"Be careful!"
The bodyguard beside her hurriedly stepped forward to stop it.
However, Nicole did not dodge. She watched as the vase smashed towards her and reached out to
grab it as it approached her face.
"I said I don't need you here!"
Lucas did not look at that direction. He thought that it was still a bodyguard of the Green family, so he
instantly lost his temper.
He wanted to find Mommy, but because of the car accident, he was lying in bed and couldn't move. It
was terrible.
Something happened to Mommy, but Samuel didn't protect Mommy properly. He didn't even want to
see Samuel right now.
Lucas' manic state made Nicole feel a little sad.
She had never seen Lucas like this since he was a baby.
Why did such a calm and wise boy become such an irritable little boy?
Nicole quickly walked forward and hugged him tightly.
"Let go of me! No!"
Lucas struggled, but suddenly calmed down.
He allowed Nicole to hug him motionlessly, then turned his head gently and looked at Nicole. His eyes
couldn't help but turn red.
"Mommy!"
Lucas pounced into her arms.
The warm liquid penetrated through Nicole's shirt and almost burned her skin.
Her heart hurt.
Originally, Nicole thought that Lucas would receive the best care if he stayed in the Green family. After
all, he was the successor appointed by Laurel, but she never thought that this would happen.
'If I had known earlier, if...'
Nicole suddenly stopped.
How could there be so many ifs in the world?
She hugged Lucas tightly. She wanted to comfort him but she can't.
Seeing that Nicole had not spoken, Lucas thought that Nicole was angry with him. He hurriedly
whispered, "Mommy, it's not that I'm bad. I'm sorry. I hurt myself. Even if I have a plaster cast, it doesn't
hurt. Really, it doesn't hurt at all."
Nicole felt tortured by fear and anxiety.
How could it not hurt as the injury was so serious?
Lucas was just comforting her!
Moreover, how did it feel to be alone in a strange place for a month?
He was the young master of the Green family, with powerful daddy and mommy, but he was trapped in
the hospital like an orphan.
What did Lucas think at that time?
Nicole's eyes were wet.
She shook her head and felt that she should apologize to Lucas, but she could not speak it out.
Nicole found a pen and paper and wrote on it that she was sorry. It was Mommy's fault. Mommy let you
suffer.
Lucas was stunned for a moment, completely unaware of what was going on.
He only heard that something had happened to Mommy, but he didn't know what had happened. Now
that he saw Nicole's worried and distressed expression, but she had to find a pen and paper to write,
he suddenly understood something.
"Mommy, your voice..."
Nicole smiled and shook her head, expressing that she was fine.
Lucas’ tears came out again.
"Mommy, does it hurt?"
Lucas stretched out his small hand to touch Nicole's throat, soft and warm.
Nicole held his hand and shook her head again with a smile.
Samuel had always been here, he knew that Nicole would come.
Actually, he found Nicole as she came in, but he did not want to appear in front of her, so that Nicole
wouldn't feel sad when she saw him.
Now that he saw such a warm scene of Nicole and Lucas, his heart ached badly.
The originally united family was going to be torn apart. Thinking of this, Samuel was extremely sad.
Lucas and Nicole lay quietly on the bed. The sun shining in, Lucas slept soundly for the first time in
more than a month.
Nicole didn't dare to move, afraid that Lucas would wake up.
She looked at her son quietly, seeing his tender little face turn a little pale, looking at the tears at the
corner of his eyes, her heart constantly blaming herself and feeling guilty.
She was not a good mother.
Ever since the birth of her son and daughter, she had not given them a complete family. Now that she
had returned with great difficulty, she had made them accept Samuel as their father. But now, she was
going to take the children away from the Green family again and leave Samuel. They would become
the children of a single parent family again.
Nicole did not know how to tell Lucas about the divorce, nor did she know how to say about the feelings
between adults. Some people said that she might be able to continue her marriage for the sake of her
children, but Nicole knew that her marriage with Samuel could not be continued.
In the kingdom of love, there is no room for sand, let alone a human life.
She only hoped that in the future, she would give all of her time to the children and try her best not to
make them feel inferior as a single parent family.
Nicole touched Lucas' little face, gently pulled the quilt over to cover him, and then walked out of the
ward.
She knew that Samuel must be here.
When Nicole walked out of the ward, Samuel was smoking in a chair in the corridor.
It had been more than a month since she had seen Samuel. He seemed to have been addicted to
cigarettes, and his body smelled of tobacco.
Nicole felt very uncomfortable. She walked over and sat down beside Samuel.
Samuel extinguished the cigarette subconsciously.
"I'm sorry!"
Samuel knew that it was useless to say countless sorry now, but he still owed Nicole an apology.
Explanation was no longer important to her.
After all, when Nicole needed him the most, he was not by her side.
Nicole's eyes were wet again, but she fought back the tears.
She still loved Samuel, but the reality made them unable to be together.
Nicole took out a pen and paper. Just as she was about to write something, Samuel held her hands
tightly.
He can't stand that Nicole can't speak, nor could he endure her action of replacing sound with paper
and pen.
That shouldn't be her!
She was his wife and should be treated as a princess. How could she be like this?
"I know what you want to write. Divorce... I agree."
Samuel's voice was hoarse, but it made Nicole slightly stunned.
He agreed?
Nicole couldn't believe it.
She looked at Samuel.
Samuel's eyes were filled with the same pain and struggle as her, but there was also a trace of
unwillingness to part with her.
"Thank you."
Nicole opened her mouth and did not make sounds, but she knew that Samuel could clearly see what
she wanted to say.
In the end, there was only the word "thank you" left between them.
"Thank me for what? Thank me for letting go? You know, I don't want to get divorced at all!"
Samuel looked at Nicole and wished to hug her into his arms.
This was his woman!
She was the mother of his children!
But now, he could only become a stranger to her.
"We're husband and wife, Nicole. You know, you've already been part of me, and even my soul. Now
that you want me to let go, it's even sadder than killing me. You're draining my soul, draining my blood,
and now you say thank you to me?"
Nicole suddenly turned her head.
She did not want to listen to Samuel anymore.
If he continued, she would hesitate.
Nicole's expression hurt Samuel even more.
"I love you, Nicole. I have never given up on our relationship, but I also know that I don't deserve to
have you back. After all, it was because of my negligence that you became like this. This is my fault.
Ever since I was young, my mother has taught me that there are some mistakes that I can't make up
for. I have never encountered such a situation before, and now that it happened, I know that this pain is
no different from being cut into pieces. I don't want to part with you, but I have to let you go. I know that
I can't selfishly ask you to forgive me, forgive the Green family and Laurel, but I just want to be selfish
and not let you go, not at all."
Nicole suddenly stood up.
She cannot listen any longer, or she'll be softhearted.
Samuel watched as Nicole stood up and took a few steps forward, seemingly fleeing. Then, he said.
"Booth is a good boy. If you like him, you can think about it. If you get married but don't want to be with
the children, I'll take care of them."
Nicole instantly paused.
What was he talking about?
She and Booth?
Nicole suddenly turned around and looked at Samuel angrily.
What kind of person did he think she was!
Even though she could not continue this marriage with him, could it be that her feelings for him were
fake? Could it be that everything that had happened over the past eight years could be casually erased
in just over a month?
Why would he think that she and Booth was a couple?
Nicole really wanted to curse, but she opened her mouth and gave up.
What was the use of saying it?
This marriage wouldn't last anyway.
Rather than making both of them suffer, it was better for him to feel that she had changed her mind.
It would be good if she could bear the pain alone.
Nicole calmed down from anger.
She looked at Samuel and smiled silently, "Thank you."
After saying that, Nicole turned around and left. However, the moment she turned around, the smile on
her face dissipated.
She was so painful.
Samuel felt even more uncomfortable.
He was just talking.
Looking at Nicole's happy expression with Booth, he was both jealous and comforting. After Nicole left
him, she still had such a happy life. This was what he hoped for. However, he was sad that the man
who brought her happiness was not him.
Maybe he won't be able to bring her happiness in the rest of his life.
Samuel suddenly regretted it.
He shouldn't have agreed.
But what if he didn't agree? Imprisoning her by his side?
She already hated the Green family, and he didn't want Nicole to hate him anymore.
Samuel watched as Nicole walked out step by step and hurriedly said, "If you have any request, you
can tell me. I can also give all the property to you. After all, the children are with you, and you cannot
support them by yourself, so don't refuse my property distribution. Go back and think about it, and
contact me when you decided."
Nicole stopped.
She knew that Samuel was being kind and afraid that she and the children would suffer, but she still felt
a little uncomfortable.
Could it be that he also think the same as Laurel that she was a piece of trash?
That was right.
Why did she lose herself after marrying into the Green family?
She had given up her job, her dream, and had been circling around Samuel and the children all day, so
how could she let others think highly of her?
Nicole secretly swore that she must live a good life. At the very least, she couldn't let Samuel look
down on her.
