"Martha, I...."
"Forget it. Forget what I have said today and what I'm going to do. I won't ask you to do anything else. I
just hope that you keep it as a secret and don't stop me, okay? Please promise me. Nicole, even for
your mother and me, please promise me."
Martha held Nicole's hand tightly.
Nicole was in a dilemma.
"Martha, I really...."
"Nicole, I'm your aunt. Tim is your cousin. We are of the same blood. Do you have the heart to see him
ruin his own life?"
As Martha said like that, Nicole was immediately stuck for words and was unable to utter a single word.
"I promise that I won't hurt Maia. I just want to send her away and not let her be with Tim. No matter
what it is, she is kind to me and has saved me. I won't take revenge for her kindness."
Noticing that Nicole was hesitant, Martha persuaded Nicole hurriedly.
In the end, Nicole acquiesced.
Martha said happily, "Have a rest here for a while. I'll be right back. By the way, call Tim to distract him.
Otherwise, I won't be able to do anything, right?"
"Martha, you'd better not...."
"I just beg you for this time. Nicole, you're also a mother. I beg you."
Under Martha's plea, Nicole was really in a dilemma.
Nicole had to call Tim in front of Martha.
"Where are you?"
"I'm still at the emergency room. What's wrong?"
Tim sounded very tired.
Nicole looked at Martha. Martha winked at Nicole and motioned Nicole to help her.
Nicole hesitated for a moment and said, "Can you come over now?"
"What's the matter? Isn't Samuel by your side? Nicole, I'm really not available. You also know Maia's
situation. I...."
"Your mother fell and was in the hospital. She is in the Department of Orthopaedics, the First People's
Hospital."
Immediately, Tim became nervous for what Nicole had said.
"How is my mother? Why did she fall? Where did she fall?"
"Don't be nervous. She fell down the stairs at home. The doctor said that she needed to be
hospitalized. You'd better come over."
Nicole finished speaking in one breath.
Tim was in a dilemma, but he still said, "OK. I'll be there soon. Help me take care of my mother for a
while. I'll find someone to take care of Maia."
When Martha heard that her son was still worried about her, she couldn't help but feel a bit delighted.
"It's better to have a son."
After Nicole hung up the phone, Martha said feelingly.
However, Nicole always felt that it was not right.
"Martha, what's your plan?"
"What else can I do? I'll go over now. Tell me which floor Maia is at the Central Hospital."
By then, Martha lifted the blanket.
Nicole said worriedly, "Martha, your feet are hurt. Don't walk around."
"I can sacrifice my feet for my son. I've done too little for him in my life. Nicole, help me stall Tim. Thank
you."
Then Martha stood up and left the ward with difficulty.
Nicole tried to stop Martha, but Nicole didn't in the end.
After Martha walked out of the ward, she called Tim again.
"Tim, your mother went to the Central Hospital to find Maia. You'd better not come over. I was forced to
call you."
Tim was slightly surprised.
"So my mother is fine?"
"She did get hurt. She fell and it is serious. The doctor advised her to stay and recuperate in the
hospital, but she didn't want Maia to badger you like this, so...."
Tim immediately fell silent.
"Are you still listening to me?"
"Yes!"
"Tim, I have something to tell you."
Nicole thought about it and whispered, "Your mother told me that she and my mother Audrey were
sisters. It means that she is my aunt and I am your cousin."
Hearing Nicole's words, Tim was surprised.
"What did you say?"
"I knew it just now, my dear cousin."
Nicole smiled humorously, but Tim felt sad.
'The woman I love the most is actually my cousin.'
'It is so ridiculous.'
"My mother told you that?"
"Yes."
"Have you confirmed it?"
"I don't think she would lie to me about this. Besides, my mother isn't in the Seapolis City, so I can't
confirm it. Your mother advised me to do a paternity test. Do you think it's necessary?"
Tim felt depressed for Nicole's words again.
They even mentioned the paternity test, so it was probably true.
"Nicole, you are relieved now, aren't you? You finally get rid of me. If I continue to pester you, I'll be no
more than a monster, right?"
"What are you talking about? Didn't you give up long ago?"
Tim smiled bitterly.
Giving up?
He didn't even know.
"OK. I see. I'll handle this."
"Do you need me to go over?"
Nicole knew that it was not appropriate for her to come over. Perhaps she would be in a dilemma and
Martha would also blame her, but Nicole was worried.
If there really was someone behind Maia, the hospital would be the most dangerous place at this time.
Tim was jittery, so he might not be able to protect Maia and Martha at the same time.
Obviously, Tim had also considered this.
He whispered, "Come over here. Bring the Green family's bodyguards. I'm afraid I won't be able to
handle it by myself."
Tim was such a person.
He knew when he was in control and when he needed help from others. He would not overrate himself.
Apart from saving Samuel in Dungeon last time, Tim was quite sensible.
Since Tim asked for help, Nicole naturally wouldn't refuse.
"OK. I'll be right there."
After hanging up the phone, she told Samuel and drove away from the hospital.
Martha left by taxi. Nicole didn't find her, so Nicole went to the hospital to block Martha.
However, just as Nicole was about to arrive at the hospital, she suddenly saw a person who absolutely
shouldn't have showed up at this time.
Mrs. Louis, Bella!
Bella dressed in a low-key style today, and her whereabouts were somewhat mysterious.
Bella covered her face with a black hat. If Nicole hadn't been to the Louis' a few times and seen Bella,
Nicole might not have recognized her.
Bella's appearance was too different from her usual ones.
Nicole suddenly remembered the conjecture of Samuel and her. Why did Bella come here? Was it
because of Maia?
She hurriedly called Tim.
"Tim, Bella has arrived at the hospital. She covers her face and looks suspicious. You'd better pay
attention to her. For your mother or Maia, I think we should be more cautious. I'll send you her photo."
"OK. Be careful."
Tim hung up the phone.
Nicole watched Bella sneak into the hospital and followed behind Bella subconsciously.
The bodyguards behind Nicole whispered, "Mrs. Green, leave her to us. Don't take a risk."
"I can handle it. Don't follow me too close. By the way, you guys go upstairs, look for Tim and see if he
needs any help. Just leave one person on my side. Hurry up."
Nicole arranged quickly.
The bodyguards hesitated.
"Mrs. Green, Mr. Green told us to protect you. If anything happens to you, we can't afford it."
"I won't let you guys bear the consequence. I will be careful. If it is out of my control, I'll leave. Hurry up.
Tim needs help."
"But...."
"Don't waste time. Go upstairs!"
Nicole was a little angry.
Noticing that Nicole was angry, the bodyguards looked at each other and left behind the most powerful
one. The others left.
Nicole watched Bella enter the corridor and said to the bodyguard beside her, "May I have your name?"
"Micah Green."
"Your last name is also Green?"
Nicole was somewhat surprised and curious.
Micah's dimples appeared when he smiled. He looked very cute.
"Mrs. Green, I was adopted by Mr. Green from the orphanage. We were trained together, so I took the
surname of the Green family."
"I see."
Nicole nodded and whispered, "Micah, follow me. If you find anything wrong, play it by ear. Do you
understand?"
"I see."
"OK. Follow me."
Nicole quietly followed Bella.
After Bella entered the hospital, she looked around and confirmed that there was no one. After that,
she went to an Orthopaedic ward.
Nicole was puzzled.
Maia was still in the emergency room. Who was Bella looking for in the Department of Orthopaedics?
Nicole involuntarily followed.
The door to the ward was closed, so it was a bit difficult for Nicole to hear what they were talking inside.
Micah pointed at the window. Nicole immediately understood. However, Micah whispered, "Mrs. Green,
this is the 13th floor. If you are unsteady on your feet or someone finds you out, the window is the most
unsafe place. I'd like to climb up by myself. If you're afraid that I can't hear it clearly, I'll use the
recording on my phone to record it for you."
"It's fine. I can handle it. You stay here to help me."
Immediately, Micah was scared and broke out in a cold sweat for Nicole's words.
"Mrs. Green, please spare me. If something happens to you, Mr. Green is not going to go easy on me."
"Samuel is not that scary. He won't hurt you. He just doesn't smile that much. Listen. Samuel and I are
on deuce. I can climb up the window, can't I?"
Micah was shocked.
"Mrs. Green, you and Mr. Green are on deuce!"
"Would you like to make a phone call and ask Mr. Green?"
Nicole looked at Micah.
Micah hesitated.
"I'd like to climb up to eavesdrop. Can't you stay here to help me?"
"Bella knows me, but she doesn't know you. If anything happens, you can pretend to be a doctor or a
patient and get me out of it. Bella knows me. If she sees me when she goes out, everything will be
exposed. OK. It's settled."
After saying that, Nicole took off her coat and climbed up the window of Bella's ward from the other
ward.
Fortunately, the windows of the ward were open in such a weather.
Nicole hung outside the window like a gecko. She glanced through the window and was
surprised.
