"He said that he would come back in two days. Is that true?"
Blair was surprised by what Nicole said.
"Did you talk on the phone?"
"It wasn't a phone call. He sent me a video and said something to me. But I didn't know that he was
suffering."
Nicole didn't think that she needed hide anything from Blair anymore.
Blair was slightly shocked. He said, "He still couldn't keep himself from contacting you. You didn't tell
him about your current condition, did you?"
"No, I didn't."
Nicole was glad that she didn't tell Samuel, otherwise she would have regretted it so much.
If she could not hold back her grievances and complained to Samuel about what had happened to her,
Samuel would have rushed back desperately.
Now she suddenly felt that it was advisable for her to hold back sometimes.
Since Nicole said that she didn't tell Samuel, Blair heaved a sigh of relief.
"That's good. I think he wouldn't be affected. If you didn't tell him anything, he will struggle very hard to
get better in two days and come back to see you and the kids. However, I have to tell you that changing
blood is very harmful for his health. He may have to face a lot of things when he comes back. When the
time comes..."
"Don't worry, I understand what you mean. I won't let Samuel know about my condition. I understand
that he can't be distracted now."
Blair admired what Nicole said, but Gabrielle did not agree.
"Blair, you are out of line. Samuel is your best friend, and Nicole is also my friend. You just want your
friend to be in health and lighten his burden. Have you ever thought that Nicole's condition is not
optimistic? If we can't find an anti-atrophy drug for her organs in a short period of time, Samuel will
regret it for the rest of his life. Do you want to see that happen?"
Gabrielle was a little angry.
On this matter, she had a different attitude from Blair.
Perhaps because Nicole was similar to Gabrielle, or perhaps because Nicole was so tough and her
toughness wrenched people's hearts, Gabrielle could not help but say so.
Seeing that Gabrielle was so excited, Blair wanted to say something but stopped on a second thought.
However, Nicole smiled, "Stop arguing. This is my decision. Samuel doesn't want me to know about his
situation because he is afraid that I would be worried. Similarly, I am worried about him. Blair is right.
Those who could secretly poison Samuel were definitely not ordinary people. Samuel has a lot of work
to do when he comes back. I can't hold him back. Besides, I'm sure you two won't just watch me get
into trouble, right?"
Gabrielle's eyes suddenly turned red with tears.
"Nicole, no one can be sure what will happen."
"It doesn't matter. I told you. If the heavens really want me to die, I won't blame you. During this period
of time, I will treasure every moment that I can spend with Samuel. You guys shouldn't have too much
burden. Let everything be as it is."
Nicole recovered her gentle and easy-going appearance. However, Blair felt upset.
"I will do my best. Don't worry."
"I believe in your medical skills. Do you know how Samuel is now?"
After finding out the reason for all of this, Nicole felt even more distressed for Samuel and wanted to
see him even more.
Even if she couldn't fly over personally, she still wanted to see how he was now.
Samuel was a stubborn man. She loved him very much. How could he bear all of this on his own?
Didn't he know that she would feel distressed for him too?
Nicole felt her heart was wrenched.
Blair was still hesitating, but Gabrielle glared at him and said, "Since we make everything clear, what
are you afraid of?"
"I'm afraid she can't bear it."
What Blair said made Nicole tremble slightly.
Blair was right.
She really couldn't bear it. But there was nothing she could do.
She really wanted to know if he was okay now.
When Blair saw Nicole's current appearance, he relented.
"I can let you see him, but you can't talk to him or disturb him, and you can't come to him now. You
have to know that the last two days are actually a critical period. Once he stops the treatment, the
consequences will be dire. We've worked hard for so long. If we give up now..."
"I see. Don't worry, I won't disturb him. I just want to see him. That's all."
Nicole's voice was trembling.
Blair sighed and said, "Follow me."
"I'll go with her. If anything unexpected happens, I can take care of her."
Blair nodded in agreement.
Olivia was somewhat puzzled when she saw the three of them coming out together.
"What are you doing?"
"Nothing much. We plan to have a small meeting about Nicole's illness in the conference room."
Gabrielle said with a faint smile.
Olivia said, "I'll join you. I want to listen."
"Olivia, go back to the ward. If anyone comes to see me, just tell them that I'm having a physical
examination, in case they will be worried."
Olivia was confused. She had an intuition that Nicole was hiding something from her.
Could it be a physical problem?
"What happened to your health?"
Olivia's eyes were very serious.
Nicole whispered, "I'll talk with you later, OK?"
Seeing Nicole's pleading, Olivia nodded despite her worries.
"I'll ask Jacob to accompany you. He won't go in. Just let him wait for you outside. If you don't agree, I'll
follow you into the room. You have to choose."
Seeing Olivia insist, Nicole whispered, "Let Jacob come over."
"OK."
Olivia didn't ask any more questions and left.
Not long after, Jacob arrived at Nicole's side.
"Madam."
"Protect me at the door of the conference room later. You are not allowed to enter without my orders."
"Yes."
Jacob, Nicole and the others went to the conference room together.
After Blair entered the conference room, he blocked the signal.
Seeing how cautious Blair was, Nicole was somewhat happy for Samuel. Fortunately, Samuel had such
a best friend. Otherwise she really didn't know what would happen to Samuel.
Gabrielle asked Nicole to sit down and poured her a glass of water.
Blair opened the secret device. Soon after, the situation of Samuel was showed on the large screen of
the conference room.
Samuel struggled and roared. The rope on his wrist had hurt his wrist and he was bleeding. But he
didn't seem to know about it.
He was like a trapped beast with no sense and no sensibility but the most primitive impulses and
savagery.
Nicole thought all of this was much shocking than the video on the cell phone.
She couldn't help but shed tears.
"Has he always been like this?"
"He is much better than before. At the beginning, he was suffering like this all the time. Now, he only
suffers three or four hours a day. It happens two to three times a day. It'll probably only happen one or
two times tomorrow, and it'll end the day after tomorrow. In my opinion, he needs to be observing for
two more days, but he's in a hurry to come back, so..."
Blair didn't finish, but Nicole still understood.
Samuel was trying his best to get back early.
Nicole rejoiced that she did not complain, and she rejoiced that she believed in their love and trusted
that he would not betray her. Otherwise, Samuel might be wronged to death.
Nicole watched as Samuel slowly quieted down amidst his roar.
Cold sweat drenched his clothes, and his hair was wet as if he had just come out of the water.
He lost his strength and was lying there panting.
Arthur hurriedly walked in and untied Samuel, and then he handed Samuel a glass of cold water.
Samuel's lips were white and dry.
He drank all the water in one breath, and then looked at the photos of Nicole around the iron cage. He
suddenly smiled very gently.
"I'll see her in two days. Arthur, I'm so haggard. Do you think I will look better later?"
Arthur was slightly shocked. He whispered, "Mr. Green, I think Mr. Hawk is right. You should be under
medical observation for two more days. Although changing blood is useful, there is always a risk."
"I can't wait anymore. It's been five or six days. To me, it's been many years. The Seapolis City is not
peaceful. She's alone in the Seapolis City with our child. I don't know their situation. I really can't be at
ease."
Samuel panted, but he still spoke, as if by speaking that he could divert his attention from the
weakness after changing blood.
Arthur handed him the decocted potion.
"Mr. Hawk is taking care of them. They must be fine."
"I am used to protect my woman by myself."
After Samuel finished speaking, he drank all the potion in one breath without any frown at all.
Nicole shed tears again when she heard what Samuel said.
Samuel was in such a state, but he still tried to protect her and their children.
Did he really think that he was made of iron?
Nicole really wished she could go up and punch him, but she was distressed.
Seeing that Nicole couldn't stop crying, Gabrielle was afraid that Nicole wouldn't be able to withstand it.
Gabrielle whispered, "Nicole, calm down."
"I'm fine. He is working so hard for me. How could I hold him back? Don't worry, I'll respond positively
to treatment in the next two days. When he comes back, I'll welcome him at the airport."
Gabrielle somewhat disagreed what Nicole said, but she did not object.
Samuel rested for a while. After getting a little strength, he said to Arthur, "Fetch me my phone. I want
to call Nicole."
Arthur handed the phone to Samuel.
When Nicole's phone rang, Nicole wiped away her tears and took a deep breath. She tried her best to
recover her tone before answering the phone.
"Hello?"
She looked at Samuel's smile on the big screen. He was happy as if he owned the whole world. Tears
coursed down her cheeks uncontrollably again.
