Samuel suddenly looked back, but seeing Nicole remain unconscious, he asked with some uncertainty,
"Gabrielle, did you see Nicole's fingers move just now?"
"She won't wake up so soon. She is too weak now, and just had a major operation, so she won't wake
up until this time tomorrow. Mr. Green, I know you're anxious and worried about Nicole's health. Don't
worry, there will be no problem with the operation. She will wake up sooner or later."
Gabrielle comforted Samuel, looked at Nicole, and then left with her medical kit.
After seeing Gabrielle go, Samuel came back without seeing Nicole and immediately panicked.
"Nicole! Nicole!"
Samuel shouted madly. He even wanted to run out to look for her, but the bathroom door opened and
Nicole popped her head out.
"I'm here!"
Nicole looked at Samuel affectionately with her beautiful eyes. Seeing her, Samuel felt as if he was
dreaming.
"You're freaking me out!"
He quickly walked forward and hugged Nicole tightly.
The touch of her skin made Samuel tremble slightly all over.
Nicole knew that he was frightened.
To be honest, she didn't even know that she could survive, stand in front of Samuel safe and sound,
and even spend the rest of her life with him.
"Sorry, I made you worry."
Nicole patted Samuel's shoulder gently.
Samuel whispered, "If you dare to do this again, I will break your legs so that you have to depend on
me for the rest of your life."
"Do you have the heart to do that?"
Nicole smiled mischievously, and Samuel immediately felt helpless.
"Then I'll break my legs and blind myself so that I can't see and chase after you. Is that okay?"
"What are you talking about?"
Hearing him say this, Nicole couldn't help but frown.
"Are you feeling well? Gabrielle just left, and I'll call her back."
While speaking, Samuel was about to walk out when he was grabbed by Nicole.
"You don't have to. I feel good. You stay here with me."
After hovering between life and death this time, Nicole panicked. She could not bear to die alone.
She wanted to stay alive, to accompany her husband and her children. And she wanted to watch them
grow up, get married, and have children. This was just the beginning of her life, wasn't it?
"OK, I'll be here with you."
Samuel held Nicole's hand tightly and pulled her out of the bathroom.
They sat on the bed. Nicole leaned in Samuel's arms and asked worriedly, "Have you had Blair check
your nerves? How about the hypnosis?"
"Don't worry about me. I know for myself."
"You're not allowed to say that again. From now on, we shouldn't let ourselves get hurt. If we really love
each other, we should love deeply and also love ourselves."
Samuel was a little surprised to hear Nicole say this. He smiled and replied, "OK, we should love
deeply if we love each other."
"No, I'm talking about loving yourself as well."
Nicole knew that Samuel was taking what she said out of context again.
"Well, stop talking. You just woke up and need to rest. I'll lie down with you for a while."
Samuel quieted Nicole down, picked her up and laid her on the bed.
He looked at the ceiling and suddenly felt that he didn't live a colorful life until now.
It was really amazing. If you fell in love with someone, your emotions would rise and fall with theirs.
"Gabrielle said that you won't wake up until tomorrow. Why did you wake up so soon?" he asked softly,
entwining his fingers with hers.
"Perhaps it's because of Laurence's blood."
Nicole remembered what Satan King had said during the operation.
She said that Laurence's blood was hard to get.
Nicole didn't know if it was because of her luck or Laurence's misfortune. In short, it was just a
coincidence that she saved Laurence by accident. Otherwise, she would have been dead.
Samuel was silent for a moment and said, "Laurence said that you looked exactly the same as the
daughter of the Miller family?"
"You can't put it in this way, because I changed my look. If you feel it weird, I'll have another surgery
and try to look the same as before."
Hearing what Nicole said, Samuel hurried to shake his head.
"No, it's not easy to have plastic surgery. I know that you had no choice but do it. If you put yourself in
risk again because of looking like another person, I will feel heartache. No matter how you look like, as
long as you are Nicole, that's enough for me."
"I'm glad that you don't mind."
When Nicole heard him say this, she felt relieved.
Samuel whispered, "I don't mind. Why would I mind? Ever since you met me, fell in love with me and
married me, you haven't had a peaceful day. I've always had you suffer for a lot of things. I did that for
Vincent previously, but now it's because of him again. I finally realize that I was wrong."
"What?"
"Nicole, I was wrong by having you suffer for my own family all the time. I hadn't been good enough to
you from the beginning. I said I would love you and give you a happy life, but I always put you in
danger. I really don't deserve to be your husband."
Hearing Samuel blame himself, Nicole was very shocked.
"What happened?"
"I just suddenly felt that if I lost you, everyone would be meaningless to me."
Samuel's eyes were a little moist.
Nicole felt slightly sad but with a warm feeling in her heart.
She held Samuel's hand tightly and said, "Looks like I really scared you. I'm fine, really. I'm willing to do
anything for you. No matter how difficult it is, as long as I'm with you, I won't regret."
"Thank you for always loving me and not giving up on me. I'm so selfish."
"Samuel, what's wrong with you?"
Nicole felt that today Samuel was quite different.
However, Samuel shook his head and smiled. "Nothing. I was just being emotional. You take a good
sleep for rest first and I'll take you to fight monsters."
"What?"
"I will teach those who bullied you a lesson."
Nicole snorted with laughter when hearing him say this.
"OK."
"Just sleep. I'm not going anywhere and will stay at your bedside. I promise I'll be here when you wake
up."
Samuel's voice seemed to have a hypnotic effect. Nicole felt drowsy and gradually fell asleep.
He tucked her in, leaned against her and looked at her.
Nicole could feel that he had been watching her, and finally fell into a deep sleep.
In the middle of her sleep, Laurel came in. Seeing Samuel like this, she intended to ask him out to eat,
but he shook his head.
"I'm not hungry. Mom, you go eat first."
Laurel sighed and left, but she stopped at the door.
"Since you've decided to give up everything to protect Nicole, you'd better become who you used to
be," she said.
After that, she left the room.
The person he used to be?
Samuel was slightly astonished.
Wasn't he the same as before?
He admitted that she was right after thinking about it for a while.
Ever since Vincent left the Green's for Bordeaux, he had transformed into a different person. No matter
what, what came to his mind first was Vincent.
He felt guilty about Vincent, who had a sense of inferiority because of his excellence. He was the only
heir of the Green family as the eldest son, which forced Vincent to leave and find another way out
himself. Moreover, it was because he abandoned Riley that she gave birth to Joseph after sleeping with
Vincent.
From beginning to end, what he thought about was only Vincent.
He ignored everything he had because of guilt, hoping that Vincent would feel better and happier, but in
the end he realized that he had made a mess of his life and family without being able to bring Vincent
back.
Samuel suddenly felt distressed.
What exactly had he done all these years?
Five years ago, when Nicole almost died in the fire, he truly felt his feelings for her in great grief. Five
years later, Nicole came back. He told her that he would cherish and make it up to her, but he still
chose Vincent over her.
He felt that something was wrong with Vincent, but because he was his younger brother, he felt guilty
and would rather turn a blind eye.
He said that he would give Eternal Group to Vincent and take Nicole and the children on a round-the-
world trip, but in the end, he was worried about Vincent and chose to stay. It caused so many things to
happen, causing a harm to Nicole and the children.
Who was he?
Where was he?
What exactly was he supposed to do and how?
Samuel felt so many things kept flashing across his mind.
Could he be the same Samuel as before?
He looked at Nicole in sleep and finally came to his senses.
There would never be such a person who loved him so deeply.
She was the only one he loved, and he should care for her all his life.
Samuel looked at Nicole with a gentle smile.
Nicole woke up, only to find that it was already evening. Seeing that Samuel really stayed with her as
he said, she was worried and reproached tenderly, "Why are you so stubborn? You didn't have dinner,
did you?"
"I'm waiting for you. If you don't wake up, I'll starve to death."
"Are you stupid?"
Nicole shot him a glance, seeming to be a little angry, but actually felt warm and sweet.
They went downstairs hand in hand.
Laurel looked at them and smiled happily. "You're up? Come and eat. Samuel said that you needed to
rest after the operation. I planned to ask the servants to serve you the food, but he said that walking is
good for your health, so I let you down."
Hearing what Laurel said, Nicole looked at Samuel and asked, "Why can't you keep things to yourself?"
"Don't blame him. You almost lost your life this time. I also feel sorry. Don't worry, I won't let you suffer
for nothing. You just need to take good care of yourself."
Although Laurel said with a smile, Nicole could feel her decisiveness.
She felt that something was different.
Could it be that because of her, Laurel was going to teach her son, Vincent, a lesson?
Nicole was a little confused, but Samuel pulled her to sit at the dining table.
"Let's eat first, and I'll take you to see something fun later."
"What?"
Nicole was puzzled.
She remained very weak now, and Samuel also asked her to stay in bed for rest. But why did he
suddenly want to take her to see something fun? What was that funny thing?
