"Who is it?"
Nicole subconsciously tried to look for that person who had bumped into Cara, but unfortunately,
nothing could be seen.
She hurriedly unfolded the note in hand. After reading it, she immediately frowned.
"Ask Samuel to stop dealing with the Millers if you want your mother alive."
Nicole's heart pounded.
It had been long since she last heard from Audrey, and she had always been worried. She had asked
Finn to find Audrey's whereabouts. Unfortunately, before Finn could say anything to her, he was caught
by Laurel.
Now, a threatening note suddenly appeared in her hand. Nicole felt really chilly.
Although she was not in the Green's, it was Adela's funeral today, Laurence, Samuel and their men
were all here. There were so many people here, yet a person managed to stuff a note into her hand
unnoticed. It scared Nicole just to think about it.
Night Elf Empire was developed by Samuel personally. The Millers had people in it?
Thinking about this, Nicole was shocked.
"Mrs. Green, are you alright?"
Cara failed to grab anything to keep her balance and directly fell to the ground. Her arms and legs were
bleeding, but she didn't stop. She hurriedly went to see how Nicole was doing.
Nicole held the note tightly in hand and said calmly, "I'm fine. You should go to see the doctor later."
"It was nothing big. Some ointment will do. I'm not that fragile. Who was it just now? Why didn't I see
anyone?"
After Cara finished speaking, she felt a chill run down her spine.
She couldn't help but glance at Adela's cemetery and said in a low voice, "Could it be..."
"Don't be superstitious! Even if ghosts really exist, Adela won't do anything to harm me. Let's go back
first."
Nicole looked around and did not find anyone suspicious. She returned to the ward with unease.
Samuel and Laurence were busy. After Adela was buried, Laurence settled down her parents and
planned to bring them back to the Seapolis City with Samuel.
Samuel was also busy with this matter. When he returned to the ward, he saw Nicole staring out the
window in a daze. He hugged her from behind.
"What's wrong? What's on your mind?"
"Nothing. Life is really fragile. Adela is only in her early twenties, but she's actually gone."
Nicole sighed.
"Everyone has their own destinies. That's why we have to make every day count. You never know
which will come first, accident or death. The only thing we can do is to spend as many years as
possible with each other. Even if we die and become ghosts, we'll be a ghost couple then."
Hearing this, Nicole rolled her eyes at Samuel.
"What are you talking about? I don't want to be your ghost wife. Samuel, I have something to tell you."
Nicole thought for a while and told Samuel about what happened.
"What is it?"
"Look at this."
She handed the note to Samuel.
When Samuel saw the note, his face turned pale.
"Who gave it to you?"
"I don't know. When I was about to get in the car at Adela's funeral, someone bumped into me, and
then there was this note. Neither Cara nor I saw who it was. Later, I looked for the nearby surveillance
cameras. The footage was blurry. It seemed to be a woman. She wasn't tall, but I couldn't see her face
clearly. Take a look yourself."
As Nicole spoke, she sent the video in her phone to Samuel.
Samuel's eyes turned cold as he watched the video.
"The Millers—they won't give up anyway. I'll go meet Laurel after I return to the Seapolis City
tomorrow."
"Maybe I should go meet her. She got someone to hand me this note, so she must want me there. She
may not get what she wants from you, but she might be able to do so from me."
Nicole told Samuel her thoughts.
Samuel looked at her worriedly.
"You've not recovered yet. I'm a little worried about you meeting her."
"There's nothing to worry about. She's in a detention center, not outside. Besides, someone will be
watching her. I'll protect myself and won't let her hurt me. I just want to know what she's plotting."
"Plotting? She just wants to get out, so she can do whatever she wants again."
Samuel really hated Laurel.
There was a life between him and her—not just one life, but many. Even Samuel did not know how
many lives there were.
Nicole said in a low voice, "I haven't heard from Mom for a long time. I'm really worried about her.
When she left the Seapolis City and went there, none of us knew. Now, there is no news of her—not
even a letter, and this note has something to do with the Millers... I am even more worried. I know
you're worried about me. You're afraid that I'll be bullied by Laurel, but I have to do something for my
mother. Besides, Martha doesn't have much time left. In her last days, I hope that my mother and she
can meet each other. Only in this way can I be relieved."
"You are always thinking of others. You don't care about yourself at all. Have you ever thought of my
feelings? Do you know how worried I am when seeing you work so hard?"
Samuel sighed, but he did not stop Nicole. For him, as long as Nicole got to do the things she wanted,
that was enough. He would even manage to pick up the sun in the sky if she wanted it.
Nicole naturally knew that Samuel was worried about her, but she smiled and said, "There's really no
need to worry about me. I'll take Cara with me. You know what Cara is capable of. If there really is
anything wrong with me, she will help me immediately. Don't worry."
"Alright, but no matter what you do, you have to ensure your own safety. Clear?"
"I see."
Samuel and Nicole made a deal.
Cara went to the doctor to treat the wound. Seeing Laurence supporting Mrs. Miller, she stopped.
Mrs. Miller glanced at Cara and didn't say anything. Her eyes hurt from crying as she sat aside and
asked Laurence to bring her a glass of water.
Laurence was very respectful to Mrs. Miller, which hurt Cara a little.
How could such an indifferent man be so humble for a woman?
How much did he love that woman?
Laurence naturally saw Cara, but now he didn't want to talk to her at all. He didn't even look at her.
When the doctor saw Cara, he said in a low voice, "Cara, this is your medicine. Do remember to take it
three times a day. Don't forget it anymore."
"I see, Mr. Hunter. I'm aware of my own condition."
Cara smiled and took the medicine.
"What do you know? But it's true that you're so harsh to yourself. You—you really need someone to
watch you take the medicine. Otherwise, you won't take it at all. I've seen people who are afraid of
taking medicine, but I've never seen someone like you. If you don't listen to me, I'll tell Mrs. Green and
ask her to watch you take the medicine. Once the wound becomes inflamed, there'll be serious
consequences."
"Mr. Hunter, please don't bother. There's no need to trouble Mrs. Green with such a small matter."
Cara felt a little embarrassed and wanted to turn around and leave, but the doctor stopped her.
"No, I insist. I know you too well. Give me the medicine. I'll give it to Mrs. Green. How stupid of me to
give it to you."
As he spoke, the doctor went to snatch the medicine from Cara.
How could Cara allow Mr. Hunter to take away the medicine? She quickly dodged.
Just as the two of them were in a stalemate, Laurence spoke.
"Leave this to me. I will remind her to take the medicine. Don't bother Mrs. Green with such a small
matter."
As he spoke, Laurence directly took the medicine away from Cara's hand.
Cara and Mr. Hunter were both surprised, let alone Mrs. Miller.
"Laurence, what do you mean? My daughter died not long ago. You've found a new girlfriend so soon?"
Mrs. Miller's voice was harsh to the ears.
Laurence hurriedly replied, "No. Cara is Mrs. Green's personal nurse. Mrs. Green is in a special
condition and needs someone to take care of her. If Cara gets sick, there will be no one looking after
Mrs. Green. Naturally, I have to think for Mrs. Green, and I don't want to trouble her with such a small
matter. I'll be the one to remind Cara of taking the medicine. Mom, don't think too much about it."
Ever since Mrs. Miller admitted the relationship between Laurence and Adela, Laurence had addressed
her as "Mom".
Cara was secretly delighted just now, but when hearing Laurence's words, she couldn't help but feel a
little disappointed and uncomfortable.
Mrs. Miller was a little unhappy, but what Laurence said was reasonable. She said angrily, "Whatever.
But you should know that my daughter was just buried. If you are thinking about other women at this
time, I..."
"Mom, I only love Adela. I'll love her all my life. There won't be other women."
Cara felt even more hurt.
Mrs. Miller looked at Cara and said coldly, "You better be. Those women who have laid their eyes on
you—they have to stop now. You promised Adela that you would take care of me and my husband."
"Yes, Mom. Let me help you in."
Laurence put the medicine into his pocket, and then helped Mrs. Miller walk away without looking at
Cara.
Mr. Hunter asked confusedly, "Cara, what's going on?"
"I don't know what the heck is going on. Is he sick?"
Cara was so depressed that she directly returned to the ward. She did not believe that Laurence would
remind her to take the medicine. He had probably thrown it away.
Laurence was very narrow-minded.
'That's good. Anyway, I don't like to take medicine. It saves me trouble,' Cara thought.
When Cara returned, Nicole was packing up her things. Cara hurriedly ran over.
"Mrs. Green, let me. Why are you doing this yourself?"
"It's nothing. Don't run. Your leg is injured. When we get back to the Seapolis City, you should rest for
half a day. Don't tire yourself."
Cara felt warm upon these words.
"It's alright, Mrs. Green. I'm not that brittle. This injury is nothing. By the way, do we have to pack up all
these things? Are we going to the Seapolis City?"
"Yes, back to the Seapolis City."
Nicole smiled faintly, and Cara didn't ask anymore.
After packing up, Laurence sent someone to inform Nicole that the private plane was ready. Cara was
asked to push Nicole onto the rooftop.
This was Cara's first time flying in a private plane, so she couldn't help but feel a little excited.
Seeing Cara like this, Nicole immediately felt much better.
When the two of them arrived at the elevator and were about to go to the rooftop, the elevator was
suddenly pressed down. Nicole changed her expression.
