"Petty!"
Nicole's heart skipped a beat. She wanted to run inside but was stopped by Samuel.
"Stay out here. I'm going in to take a look."
With that, Samuel left Nicole to Ernesto and ran inside.
Nicole looked at his back with concerns.
"Ernesto, follow him. It was so loud. I wonder what happened to them inside. Lillian and Petty are both
women and pregnant. And Zac is nowhere to see. Samuel can't handle it by himself."
Ernesto paused at her words.
"But Mr. Green asked me to take care of you."
"I'm fine. How can I be in danger out here? I'll call the police. Hurry up."
Nicole pushed Ernesto and picked up her phone to make a call.
Seeing that Nicole insisted, Ernesto ran into the house to help.
Nicole finished her phone call. Before she could turn around, she saw a figure running towards her.
Because of the smoke, she found the person somewhat familiar, but she could not clearly see the face.
"Who are you?"
The figure sprinkled a handful of powder towards Nicole.
Attacked by a sweet smell, Nicole found her eyes darken and she fainted.
By the time she woke up again, she was in the hospital.
"Nicole? Are you alright?"
Samuel looked at her anxiously, haggard.
Nicole shook her head and asked, "What's wrong?"
"You fainted on the roadside. Fortunately, I came out in time. What happened? The doctor says that
you have low blood sugar. Did you not eat well? You are weak now, and you eat for two people. Don't
skip meals because you want to stay in shape. Did you hear me?"
Samuel wasn't accusing her. He was sorry for her.
Nicole couldn't think straight, and her brain even hurt.
"Wait, you said I fainted on the roadside?"
"Yes."
"I was drugged."
Nicole touched her forehead and said. Samuel's face darkened.
"What are you talking about?"
"I remember very well that I saw a figure running out of the house. I couldn't see his or her face clearly,
but somehow this person looked so familiar. I demanded the person's identity, only to be sprinkled with
a handful of powder. It smelled very sweet, and then I blacked out."
Nicole tried her best to explain in detail, but the headache still didn't get better.
Samuel called Ernesto immediately.
"Check the surveillance video and see who Mrs. Green met before she fainted."
Soon, Ernesto reported that the footage had been cut off.
Samuel's expression became darker.
Who was it?
Who was that bold?
How dared they attack Nicole right in front of him?
"The doctor will examine you again. I thought you fainted from low blood sugar, but I was wrong. Then
we need to check out any hidden dangers."
Hearing Samuel, Nicole nodded and endured the discomfort to have a full body check-up.
While waiting for the result, she asked Samuel, "How are Petty and Lillian? Are they hurt?"
"No."
"Why did it suddenly explode?"
Samuel sighed at Nicole's question. "Lillian didn't know how to use the microwave. She misplaced
something in it and caused an explosion. Fortunately, she was not in the kitchen at that time, and Petty
was also walking in the garden. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable. I couldn't blame
her. Let's move to the seaside villa for the next few days. The mention needs to be renovated."
Nicole was surprised by his words. She never expected that would be the case.
"It's good that nobody was hurt. I thought it was an attack by someone who doesn’t like us."
Nicole gave a mocking smile.
But Samuel seemed to be lost in thought.
"Maybe it makes sense."
"What?"
Nicole guessed that Samuel was a little overly concerned.
But Samuel said in a low voice, "The microwave oven is powerful, but it can't blow up the kitchen and
living room, can it? And when we came back, we did see a figure dashing away. Who was that person?
Why did that person come out of our house? I asked Lillian and Petty. They said no one came to our
house today. Since that's the case, who did we see?"
Surprised for a short while, Nicole asked, "Do you suspect that someone planted the illusion of the
microwave explosion?"
"Yes!"
"Why? For what?"
Samuel thought for a while before saying, "Perhaps to blow me up, or Lillian."
"Lillian?"
Nicole's heart skipped a beat.
Everyone in the Green's knew that Nicole rarely cooked. Samuel liked to prepare breakfast for Nicole
every morning, and Lillian spent the rest of the time in the kitchen.
In this way, the attacker was either aiming at Samuel or Lillian.
If the target was Samuel, there would be too many suspects. After all, Samuel was the richest man in
the Seapolis City. The suspect could be his competitors or someone connected to Elvis. But if the
figure came for Lillian, Nicole couldn't think of anyone else except Elvis.
Suddenly someone came to her mind, but Nicole quickly shook her head.
That person shouldn't have the guts to do so, right?
Seeing that Nicole was deep in thought, Samuel couldn't help but ask, "Are you scared? Or are you
thinking about something?"
"No. I was wondering who would dare to do this."
"A fugitive. Perhaps it was Elvis' men. They may have done it to avenge him. Leave this to the police.
Don't worry. Have a good rest. We'll talk about it when the result comes out."
Seeing the worried look on Samuel's face, Nicole swallowed her words.
"Alright."
The waiting was a little tormenting for them. Samuel had someone deliver food to Nicole. Since she
was sort of hungry, Nicole took a few bites before the result came out.
"Mr. Green, Mrs. Green, here is the result. Mrs. Green only inhaled a small amount of Rohypnol, which
does little harm to her body."
Hearing the doctor, Samuel looked gloomy.
Luckily, the person only sprinkled a little Rohypnol on Nicole. What if it had been poison? What would
he do?
Nicole held Samuel's hand tightly and said, "Relax. Don't worry. I'm fine. God bless me."
"Don't you go out alone again."
A little disheartened by Samuel's words, Nicole pursed her lips. But at the thought that Samuel was
doing it for her, she did not argue.
Nicole returned to the ward and rested for a while before Petty and Lillian showed up.
"Nicole, are you alright?"
Seeing Nicole's pale face, Petty hurried to ask.
"I'm fine. Just low blood sugar. I fainted."
Nicole decided not to say anything about her being drugged. Petty was in the early stage of pregnancy,
and Lillian was even more cautious. It was better not to let them worry.
"How can you have low blood sugar? Did you eat very little? Nicole, you can't do that. Look at me, I eat
well and I sleep well "
Petty grabbed Nicole's hand and found it a little cold.
"Nicole, are you cold?"
"No. My hands are always cold. I'm okay."
Nicole smiled faintly.
Seeing them, Samuel offered in a low voice, "You should move to my seaside villa these days. The
mansion needs renovation. There's no need to bring clothes or anything else. I'll have someone buy
some for you later."
"No need, Samuel. I have my clothes."
Petty wasn't used to Samuel's concern.
Nicole looked at them and said with a smile, "Just keep your brother busy for a while. Otherwise, he will
feel guilty about the explosion."
"How so? It was my fault. I didn't know that thing shouldn't be microwaved. It was all my fault."
Lillian blamed herself.
She was grateful that neither Petty nor Nicole was home. If they had been hurt, even Lillian's death
could not have redeemed her fault.
Seeing that Lillian was so guilty, Nicole said immediately, "Lillian, you didn't do it on purpose. It's even
better. I have long been dissatisfied with the decoration of the mansion, but I couldn’t find a proper
excuse to renovate it. It's good now. I finally got my wish."
How could Lillian not know that Nicole was comforting her?
She looked at Nicole gratefully, unable to utter a single word.
Noting the tiredness in Nicole's eyes, Samuel interposed, "Alright, Petty, bring Lillian over. You should
still have your things at the villa. You can live in it after a little cleaning up. Nicole is tired. Let her have
some rest. We will stay in the hospital tonight. If Nicole feels better tomorrow, we'll go home."
"Alright, we're leaving. Nicole, take good care of yourself. Tell me what you want to eat and I'll cook for
you."
Nicole nod with a smile at Petty's words.
"All I want now is to sleep."
She had a bad headache.
Seeing her condition, Lillian and Petty left rapidly.
After sending them away, Samuel went back and found that Nicole was asleep.
Worried, he went to the doctor to ask about Nicole's state. The doctor regarded it as a normal reaction
after being drugged. Coupled with the fact that Nicole was pregnant, she was sure to be tired.
Samuel stayed awake all night with Nicole.
But Nicole had a good sleep.
When she opened her eyes and saw Samuel's bloodshot eyes and stubble, she was touched.
"You haven't slept all night?"
"I'm good. I was relieved to see you sleeping soundly. How do you feel? Do you still have a headache?"
"Much better. You should go and rest for a while."
Nicole urged Samuel to have a rest. But Samuel said he could wait. Only after the doctor ran a check
for Nicole and assured him that she was fine did Samuel breathe a sigh of relief.
The two went home. Under Nicole's plea, Samuel finally went back to the bedroom to sleep.
He asked Nicole to stay with him and fell asleep soon.
Nicole watched the exhausted man and gently covered him with a quilt. Then she heard a knock on the
door from outside.
"Mrs. Green, I have something urgent to discuss with you."
"Wait a moment."
Nicole looked at Samuel. Seeing that he was sleeping deeply, she got up and walked out gently.
"What is it?"
Nicole asked in a hushed voice.
Ernesto looked at her and hesitated.
