"What do you mean?"
When Nicole heard what Samuel said, she found it unbelievable.
However, Samuel did not continue this topic. He smiled and said, "Done resting?"
Hearing what he said, Nicole's face suddenly blushed.
"Yeah!"
"Why are you so passionate today?"
Samuel stepped forward and hugged her in his arms.
Nicole smiled and said, "You don't like it?"
"I do."
Samuel appreciated Nicole's charm, but Nicole felt reluctance in her heart.
Would the sweetness only last for two days?
She didn't dare to think, ask, or even speak.
After they got dressed, Nicole said, "We can't provoke Satan King until your men arrive."
"What is the woman's condition?"
Hearing Samuel's question, Nicole knew that he knew everything, so she told Samuel that the woman
wanted to meet Lucas.
"She wants to see my son? Who does she think she is?"
"Don't care about that, the most important thing now is that before Jacob arrives with your men, we
have to get along peacefully with her. After all, there are people from Dungeon everywhere. By the way,
who started Dungeon? The owner was able to inform wealthy people all over the country of such a
place and brazenly auction off items and people, this person must have a powerful background."
Nicole had this feeling ever since she entered Dungeon.
Samuel nodded and said, "Yes, Dungeon has the most advanced medical equipment and even the
best hypnotist in the world. This person's power can't be underestimated."
"Could it be Vincent?"
Nicole asked subconsciously. After that, she felt it improper. She looked at Samuel nervously.
However, Samuel was not impacted much. He said, "It's not him. Although he has a close relationship
with the owner of Dungeon, he is definitely not him. Vincent does not have the power, if he does, he
didn't need to return to Seapolis City to deal with us, let alone use me to control the Eternal Group as a
step to achieve his goal."
"Goal? What is his goal?"
Nicole frowned.
Samuel's eyes were a little dispiriting, and his voice was a little hoarse.
"His target should be me."
"You? What does he want to do to you?"
"I'm not sure yet, but I can feel that he has no good intentions. Perhaps the moment he fell in love with
Riley, the brotherhood between us was gone."
When Samuel said this, he sounded very sad.
Riley!
This woman, who had died but was still a nightmare to me, was not supposed to be linked to me in the
first place.
Samuel thought to himself.
When Nicole heard this, she said, "Perhaps you can explain it to Vincent."
"If I could, then nothing would have happened. However, I'm puzzled. Since he wants the Eternal
Group, he can just tell me. As long as it's mine, I can share everything with him except you. Why did he
make such a detour? He is a businessman, even if he had a different identity, he didn't need to create
the club in Seapolis City to cause trouble. Whether it's the club or what Vincent is doing, I am confused.
I even feel like his soul has been replaced and only the face that looks exactly like mine is maintained.
"
Samuel's words shocked Nicole.
"Replaced?"
"Yeah, it's like a fairy tale. Someone replaced his soul. I think I might be crazy."
Samuel smiled bitterly.
However, Nicole said seriously, "Tim also said that Vincent was not like this. In the past, Vincent would
sacrifice everything to protect you and the Green family."
"That was the old version of him. It is hard for me to read Vincent of the present. For example, he
wanted to kill Lucas. Or perhaps, from the moment Karina was trafficked, it was his scheme to distract
me away from Seapolis City."
Nicole was astounded.
"You mean when he claimed to kill Lucas, he knew that Lucas and Joseph were eavesdropping?"
"I'm not sure. Think about it, who taught Lucas, Joseph and you martial arts? It's Vincent, right? Could
he, a former leader of the Dark Elf Empire, be fooled by the two children? Perhaps that manager didn't
notice Joseph and Lucas, but I am not sure if Vincent sensed their existence. Think about it, if he knew
Joseph and Lucas were there and deliberately declared to kill Lucas, then how would Joseph react?"
Nicole said, "Joseph will desperately try to inform us in order to protect Lucas."
"That's right, but Joseph ran out and left Lucas behind. Lucas happened to be locked up at Hedy's
place, and at this time, children were trafficked out of the club. I checked and found that the club had
tortured many children to death, but there were almost no children sold. Karina was the first one."
When she heard this, Nicole frowned even more.
"So this is Vincent's plan? He intentionally had someone take Karina away, and then let us mistaken
that person as Lucas, and you would leave Seapolis City and come here? His ultimate target is you?"
Thinking of this, Nicole felt chill down her spine.
What would Samuel feel after being plotted against by his closest relative?
Nicole looked at Samuel worriedly.
Samuel held her hand tightly and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine. Although I am sad and almost died, with
you and the children around, I can hold on."
"I'm sorry."
Nicole knew that Samuel was distressed, so she sighed and hugged him in her arms, saying, "Why did
he do this? I heard from Josh that you were hypnotized. Does he want to control you? What benefit can
he get? If he hated you, he could just kill you. Leaving you alive meant keeping a threat, but he didn't
kill. He beat around the bush and only wanted to control you. What's his point? "
"I don't know."
This was also what Samuel wanted to know.
Nicole suddenly remembered something.
"Oh, you know Mr. Bates, don't you?"
"You mean Mr. Bates of the company?"
Nicole nodded at his question.
"Yes, it's him. What did you give him to secure? Vincent has always wanted me to contact Mr. Bates
and force him to hand over that thing. He even used Zoe to threaten me."
Samuel frowned at Nicole's words.
"He threatened you with Zoe?"
"Yeah, if it weren't for Tim, I wouldn't know how to explain myself to you."
"You don't have to explain to me. I've done so little since the birth of the children. You raised the
children by yourself, and I believe there is no one else in the world who loves them more than you do.
So don't blame yourself for anything happened to our children and don't explain to me because you are
the greatest mother in the world."
Samuel's words touched Nicole.
"Thank you."
"Silly woman, I should be the thankful person. Thank you for giving birth to such lovely children for me.
Thank you for accepting me and being willing to share the fate with a man like me."
The more Samuel said, the more uneasy Nicole felt.
She hadn't enjoyed herself enough with Samuel, and their happy times were yet to come, but
unfortunately, she didn't have time.
She could overcome all difficulties except death and sickness.
Nicole held back the bitterness and said with a smile, "What is this? A thanks-giving confess?"
"Honestly, Nicole, it's a blessing for me to have you."
Samuel said seriously.
Nicole suddenly felt her heart beat faster and faster.
"Save it, we've been a couple for so long. How about talking about you and Mr. Bates? What did you
give him?"
Samuel paused for a moment and said, "Can I talk about this later?"
"It's inconvenient?"
"It's inconvenient now."
Samuel indicated the surroundings with his gaze, and Nicole understood.
He was afraid there was a surveillance device.
However, why was he suddenly afraid? He had spoken so much.
So, what Samuel asked Mr. Bates to keep was very important, to the extent that he was very cautious.
Although Nicole was curious, she nodded and said, "Let's go out for a walk."
"Alright."
Samuel held Nicole's hand and walked out with her.
In the corridor, Satan King was treating a patient. When she saw Samuel beside Nicole, she was
surprised.
"He doesn't seem to be my patient."
"So what?"
Nicole said indifferently.
Satan King looked at Samuel and her expression suddenly changed.
"What's your father's name?"
Samuel did not answer.
Just as Nicole was about to make up a name, Satan King said, "Forget it. Don't run around here. If
anything happens, don't blame me for not saving you."
"Thank you."
Although she didn't know why Satan King suddenly turned a blind eye to Samuel, this was exactly what
Nicole wanted.
She hurriedly pulled Samuel out of the ward and went to the courtyard.
Samuel said, "I suddenly feel that Satan King looks familiar."
"You know her?"
"I don't know. I think I've seen her somewhere before."
Samuel always had a good memory, but at this moment, he could not remember where he had seen
Satan King.
Seeing Samuel like this, Nicole was afraid of triggering the hypnosis. She said, "Don't think about it. As
long as she is not an enemy to us, it's fine. As for who she is, leave it to the future. It's not important
now, is it?"
"Reasonable."
Samuel gave up.
He looked at Nicole's worried gaze and felt that he sucked.
He promised to protect her, but she was always worried about him. What exactly should he do to make
Nicole happy?
