"Oh my God! What happened to you, Nicole?"
Booth blurted out as soon as he saw Nicole.
Olivia stood up quickly and looked behind Nicole with concern. Then, she closed the door and asked,
"What happened?"
"Someone wants to kill me!"
Nicole gestured, with a nervous and serious look.
"What? Who's after you?"
Olivia and Booth became nervous instantly. Even Karina stood up and looked at Nicole with a worried
look.
Nicole shook her head.
"I don't know. They must be the ones I met when I had a night snack last night. When I just came out of
the hospital today, I almost got hit by a car. Then I went to the parking lot and a car was about to hit me
from behind. Fortunately, I lost it. They didn't know my background, so their plan failed this time. But I
don't know what else is waiting for me next time."
Nicole gestured quickly.
Olivia and Booth got nervous immediately.
"Then what should we do? Call the police?"
"There's no evidence. It's useless to call the police. Besides, the policy here is a bit special. You'll know
it later."
Nicole rubbed her temples to relieve fatigue.
Booth handed the warm water in front of him to Nicole in a hurry.
"Nicole, have some water."
Karina wanted to remind Booth that she got the water for him, but now Booth could only see Nicole. In
the end, Karina just opened her mouth but said nothing.
She couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
Nicole took a sip of the water and then heard Booth say, "Why don't we find Kale for help? Maybe he
knows how to deal with them."
"Forget it. I don't even know who they are and have no evidence. Don't bother him. Besides, if they
really want to kill me, they will come to me again sooner or later,"
Nicole gestured.
Olivia nodded and asked, "Do you have any idea?"
"Well, not a good one. Just wait for their coming. But I don't think they dare to make a move here. Let's
take action first tomorrow and lure out the enemy."
A trace of ruthlessness flashed across Nicole's eyes.
She couldn't take this anymore!
She was overwhelmed by sadness because what had happened to Samuel, and now someone even
wanted to kill her.
Did they think it was easy to take her down because Samuel was lying in the hospital now?
Nicole sneered.
If they did think so, then they would pay the price for that.
When Nicole was with Samuel, he always took care of everything for her. Thus, she didn't need to do
anything. However, that did not mean that she was a waste.
When Olivia and Booth saw that Nicole had an idea, they felt relieved.
Nicole was a little tired because what had happened to her today.
Ever since the last incident, she was easily got tired.
She asked Booth to send Karina to a safe place first. After all, it was too dangerous here now. Besides,
Samuel was still in the hospital. Nicole had no more energy to take care of Karina.
Karina was a little reluctant, but she knew that her staying would only distract Nicole.
Booth whispered, "I'll book a plane ticket for her. She will stay in the Land City for the time being. My
men will pick her up. She can stay at my house for a while. After everything has been done here, we
can take her back. Nicole, do you think it's okay?"
"Thank you so much."
When Karina heard that she was going to stay in Booth's house, she was excited deep inside.
She gestured to Nicole, "Nicole, I'm leaving first. You don't have to worry about me. I'll take good care
of myself."
"Good girl! I'm too busy to take care of you recently. Just stay in Land City and wait for me to take you
back, okay?"
Nicole touched Karina's head and gestured.
"Okay."
Karina gestured and nodded.
Although she was reluctant to leave Nicole and Booth, she was also sensible. Under Booth's
arrangement, she was leaving for the Land City soon.
After sending Karina off, Nicole finished some arrangement and then went to have a rest.
Olivia looked at Nicole's plan and felt that it was a bit risky.
Booth whispered, "Olivia, just trust Nicole. She knows what she is doing. After all, Samuel is still lying
in the hospital. Nicole will not risk her life."
"But..."
"Oh, come on! I'm really worried about Nicole. What we should do now is to work well with her."
Booth patted Olivia on the shoulder, but he also glanced at Nicole's room.
Nicole did make a bold plan this time. Obvious, she was in a hurry to get rid of the ones behind the
scenes.
After Nicole returned to her room, she sent a message to Finn and told him to buy a bulletproof vest.
She didn't know what would happen in this action. She only knew that she had to lower the risk as
much as possible. Samuel and the children still needed her.
When Finn learned that Nicole needed a bulletproof vest, he was very surprised and asked, "Ma'am,
what do you want this for?"
"For business. How about the van I asked you to investigate?"
"I got nothing. That is a scrap van. I can't find out who owns it."
This was within Nicole's expectations.
She didn't continue the topic but asked Finn for some defensive equipment. Then she waited for Finn
to send them over.
Finn got the order and began to prepare what she needed.
Nicole then quickly lay down and closed her eyes to have a nap. She knew that she didn't have much
time left.
She didn't know how long Samuel could insist now. She still needed to find a good doctor for him, but
she couldn't leave without solving the problem here.
She wished that this risky plan could work out.
Nicole forced herself to fall asleep. Only after resting could she have the energy to carry out her plan.
Nicole fell asleep soon.
Olivia was worried about Nicole. When she opened the door, she found that Nicole was already asleep.
She couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
"I can't believe she can still fall asleep under such pressure."
When Booth heard Olivia's words, he said with some admiration, "That's because Nicole already got
some plan. I really admire her. In the most cases, a woman has already collapsed after encountering
so many things. But look at Nicole, she still stays strong. Nothing and nobody can easily defeat her."
"Only she knows the bitterness deep inside her."
Olivia closed the door of the room and said to Booth solemnly, "You must do a good job this time. We
can't afford any mistakes."
"Got it. Don't worry, Olivia. I've never disappointed you, right?"
Olivia and Booth began their preparation for this plan.
When Finn brought the things Nicole needed, Olivia and Booth were ready.
When Olivia saw Finn, she couldn't help but sneer, "Oh, it's Mr. Wood! What a rare guest! Did you go to
the wrong place?"
Finn knew about the relationship between Olivia and Nicole, and he also knew that Olivia had found out
about him standing on Laurel's side.
Olivia didn't even show any respect to Samuel when she got angry, let alone Finn.
Finn smiled bitterly and said, "Miss Olivia, don't make fun of me."
"Making fun of you? I don't dare! Finn, listen carefully! If you get Nicole into any trouble again, I'll make
your life a living hell. You hear me?"
As soon as Olivia said those words, Booth shook his head and said, "Olivia, what are you talking
about? We are good citizens."
"Even if we are good citizens, I will still drag him down to the hell!"
Olivia said fiercely.
Finn could not refute a single word. He could only listen and say, "Is Ma'am here? I have brought what
she wants."
"Just leave them here. I'll ask Nicole to transfer the money to you later."
Both Olivia and Nicole didn't like Finn. They agreed in one thing.
You can't trust anyone who once betrayed you.
Finn knew that his staying was annoying, so he might as well put down the things and leave. However,
he asked with worries, "What does Lady Green need these things for?"
"For laser tag. What? You have a problem with that?"
Finn could say nothing more.
How dare he have problems with it?
After hearing what Olivia had said, he left dejectedly.
Nicole woke up in the evening.
She was full of spirits.
Nicole stretched and opened the door. She saw Olivia and Booth looking at her with complaints.
"What's wrong?"
Nicole gestured in confusion.
"What's wrong? Nicole, do you have a conscience? You told us to act, but you didn't tell us when. We
thought we were going to act soon, but what about you? You went to bed and had a long sleep. Did
you know that we didn't even have lunch but just wait for you till now?"
Olivia touched her empty stomach and complained.
Nicole looked at her watch and realized that she had slept for a whole day.
She smiled with embarrassment and gestured, "It's my treat. Let's go down and grab some food."
"It's your treat? I earn the money, okay? Forget it. Don't go out to eat. I've ordered takeout, and it'll be
here in a while."
Olivia yawned and felt that she was really stupid. Why didn't she go to sleep like Nicole did?
Booth didn't care, though. As long as there was food, everything would be fine for him.
Nicole apologized and grinded coffee for them in a hurry.
Booth received a call from Kale and left the living room to answer it.
When Nicole returned, only Olivia was there.
"Where's Booth?"
"He went out to answer the phone."
Olivia took a sip of coffee.
Well!
It tasted good.
She couldn't help but take another sip and said, "Nicole, are you really going to do this? Actually, we
can find a safer way!"
"Those take time, and I can't wait."
"Why?"
Olivia felt that Nicole seemed to be hiding something from her.
Nicole told her about Samuel's issue.
Olivia lowered her head and pondered for a while before saying, "Can't Blair work it out?"
"I don't know. I haven't contacted Blair yet. When this matter is resolved, I'll contact him."
Determination shone in Nicole's eyes.
Olivia suddenly felt that Nicole had changed. She had become strong and independent.
Olivia didn't know whether such a change was good or not. She just hoped that Nicole's life would be
smoother in the future. After all, she had suffered too many tribulations.
Those who survive a catastrophe were bound to have good fortune later on.
How many times had Nicole escaped with bare life? When did her good fortune come?
