Samuel went slightly pale. If it was really the Miller family in his mind, it would be quite troublesome.
What was the relationship between Allen and the Miller family? Why would he change Nicole's look into
that of Adela?
Samuel was not clear about all of this, but he had no time for an investigation now and could only figure
it out later.
Laurence went to look for Joseph, and Karina sat down beside him.
He was worried about Nicole and couldn't calm down at all. Seeing Karina sit down, he threw a glance
at her.
Karina took out a pen and wrote on a piece of paper. "I'm sorry. It is because of me that she didn't save
you in time. I asked her to punish Fiona of the Emperor Hotel first before telling her your whereabouts.
It's all my fault."
"Fiona? What did she do to you?"
Samuel looked at Karina. He had always felt that a girl like her was sensible enough, so it must be that
Fiona did something unacceptable so that she would do this. But he wanted to know what Fiona had
done to her.
Karina told him that Fiona almost killed her, and it was Nicole who saved her. Therefore, she had a mix
of feelings, both guilty and self-condemned.
She looked in the direction of the operating room and wrote, "If anything happens to her, I'll die with
her."
"She'll be fine. Don't think too much. Go back and rest first."
Samuel knew that Karina felt bad and didn't blame her.
Karina wanted to say something, but she finally left quietly.
Samuel suddenly felt a little cold when he was alone in the corridor. It killed him to see Nicole like this.
He looked in the direction of the operating room and remembered the five years he spent with her,
feeling worried and scared again.
Satan King would definitely save Nicole!
He was sure about it, wasn't he?
Samuel comforted himself.
The operation lasted 14 or 15 hours, and Samuel waited outside without eating or drinking. He didn't
care about how he looked in front of others with stubble covering his face.
Laurence came back with Joseph.
Seeing Samuel, Joseph cried and said, "Uncle, I'm sorry, it's all my daddy's fault and I'll make amends
for what he did. Why not you let me get medical training from that woman? Besides, that's really what I
want to do and I'm not interested in doing business at all. When I return to the Green's, Daddy will
definitely force me to study business, but I hate it. Uncle, I don't want to see Daddy turn against you.
Please let me stay here. "
Hearing this, Samuel felt extremely sad.
He brought up the child alone, who actually became so depressed without being as happy as before.
Samuel put Joseph in his lap and asked in a low voice, "Do you know what it means if you're away
from home for ten years? You can no longer do whatever you want with nobody waiting on you.
Perhaps you even have to take care of Satan King. Have you really thought about it?"
"Yes, I have. Mommy said that only by suffering the hardships can I rise above the ordinary. I've been
living under your protection for so long, so it's time for me to be independent."
What Joseph said made Samuel more grieved.
The child had suffered the pain of losing his mother at a young age, and now had to know about his
real father, who was so strict with him. Moreover, he even saw what his daddy had done to Lucas and
Nicole with his own eyes. To tell the truth, Samuel was afraid that this child would break down.
Now that Joseph wanted to leave home and stay away from Vincent, perhaps he couldn't bear all of
this, could he?
Indeed, the four-year-old child had gone through too much.
Samuel looked at Joseph, not knowing what to say.
"Have you made up your mind, Joseph? If so, you won't be able to come back in ten years."
"Yes, I want to study medicine."
Joseph looked at Samuel and answered with determination.
Samuel did not know if he should let Joseph stay. But since the child was determined to do this, he
could only agree.
"I will have someone protect you. I won't disrupt your life, nor will I prevent you from studying medicine.
If you feel anything goes wrong, or want to change your mind, I'll bring you back."
"Thank you, Uncle."
Joseph nodded.
Samuel suddenly realized that it had been a long time since he had seen Joseph's smile. When Riley
was alive, Joseph was just a child, timid, cowardly and somewhat willful, but he truly lived a happy life
every day.
After Riley died, Joseph had been dispirited for a period of time, but he was quite cheerful with Lucas.
Ever since Vincent came back, Joseph seemed to have become a different person.
He smiled less often and even seldom got close to them, keeping everything to himself.
This child seemed to have suddenly grown up and matured, but became reserved and gloomy, causing
him a great deal of heartache.
Samuel held Joseph in his arms tightly and whispered, "Keep in mind that no matter when and no
matter what happens, you are always my favorite son."
Joseph's eyes were immediately moist.
"Daddy!"
He hugged Samuel tightly as before and cried aloud.
In the end, he cried himself to sleep in Samuel's arms.
Looking at Joseph's tear-stained face, Samuel felt very sad.
He cuddled Joseph and waited for Nicole to come out.
After a long while, Nicole came out of the operating room.
Satan King looked a little pale. She must be overtired.
Seeing Joseph in Samuel's arms, she took a step forward quickly, snatched the child from Samuel, and
then took him in her arms tightly.
"You promised me this in advance and cannot go back on your word. This is my student and we have
an agreement of ten years. You'd better dismiss the idea of taking him away now."
Pulled by her like this, Joseph immediately woke up.
He looked around blankly and was shocked when seeing himself in Satan King's arms.
Samuel looked at Joseph and said, "Now you still have time to change your mind. As long as you say
you want to go home, Daddy will bring you home immediately."
Joseph seemed to have gone back to the time when Riley was alive, and Samuel would come to give
him a hug every day after work.
Actually, he had always wanted to call him Daddy, even for the rest of his life, but he couldn't.
He was his uncle!
He was also Lucas' daddy.
In the past, he called Samuel Daddy because he didn't know this, but now how could he pretend
nothing had happened and do everything as before?
He had taken Lucas' daddy away from him for five years, hadn't he? It's time to for Lucas to have his
own daddy.
Besides, without his mommy around him, his daddy didn't like him either. How could he continue
staying in the Green's?
Now if he became Satan King's student, maybe he could save his mommy. Wasn't that quite good?
As Joseph said all of this to himself, he suddenly turned to look at Satan King and asked, "How is my
mommy?"
Satan King was nervous just now, but hearing Joseph's voice, she became much gentler.
"Don't worry, your mommy will definitely be fine with me. As long as she has a good rest at home, she
will gradually recover."
"Really? You're not lying to me? I won't learn from a liar."
"Of course not."
Hearing this, Samuel breathed a sigh of relief.
He quickly came to the stretcher where Nicole lay and looked at her pale face, promising to himself that
he would never let her suffer again.
In the end, Joseph decided to go with Satan King.
Samuel said that Joseph could go with her, but two bodyguards must be left to protect him. Meanwhile,
Joseph could call home at any time.
Satan King agreed to all these demands.
She looked at Joseph with tenderness, even affection in her face. Samuel was curious about this, but
he didn't have time to ask anything else.
Nicole was sent to the ward and monitored for a whole night without showing any signs of fever. Satan
King said that she was okay.
The next morning, Samuel's men arrived.
Seeing the group of guys, Kemp of Dungeon frowned slightly.
One of his men asked, "Kemp, you just let them go like this? What if Samuel doesn't give you what you
want?"
"I have a backup plan. If he doesn't give it to me, I'll have to give him a lesson. But Mr. Green is so
well-known in the Seapolis City, after all. I believe he'll fulfill his promise. Nicole is his weakness. If that
woman really dies, then he'll have no soft spot, so it's better to let her live."
Kemp said confidently as he smoked his cigar.
Samuel brought Nicole back to the Seapolis City with a helicopter.
Seeing him carry Nicole back to the Green's, Vincent was stunned for a moment, as if he had never
thought Samuel would come back.
"Samuel?"
With a glanced at him, Samuel did not say anything and carried Nicole upstairs directly. He went to the
bedroom, put Nicole gently on the bed and walked out.
"Get the previous people back and bring Mom back. Don't let me do anything to you."
After saying this, Samuel went to the kitchen to cook millet porridge for Nicole.
He seemed to be quite familiar with all of this, looking approachable, but Vincent was a little scared.
He couldn't figure out what Samuel was thinking.
Vincent believed that Samuel had guessed something about what happened in City A, which could be
proved by what he said just now. They had fallen out with each other, but Samuel remained indifferent
to him, so he didn't know how to reply.
When Samuel came out and saw Vincent standing still in the living room, he said coldly, "What? Do I
need to drive your men out myself?"
"No, I'll let them go."
Vincent wanted to see something from Samuel's eyes, but he remained calm all the time.
How could he be so calm?
Vincent had also heard about Nicole's situation. It could even be said that it was because of him that
Nicole would be like this. If it hadn't been for him making use of her to find Mr. Bates, nothing might
have happened to her.
Right now, Nicole remained unconscious. Didn't Samuel love her the most? Why hadn't he done
anything to him?
Vincent was extremely puzzled, but he didn't know how to ask.
He sent away his men and asked someone to bring Mrs. Green back.
Looking at Vincent, Mrs. Green sighed with her eyes filled with disappointment, but she said nothing.
Only when she saw Samuel did she anxiously ask, "How is Nicole?"
"She is fine and only needs to rest for a while."
Samuel took Laurel back to her room.
After getting everything settled, Samuel was about to say something to Vincent when Jacob came with
a test result in his hand.
