucas looked at the blood on Tim's body and was somewhat scared. He asked, "Is this my mother's
blood?"
"Your mother will be fine."
For the first time, Tim didn't know how to comfort a child.
This was Nicole's son!
Lucas did not speak anymore. He stood quietly beside Tim and watched the light of the operating
room. No one knew what he was thinking.
Laurel wanted to say something, but she bit her tongue and waited anxiously.
The door to the operating room opened, and Gabrielle came out. When she saw so many people, she
couldn't help but hesitate for a moment.
"How's it going?"
Blair was more nervous than anyone else.
Gabrielle shifted her gaze from his husband to Laurel. Noticing that Samuel was absent, she knew that
Samuel did not know about Nicole's situation.
"What exactly was going on?"
Tim couldn't hold back any longer.
Lucas tightly grabbed onto Tim's clothes. It could be told that Lucas pretended to be calm.
Tim subconsciously held Lucas' hand. This time, Lucas did not shake Tim's hand off. He allowed Tim to
hold his. Lucas' palms were covered in sweat.
When Gabrielle saw Lucas, she said, "The patient is in a bad situation. I need to talk to the patient's
family alone."
"I'm Nicole's mother-in-law. I haven't notified Nicole's mother. You can talk to me," Laurel immediately
stood forward and said.
"I need to know what's going on."
Tim took an intransigent attitude, as if he would fight with anyone who refused to let him know.
As Gabrielle was about to argue, Jason spoke.
"No matter what, Nicole is my family. So, I have right to be informed."
Since no one was willing to give way, Gabrielle was in a difficult situation.
Blair sighed, "Lucas, can we go out for a while?"
He wanted to take Lucas out. After all, Lucas was too young.
Lucas looked at Tim expectantly.
Laurel was sad.
Lucas was her grandson, but he relied on Tim the most. Although Tim sent Nicole into the hospital,
Laurel found this scene was somewhat disappointed.
Jason felt awful.
Lucas was an independent child. He treated the Dons very well back then. If Mrs. Don hadn't broken
Nicole's heart by doing those things, perhaps Lucas would choose to stay by Jason's side.
Jason looked at Lucas and wanted to say something, but he bit it back.
Olivia wanted to bring Lucas over, and then she heard Tim say, "You're a boy. No matter what you hear
or what happens, you have to act like a man, okay? Your daddy is not by your mommy's side right now.
You're Nicole's son, so you can't be afraid!"
"Yes! I want to stay!"
Lucas said firmly.
Gabrielle looked at Blair.
At this point, even if Blair was in silence, Gabrielle knew that none of them would quit.
Gabrielle coughed and said, "Nicole's condition is very bad. She suffers from a high fever. Moreover,
she was weak before. Her uterus is bleeding, so we need to stop it, and we have been trying our best
to do so. Nicole catches a cold, and she has not been taken care of in the past few days, so she has a
stubborn high fever. I'm not sure if we can stop the bleeding. The last thing I want is to remove Nicole's
uterus. At that time, I need the signature of Nicole's family! So, I still hope that her husband will be
present. "
Gabrielle's final part of her remark was meant for Blair.
Blair frowned.
He knew what Gabrielle meant.
But now, did he really need to alarm Samuel?
Nicole had become like this.
If Samuel rushed back, it made no difference to Nicole. But Samuel's treatment would be stopped, and
he would become an addict for the rest of his life. After that, Nicole might still die. Her uterus might be
removed, or she might face something even more terrifying.
Therefore, whether Samuel came back or not was not of much use to Nicole. Instead, it would ruin
Samuel's life.
Blair was Samuel's friend, so he naturally didn't want Samuel to be a drug addict for the rest of his life.
Therefore, even though Blair knew that Nicole needed Samuel, Blair kept Samuel's secret and refused
to expose Samuel's location.
Telling from Blair's behavior, Gabrielle knew his decision.
They seldom disagree over something like this. But at this moment, Gabrielle was somewhat angry.
Gabrielle was a woman, so she naturally knew when a woman needed her husband's care the most.
But now, Blair broke the connection between Samuel and Nicole. Gabrielle knew that Blair was doing
this for Samuel and Nicole, but she was furious.
Everyone present was shocked by Gabrielle's explanation, especially Olivia.
"How can this be? To remove the uterus? Gabrielle, we both know what kind of sequelae and
complications a woman will have if she lost her uterus. Nicole's uterus absolutely cannot be removed!"
"I know. I'm trying my best to save her. But at worst, I have to do so. So please contact the patient's
family as soon as possible."
After saying that, Gabrielle returned to the operating room. Everyone outside looked at Laurel in
unison, as if only Laurel could find Samuel now.
