Olivia was filled with anger when Nicole mentioned Samuel.
"Samuel? Where is he? Nicole, I don't mean to upset you, but he is simply too terrible. Jacob made
countless phone calls to him, but he didn't answer them at all. Now that you're in such a state, he is still
hiding somewhere. Jacob also sent him messages, but got no reply. I wonder if Samuel has changed
his phone number."
At the sound of it, Nicole stiffened for a moment. For some reason, her heart ached slightly.
"Didn't Samuel save me?"
"Of course not!"
Olivia looked at Nicole and sighed, "It was Tim who saved you. You don't even know that he was
carrying you to the hospital as if he went crazy. His clothes were stained with your blood, scaring us all.
He has been here with you all day and night, and he just returned not long ago. Last night, when you
were in the intensive care unit, Swift disguised herself as a nurse and came here to assassinate you.
Tim stood in front of you and got hurt. His shoulder was stabbed and was almost crippled. You'll have
to thank him later."
As Olivia narrated, she washed Nicole's face with a towel.
Nicole froze for a moment. She never thought that it was Tim who had saved her.
Now thinking of it, she probably missed Samuel so much that she had mistaken her savior to be
Samuel.
But why did everyone lose in touch with Samuel?
Nicole was slightly uneasy.
"Hasn’t he replied?"
"No, if he had responded to the message, I wouldn't be so angry. He is your husband, but he just
disappears when you need him. What's wrong with that?"
Olivia became angrier as she spoke. She really felt sorry for Nicole.
But Nicole struggled to get up.
"Nicole, what are you doing? Do you know that you almost died this time? Doctor Farley said if you
don't take care of yourself, you will lose your uterus forever. If Tim hadn't saved you, I wouldn't even
have guts to imagine what you would be like right now. You even had a surgery for over 14 hours. What
are you doing now?"
Olivia stopped Nicole from getting up.
Nicole did not know that she had been in such a danger. She whispered, "I want to call Samuel."
"You won't get through to him!"
"But I should do it. Samuel is not a heartless person, nor will he leave me and our children behind at
this time. How many days has he left? Other than the phone call to you, who else has gotten through to
him? I'm afraid that something has happened to him!"
This was what Nicole was worried about.
She was reminded of the dream that she had when she was in a daze.
Although she didn't know what it meant, she felt uneasy.
Seeing that Nicole was worried about Samuel, Olivia couldn't help but snap angrily, "Do you only keep
him in your mind? Nothing can happen to him! Nicole, think about it. He was a soldier, so how can he
be hit by others? Even if something really happened to him, why did he call me? If I may say so, he
must have something to hide from you. I reckon he is enjoying a good time now. "
"No, he won't. That's not who he is!"
Nicole was still trying to straighten up. Olivia really didn't have the heart to see her act like this, so she
yielded eventually.
"All right. Your Samuel isn't a hard-hearted man. Is that okay? Don't you just want a phone? I'll get it for
you, but even if you want to call him, you should wait until Doctor Farley examines your body and
allows you to do that."
"Olivia!"
"There's no discussion!"
Olivia immediately rejected Nicole's request.
Feeling Olivia's insistence, Nicole knew she couldn't force Olivia too much, but the uneasiness in her
heart grew stronger and stronger.
Soon enough, Gabrielle arrived. She heaved a sigh of relief after seeing Nicole was up.
"You're finally awake. You almost scared me to death!"
Clearly, Gabrielle was very worried.
Nicole replied with a smile, "It's nothing. Isn't everything all right with me?"
"Nothing? If you had been sent here half an hour later, you would have been dead! I told you that you
are extremely weak. You can't have a problem now. Why did you run away back then?"
Gabrielle didn't mean to blame Nicole. She just felt sorry for her, and was still startled to recall that
moment.
Nicole knew Gabrielle was worried about her, so she smiled and promised, "I won't do it again."
"Are you wishing to do it again? Let me tell you. I have the final say here. You're not allowed to go
anywhere without my permission."
Gabrielle looked very determined, which warmed Nicole's heart.
Previously, she had reckoned that Gabrielle had ill intentions towards her. But now she felt herself to be
so petty.
"All right. I'll listen to you."
Seeing Nicole's cooperation, Gabrielle heaved a sigh of relief and quickly examined her body.
Fortunately, Nicole's bleeding stopped. Although her uterus was still in a terrible condition, it was much
better now.
Gabrielle whispered, "Don't get out of bed for a few days. Ask the nurse to help you if you need
something. Hygiene of your private part is very important. If something abnormal happens, you must
tell me in time. Abnormal symptoms refer to sudden increase in blood volume, stomach pain, and so
on. Do you understand?"
"Yes."
Nicole nodded like a good girl, promising to do whatever Gabrielle commanded.
Therefore, Gabrielle couldn't blame Nicole for anything else.
"Alright, have a good rest. If you need anything, just tell me. I will stay in the hospital for this period and
look after you until you recover."
"Thank you, Gabrielle."
Nicole's gratitude sounded extremely sincere, but Gabrielle felt a little embarrassed to hear that.
"Have a rest."
She felt guilty to see Nicole's trusting eyes and quickly left the ward.
After Gabrielle left, Nicole hurriedly said to Olivia, "You heard that? Gabrielle said I'm fine, so give me
my phone."
Noticing that Nicole was still thinking about Samuel, Olivia was about to blow up. "At the very least, Tim
saved your life, but you didn't even say 'thank you' to him. Now, once you open your eyes, all you want
is Samuel. I've never seen a person who could be more heartless and sillier than you. Samuel is so
bad to you, but you are still thinking about him. How can you be so cheap?"
Olivia still threw the phone back to Nicole as she spoke.
Nicole said with a smile, "Yes, I'm cheap. And I will be cheap in front of him for the rest of my life."
"You..."
Olivia was so angry that she didn't want to say anything.
"I won't care anymore. Anyway, you won't get through to him. If you like, just do it. I'm going out to buy
some food. I'm afraid I will be dead if you continue angering me here. By the way, Mr. Jason is waiting
outside. If you need anything, just ask the nurse to call him."
Olivia really didn't want to see Nicole's disappointed expression.
On the brink of death, Nicole was thinking of the hard-hearted Samuel. How much should she love
him?
Olivia left the ward angrily, but she didn't walk far away.
Nicole naturally knew that Olivia was saying those words for her good. Although others knew nothing
about the real relationship between her and Samuel, Nicole was confident to their love.
Nicole knew Samuel must have something to hide from her, and it might even be an important thing.
But she didn't believe he would have no feelings for her.
She picked up the phone and called Samuel directly.
A mechanical female voice came from the other side of the phone. It wasn't connected.
Nicole admitted that she was somewhat disappointed. But at the same time, she felt more worried.
She did not know what was going on with Samuel, nor how long she had been locked up. Now, her
heart was in a mess.
Were all these things just coincidences?
Or was Samuel's departure related to these things?
Nicole couldn't figure it out.
She fixed her eyes on the phone and texted to Samuel.
"I miss you. I don't know what you're doing. Why didn't you text me back? I'm worried about you!"
After sending the message, Nicole held her phone and stared blankly outside.
There was no need for others to tell her about her own health condition, because she could feel it
herself. She couldn't help but blame herself for having such a weak body. It simply put everyone off.
At the other side, Samuel finally got some results after five days of hard work.
He was released from the iron cage and got a chance to rest for a while.
The toxins in his body were getting fewer and fewer. These days, he felt much better after the blood
exchange.
According to Blair, Samuel would be completely cured in three days.
After that, he will be able to return to the Seapolis City, and back to meet Nicole and their children.
After Samuel walked out, he washed his face, tidied himself up, and put on a set of casual clothes.
Only then did he remember that he hadn't touched his phone for five days.
"Arthur, give me my phone."
Arthur was the man who had been with Samuel for the past five days.
Hearing Samuel's request, he hurriedly handed the phone to Samuel.
Samuel couldn't wait to turn it on, only to find no phone record nor message in the phone, so he felt a
little puzzled.
"Didn’t anyone call me or text me in the past five days?"
"Mr. Green, I have never turned it on."
Arthur's implication was that no one had called or texted.
Samuel frowned slightly.
Really?
‘I have disappeared without any sign for five days. Even if others didn't look for me, Nicole won’t forget
about me. She must be looking for me.’
As he thought so, his phone vibrated and a text message rushed in.
Samuel immediately looked down at the screen. At the meantime, Arthur's expression revealed a trace
of tension.
It was from Nicole. Samuel quickly clicked open it.
When he read the text message, he found himself missing her so much that it was like a flood rushing
through a sluice gate and could no longer be suppressed.
Samuel walked into the sunshine but didn't reply to Nicole's text message. Instead, he sent her a video
request on Twitter.
Before Nicole could come back to her senses, her phone suddenly rang, which startled her.
It was a video request from Samuel!
Nicole couldn't help but feel excited.
She looked down at the hospital uniform on her body.
No!
‘I can’t let Samuel know I’m sick, otherwise, he will be extremely anxious.’
At the thought of that, Nicole said to the nurse beside her, "Hurry up and give me a clean set of
clothes."
The nurse was confused, but she followed the order and took out the clothes that Jason had bought for
Nicole this morning from the cabinet.
Nicole hurriedly put them on. Realizing that the ward would expose her health condition, she struggled
to get out of bed. But when she did so, her legs went weak and she fell to the ground.
