"What do you want to do? If you dare to harm Samuel, I will not spare you. Even if I would be sent to
prison, I will make you pay the price."
Nicole hurriedly gestured to warn Zama, but Zama suddenly threw her to the side.
"Stop pointing fingers at me. You have got acupuncture treatment. Try to speak."
Nicole was astonished.
"Say something. Aren't you going to scold me? Aren't you threatening me? Come on, say it out. I don't
have time to watch you make gestures."
After that, Zama ignored Nicole.
Nicole was confused.
She was completely shocked and she did not know what to do.
She could feel the numbness in her throat. According to what Zama said, Nicole should be able to
speak some words now. Nicole was very happy, but she was still eyeing Zama warily.
Zama no longer cared what Nicole thought of her. She looked at Samuel and reached out to press a
few acupuncture points on Samuel's head. Then, her expression became somewhat serious.
Nicole was anxious.
She subconsciously wanted to make gestures. Thinking of what Zama said, she opened her mouth and
said, "How's he?"
Nicole tried her best to speak, but her voice was very low and hoarse, barely able to be heard. Nicole
felt that her vocal cords were painful as if they were burning.
She covered her throat with her hand in pain.
Zama said without looking up, "If you want to speak again, your vocal cords have to be stimulated. If
you fear of pain, you can give up now. Whether or not you can talk has nothing to do with me."
Nicole gritted her teeth and continued, "How is he?"
"It's not good. His nerves were badly injured, and he is in a deep hypnotic state. Laurel is hateful. She
hates Samuel for doing anything because she didn't give birth to him."
Nicole endured the pain and said, "But she treats Vincent very well."
"That's different. Vincent has had no thought of his own since childhood. Compared with Samuel,
Vincent has average intelligence, and he is a little unconfident. As long as others treat him a little nicer,
he will treat others with kindness. Laurel treated him as her own child, and he didn't know his history.
Therefore, he is nice to Laurel. Vincent is easier to be controlled than Samuel. Samuel is too
independent and has a strong sense of self. And he is highly intelligent. That worries Laurel. She has
treated Samuel with vigilance since Samuel was young. In addition, Samuel is in charge of all the
business of the Green family. So she doesn't dare to do anything to Samuel. She is also much more
distant from Samuel. Vincent is not capable, or Laurel will most likely let the two brothers kill each
other. It is possible. Look what she did ruthlessly to Samuel."
Zama rubbed Samuel's acupoints as she spoke.
Nicole didn't know what to say.
She didn't know much about Laurel, otherwise she wouldn't have been harmed by Laurel. Many things
seemed reasonable and worthy of forgiveness, but now she thought that Laurel seem to have planned
them beforehand.
Nicole suddenly felt that Laurel was too vicious. Fortunately, Laurel was dead. Otherwise, Nicole would
really have trouble sleeping and eating.
After massaging Samuel, Zama sighed and said, "I can treat him, but I don't have time."
"What do you mean?"
Nicole was puzzled.
Zama smiled bitterly and said, "Perhaps I've done too much harmful things offensive to God and
reason, so God is killing me."
"You will die?"
"Everyone will not die. Those who will not die are not humans."
Zama looked at Nicole and said, "I have cancer, terminal cancer. I will die in a few days. Samuel's
illness requires long-term acupuncture treatment. I don't think I can survive until he recovers. Starting
tomorrow, you can bring Blair in. If there is anyone among the younger generation who can assume my
mantle, Blair is the only one that can let me rest assured. After all, he will not harm Samuel. With him
by Samuel's side, I'll die happy."
Zama seemed to be saying last words. Nicole was a little slow on the uptake.
"Do you really want to teach Blair?"
"I don't need to lie to you now. You saw what I looked like yesterday. It's been a long time. I reckon I will
die in about half a month."
Zama smiled a little miserably.
"You're a doctor, aren't you?"
"It's hard for doctors to treat themselves. Besides, how can I cure cancer?"
Zama looked at Nicole and smiled, "Do you feel relieved? I'm finally dying. You will remember all the
harmful things I did to you in the past, right?"
"Do you think I can forget?"
"That's right, no one can forget that kind of things. I don't beg for your forgiveness. I just hope that you
will treat Samuel better for the rest of your life. After all, he has no family in this world anymore."
Zama touched Samuel's face with some nostalgia. Her eyes were filled with tears.
Nicole whispered, "He has family. He has a son, a daughter, and me. We will live a happy life."
"Yeah, without my participation, you guys will be very happy. How are Lucas and Zoe now?"
Zama never asked about the children. Nicole immediately became alert.
"What do you want to do? Whether your illness is true or not, I won't let the children come to visit you.
Don't even think about it."
Zama was not surprised by Nicole's answer, but she was a little disappointed.
"I'm just asking. Go out. I'm going to treat Samuel. If you're worried, you can let Blair in."
Zama immediately chased Nicole away.
"I want to stay here."
"You can do nothing here but disturb me. Get out."
Zama was a little tough.
Nicole had no choice. She needed Zama to treat Samuel now, so she could only listen to Zama.
Nicole went out and told Blair about what Zama said.
Blair was a little surprised, but Neil was a little anxious.
"Can I go and watch? I'm a medical student. You know, there's no way to explain the fanaticism of
medical students."
"Neil, forget it. Zama is dangerous. Don't go in."
Gabrielle directly refused.
She was not afraid that Neil would learn Zama's special treating skills, but she feared that Zama would
kidnap Neil.
"But..."
"Alright, I'll teach you after I come out."
What Blair said amused Neil.
"You promise."
"Yes, I promise. I'm going in."
After Blair finished speaking, he went in.
Nicole was a little anxious and didn't want to leave. Gabrielle comforted her, "Let's go check Zama's
file."
"Are you afraid that she's lying to us?"
Nicole was slightly shocked.
"We have to be on guard against her," said Gabrielle.
Nicole nodded.
They went to the prison's archives, showed their papers and explained their intention. And then they
checked Zama's file.
Zama would die soon.
Nicole knew that she didn't need to sympathize with Zama. Just as Zama had said, she had done too
much harmful things so God was killing her. Nicole didn't need to sigh about such a result, but she felt
a bit heavy-hearted.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling sorry for her?"
Gabrielle asked when she saw that Nicole was in a bad mood.
Nicole shook her head and said, "No, I just suddenly feel that human life is really fragile. Everyone will
die one day, no matter he is a good man or a bad man. I used to think that we still have a lot of time,
but now I suddenly realize that one-third of my life has passed. No matter how much bad things Zama
had done, she will do a good thing if she teaches Blair her medical skills."
"Yes. It's a pity if no one learns her medical skills. If she was not in such a condition, I would have
asked her for advice on how to treat Maia."
Nicole nodded in agreement.
"Yeah, but she doesn't even have time to treat Samuel. What about Maia? Where exactly is Morgan?"
"Perhaps Morgan is in hiding."
Seeing that Nicole was upset, Gabrielle asked, "You have talked a lot. Have a rest. Don't be too
anxious. After all, your vocal cords are damaged. It's not easy for you to make a sound now. I only
hope that when Samuel wakes up, you will also recover your vocal cords. Good things will come in
pairs."
"Yes."
Nicole nodded.
When they came out of the archive room, Neil anxiously stood on tiptoe and tried to look inside.
However, he could see nothing. He was so agitated that he was like an ant on a hot pan.
Nicole suddenly felt much better.
There was hope that Samuel's illness could be cured, so she felt much more relaxed.
Blair stayed inside for about an hour. When he came out with Samuel, he was covered in sweat.
Seeing Samuel's rosy face, Nicole heaved a sigh of relief.
"How did it end up like this? You seemed to work so hard."
It pained Gabrielle. After all, wives would always love their husbands.
Blair smiled and said, "I'm fine. It's indeed a stamina job. Zama's medical skills are really amazing. I
was almost hypnotized by her."
"What?"
Gabrielle and Nicole instantly became nervous.
Blair smiled, "Don't be nervous, she didn't hypnotize me. None of us know that Zama is a master
hypnotist. She can also enter one's nervous system while the latter is unconscious. However, it's very
troublesome. Zama vomited blood. She probably won't be able to give Samuel acupuncture for the next
few days. Fortunately, she taught me acupuncture techniques. I can treat Samuel."
"Sounds great."
They were very happy and brought Samuel back to the hotel.
Three days passed quickly. Nicole could speak clearer. The only bad thing was that she felt pain in the
throat when she spoke.
Zama demanded to meet Nicole.
Nicole went to meet her.
When Nicole met Zama again, she was astonished.
Zama was haggard with hollow eyes. Nicole couldn't believe that this old woman was Zama who
tortured her with all sorts of cruel methods back then.
"What? Are you surprised?"
Zama smiled weakly and kept coughing. She vomited out a mouthful of blood and lay on the
table.
