Nicole couldn't bring herself to blame him. She only said indifferently, "I believe that this has nothing to
do with the Dons. No matter what, the Dons won't harm me. Mrs. Don doesn't like me, but she has no
intention of killing me, so there is something lurking behind. I was kidnapped beside the Crown Club,
but I was taken to a club of the Dons. Their connection to the Dons remains unclear. But don't carry too
much weight. I'm weak, so I can't think this through. I'll investigate with you when I get better."
Jason felt guilty to hear Nicole say that.
"I'm sorry. I couldn't stop my mother from hurting you and even failed to trap Viola. I've caused you so
much suffering. But don't worry. I've sent people to look for Zoe. Once there's any news about her, I'll..."
"Zoe is fine. She has already returned home."
Nicole did not expect Jason was still worried about Zoe.
Samuel indeed broke her heart, but now she didn't want to take it any further.
Jason was puzzled for a moment, but soon it clicked.
"Is this a trap? Was it set up by Samuel?"
"Yes, I'm sorry to have troubled you."
Nicole thought Samuel was way out of line, and she did owe the Dons an apology.
That was right!
If Zoe was really kidnapped, Samuel wouldn't leave the Seapolis City.
If it weren't for Zoe, Nicole wouldn't make a scene in the Don's, they wouldn't catch Viola lying, and
Mrs. Don would never know why she was weak.
So, it was not a coincidence.
Only then could all that make sense.
"Is that why Samuel left the Seapolis City?"
"I don't know."
Nicole really did not know. She had no idea what made Samuel so decisive.
Olivia was confused and couldn't help but ask, "What are you talking about? What exactly is going on?
Why can't I understand a single word?"
"Remain confused. It's good if you don't understand."
Nicole liked Olivia very much.
She was naive, persistent, and willing to go above and beyond for her friends. The less she knew, the
better, and the safer she would be.
However, Olivia felt like a fool, somewhat dissatisfied.
Jason asked in a low voice, "I am still missing something here. Someone must have betrayed the Dons
to help Samuel, right?"
"A driver was in urgent need of money because his family got sick. So, Samuel took advantage of this
loophole. After all, he tricked you. I'd like to apologize for him."
Nicole's words gave Jason some pain. It sounded like that they were so far apart.
They had been so close, but now, he seemed to be strange to her. He couldn't even compare to Tim.
Jason said sadly, "I'm sorry the Dons have wronged you, but Nicole, you are also a Don. It's in your
blood. Nothing can change that"
"Enough, Mr. Don! Stop talking about that."
Nicole didn't speak, but Olivia could stand no more.
"What you have done may be right from your point of view. But have you ever put yourself in Nicole's
shoes? Do you feel like being misunderstood? You think you always speak up for Nicole, believe in her,
and even argue with your mother for her. You think you've done enough, don't you?"
Nicole knew what Olivia was going to say. So, she tugged at Olivia's sleeve to remind her to stop.
Olivia didn't notice it but continued, "Do you really think it is enough? If you really considered Nicole
your family, if she was your daughter, would you let your mother take Viola as her granddaughter?
From the beginning, you've been indulging your mother. Don't tell me you have been protecting Nicole.
You just care about your mother the most. If you were determined to stop your mother, the following
things wouldn't happen. The first time Viola hurt Nicole, you should jump to Nicole's defense and tell
your mother the truth. Your mother is pressing hard on Nicole while you do nothing but yell. So, don't
think Nicole is cruel. Don't put the blame on her. You, the Dons, never treat her as family!"
"Olivia!"
Nicole felt that only someone like Olivia, who wouldn't run from anyone, would dare to speak like this to
Jason.
However, what's the point?
Even though Olivia was telling the truth.
Jason was stunned.
He never imagined that what he did was utterly awful in the eyes of outsiders.
He had always felt that he had done a lot for Nicole since he even disobeyed his mother for her. But
suddenly he realized what Olivia said was right.
From the beginning, he didn't go all out to protect Nicole.
Although he knew Nicole was wronged, his mother still occupied a special place in his heart.
Olivia was right. If he were determined to stop his mother from interacting with Viola, perhaps these
things would not have happened.
So, Audrey left because she was too sad and disappointed, right?
Jason suddenly felt useless.
The Dons owed Nicole so much. How could she accept she was Don? How could he ask for
forgiveness?
It turned out that the Dons got what they deserved. They had let her down.
"I'm sorry, Nicole. I'm sorry."
Jason apologized in shame.
Nicole didn't think it was a big deal. After all, it was water under the bridge.
She didn't care if the Dons considered her as their family since Laurel, Mr. and Mrs. Bush, and Samuel
all loved her.
So many people love her. Why would she feel sad for those who don't love her?
"Mr. Jason, don't apologize. That's all over now. I only hope the Dons will have a peaceful life."
Nicole's words made Jason even more embarrassed.
"You may be tired and need a rest. I'll stay at the door. Let me know if you need anything."
Jason felt that he couldn't stay here any longer.
He even felt his face burning.
He had been asking Nicole to do something for the Dons, but they never did anything for her.
Nicole had done a lot.
For the Dons, for his mother, Nicole had ever gone all out.
Jason suddenly realized that if he were Nicole, he would be sad and disappointed with the Dons.
Looking at Jason's back, Nicole glared at Olivia and said, "You... Can't you say that in a delicate way?"
"If you don't tell them, they will be pushing their luck. He can't see himself, so I was just trying to be
kind."
Olivia got Nicole a glass of hot water and handed it over.
Nicole paused for a moment before taking a sip.
Gabrielle had someone send over the medicine.
After what Swift did to Nicole, Olivia became very cautious. She checked the medicine and then let
Nicole take it.
Noticing her so worried, Nicole felt a little embarrassed.
"How considerate you are. If I don't get better, I'll feel sorry."
"So, you have to get better. Have a rest after taking the medicine. Do you remember what you said this
morning? It's not good for your recovery if you see too many people."
Noticing her pale face, Olivia felt distressed.
"Got it, my butler."
Nicole teased Olivia and then felt a little tired.
She took the medicine and lay down.
Nicole was getting better. Olivia covered her with a quilt and fell asleep beside her bed.
The nurse was somewhat hesitant when she saw this scene, but she still covered Olivia with a blanket.
This was what Gabrielle saw when she came for rounds.
She couldn't help but feel some affection for Olivia.
Olivia had been taking good care of Nicole. They must be very close.
When she was examining Nicole, Nicole suddenly opened her eyes. When she saw that it was
Gabrielle, she heaved a sigh of relief.
Noticing her so startled, Gabrielle felt a little distressed and said, "The Greens has arranged many
bodyguards here and the Dons have been at the door. Don't be afraid. Take a good rest. Only then can
you get better."
"I'm fine."
Nicole smiled gently. Gabrielle admired her because she was always so tough.
Ordinary women would feel aggrieved when they suffered so much. However, Nicole had never once
said a word. She was always in a good mood.
"It's good that you stay in a good mood. What is most important for a patient is the mentality. With a
good mentality, no matter how terrible the disease is, they will recover well."
Nicole nodded slightly.
"Doctor Farley, I want to ask you something."
"Go ahead."
"How is my health?"
Nicole was not stupid. She knew she stayed in the hospital because she had been tormented during
the kidnapping. However, Nicole was still sensitive enough to notice something wrong.
She didn't want to think too much, but now she recalled some abnormalities.
Since her period, she had realized something wrong. Then, Gabrielle, such a heavyweight, treated her.
After that, she underwent surgery for fourteen hours. According to Olivia's description, her life might be
in danger. All that was a sign to Nicole.
There was something wrong with her body!
