"Nicole, come on, get up. If you have anything to say, get up and say it."
Audrey hurriedly held Nicole's arms, but Nicole said in a low voice, "Mom, I brought my aunt here."
"What aunt? When do you have an aunt?"
After saying this, Audrey suddenly became still.
She looked blankly at Nicole and didn't quite understand what she had said.
"You brought who?"
"My aunt, Martha, is right outside the door."
As soon as Nicole finished, Audrey let go of her hand and said coldly, "Leave!"
"Mom, listen to me."
"I said leave! Take her with you!"
Audrey's sudden anger caught Nicole off guard, but she didn't get angry.
"Mom, why do you hate my aunt so much?"
"I told you to make her go away. Do you need me to say it a third time? If you really respect me as your
mother, then make her go away right now. Don't ever come into my sight again for the rest of her life."
Audrey said resolutely.
Looking at Audrey, Nicole said in a low voice, "I tied her up. There might be her people everywhere
outside. If I take her away and leave here, I might not have any chance to see you again."
"What do you mean?"
Audrey frowned heavily.
Nicole said lowly, "I met her at my grandfather's door. She said that she missed you. She had been
wanting to reunite with her sister for so many years, and that was you."
"Bullshit!"
Audrey is a lady of principle and education. It stunned Nicole to hear this sudden curse.
"Mom, you...."
"She is no sister of mine. If I had a choice, I wish I wasn't born by the same mother as her."
"What happened exactly?"
Nicole was puzzled.
Audrey looked at her and sighed, "It's a long story. You should get up first. Take good care of yourself.
My days are numbered. I know how difficult it was for you to be finally pregnant. If you lost the child, I
wouldn't rest in peace even if I died now."
"Mom, don't say that."
Nicole felt sad at these words.
After she got up, Audrey asked, "You said that her people were around?"
"Perhaps, we found her people at the airport and at the entrance of the police station. We don't know
how many are here...."
"Bring her in."
Audrey's sudden consent surprised Nicole.
"What?"
"Bring her in."
Audrey repeated again, Nicole finally got it.
She hurriedly went out and asked Laurence to bring Martha here, then she helped Cara into the room.
Seeing the way Cara was walking, Morgan said in a low voice, "Her caudal vertebra is broken. She
needs to rest in bed for a few days."
"Thank you."
Nicole left Cara directly to Morgan's care.
Morgan said with a dark face, "I didn't say I wanted to treat him."
"Otherwise, I'll send for Joseph?"
Nicole teased, but Morgan replied, "Alright, let him come. I miss him. I haven't taught him my medical
skills in this life."
Nicole paused for a moment, then said embarrassedly, "Not now, it needs a few more days for Samuel
to take care of things here. I promise I'll bring him to see you."
"What things?"
"About my aunt."
This was all Nicole could say.
Seeing that Nicole couldn't spit it out, Morgan said coldly, "Alright, hurry up and get in. Leave her to
me."
"Thank you."
As soon as Nicole finished speaking, Cara struggled to say, "Mrs. Green, I have to wait on you."
"Just like you are now, you want to wait on her? Go ahead if you want to spend the rest of your life in a
wheelchair."
Morgan said in a pretty mean way, but Nicole knew that she had a kind heart.
Nicole looked at Cara and said in a low voice, "Cooperate with the treatment. I don't need anyone to
wait on me here, you got it? Your job is to rest well and recover soon, we'll take care of the baby
together when it's born."
Hearing this, Cara could only nod.
Nicole and Laurence brought Martha into Audrey's house.
Audrey looked at Martha who was tied up in a coma, complicated feelings surged up in her eyes.
They hadn't seen each other for so many years. Martha was aged, but not really old. Her skin was still
smooth and fair, free from the roughness of life.
"Tell me, how was she all these years?"
Nicole was slightly stunned by this question.
Just now, Audrey was determined to wipe Martha out from her life. Suddenly, she cared about Martha
now?
Nicole hurriedly told Audrey everything she knew, including Tim.
Hearing everything, Audrey snorted coldly, "She is still good at playing tricks just as when she was a
child. So many years, the people outside worked for her while she hid in the sanatorium as the
controller in the backstage with the public's sympathy for her failed love. She had no heart at all. She
would never hurt herself like that for a man. I think the fire back then probably had something to do with
her."
Nicole was totally stunned.
"A fire? What fire? Mom, you mean the fire that that happened to Tim was designed by Martha? How is
that possible? That's her own son!"
Nicole couldn't believe it.
But Audrey sneered, "Her own son? She will use her own father, let alone her son. Don't you think so?
My dear sister! You've been looking for me for so many years and you've always wanted to control me.
Now that I'm in front of you, why are you still pretending to be unconscious?"
Nicole was stunned again.
"Mom, what are you talking about? She...."
"After for many years, you are still so smart, my sister."
Martha suddenly sat up straight, having nothing to do with unconsciousness.
Nicole continued to be stunned.
"You? How could you...."
Audrey sneered, "Silly girl, do you really think that your aunt is a fragile woman?"
"Isn't that so?"
Martha looked at Nicole and smiled, "If I didn't pretend to be unconscious, how would I know where my
sister lives? Right, sister?"
"Don't call me sister. It makes me sick."
Audrey abominated Martha.
Nicole was really upset.
She thought that she was the smart one this time, but didn't expect that she was used by Martha again.
This woman was simply too terrifying!
"The fire that happened to Tim, was it you?"
Nicole did not believe it, but she could only ask this woman who had nothing to do with the one she
knew.
Martha narrowed her eyes and said in a low voice, "I had no choice. If I hadn't done that, I would have
got no reason to retreat from the public."
"You're no human! You're a devil! No! You're even worse than a devil! People say that the fiercest tigers
won't hurt its own cub, and you're much more horrible than a beast. Did it ever occur to you that if I
hadn't got there in time, Tim could have died. He loved you, he was so good to you. How could you do
that?"
Nicole wished she could slap her really hard, but she couldn't.
Because no matter what, Martha was an elder. And Audrey was here, it was not her turn to do
something like this.
Hearing Nicole's words, Audrey sneered coldly, "She had no heart at all. Why would she care about her
son's life? Nothing was more important to her than her father. She killed her own mother with her own
hands to get to see her father whom she met only a few times. What else couldn't she do?"
"What?"
Nicole was stunned again.
Martha, who seemed to be stung by something, shouted sharply.
"You shut up! What right do you have to accuse me? Did you even do anything when your damn father
kicked us out? Did you even give us any help when things were the hardest for us? I went to your
school, I told you that I would drop out, I begged for your help, but you didn't even bother to see me.
You watched me get frozen stiff and carried away outside your school, and you wouldn't see me. How
can you say that I'm ruthless?"
Seeing Martha settled the old scores, Audrey said coldly, "Do you know why I didn't help you? Do you
know why I didn't stop father from kicking you out? Because of mother. Mother told me who your real
father was. She told me that she had already wronged my father, disgraced the Shaw family. She
forbade me from seeing you, and threatened me with her life that if I stopped you from leaving, if I
looked for you, she would kill herself in front of me!"
Audrey's eyes were wet with tears.
Nicole was dumbfounded.
Why would grandma do that?
Martha shook her head crazily, "I don't believe it! Nonsense! This is your excuse! You made it up, you
lied! How could she do this to me? How could she do this to me? I am also her daughter! I was also in
her belly for ten months! Why did she do this to me?"
Seeing Martha so excited, Audrey said coldly, "You didn't know what love was. Mother raised you. She
knew who you are, she didn't give up on you. She just took you away from the Shaw family. She did her
best to take care of you, but what did you do? You knew who you were before you left the Shaw family,
didn't you? You knew you weren't a child of the Shaw family, right? What did you do? You thought
nobody knew? You stole a bullet from my father's gun. Did you know that it could kill my father? You
knew it, and you did it on purpose. The next day, when you saw that my father was fine, you were quite
disappointed and puzzled. Now, let me tell you, I was right behind you when you did it that night. I
never imagined that my sister, who grew up in the Shaw's, who were only twelve or thirteen years old,
was so vicious and despicable, so good at murdering people secretly. Since then, I've told myself that I
had no sister, had nothing to do with you!"
This old story stunned Martha. She never knew that it was Audrey who saved Edwin
secretly.
Why would grandma do that?
Martha shook her head crazily, "| don't believe it! Nonsense! This is your excuse! You made it up, you
lied! How could she do this to me? How could she do this to me? | am also her daughter! | was also in
