Joseph immediately became a little nervous. He looked at Morgan, pleading for help. And Morgan
found it hard to refuse him.
"Alright, I'll save her. Don't worry about that. But now she has a fever and is in a very unstable mood.
It's bad for her health. You are too young to understand what I am saying. You'll know when you grow
up. Anyway, just listen to me, okay?"
Joseph nodded.
Morgan hated to see him being sad. She touched his head and said, "Go have a rest. Leave your
mommy to me. Don't worry. I will protect your mommy and cure her. If you fall ill, I won't save her."
Hearing that, Joseph immediately released Morgan, ran to the bed beside, lay down, pulled the
blanket, and closed his eyes.
Morgan felt heartache for Joseph again.
She sighed and summoned the nurse to help her.
Nicole felt dizzy. For a moment, she felt she was in a furnace, and for another moment, she felt she
had fallen into an ice cellar. This kind of feeling tortured her so much that she felt death might be
easier. She was in extreme pain. She wanted to cry for help. She felt she saw the shadow of Samuel in
the mist, but somehow, she could not see him.
She wanted to reach out for Samuel, but she thought of Jason's words.
"Did you forget that his mother is the murderer behind your grandmother's death? Two lives are
between you and him. Will you two be happy together?"
Nicole stopped her movement. She thought of what her grandmother looked like when she died.
"No, no! No!"
Nicole tried her best to get rid of all this, but the more she tried, the clearer her grandmother's image
was as if it was engraved into her mind.
Samuel walked farther and farther in the mist. She even heard Samuel's sigh.
He said, "Nicole, your uncle killed Vincent and my mother murdered your grandmother. How can we
still be together?"
"Don't go! Samuel, please don't go!"
Nicole shouted, but Samuel was getting farther and farther.
Seeing her like this, Morgan sighed, "The sentimental ones will always get hurt. Why do you have to
struggle like this?"
Unfortunately, Nicole couldn't hear her words.
Morgan took care of her when Nicole was in a daze. When Nicole was pushed into the ward again,
Joseph quickly closed the door and jumped onto the bed. In a hurry, he had no time to take off his
shoes.
Morgan knew Joseph was pretending to be asleep. She couldn't help but sigh again.
"Stop pretending. Your mommy is fine now."
Morgan was very envious of Nicole.
Even though she was hurt by her feelings for Samuel, she had such an adorable child who loved her
and was ready to give up everything for her. Wasn't this not a kind of wealth she possessed?
Thinking of herself, Morgan couldn't help but feel a little sad.
She and the nurse left the ward. She stood alone in the corridor and looked at the sky outside. If her
son was still alive, would she be as happy as Nicole?
She felt an indescribable pain in the heart.
Suddenly, two small hands gently touched her. They were as light as feathers, but they moved her
heart.
Morgan lowered her head and saw Joseph looking at her with a glass of water on the hand.
"For me?"
Morgan was flattered.
From the very beginning, Joseph had been reluctant to talk to her. She used tyrannical methods to
force Joseph to stay by her side. So, she had never expected that Joseph would be nice to her. But
now, the water Joseph was holding moved her to tears.
Holding the water, Joseph nodded.
Morgan excitedly took it over and said, "Thank you, Joseph."
Joseph remained silent, turned around, and left.
He returned to Nicole's side to take care of her.
Feeling it had been a century, Nicole slowly opened her eyes.
The surroundings were somewhat strange but also familiar to her.
Seeing her wake up, Joseph quickly stood up and ran to Morgan.
Looking at the tiny figure, Nicole didn't figure out what was happening.
She wanted to get up, but the pain all over her body made her sweat, and some memories began to
come back to her mind.
Laurel, Lucas, Joseph, Zoe...
She even remembered Mrs. Don!
She thought of everyone. A sort of sorrow surged into her heart. She felt an invisible hand throttled her
throat, making her unable to breathe.
She touched her neck and wanted to speak. But other than babbling, she could not make any voice.
Nicole felt terrible.
She could not speak!
She was dumb!
Nicole suddenly laughed. She laughed so hard that her tears streamed down and breathing became
difficult for her.
She was laughing at her innocence, her stupidity, and her incompetence!
Mrs. Green was right about one thing: she was good-for-nothing!
She couldn't protect herself. She couldn't protect the people around her. And she couldn't protect her
love.
She did not hate Samuel. But she also knew that she and Samuel was destined to break up.
As Nicole laughed continuously, she seemed to have gone mad. She even coughed, but she still did
not stop laughing.
This was what Joseph saw when he brought Morgan back.
Morgan narrowed her eyes slightly, then stepped forward to quickly stabilize Nicole's body and said,
"You may have lost everything, but you still have Joseph. Compared to me, you are much happier. At
least you have a son who insists on staying by your side no matter what, right?"
Nicole was stunned.
She looked at Joseph in front of her. She saw the worry and tears in his eyes. She felt heartache again.
Joseph was Vincent's child!
If it wasn't for Mark, he might be living a good life with his parents.
Mrs. Green was right. The Don family owed this child, so she had to repay the debt.
Nicole waved at Joseph.
Joseph quickly ran over. When he threw himself into Nicole's arms, he finally shed tears.
Unlike other children, he wasn't crying. But his silent tears still made people feel sad and overwhelmed.
Nicole wanted to tell Joseph that she would be nice to him. However, she could not say anything.
Seeing this, Morgan whispered, "Don't worry. Your vocal cords are fine. Because the medications are
inflammatory, the inflammation made you unable to speak. After some recovery, I'll check your throat.
You still have a chance to get your voice back."
Nicole was delighted to hear this. Was this a silver lining?
If there was a choice, no one liked to be dumb, right?
She looked at Morgan gratefully.
Morgan said in a low voice, "I'm not doing this for you. I'm doing this for Joseph. He's my disciple, isn't
he?"
Nicole did not try to say anything else. She knew that Morgan was only using Joseph as an excuse. If
she didn't want to save her, she wouldn't do anything.
Nicole looked at Morgan gratefully, then stroked Joseph in her arms.
She only had Joseph, right?
She didn't know how Lucas and Zoe were now. Neither did she know what Samuel would feel when he
saw their shattered home after he returned?
She found she was still thinking about Samuel. She couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Their love had gone deep into her heart. How could she forget that easily?
But remembering was a torture.
She knew that it was impossible for them to be together. She knew two lives got between them. How
could this relationship continue?
Nicole was extremely painful.
As if she knew what she was thinking about, Morgan sighed, "Let it go. Things always go unexpected.
You can't always be happy just because you want to. Some people are not meant to be together. Some
things are destined to be impossible to achieve. Perhaps you two are not meant to be together."
They were not meant to be together?
Nicole did not know whether that was right.
She only knew that when she thought of Samuel, she would involuntarily think of Vincent who had died
miserably, Mrs. Don who was murdered by Mrs. Green, and all sorts of schemes of Mrs. Green.
She and Samuel had a wonderful love. But under such torment, their love must have changed as well.
Nicole's expression was gloomy. It was obvious that her heart had not been healed.
Morgan thought for a moment and comforted Nicole in a low voice, "Love is an illusory thing. If you
don't understand, just stop thinking about it for the time being. Look at Joseph in your arms. He is not
healthy. You should think about him more."
Nicole raised her head, her eyes filled with doubt.
Morgan's heart ached as she said, "Joseph was a good child, and how did he end up with autism? If it
weren't for his concern for you, perhaps he wouldn't be better in his lifetime. Right now, he is only
willing to contact with you and me. He doesn't have any feelings towards others. This is not a good
sign. This child is only four years old, and a long life is ahead of him. What should we do if he keeps
being like this?"
Nicole instantly felt terrible.
She touched Joseph's head and wanted to say something to Joseph, but she couldn't do such a simple
thing now. Because her movements influenced her wound, she even couldn't help but grunt.
Joseph's hearing was very sharp.
He suddenly raised his head and extended his small hand to gently patted Nicole's back. He even
lowered his head and blew on her fractured hand, as if this could alleviate Nicole's pain.
Nicole's eyes instantly became wet.
"Help him."
Nicole opened her mouth. Although she did not make a sound, she knew Morgan could understand
her.
Morgan sighed, "He is my disciple. I will help him. However, there are some things that I cannot do by
myself. Something must have hit Joseph badly. That's why he was like this. It would take a long time for
him to completely recover. And he needs a quiet environment. The Dungeon and Samuel had been
fighting each other lately, which affected the surroundings. If it isn't for the fact that I am Kemp's wife, I
will also be affected. I'm leaving this place. If you want, you and Joseph can leave with me, but are you
ready to leave? Nicole, if you want to see Samuel, I have a way to let you see him. He's right here! "
Nicole suddenly became anxious and her hands tightly clenched together.
Samuel was here?
He was in City A! But should she see him? Was that necessary?
