This was the first time she felt the pain of losing her voice.
Even though she had used all her strength to shout, she still could not make any sound. Along with the
sound of the heavy rain, she felt helpless.
The car stopped right front of Joseph.
The sharp braking sound was like a knife, almost piercing through Nicole's heart.
"You little rabbit! Why are you in the middle of the road? Get away!"
The driver cursed angrily. Because of the brake just now, his head knocked into the steering wheel and
was hurt. Naturally, he was in a bad mood.
However, Joseph did not seem to hear it. He hurriedly went forward to pull the car door, intending to
pull the driver down.
He wanted to save Mommy!
She was still unconscious!
When the driver saw that Joseph wanted to get on the car, he immediately locked the door and cursed,
"Little bastard, you want to get on the car? No way! You are so dirty! Don't mess my car!"
Joseph wanted to call for help, but all his words stuck in his throat. He couldn't say one of them out.
"Let go! Do you hear me?"
Joseph grabbed the window tightly and didn't let go.
Seeing so, the driver said angrily, "If you don't let go, I'll roll up the window. Don't blame me if your hand
breaks."
Joseph understood him and paused for a moment, but he still did not let go of his hand.
He couldn't let go!
After stopping such a car with great difficulty, he had to drag the driver down and take Mommy to the
hospital no matter what.
Joseph kept holding the window tightly thinking of that.
Nicole was so scared that her entire body trembled. She hurriedly ran forward and did not stop with
falling for several times.
The driver looked around and saw that no any people or surveillance were there. He said fiercely, "You
made me do this!"
With that, he rolled up the window.
"No!"
Nicole shouted in her heart. She struggled to rush forward and carried Joseph away from the car.
The warm feeling made Joseph slightly stunned.
Nicole glared at the driver hatefully. If she could speak, she would not hesitate to scold him.
The driver was shocked. He didn't expect that there would be an adult rushing out. He thought that
Nicole was just a passerby and cursed, "Hey, don't meddle in other people's affairs. This little bastard is
courting death. You can't blame me."
The driver called Joseph 'little bastard', which made Nicole furious.
She directly stretched out her hand and grabbed the driver's hair before the car window was closed.
She crashed his head into the steering wheel fiercely.
He was too hateful!
Joseph was so young. How could he treat a child like this?
Nicole angrily punished the driver with all her strength.
"Let go of me! You crazy bitch! Let go! Otherwise, I'll call the police!"
The driver screamed angrily, but he couldn't break free from Nicole's hand.
He felt strange. Nicole looked weak, and she seemed to be in poor health. Why was she so strong?
He did not know the power of a mother.
To Nicole, Joseph was everything now. He was Nicole's bottom line. If someone wanted to hurt Joseph,
she would make him pay the price even if she would risk her life. .
The driver's voice grew smaller and smaller, and finally, he became quiet.
Only then did Nicole let go.
The driver had fainted and his face was covered in blood.
Nicole felt as if she had suddenly been out of strength. She staggered and almost fell down.
Joseph grabbed her tightly.
Nicole looked at Joseph, shook her head at him, held him with one hand and walked forward in the
rain.
She did not know where to go or how far she could go, but now she did not allow anyone to bully
Joseph.
Cars drove past them one by one. No one cared about the car parked in the middle of the road. They
didn't want to be in trouble.
Nicole felt that it was getting colder and colder.
She hugged Joseph tightly, and Joseph cuddled up to her. They were so close to each other. The
scene was touching to everyone.
When a Land Rover passed by Nicole, she could no longer hold on and fell to the ground again.
Maternity made her subconsciously protect Joseph. She fell to the ground in the opposite direction of
Joseph.
The Land Rover retreated after a while.
When the car door opened, a pair of red high heels appeared in front of Nicole.
Nicole felt that the rain stopped all of a sudden.
She slowly raised her head and saw a familiar face. However, this familiar face made her feel like she
was hallucinating.
She smiled and hugged Joseph tightly before fainting.
"Nicole!"
The owner of the high heels cried out. She quickly squatted down and reached out to touch Nicole's
forehead. It was unexpectedly frighteningly hot.
"How could this be? Hurry up, get them in the car and take them to the hospital."
It was Olivia!
When the driver heard Olivia's shout, he hurriedly stepped forward and carried Nicole and Joseph into
the car.
Joseph kept holding onto Nicole's hand all this time.
Olivia looked at them and could not believe that the woman in front of her was Nicole.
Wasn't she at the Green's?
Why was she here?
And she was in such a sorry and despondent state.
"Joseph, drink some hot water or you might catch a cold."
Olivia poured a cup of hot water from the water heater in the car and handed it to Joseph.
However, Joseph didn't seem to have heard it. He just looked at Nicole and didn't respond to anything
about the outside world.
Olivia was stunned.
She could tell that something was wrong with Joseph.
"Joseph, I'm Auntie Olivia. You know me, right? Come on, be good. Just drink some hot water, okay?"
But Joseph did not react at all. His eyes seemed to have fixed on Nicole.
Olivia suddenly felt a little sorry.
What was wrong with Samuel?
It was raining heavily. How could Joseph and Nicole appear here? What exactly was he doing?
Olivia planned to call Jacob, but after thinking for a while, she put her phone down.
Since Nicole was here with Joseph, something must have happened. She had to make a plan.
"Hurry up and go to the hospital! Hurry up!"
Olivia shouted anxiously.
The driver said awkwardly, "Miss Olivia, we are not allowed to drive this fast!"
"Forget it. Just drive as fast as you can. I will take the responsibility. Just go!"
As soon as Olivia said that, the driver did not hesitate any more. He accelerated and drove towards the
hospital.
After arriving at the hospital, Olivia and the doctor sent Nicole and Joseph inside.
When the doctor finished his treatment, he blamed, "The patient was so badly injured that her entire
back was infected. Why do you send her here so late?"
"Back? What happened to her back?"
Olivia was really worried.
Seeing Olivia like this, the doctor couldn't help but ask, "You don't know?"
"Of course I don't know. Or why shall I ask you? I met her in the heavy rain. What happened to her?"
"So that's the case, Miss Olivia. The patient's back should have been scalded by hot water. It's very
serious, but she was not treated properly. The wound was very serious. Now that she was drifted in the
heavy rain, the infection caused her a high fever. I want to tell you in advance that even if her fever is
down, she will probably need a skin grafting surgery."
"Skin grafting?"
Olivia almost lost her footing out of shock.
"Doctor, did you say that her injuries have not been treated?"
"Yes. Or her wound shouldn't be like this. Also, her left hand was badly fractured and was not fixed
properly. I've already treated it. However, because the fracture happened long ago, she can't lift any
heavy objects even after she recovers. It may still hurt when it rains in the future."
Hearing the doctor's words, Olivia clenched her hands tightly.
If Samuel was in front of her now, she would definitely kill him!
Definitely!
"Does she have any other illness?"
"Those should be all. We gave her a whole-body examination. There shouldn't be any other injuries
other than her arm and back. Her high fever is caused by infection. Miss Olivia, how do you want to
treat her?"
"You don't have to worry about all the expenses. Just try your best to treat her."
The doctor nodded.
Olivia suddenly remembered Joseph.
"Right, that child..."
"Oh, that child is fine. He is quite strong. But, his mental state is not stable. If I'm right, he should be
suffering from autism. I'm not an expert in this field. If you want to know more about it, you'd better
send him to the psychiatric clinic."
Olivia was stunned by the doctor's words.
"What did you say? Autism?"
"Yes. He would automatically block everything from the outside world. He is living in his own world.
Only if he is willing will he allow others to enter his world. I suppose that the woman should be his
closest relative. Only her moves will attract his attention. But he will not notice anything we say or do."
The doctor told Olivia what he thought.
Olivia felt anger filling her chest. She really wanted to curse Samuel.
How could this be?
She just left Nicole for a short time.
How did it end up like this?
She thought the Green family was not bad.
She did not believe that Samuel could not deal with Vincent.
Did Samuel hurt Nicole for Vincent?
This guess flashed in Olivia's mind and was overturned by her.
No!
She knew clearly about Samuel's feelings for Nicole. Samuel would never be so cruel to Nicole.
Then who would do this to Nicole?
Vincent?
Olivia clenched her hands tightly together.
She won't let that person get away with it! She would definitely not!
At this moment, she felt Nicole's hand moving.
"Nicole, it's me. I'm Olivia. Can you hear me?"
Olivia grabbed Nicole's hand tightly.
Nicole seemed to have had a nightmare. She struggled, opened her mouth and shouted, but there was
no sound.
Her expression was painful, and her hands were unconsciously waving. Tears rolled down her cheeks
from her eyes. But there was not a single sound with her mouth opening and closing.
Olivia stood there like she had been struck by lightning, unable to regain her senses for a long time.
