"Mrs. Green, are you okay?"
Cara couldn’t help but ask Nicole when seeing her seem to have immersed herself in thoughts as she
looked at her notebook.
"I’m fine. I mean the notebook looks pretty."
Nicole replied to Cara quickly with a faint smile.
Cara sensed nothing from Nicole's expressions. She said with a childish smile, "If you like the
notebook, I will ask Doctor Morgan to give you one. She has several of them."
"Really? That’ll be great."
Nicole nodded pleasantly.
"Have a good rest, and I'll go check on Joseph."
"What happened to Mr. Joseph?"
Cara had known every member of the Green family, and it was Laurence who asked Ernesto to
introduce them to her. Laurence didn’t do it himself, because he had been avoiding her ever since he
failed to tell her about his feelings.
Cara felt a little uncomfortable when thinking of Laurence, but she calmed herself soon.
Smiling at her, Nicole said, "It wasn’t a big deal. He wiped out and Zoe is keeping him company."
"Well, fine. Ms. Green, you must be tired during the period. You should find someone to replace me."
"No need. Petty is back. Having Petty by my side is enough. And you yourself should have a good rest.
I’m looking forward to seeing you come back healthy."
Nicole left after saying that.
Looking at Nicole’s back view, Cara suddenly realized that Nicole wouldn’t keep anyone by her side
easily, though she looked kind.
Nicole was familiar with Laurence, Ernesto, Petty and Zac. Cara was the only one who came from the
Miller family. Nicole had made an exception to keep Cara by her side.
It was a great honor for her, so she wouldn’t let her down. Then she made up her mind to learn to be a
good dietician so that she could take good care of Nicole.
Of course, Nicole didn't know these things.
Walking out of Cara's ward, Nicole intended to visit Morgan, but she saw Petty walking over.
"What's wrong?"
"Mrs. Green, Mr. Green is in trouble."
Nicole's heart suddenly missed a beat.
"What happened?"
"He was taken away by the police, so was the body of Gerry. There’re plenty of wounds on the body of
Gerry, so the police thought he was imprisoned and lynched by Mr. Green. Someone has already filed
a lawsuit against him."
As Petty was telling it to Nicole quickly,
Nicole frowned tightly.
"Is Elvis the one who filed the lawsuit?"
"Exactly."
"Where's Mr. Blair? He's supposed to be with Samuel, isn't he? He should bail him out."
Casting a glance at Nicole,
Petty whispered, "Those policemen were from the criminal police team. Mr. Blair did use his
connections, but it didn’t work. They took Mr. Green away because the evidence they got was quite
reliable. Mr. Green left you a message, telling you not to worry about him but take good care of the
baby in your belly. But it is said that Mr. Green may not be released this time."
Hearing Petty's words, Nicole narrowed her eyes slightly.
How could Samuel tell her not to care about anything but take good care of the baby in her belly at this
moment? Even if she could do as he asked, how would Elvis allow her?
She had always felt that the appearance of Elvis was weird. Now she seemed to know something. Did
he intend to put Samuel in jail? Or was he scheming anything else?
Nicole couldn’t figure everything out, but she knew she couldn’t just wait around for that to happen.
"Where is Mr. Blair?"
Nicole knew that only Blair could save Samuel now.
Petty replied immediately, "Mr. Blair is waiting for you in the the Green's."
"I’m going back. Let Zac take good care of the children. Send more people here to protect them. I'm
afraid Elvis would hurt them."
Nicole was ordering.
"Okay."
Petty went to make the arrangements at once.
Nicole called Laurence.
"Where are you?"
"Outside the police station. I followed Mr. Green there, but they didn’t allow us to go inside. "
Laurence was saying quickly in a poor tone.
Samuel was considered as a big shot in Seapolis City. Normally, the police wouldn’t treat him in a
harsh way, but now, they even didn’t let any of his men in. It did startle Nicole.
Her brows were tightly knitted together.
Nicole called Edwin.
"Grandfather, Samuel was arrested. I don’t know the details of the whole story, but could you figure out
a way to let me meet him? The policemen here didn’t allow me to see him.”
Edwin was a little surprised at what Nicole said.
"Samuel was arrested? Who did that?"
"People from the criminal police team."
"Why?"
"Samuel imprisoned someone and that guy died."
Edwin was rendered silent for a few seconds, and then he said, "Where is the body?"
"It was also taken away by the police."
"That’ll be a hassle. I'll deal with it first. Don’t do anything else until I ask. Call Jason, who has
connections with someone of the criminal police team. See whether he could figure out a way to help
Samuel out."
Nicole finally felt a bit relieved after hearing the words of Edwin.
"Okay. I’ll call him now."
When Nicole hung up the phone, Petty had already got everything done.
"Mrs. Green, we can go back now."
"Drive the car here."
Nicole waved her hand and walked out quickly.
When Petty was heading for the parking, Nicole called Jason.
"Uncle Jason, Samuel was arrested by the criminal police team. Could you figure out a way to let me
meet him?"
Jason frowned tightly.
"Samuel was arrested? When? I didn’t I hear any of it.”
"Not long ago. And I just knew it."
Nicole was being so worried and anxious.
Jason comforted her, "Don't worry. I'll use my connections. Go wait for my message at home. I’ll call
you."
"Alright."
Nicole hung up the phone.
The help of both the Dons and the Shaws kind of relieved her. However, the case seemed to be a
hassle this time.
When Nicole was waiting at the entrance of the hospital for Petty to pick her up, a woman who was
carrying a newborn in her arms was rushing towards her.
The woman wasn’t far away from Nicole, but she felt the woman was a bit weird as if she was heading
straight for her.
Nicole got a shock, so she quickly ran into the supermarket near her.
"Madam, what can I do for you?"
A clerk came to serve Nicole when seeing her running into their supermarket.
Nicole found the woman was clearly startled by her action and then left with regret.
What happened just now did scare Nicole.
If she hadn’t been that alert, she would have been trapped by that woman. Besides, if the baby that
woman was carrying had been dead, she herself would have got involved in trouble. Maybe she would
also be put in jail before Samuel could be released.
Thinking of the possibility, Nicole could sense cold sweat trickling down her back.
These dirty tricks were hard to defend.
Elvis was really something.
A trace of coldness flashed in Nicole's eyes.
Petty didn't see Nicole when she drove over. As she was about to call Nicole, she saw her waving at
her in the supermarket.
"Mrs. Green, why are you here?"
Petty asked Nicole in doubt.
Nicole didn't say anything. She bought a bottle of water and got in the car.
When Petty drove by the exit of the hospital, Nicole suddenly asked her to stop.
"You drive back first, and I’m going somewhere else."
“Where are you going, Mrs. Green? Shall I drive you there?”
Petty felt that Nicole was acting weird.
"Nope. I'll be back soon. You go back first."
Nicole asked Petty to leave first with no explanation, and then she called herself a cab.
"Go to the Green's."
Nicole felt kind of relaxed in the cab.
She had an intuition just now that it wouldn’t be safe for her to go back in Petty’s car. There were loads
of cabs everywhere, and they wouldn’t be able to buy off all the cabs in Seapolis City. Right?
Nicole arrived at the Green's. She could not help but frown slightly when she didn’t see Petty’s car
there.
"Petty, where are you?"
Nicole called Petty.
Where Petty was seemed to be a little noisy.
"Mrs. Green, I was being followed, and they were trying to kill me. But you don't have to worry about
me. I’ve dumped them, and I’ll be back soon."
"Be careful. I'll have Ernesto pick you up."
Nicole asked Ernesto to pick up Petty as soon as she hung up.
Sure enough, they really meant to kill her.
Nicole entered the house with a gloomy face.
When Blair saw Nicole enter, he asked in a nervous tone, "Is everything going well?"
"I almost died. They did wanna ruin both Samuel and me."
Nicole poured herself a glass of water and gulped it down.
Blair gave a paternity test report to Nicole.
"Samuel asked me to do this. I’m sorry to tell you that Gerry and Samuel are blood brothers."
"What?"
Nicole didn't swallow her last sip of water and she almost choked to death.
She took the paternity test report and read it carefully over and over. The report said the similarity was
99.9%, which meant they were really blood brothers.
"Weren’t the blood samples been mistaken?"
"No one else, except me, has ever touched the blood samples since you gave them to me. If anything
went wrong, it would only be your fault."
Hearing Blair's words, Nicole thought of Laurence, who delivered the blood samples. But he would
never betray them, so did it mean the result was true?
Her expression was gloomy and frightening.
"If this Gerry is the blood brother of Samuel, then who will be the one Jamar mentioned?"
"You don't need to think about that for the time being. What I mean is that this Gerry was born with a
heart disease or a congenital defect. I guess that Elvis knew it long before, so he sent him to Samuel
on purpose. I got a blood sample of him and did a test. He was injected by someone, which caused him
a cardiac sudden death.
What Blair said stunned Nicole.
"How could that happen? That man died in the basement of the Greens. Not everyone could get in
there easily.”
"But how could you explain it? That man died of a heart attack, which was triggered by a drug. Not to
mention whether this man was drugged by one of you or how he got in there, this evidence alone was
enough to put Samuel in jail. It's a murder."
Blair's words did shock Nicole.
A murder?
How could that be?
