Nicole was afraid that Tim would do something rude to Maia, so she hurriedly ran out of the ward. Then
she saw that Maia was pushed against the wall by Tim.
Maia was 1.5 meters tall and Tim was 1.85, which somewhat formed a contrast. Besides, Maia's
unyielding eyes made her look like an untamed wolf, which could arise one's desire to conquer her.
Nicole suddenly felt that Tim and Maia matched each other.
She stopped because of such a feeling. She stood at the door, watching what was going on between
Tim and Maia.
Maia tried to push Tim away. But she failed. So she was a little angry.
"Let go of me!"
"Aren't you quite capable? Don't you have many strengths? Didn't you say that I'm a gigolo instead of a
man? Now push me away!"
Tim mocked at Maia.
Her height didn't even reach his shoulders. But she wanted to teach him a lesson?
It was ridiculous.
Maia was so angry that her face turned red.
Tim was too hateful.
She stood on tiptoe and took a bite at Tim's shoulder.
"Ah! Damn it! Are you a dog?"
Tim was caught off guard and took a step back in pain.
Maia took the opportunity and kicked Tim in the crotch.
"...."
Tim covered his crotch and jumped, and his face turned red with anger.
"Damn it..."
Tim twitched in pain.
This woman was ruthless!
Nicole trembled when she saw this.
She knew Tim must feel very painful.
Maia's kick wouldn't lead to Tim's sexual dysfunction, right?
Maia ignored his shouting and said angrily, "If you dare to bully a woman again, I will make you die
sonless!"
After saying that, Maia turned around and left.
"I will never forget what you've done. Holy shit!"
Due to the pain, Tim could feel cold sweat on his forehead.
Nicole wanted to laugh, but she didn't dare to do that in front of Tim. She stepped forward and
gestured, "Should I call a doctor for you?"
Looking at Nicole's happy face, Tim couldn't help but feel a little frustrated.
"Nicole, are you kidding? You are laughing at me while I am like this? Where did you find such a
heartless woman?"
Tim took several deep breaths in pain.
Shit! If his sexual function went wrong, that short woman would be sorry.
Looking at the direction Maia had taken, Tim thought angrily.
On the other hand, Nicole gloated and gestured, "Samuel is fine. Bad people did some inappropriate
pinching to him. But you are facing a different situation. If something happens to you, then the
happiness for the rest of your life will be ruined. Hurry up and go to the doctor. Maia's kick just now
wasn't light."
"Her name is Maia? Alright, I remember her."
Tim was a little worried about himself. He limped to see the doctor.
Nicole was in a better mood after all this.
She returned to the ward and took out a towel to wipe Samuel's hands. She used the voice conversion
software to say, "Samuel, what do you think of Tim and Maia getting together? I think it's great. Tim
needs someone like Maia to control him."
Samuel was lying there. He gave Nicole no reaction as usual.
Nicole got used to it.
At first, she felt heartache. But now she could accept Samuel being like this. Not everyone could
understand these changes in her heart.
She felt she was supported as long as Samuel was alive, even if he could only lie on the hospital bed
every day and say nothing. At least, their home was still there, and he was still alive.
Blair had called her a few times in the past few days, but he didn't deliver her exactly good news.
Nicole also asked other friends to look for doctors in this field, but they all advised her to be mentally
prepared for bad news.
She looked at Samuel.
He lost weight again.
Without the support of food, it was already a miracle that his muscles didn't atrophy just relying on
nutrient solution.
She was very anxious, but there was nothing she could do.
Lucas had urged her many times and asked her when they would return. Nicole didn't know how to tell
the children about Samuel's situation.
Especially Joseph.
He finally got rid of autism. Nicole didn't know what would happen if Joseph found Samuel had become
like this.
Nicole felt that the burden on her suddenly became heavier.
She looked at Samuel and whispered, "Please get better. Otherwise, I can't hold on. Samuel, are you
willing to let me suffer by myself?"
If Samuel was fine, he would say no. But now, his five senses were malfunctioning. He could neither
hear nor move. He could only lie there, making people feel sorry for him.
Doctors and nurses did routine rounds.
Nicole asked the doctor about Samuel's situation, but the doctor's answer was still the same. She could
even recite it.
At this moment, her phone rang.
It was Booth and Olivia's call.
She took her phone and went outside.
Olivia's voice sounded as soon as Nicole answered the phone.
"Nicole, we've arrived. According to the clues provided by the informant, we found traces of Brian.
Don't worry about us. We'll inform you if there's any news."
Nicole hung up the phone and sent a message to Olivia.
"You guys must be careful. If things go wrong, promise me you'll keep your own safety even if the cost
is to let Brian get off scot-free. I don't have many friends. You're my best friends. I don't want anything
to happen to you."
"I see. Don't worry. We're not stupid. Booth is driving. He can't talk to you. By the way, how's Samuel?"
Olivia was afraid that Nicole could not hold on by herself.
"He is still the same. Blair has been here. He was not sure that he will succeed. We're still looking for
doctors and experts. We can only take our time now. But I'm afraid that I can't hide it from Lucas
anymore."
Nicole was distressed.
"If things go bad, bring Samuel to the Seapolis City or the Land City. At least there's someone to take
care of Samuel, and Jacob can share your burden."
Seeing Olivia's words, Nicole replied, "No, the Eternal Group has been unstable this year. I don't know
how many uncertainties there are. Although Jacob is in charge now, I heard that the burden on Jacob is
not light, and there seems to be some controversy within the company. If they knew that Samuel had
become like this, whether the company could continue will be a question. Moreover, Samuel's current
condition is not suitable for transferring. "
"But you can't stay there alone. That place is unfamiliar to you. And you didn't ask for help! Booth and I
are worrying about you."
Nicole was alone there. Olivia couldn't feel at ease.
Nicole typed, "Tim is here. Don't worry. He will stay here for a while. It seems that he has some work to
do. With him here, you can rest assured."
Knowing that Tim was beside Nicole, Olivia finally felt relieved.
"Alright, call us if there anything goes wrong. We'll be right back. Nicole, you're in an unfamiliar place.
Don't do anything that may put yourself in danger, okay? We're not here. Even with Tim guarding you,
you still need to be cautious. When Samuel's better, we'll go back."
"Alright."
Then Nicole and Olivia continued chatting for a while. Afterwards, Nicole closed her phone.
"Who are you chatting with? Why aren't you guarding your Samuel?"
When Tim appeared in front of Nicole again, he looked much better.
Nicole smiled and gestured, "I just had a chat with Olivia. By the way, are you here for business?"
"I am here mainly to see you. As for the business, it's not a big deal. I just needed to find someone."
Tim frowned slightly when he mentioned this.
"Who are you looking for?"
"A jewelry designer. It is said that the designer is settled here. We didn't find out where the designer is
yet. But I'm not in a hurry. I've opened a new jewelry shop. Emerald is very popular here. I plan to take
a look. I'll buy some if the emeralds here are great in quality. People have started to take fancy to
emeralds and beeswax in the past few years. Products made of emeralds have great market potential.
I have some raw stones that need to be polished by a jewelry designer. But I just got started and
haven't found the designer. Speaking of that, it's a pity that your major is car design! Why didn't you
learn jewelry design in college? If your profession is jewelry design, I don't need to find someone else
now."
Tim said a lot.
Nicole smiled and looked in the direction of the ward.
She learned car design because of Samuel.
"You can do your own thing. You don't have to watch me over all day. I'm fine. Don't worry. No matter
what happens to Samuel, I'll stay by his side like this. Don't stop dating because of me. Tim, you're an
adult now. It's time to start a family. If a suitable girl shows up, you'd better not miss her."
Nicole gestured, showing great care to Tim.
Tim's expression was a little gloomy.
"Don't you know where the love of my life is? Nicole, do you have to be so cruel? You don't want to
marry me. It's fine. I can accept that. But do you have to push me to others? Do you think I am short of
women?"
"I know you aren't. But I don't want you to waste your time on me. You also know that in my life, I will
only accept Samuel. After what I've experienced, he is still the only one I love."
Nicole's words made Tim somewhat depressed.
"Shut up! What I do and who I love are my business. Just love Samuel. Why do you care about me? I
want to love you. I don't want to get married. I want to be single. Why did you say those words?
Feelings bad for me? If you really feel bad for me, why don't you marry me?"
"Tim, stop this nonsense."
Nicole sighed and gestured, "You should think for your mother. I think she would like to see you get
married and have children. Perhaps your mother's illness will be cured if you get married."
Hearing Nicole talking about his mother, Tim felt some sorrow. He whispered, "Leave me alone. I'll
never change the decisions I've made. And I'll never give up the love of my life. Nicole, you can never
get rid of me in this life."
"Do you have to be so stubborn?"
"I'm just following my heart!"
After saying that, Tim turned around and left, but the person walking over made his face darken again.
