Ernesto went to investigate. Samuel stayed outside of the operating room. The unbearable pain almost
suffocated him.
Ashley was ready to try her best to save Nicole, but Nicole was using her hands to protect her belly.
Ashley couldn't manage to move her hands away.
It was a mother's obsession.
Perhaps the moment she was knocked flying, Nicole knew that her baby would die. But she still used
all her strength to protect her baby.
At this moment, Ashley's eyes suddenly became moist.
"Nicole, let go of your hands. This is the only way to save you and let your baby rest in peace."
Ashley's voice was not loud. She whispered such words in Nicole's ear. She knew that Nicole could
hear her.
Sure enough, a line of tears rolled down from the corner of Nicole's eyes, and the strength of her hands
loosened a lot.
Ashley also felt terrible.
She had undergone countless surgeries, but to be honest, she had never received such an operation. If
the patient wasn't Nicole, she probably wouldn't do such an operation.
It was simply too sad.
Nicole was still unconscious. And Ashley's operation had begun.
The operation took more than an hour.
When Nicole was pushed out of the operating room, Samuel was unable to stand firmly.
"How did the operation go?"
"She's fine, but the baby is gone."
Ashley's voice was not loud, but it was like a bolt out of the blue for Samuel. Even if he had thought of
this possibility, he still couldn't bear the loss.
"Don't tell her. I'm afraid she won't be able to handle it."
Samuel said this in a hoarse voice.
Ashley looked at him and asked in a low voice, "What kind of misunderstanding is between you? Can't
you just tell Nicole?"
"No!"
"Why?"
"I can't tell you."
Hearing Samuel's words, Ashley wanted to beat him.
"Then you plan to let her keep misunderstanding you like this? Samuel, do you know that the
misunderstanding between you will get bigger and after she loses her baby? And you will never be able
to make up for it. You may even miss her for the rest of your life. Even so, you still plan to not tell her?"
Samuel's hands were tightly clenched together.
He looked at Nicole. She was unconscious. She was biting her lips. And because of that, her lips were
broken. Some fresh blood oozed out of the corner of her mouth.
Samuel could tell that Nicole was in great pain. But he didn't change his attitude. He asked, "How much
damage did she suffer?"
"Her pregnancy was not long, so she didn't suffer much. She'll soon recover. Besides, the operation
was painless. Bleeding was also small. But I don't know how long she will take to recover from the
psychological trauma and return to normal status."
Seeing that Samuel had no intention to continue talking, Ashley could only sigh and say, "Don't
stimulate her. She's fragile now. Just a moment before the operation, she was still protecting her belly
with her hands. We can't even move her hands away. Men will never understand what it means to be a
mother. You men may only need ten minutes to create a baby. But a woman needs ten months of
pregnancy to give birth to that baby and a lifetime to care for the baby. Now that she's like this, you'd
better not stimulate her again. "
After saying that, Ashley had someone send Nicole to the intensive care unit.
Samuel's eyes darkened.
He followed in and took care of Nicole.
When Nicole woke up again, she didn't know where she was until she saw the drips and white ceiling
above her head. Scenes of that accident appeared in her mind.
She subconsciously touched her belly. Sadly, she realized that she could no longer feel the movement
of the fetus.
She failed to protect her baby.
Perhaps this was the will of heaven.
After finding that Samuel had cheated on her, she did not know how to deal with this baby. Then a car
accident took away the baby that she had yet to meet.
Even though she was trying to comfort herself, Nicole's heart was still in pain.
She wanted to cry, but she felt that her tears had dried up.
She could only stare blankly at the ceiling, thinking. She simply ignored Samuel.
Seeing her like this, Samuel felt worse.
"If you are unhappy about anything, just beat me and scold me. Please don't be a sulker. "
Nicole looked at the ceiling as if she hadn't heard anything.
The snow-white color represented holiness. Would her baby go to heaven?
She was not a good mother.
Five years ago, she successfully protected her child. But five years later, she was so useless.
Nicole lay silently.
A nurse came and changed her iv drip.
Ashley came and gave her some examinations. When Ashley talked to her, she only nodded slightly,
looking very tired.
Soon others went away. Only Samuel and Nicole were in the room. Nicole closed her eyes and soon
fell asleep.
She didn't cry, make a scene, or even say a word to him. Nicole being like this distressed Samuel. He
was worried. But there was nothing he could do about it.
He had no choice but to ask Ernesto to bring Zoe over.
When Nicole saw Zoe, her eyes sparkled. Her face was less pale. But she was still weak.
"Mommy, are you sick?"
"Come and let Mommy hug you!"
Nicole stretched out her arm towards her daughter.
Zoe obediently climbed onto the bed, stretched out her small arms and hugged Nicole. She patted
Nicole's back gently and whispered, "Mommy, don't be afraid. Zoe is here with you. I know it feels bad
to take injections and medicine. But I know mommy is tough. You can get over this. Let Zoe blows for
you. Then you'll feel less pain."
As she spoke, Zoe used her small mouth to blow on the back of Nicole's hand, which made Nicole's
eyes turn red.
"Mommy doesn't feel hurt anymore. It doesn't hurt at all."
Nicole hugged Zoe tightly and cried out.
Seeing Nicole finally cried out, Samuel heaved a sigh of relief. He hurriedly handed his handkerchief to
Nicole, but Nicole pretended not to see it. She took out a piece of paper and wiped her tears. She
touched Zoe's head and said, "The hospital is not a good place. You and Uncle Ernesto go back first.
Mommy needs to be here for a few days. I'll soon be back. When mommy recovers, I will go back to
you immediately. Is this okay? When Mommy is not around, be a good girl, okay? "
"I see. Mommy, take good care of yourself."
"Alright."
"Pinky swear."
Zoe extended her pinky towards Nicole.
After Nicole made a pinky promise with Zoe, Zoe was taken away.
Samuel was afraid of being alone with Nicole.
He wanted Nicole to scold him or beat him. He didn't want her to ice him.
Nicole behaved like he didn't exist.
Samuel poured a glass of warm water for Nicole. But Nicole did not take it over. She directly closed her
eyes.
When Olivia heard about the accident, Nicole had already fallen asleep.
"How could something like this happen? It's my fault. I shouldn't have let her be alone."
Seeing Olivia blamed herself, Samuel whispered, "It has nothing to do with you."
"How's Nicole?"
"Other than not talking to me and preferring to sleep, everything else is fine."
Samuel felt somewhat wronged.
Olivia looked at him and whispered, "I'll talk to her later."
"No need."
Samuel was also very stubborn.
Even if Nicole ignored him, he still took care of her.
Nicole did not argue with him, nor did she chase him away. She allowed him to take care of her, but
she did not speak a word to him. She slept when tired and ate when hungry. But her health recovered
very quickly.
After a week or so, Nicole was much better.
She asked to be discharged.
Samuel asked Ashley. When he learned that Nicole could leave the hospital and go home, he quickly
arranged for a car and a helicopter to bring Nicole back to the Seapolis City.
However, Nicole gave Samuel a divorce agreement.
"Let's divorce."
Nicole said calmly, without much emotional fluctuation. It was as if all her emotions had gone.
Samuel's hand trembled slightly as he looked at the dazzling words "divorce agreement". He did not
take it for a long time.
"I don't agree."
"I'm not discussing with you. I'm just notifying you. I'm not going back to the Seapolis City with you. I'll
stay here for now. For the time being, I don't want to tell children about this, nor do I want to compete
with you for custody. I believe that you will be good to the children. And I'm busy with my own business
recently, so I probably don't have time to take care of them. I'll let you take care of them for now. When
my job is settled, I'll bring them over my place."
Nicole did not care about Samuel's refusal. She said this to Samuel.
Samuel felt his heart was bleeding.
"I won't let you fight alone in City B. If you don't want to see me, I'll go. If you want to develop your
career, I'll give you the entire Green family."
"I do not need your things, nor do I need your pity. Samuel, I didn't want anything when I was with you,
and the same was true when I left. You know, I married you because of love. For three years, you didn't
love me. But I didn't give up. I persisted because I believed that I would move you eventually. Now we
will separate from each other because the mutual feeling is gone. A marriage with love is sweet. But a
marriage without love is just a cage. Why should we trap ourselves in a cage? If you want to marry
someone else in the future, I will bless you as long as she is good to the children."
"There is no one else. I won't marry others. Nicole, I won't agree to divorce in this lifetime!"
Samuel was a little anxious.
However, Nicole still said indifferently, "Whatever. I will file for divorce six months later. I don't want
anything of yours. I'm really tired. My baby is gone. I'm very sad. I feel all my strength was taken away.
I don't want to argue with you. I just want a divorce. If you really love me, do what I said."
After saying that, Nicole called Olivia and asked Olivia to pick her up.
When Olivia arrived, she saw Samuel looking unpleasant, which made her feel pressured. At a
moment, she didn't know what to do.
"Nicole, I think you should..."
"Even you don't want me anymore?"
Nicole looked at Olivia with her watery eyes. It hurt Olivia to see Nicole being like this. She was unable
to say a word to help Samuel.
"I'll take you away."
Olivia supported Nicole to walk out. They walked past Samuel.
Suddenly, Samuel held Nicole's hand tightly. He got such a feeling that if he let go of her hand now, she
would never be back.
