Laurence?
Nicole quickly shook off Allen and ran towards Laurence. However, before she could run to Laurence,
he had already got in a car.
Nicole quickly ran to the car, trying to catch up. But it was simply too fast.
Allen breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Nicole did not catch up with the car in the end.
He came to Nicole and whispered, "Get in the car. We haven't seen each other for a long time. I'll buy
you a cup of coffee."
However, Nicole ignored Allen as if she didn't hear him. She looked at Laurence's car and quickly took
out her phone to text Laurence.
When Allen discovered that Nicole had Laurence's phone number, he couldn't help but be stunned.
"You know Laurence? Why do you know Laurence?"
In Allen's impression, everything that Nicole did with her work was about Samuel. Samuel had no
interaction with Laurence. How could Nicole know Laurence?
However, Nicole did not have time to explain to Allen. She quickly sent a message, "Laurence, I am
Nicole. I'm at the door of the Miller's. Can you come back soon when you see this? I want to find
Morgan, and I must see Adela."
Laurence's phone rang.
He glanced at it and found out that it was Nicole. After reading her message, his face turned pale.
"Turn around."
Laurence hurriedly asked the driver to turn around and go back.
Seeing that Nicole ignored him, Allen hurriedly grabbed Nicole's arm again and said, "Did you hear
what I said? Nicole, I know that you hate me because of what happened before. But you can't be here
now."
Nicole looked coldly at Allen, hoping that he would let go. But Allen did not notice Nicole's intentions at
all.
"Nicole, can you just listen to me once? I have never lied to you over the years, have I?"
Nicole shook off Allen, but she fell to the ground with a thump.
"Nicole, are you alright?"
Allen stepped forward to help Nicole up, but was dodged by Nicole.
At this moment, Nicole's phone rang. It was a text message from Gabrielle.
"How is it? Have you seen Morgan?"
"No, Morgan is missing. I need to find her as soon as possible."
Nicole replied quickly.
Allen finally noticed something was wrong.
"Nicole, why don't you say anything? You don't call, but just text. Is there something wrong with your
throat?"
Nicole paused for a moment, but she still didn't look at Allen.
There was no need to tell Allen what had happened to her.
"Speak! What's wrong with you? How did Samuel take care of you? If I knew you're living like this, I
shouldn't have let go back then. I..."
Before Allen could finish his words, Nicole suddenly looked up at Allen. Her indifferent gaze caused
Allen to be slightly shocked.
Nicole's gaze was so unfamiliar, full of impatience, as if he was a passer-by and the past five years
they had spent together had ceased to exist.
Allen knew that he had asked for all of this. If he hadn't gone too far, perhaps he and Nicole would still
be friends. But now...
He involuntarily took a step back in a complicated mood.
At this moment, Laurence was back.
When Laurence got out of the car, he saw Allen and couldn't help but frown.
"Mr. Brook, why are you here?"
Allen looked at Laurence and restrained his emotions, saying, "Why are you here?"
"This has nothing to do Mr. Brook, right?"
After Laurence finished speaking, he looked at Nicole with anxiety.
"Mrs. Green, you shouldn't come here. Get in the car. Let's talk in the car."
Hearing Laurence's words, Nicole was about to board the car. But Allen stopped her.
"Wait, you know each other?"
"Does it have anything to do with you, Mr. Brook?"
Laurence was extremely disgusted with Allen's obstruction of Nicole.
Allen said coldly, "When did you know Nicole? What are your intentions for her?"
Nicole felt that Allen was too much.
She pushed Allen away and wrote on her phone, "Can you stay out of my affairs? Who do I know and
who don't know have any relationship with you? Or do you want to explain to me why you had plastic
surgery for me to make me look like Adela?"
Allen's face immediately turned pale.
"How did you know that you and Adela..."
"We've met. We're still good friends. Do you have any other questions?"
Nicole was about to lose all her patience.
She was worried about Samuel and wanted to find Morgan quickly, but Allen had been stopping her. If
it wasn't for the fact that she couldn't speak, Nicole would really swear at him.
Allen never thought that Adela and Nicole would become friends. In his opinion, Nicole and Adela were
people from two different worlds. Most importantly, Adela had never gone out, so how did Nicole know
her?
However, before Allen could ask this question, Nicole got in Laurence's car. By the time Allen wanted to
stop Nicole again, Nicole had already left with Laurence.
When Nicole saw Allen in the back mirror, she couldn't help but frown slightly.
What was the relationship between Allen and the Miller family?
Why did Allen make her look like Adela back then?
Nicole had too many questions, but she didn't have the chance or time to ask.
When Laurence saw the complicated look in Nicole's eyes at Allen, he couldn't help but ask, "Do you
know each other?"
"We used to be friends, but now we are not."
Nicole gestured.
"I see."
Laurence nodded.
Nicole didn't have time to explain everything to Laurence what had happened between Allen and her.
She could only gesture, "What happened to the Miller family? Do you know where Morgan is? I need to
find Morgan now. Laurence, you must help me."
Laurence's body trembled, and his face darkened.
"What's the matter?"
Seeing his expression, Nicole knew that she shouldn't ask again. But she was really anxious.
Laurence looked at Nicole and sighed, "Adela is dead."
"What?"
Nicole was quite surprised.
Previously, when she saw Adela, Adela was still fine. Why did she die after a few days?
Laurence looked extremely painful.
"I'm not lying to you. The Miller family has sealed off the news. Other than us, no one knows about
Adela's death. In other words, other than me and Adela's parents, no one knows that Adela is dead."
Nicole was silent for a while and asked, "Does Allen know?"
"I don't know. He recently wanted to cooperate with the Miller family. The Miller family had locked
themselves in. Perhaps Allen guessed that something had happened to the Miller family."
"Adela was fine before. How could it be..."
"I don't know, maybe Morgan made a mistake. Previously, when Morgan came, Adela's illness had
improved. But for some reason, after Morgan returned from a trip, Adela started to deteriorate and was
dead in a few days. Morgan also hid because of this matter. We were looking for her everywhere, but
there was no news of her. She seemed to have disappeared from the world. We could not find any
traces. I even suspect that she has been silenced."
"She has been silenced? What do you mean?"
Nicole was shocked again.
Laurence looked at the road ahead and whispered, "When the Miller family invited Morgan to treat
Adela, Morgan said that Adela only had an ordinary cold. However, one night, Morgan suddenly
disappeared. She came back from outside in the morning. She said that she had returned from
morning exercises, but I smelled the scent of the sea from her body. You know, I'm a special person.
The Miller's is very far from the seaside. It takes four hours to drive. It is impossible for her to go to the
seaside for morning exercises. Ever since then, Adela's illness had begun to deteriorate. Then she said
she had something to do and needed to leave for two days. I checked afterwards. She went to the
Land City those two days."
Hearing Laurence's words, Nicole was stunned.
"When did it happen?"
"Not long ago. I don't know what she went to Land City for, but she should have seen you."
After hearing Laurence's words, Nicole nodded.
"Yes, she did go to me and said that she could help me with my throat. But she needed me to agree to
the Miller family's condition. At that time, when Morgan said this condition, she was very mysterious.
She let me agree to this condition first, then she would treat my throat. Therefore, I rejected her. She
left the next day. I have never seen her since."
Nicole gestured.
Laurence nodded and said, "I believe you. However, the cause of Adela's death is unknown. It looked
like she had died of illness. However, I always felt that something was wrong. The Miller family secretly
managed a funeral on the night of Adela's death. Adela is Mr. Miller's only daughter. He dotes on
Adela. Don't you think it's abnormal for her to be cremated and buried overnight after dying from illness
like this?"
Nicole frowned slightly.
Normally speaking, it was not normal. But special circumstances, such as infectious diseases, cannot
be ruled out.
"What's wrong with Adela?"
Laurence shook his head and said, "I don't know. Morgan didn't tell us what's wrong with Adela. At first,
we thought it was an ordinary cold, but she coughed more and more severely. In the end, she coughed
up blood. We thought it was tuberculosis, but it was confirmed that it wasn't. I still don't know what kind
of illness Adela has."
"How come?"
Nicole felt that it was too surprising, but at the same time, she was also a little anxious.
Andrew was dead and Morgan was missing. As if they had discussed it beforehand, everyone who
could cure Samuel had an accident at the same time.
Was this a coincidence?
Nicole suddenly had an illusion, as if someone was secretly guiding the development of all of this and
did not want Samuel to wake up.
But who was it?
Nicole thought a lot, but she couldn't find such a person.
Laurence drove Nicole. Nicole didn't ask where Laurence was taking her to. But when Laurence's car
stopped, Nicole couldn't help but be stunned.
"Why do you bring me here?"
Nicole asked doubtfully. But Laurence directly pulled her out of the car.
