"Lucas!"
Nicole shouted aloud.
Lucas turned around and saw Nicole running towards him quickly, feeling a little puzzled.
"Mommy, slow down, or you'll fall."
Lucas hurried to walk up to her.
Nicole pulled Lucas behind her and vigilantly looked at the jeep in front of her. "Who are you? What are
you doing here?" she asked.
It was a young man. Seeing how Nicole protected Lucas, he was confused and then explained hastily,
"Don't mistake it, I'm just here to take a look."
"What do you want to look at? It is already a deserted old house. What's there to see?"
Nicole didn't relax her vigilance.
The man smiled apologetically and said, "I know that, but I just want to come back and have a look at
it. I heard from my parents as a kid that this was their hometown. Now that so many years have
passed, I want to come back and see what the place where my parents grew up is like."
"Your parents?"
Nicole was stunned for a moment.
Wasn't it that everyone here died in that accident?
Why would anyone survive?
"Yes. My parents left the town at the age of eighteen and joined the army. When they considered
coming back again, this place no longer exists."
The man got out of the car and stood on the land with a sad expression.
Only then did Nicole react.
It seemed that there were still people from that town alive.
"Do you remember your grandfather's name?"
"His name is Hugh Harper."
Hearing this, Nicole paused.
While going through the memorial tablets in the ancestral hall, she did see the name.
"We've bought this place and it'll be a private land. Since you're here, go and take a look. My husband
is cleaning up the ancestral hall. He's going to rebuild it."
"Rebuild it?"
The man was a little surprised, but quickly became happy.
"Madam, my name is Trevin Harper. Can I bring back my parents' memorial tablets and set them here?
Don't worry, I'll try my best to pay you no matter how much it costs. After all, this is my parents'
hometown, and I want them to rest in the place they belong to."
Trevin looked at Nicole sincerely.
Nicole thought for a while and said to him, "Go ask my husband. His mother is also from this town. She
has been away for many years and now has passed away. My husband intends to help her return to
her hometown."
"Thank you, thank you very much."
Trevin happily followed Nicole and Lucas to the ancestral hall.
Along the way, Nicole held Lucas' hand tightly, seeming to fear that he would get lost.
Lucas felt Nicole's tension and followed her quietly.
After arriving at the ancestral hall, Samuel was still cleaning up.
Trevin saw that the ancestral hall had collapsed, but all the tablets were neatly placed aside. His eyes
went moist.
"Samuel, I have something to tell you."
Nicole repeated what Trevin said to her.
Samuel looked at him and whispered, "If you're a member of the Harper family, hurry up and work."
"Huh? Well, okay."
Trevin did not react at first, but he quickly started the repair work after realizing what Samuel meant.
Seeing that Samuel was full of energy, Nicole did not want to stop him and then brought Lucas back to
the restaurant.
Nicole wondered why Blair would follow them here.
"Why are you here?"
"Why am I here? Are you and Samuel trying to give me a hard time? You both need to get acupuncture
treatment, but you actually left without my permission. So you don't want to live, do you? I'm just asking
for trouble, leaving my wife and child to look for you."
Blair said angrily.
Nicole said embarrassedly, "You also know about Samuel. Besides, he can't get past what happened to
Zama. He won't be happy unless he clears everything up."
"But you can't disregard your lives. Let me tell you, I won't come if it's someone else. Gabrielle is
pregnant, so I can't let anything happen to her."
"What? You said Gabrielle is pregnant? But isn't it that she can't..."
Nicole interrupted him.
Blair waved his hand carelessly and said, "I know what you want to say. Gabrielle can't bear children
because of me. I also thought that I won't have a child in this lifetime. However, God have mercy on
me. Plus the luck Hedy brought to us, this morning the test results showed that Gabrielle is pregnant.
So you and Samuel had better do what I tell you and get cured as soon as possible. I need to go back
to keep my wife company."
Blair said with a happy smile on his face.
Nicole was also happy for them.
Lucas smiled and said, "Is Hedy going to have a baby brother or sister?"
"Yes."
"Mommy, when are you going to give Zoe and me a little brother or sister?"
Lucas' question left Nicole at a loss for words.
Could she have another child in her life?
This reminded Nicole of Zama. Everything was over, but she did not know how to face her.
"You already have a sister. That's enough."
"But I still want a younger brother! That would be better."
Hearing this, Nicole felt a little sad.
Blair hurried to say, "Alright, you can't be that greedy! After Auntie Gabrielle has a baby, you have to
help us take care of it, okay?"
"Absolutely!"
Lucas looked happy.
Nicole looked at Blair gratefully, and then began to get acupuncture treatment.
Samuel and Trevin had been working for a while. They felt tired and sat together for a rest.
"Why do you want to go back to the town?"
Samuel started to chat.
Trevin paused and then said, "There is no place for my parents' memorial tablets."
"What do you mean?"
"They died in the line of duty, but something went wrong, and their ashes and memorial tablets cannot
be placed where they should be. I could only put them somewhere else, which isn't their home, after
all. I thought I could come take a look and bring their ashes back if possible."
Trevin was dismal when saying this.
Samuel did not ask more and said in a low voice, "I will find someone to refurbish the place, which will
take about a week. If you have time, bring your parents back. To be honest, I also came back to bury
my mother."
"Thank you, Mr. Green."
Trevin thanked him.
"What do you do?"
"I haven't graduated yet, but I'm doing a part-time job now. Don't worry, I can afford to place my
parents' tablets here."
Trevin thought Samuel was afraid that he couldn't afford it, so he said this quickly.
Samuel shook his head and said, "I'm not asking that. We're from the same town, after all. What did
you study?"
"Financial Management."
"Come look for me in the Seapolis City after graduation."
Samuel gave his business card to Trevin.
Seeing it, Trevin was stunned.
He knew how famous the Eternal Group was, so he had never thought that he would have a chance to
enter this company.
"Are you the president of the Eternal Group?"
"Yes, but I also came from the same town as you. As long as you are excellent enough, you can
definitely join the company."
"Thank you, Mr. Green."
Trevin's eyes were filled with tears in excitement.
When Nicole came back, they were still chatting.
"What are you talking about? You're not eating?"
Nicole took out the food. Blair also followed her here.
"Why are you here?"
Samuel was a little surprised to see Blair.
"'Why are you here', you two are a loving couple. Why am I here? Do you think I like this? You have to
get acupuncture for your neuralgia! If your wife learned it, I wouldn't have come."
Blair became more depressed.
Only then did Samuel remember his headache.
He said lightly, "I'm fine."
"You're fine now, but won't be so later. Eat quickly and get acupuncture treatment."
Blair knew about Samuel and didn't want to talk more with him.
Seeing the stranger, Trevin stood up quickly and said, "I'll go keep working."
"Eat first."
Seeing that Trevin was a sincere person, Nicole stopped him.
"Come eat with us. Only when you eat enough will you have the energy to work."
Samuel smiled.
Trevin couldn't refuse and sat down embarrassedly.
"Thank you."
"Hurry up and eat."
They got along quite well.
After dinner, Samuel was getting acupuncture treatment. Trevin was about to see what he could do
when his phone rang.
He looked at the caller ID and answered with a smile.
"You haven't called me for a long time."
"Yeah, how are you? Are you OK?"
"Yes."
Trevin left his phone on speaker as usual.
Hearing the familiar voice on the phone, Nicole was stunned.
She stared at Trevin quietly.
Trevin chatted with his sister for a while. It could be seen that they had a good relationship.
His sister was worried that he would live a very frugal life with poor living conditions, saying that she
wanted to send some money to him.
Trevin declined without hesitation.
"I can earn money myself. You have to save your money and prepare your dowry."
"Well, I'm still young and don't need it."
"Alright, I won't talk to you. I'm not home and will call you later."
Trevin hung up with a smile on his face.
After his call, Nicole asked, "Trevin, is Maia your sister?"
"Well? Mrs. Green, do you know my sister?"
Hearing his reply, Nicole felt this was such a small world.
She had never thought that Maia also came from this town, and she actually met her younger brother
here.
Nicole nodded and said, "Yes, your sister is now working in my travel company. She is very excellent."
"Really? Then Mrs. Green, please show more care for my sister. She is a careless and straightforward
person, and sometimes doesn't know how to be with someone. But she's very kind. If she says
something unpleasant to hear, don't take it to heart."
Trevin kept saying nice things for Maia. Nicole was very envious of the deep bond between them.
"Of course I won't. She's very good, don't worry. Your sister is currently in Médoc. Do you have time to
meet her?"
No, don't tell her that I'm back at the town."
What Trevin said baffled Nicole.
"Why?"
