"What condition?"
Nicole's vigilance rose again.
When the doctor saw her like this, she whispered, "Don't be nervous. I won't make things difficult for
you. Let me see the person you just called after I cure the little girl."
"What?"
Nicole was quite surprised.
What kind of condition was this?
Or, was this woman asking for something from Lucas?
Nicole didn't know, but just as she was about to refuse, she heard the doctor say, "If you agree, I can
tell you where to find your husband and your friends."
"How did you know I was looking for my friend?"
Nicole frowned. She had a hunch that this woman was not simple.
"This is a man's phone. I saw someone take it a few days ago," the doctor said as she looked at the
phone Nicole put on the table.
Nicole's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this sentence.
"You saw someone else take it? What did that person look like? Where did he live?"
"Let's see the little girl first. Remember my condition."
After saying that, the doctor pushed the wheelchair over and let Nicole sit on it. Then, she pushed her
out of the ward.
The hospital was deserted, and there was not even a single patient. Nicole felt it so desolate.
"Why is there no patient in this hospital? Are you running illegal businesses?"
Nicole wanted to set a trap.
The doctor said coldly, "Local people rarely get sick. Even if they do, they will not be treated by me."
"Why?"
The doctor did not answer Nicole's question.
When they arrived at Karina's room, Karina was still unconscious, but she looked much better.
It had to be acknowledged that the doctor's medical practices were outstanding, and Karina's pale body
was under recover.
"Is she alright?"
"I told you, she doesn't have any big problems for now."
After the doctor finished speaking, she walked out, leaving this space for Nicole.
When Nicole arrived in front of Karina, she looked carefully. Three days ago, due to the immersion in
the river water, Karina's appearance couldn't be seen clearly. Now, her skin was getting rosy, and she
discovered that Karina and Hedy looked indeed somewhat similar.
Sometimes, the world would be really amazing. Nicole never expected that the child trafficked was
Karina.
Nicole didn't know if it was because she stared at Karina for too long, or Karina happened to wake up,
but their gazes met.
Nicole was dumbfounded, but Karina instantly became alert.
She couldn't speak, but she immediately stayed away from Nicole and tightly grabbed the quilt.
Three days ago, she was thrown into the river by Fiona. She thought that she would die without a doubt
yet she survived.
But who was this woman in front of her?
After experiencing death, Karina was now vigilant towards people. Even though Nicole looked very
friendly and kind, she still looked at her silently and was ready to escape anytime.
Nicole saw caution and fear in her eyes.
She didn't know what Karina had experienced, but she suddenly remembered her own child. Seeing
her like this, Nicole said somewhat distressed, "Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you."
However, Karina still did not react and did not let her guard down at all.
"Are you Karina? And you have a sister called Hedy?"
Karina immediately opened her eyes wide at Nicole's words with a flash of surprise in them, followed
by a more cautious look.
"Don't be afraid, I know where your sister Hedy is. Perhaps you didn't know when you left, but what I
want to tell you is that the club that imprisoned you has been taken care of by the police. Some of the
children have returned home, while others have been sent to the orphanage. Your sister Hedy has
been adopted and is currently with my son. Oh, by the way, my son's name is Lucas."
Nicole smiled and said. Regardless of how vigilant Karina was, she said what she wanted to say.
Karina frowned with complex emotions.
Hedy was adopted?
Really?
The woman in front of her looked very kind, but could she believe her?
Karina was not sure.
Right at this moment, Lucas called.
Nicole was glad that the doctor did not take away her cell phone. She looked at Karina, and then turned
on the phone and the speaker in front of her.
"Lucas."
"Mommy, I found something about the Emperor Hotel."
Lucas' words caused Karina's body to tremble.
Emperor Hotel?
Why did this woman investigate the Emperor Hotel?
Karina glanced at Nicole and found that Nicole did not pay attention to her. However, her spirit was
raised by the words 'Emperor Hotel', and Karina observed Nicole.
"Who is the owner?"
"It's a person called Aydan Calo. However, this person was very strange. Old generations of his family
didn't accumulate much fortune but he suddenly became the owner of the Emperor Hotel. He did not
have any other business, and he only liked to play cards. He had a daughter named Fiona, who was
currently managing the hotel. The Calo family has nothing but this hotel. However, strangely enough,
the Emperor Hotel earns quite considerable income in such a remote place like City A, and there are
often luxury cars coming and going. I checked and found that City A does not have any tourist
attractions, nor does it have any special industries or places that can attract rich people. Why are there
so many people visiting the Emperor Hotel?"
Nicole was stunned.
"Considerable income? Luxury cars? Where did these people go?"
"I don't know either. But Mommy, why are you investigating this? Did something happen to Samuel over
there?"
Lucas was sensitive and he could sense something through a few traces.
Nicole was both proud and depressed for having such a wise son.
"No, I'm just checking this hotel. Alright, if there's nothing else, then hang up. I have something to do
here."
"Mommy, there's something else I need to tell you."
"What is it?"
"The manager of this hotel, Fiona, has a relationship with Tim, and it seems that they are quite
intimate."
Nicole's eyes lit up at Lucas' words.
"You said that Fiona is related to Tim?"
"That's right, and there was a scandal between them. It's said that Tim spent a lot of money on this
Fiona."
Lucas was talking about rumors about Tim as well as checking where Nicole was calling from.
When he saw that the computer showed that Nicole was in City A, his eyes narrowed, but he turned off
the computer calmly.
Nicole said with a headache, "You are just a child, will you not investigate Tim's affairs? You have to
keep your soul pure and clean, understand?"
"I see, Mommy. Alright, I got to go. Hedy wants tarts. I promised to take her to KFC. I'll call you later."
Karina was stunned at Lucas’ words.
Hedy?
Was he talking about Hedy just now?
However, Nicole shook her head with a smile and said, "Sure enough, with Hedy, you don't want
Mommy anymore. Alright, be careful, and don't eat too much."
"Got it, Mommy, you're so nagging."
Lucas hung up after he finished speaking.
Nicole, on the other hand, felt wry because of her son's words.
How old was he? He disliked her for being nagging?
When she hung up, she realized that Karina was looking straight at her with her eyes flickering with
spirit.
Nicole knew that she might hear Hedy's name, so she was excited.
"The one who spoke to me just now was my son Lucas. My name is Nicole. Your sister Hedy was
adopted by my good friend. Don't worry, my friend and his wife have no children. They are kind and are
doctors. They will definitely treat your sister well. When we return to Seapolis City, I will take you to see
your sister Hedy."
Karina was shocked by Nicole's words.
She looked at Nicole and thought about what Tim had said. She couldn't believe that the woman she
needed to go back to Seapolis City to look for was here.
Karina hesitated and was not sure. She took a pen and paper and wrote, "Are you really Nicole?"
"Yes, you know me?"
Nicole felt strange at this question and couldn't help but ask.
Karina shook her head and wrote on the paper, "Tim told me to look for you."
"You know where Tim is?"
Nicole excitedly held Karina's wrist.
Karina felt a little pain, but she only frowned.
Before she was certain that Nicole was a good person, she would never put herself in danger again.
She had to survive to see her younger sister Hedy.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Nicole said anxiously, "Do you know where Tim is? Did something
happen to him? Why is his phone in someone else's hands?"
But Karina did not react.
She even closed her eyes, looking very tired.
Nicole was very anxious, but seeing Karina like this, she couldn't bear to force her.
"Karina, I don't know what happened to you, but I really want to know Tim's whereabouts. I'm very
worried about him. If you know, can you tell me? I will definitely be very grateful."
However, Karina did not seem to hear it and did not respond at all.
Nicole's heart was being tortured by anxiety, but she couldn't force this little girl, so she had no choice
but to change the topic.
"If you don't want to say it, I won't force you. The man chasing after you is called Samuel. He is my
husband and the father of my child. He came for you. Now that you are here, where was he?"
Nicole was overwhelmed by worry, but Karina only looked at her, and then closed her eyes again.
Seeing her like this, Nicole sighed and said, "Alright, have a rest. The doctor here has a strange
temper, and you don't have to be afraid. We'll talk after you recover. I'm leaving."
After saying that, Nicole went out of the ward on the wheelchair.
The hospital was still deserted. This city was spooky, and the people here were unfathomable.
Nicole didn't get any useful information from Karina. Looking in the direction of the Emperor Hotel, she
thought that she might as well go to there to take a look. Perhaps there would be a clue.
