Laurel did not know how to respond.
This result was unexpected to her.
She had never imagined that her own speculation would come true.
Could it really be Vincent?
"You guys go first. I'm not sure about this either."
Laurel's ambiguous reply made Jason very dissatisfied.
"Mrs. Green, although Nicole doesn't regard the Dons as her family, if necessary, we, the Dons, will do
anything for her and Lucas. No matter who the person behind all this is, I will not let him go!"
Hearing Jason's words, Laurel did not say anything.
Indeed, the Green family had brought too much danger to Nicole.
Tim didn't say anything and pushed Jason to leave with him.
When only Laurel and Gabrielle were left in the ward, they all ignored Hedy and started to talk.
Laurel asked Gabrielle in a low voice.
"It was Nicole who asked me to stay in the hospital. Do you know anything about it, Director Farley?"
"I don't know anything. Nicole didn't tell me. She just told me that you had to leave the Green's to be
safe, and that she and Zoe had to stay there to ensure Lucas’ safety."
Hearing Gabrielle's words, Laurel understood everything.
"Nicole is always like this. She does all for the sake of the Green family, for the sake of Samuel, but she
never does anything for herself. I think although I treat her well, it can't compare to the harm the Green
family has done to her. Perhaps Jason is right. It's a wrong to Nicole to have married into our family."
Laurel was somewhat distressed and sad.
Gabrielle said in a low voice, "It's because Samuel and you treat Nicole well that she does all for you.
Both of you treat her well, so she's been kind to you. Don't worry, Mrs. Green. Nicole is not a weak
woman. Since she did it, she will handle it properly with Samuel."
"It's not easy for Samuel to handle this properly. Few people can endure the pain of being hostile to
their brothers."
Laurel was a little tired, perhaps because of the huge shock she received today. She left the ward.
As Gabrielle found that Hedy had been looking at Lucas, she asked, "There is a bed here. Do you want
to rest for a while? When Lucas wakes up, he will see you."
But Hedy shook her head and insisted on staying beside Lucas.
Gabrielle felt even more distressed for Hedy.
She had someone bring food to Hedy.
At the beginning, Hedy still refused. However, since Gabrielle was really good to her and Lucas, she let
her guard down and ate the food.
She had never eaten such delicious food before. She could not help eating a little fast, only to choke on
it.
She coughed violently.
Gabrielle handed a cup of water to her and even gently patted her back and said, "Eat slowly. These
are all yours. No one will snatch them from you."
Hedy secretly glanced at Gabrielle. She thought that Gabrielle was always so gentle and her gentle
eyes made her even want to have a good cry.
She lowered her head and silently ate. She did not speak anymore, and in fact, she could not speak.
When Blair entered, he saw all this, which broke his heart.
If it wasn't for him, perhaps the child of Gabrielle and him would be as old as Hedy.
Blair said to Gabrielle, "I was about to eat, but I couldn't find you. I didn't expect you to be here."
When Gabrielle heard Blair's voice, she turned around and smiled, "I have to look after Lucas. He is
injured, and I'm afraid that he will have a fever. Now Nicole and Mr. Green is not here, so I gotta take
care of him."
"I know you are kind. Just leave this to me."
Blair held Gabrielle's hand and found that her hand was cold. He couldn't help feeling a little distressed.
However, Gabrielle replied with a smile, "I'm okay. I'm a doctor. I can handle it. I just feel for this child.
It's too cruel for such a young girl to endure all of this. Look at her. Her name is Hedy. But her tongue
has been cut off. She can't speak forever. She's still so young, and her life will be long. She..."
Gabrielle felt sad again as she spoke.
Blair held her in his arms and said, "Let's go out and talk. Don't frighten the child."
Hearing that, Gabrielle wiped away her tears and walked out with Blair.
Hedy noticed that Blair gave her a glance as he left the ward. She didn't know what this glance meant,
but she wasn't afraid of Blair and Gabrielle.
She felt they were like angels.
She hoped that she could become a doctor when she grew up. But was there any hope for her?
When Gabrielle got out with Blair, she was still in sadness.
Blair passed a hand through her hair and said in a low voice, "I heard that these children are orphans
and were trafficked here. Some of them have long since forgotten what their parents looked like."
"How pitiful."
Gabrielle felt uncomfortable to hear that.
But Blair asked, "What do you think of Hedy?"
"What do you mean?"
Gabrielle was slightly stunned.
Blair smiled and said, "I like her. She and Lucas can be considered life and death friends and she can
take care of him. If she hasn't found her own family, we can adopt her. It's time for our family to have a
child after all these years."
There was a trace of sorrow in Gabrielle's eyes but it was fleeting.
She did not want Blair to be affected by her emotion, but she really felt very sorrowful when she
thought of her dead child. As a doctor, she knew that her physical condition did not allow her to
conceive another child.
Blair could not care about that, but Gabrielle had to.
After all, she couldn't have a kid of the Hawk family!
Gabrielle had mixed feelings when she heard what Blair said.
She liked Hedy very much and wanted to adopt her as her daughter, but in her eyes, it was simply too
cruel for Blair.
"Blair, you should have your own child."
"It's enough for me to have you."
Blair hugged Gabrielle tightly in his arms and said softly, "I think Hedy is kind-hearted. If we adopt her,
we will have a daughter. I remember that you like girls very much, don't you? In the future days when
I'm at work at night, she will keep you company."
"But..."
"Well, it is decided. If the heavens pity us and leave Hedy with no family, we will adopt her. If she has
family, we won't force her, okay?"
"Alright!"
Gabrielle suddenly started crying.
"It's okay. This is a good decision. Why are you crying? We still need to ask Hedy how she feels about
it."
Blair comforted Gabrielle while patting her back. The nurses around hurriedly walked past them when
they saw how gentle Blair was when faced with his wife.
When Lucas woke up, he saw Hedy looking at him without blinking.
"Hedy."
Lucas wanted to get up, but with a hiss, he felt his entire body racked with pain.
Only then did he remember that he had been saved.
Not only was he saved, he also took those children out.
As Lucas woke up, Hedy hurriedly ran out. And when she saw Blair holding Gabrielle while Gabrielle
crying, she thought that Blair had bullied Gabrielle.
So she stepped forward and kicked Blair's calf.
Blair was stunned.
This was the first time he had been kicked by someone, someone who was only a little girl.
However, Hedy was not frightened by his gaze. She directly pushed him away and then protected
Gabrielle behind her like a hen protecting a chick.
Although she couldn't speak, her eyes told Blair that she didn't allow him to bully Gabrielle.
Blair and Gabrielle were stunned for a moment.
Gabrielle burst into laughter.
"Hedy, he's not bullying me. He's actually comforting me."
Gabrielle was touched by Hedy's intention of protecting her.
Blair said smilingly, "Little girl, do you know who I am? I am her husband, so can I bully her? Well, since
you care about my wife so much, I choose to ignore the kick you gave me just now."
When Hedy heard that they were couple, she felt very embarrassed.
After thinking for a while, she bowed deeply to Blair by way of an apology.
This apology was a little too profuse.
Blair felt that Hedy was really a good girl.
"It's alright. Why aren't you looking after Lucas inside? Why did you run out?"
Blair's questions reminded Hedy that Lucas had woken up.
She pulled Gabrielle's hand to take her to the ward.
Both Blair and Gabrielle realized it was likely that Lucas had woken up.
They quickly went into the ward while Lucas was struggling to get up.
"Don't move."
Gabrielle cried to Lucas.
Blair looked at Lucas and smiled, "Brat, are you okay?"
"Good morning, Uncle Blair."
Lucas knew about Blair. Samuel told him some about Blair and he also investigated Blair. He knew that
Samuel and Blair were best friends, so he trusted Blair.
"I'm good, but you're not okay. If your mommy sees your wounds, she must be heartbroken. I heard
that you ran away from home. Brat, you did dare! Do you dare to do that again now?"
When Lucas was asleep, Blair had already found out the reason of all it. Though Lucas had suffered
great now, Blair still felt that he had to make him realize his mistake.
Lucas lowered his head and replied guiltily, "I'm sorry. I won't do it again."
"It's good that you learn a lesson from it. The outside world is not as wonderful as you think, and not
everyone is kind. These words should have been taught to you by your daddy, but because you ran
away from home, your daddy is still searching for your whereabouts. I heard that your daddy's journey
of looking for you was not peaceful. "
Hearing that, Lucas raised his head.
Of course he understood what Blair meant.
"Where is my daddy now? Can you contact my daddy, Uncle Blair?"
Lucas was very worried, but Blair shook his head.
"Your daddy has lost contact with us now. Not only me, but also your mommy can't contact him. I hope
he will come back safely."
