Nicole didn't consider too much. She just thought of seizing this chance to protect Petty, taking
advantage of Lillian's unpreparedness. As for Zac, Nicole had never suspected him before.
Was Zac in the same league with Lillian?
Nicole deemed it was unlikely, but it could not be completely ruled out.
She thought for a while and called Zac.
"Where are you?"
"Tasty Supermarket. Nicole, what's wrong?"
When Zac received Nicole's phone call, he was a little astonished. The first thing came to his mind was
Petty's safety.
Nicole said calmly, "I want to see you. Wait for me there and I'll pick you up."
"Alright."
After hanging up, Nicole asked Alison to drive to Tasty Supermarket.
While driving the car, Alison could not help but say, "You are as busy as a bee all day long. If I didn't
know you, I couldn't believe that you're Mrs. Green. So many women envy you. But in my opinion,
being Mrs. Green is not easy."
Nicole smiled faintly and did not refute.
Indeed.
Being Mrs. Green was not an easy task.
If Nicole didn't love Samuel, she would have given up long ago. To Nicole, love was the most important
thing.
For the sake of love, she could endure everything.
Nicole did not speak and tried to avoid this topic. Alison noticed that and stopped talking.
The car stopped at Tasty Supermarket. Zac was waiting for Nicole at the entrance of the supermarket,
carrying a lot of things he had just bought.
"Get in the car!"
Nicole did not get out of the car. She opened the window and talked to Zac.
Zac was a little bit confused. But he got into the car soon.
Nicole glanced at what Zac bought. They were just some foods, not necessary for today. Obviously,
Lillian had purposely sent Zac away.
"Did Lillian ask you to buy these things today?"
Nicole asked.
"Yes, she said these were needed tonight. Nicole, what happened? Is there something wrong with
Petty?"
Zac was anxious.
Nicole waved her hand and didn't say anything else.
The car was driven smoothly.
Zac didn't know where Nicole was taking him, but he noticed that there was something wrong with
Nicole.
The car drove out of the downtown and headed for the suburb.
There was a change in Zac's expression, but he still kept silent.
Nicole stared at Zac from the interior mirror without saying a word.
After about twenty minutes of driving in the suburb, the car stopped in a mountainous area.
"Get out of the car and follow me."
Nicole got out of the car first.
Zac hesitated for a moment, but also got out of the car.
Alison locked the car and followed behind them.
The three of them walked for more than twenty minutes before arriving at the entrance of a sanatorium.
The sanatorium was built deep in the mountains, and it was really hard to find.
Many security guards were patrolling here, wearing guns.
Zac was a little panicked.
"Nicole, did I do something wrong that made you unhappy?"
"Let's talk inside."
Nicole did not answer him.
The three of them went into a room. Then Alison closed the door on her way out and stood guard
outside.
Nicole pointed at the chair opposite her and said to Zac, "Take a seat."
Zac sat down, a bit of nervous.
"Nicole, what exactly happened?"
"You have no idea?"
Nicole's eyes suddenly turned cold as she looked at Zac.
Zac shivered. He almost thought that he had seen Samuel. He hurriedly said, "I really don't know.
Nicole, if I have done something wrong, please tell me. I will correct it. I'm not a smart person, but I feel
lucky that you and Samuel haven't disliked me. I will definitely be good to Petty."
Nicole stared at Zac for about two minutes. From his eyes, Nicole did not tell anything.
If it were not for Zac's good pretending, then it meant that Zac really wasn't lying.
Nicole was relieved a bit.
"To be frank with you, I suspect Lillian of having a hand in framing Samuel. What do you think of her?"
Zac paused for a second, then he quickly responded.
"I cannot talk about Lillian. She is Petty's mother."
"Now there is no one else here. Spit it out."
What Nicole said made Zac ponder for a moment.
"Where is Petty?"
"Don't worry, she's not at the Green's anymore. I've already taken her with me. You can rest assured of
her safety."
Hearing this, Zac heaved a sigh of relief.
"Nicole, I have also noticed that something is wrong with Lillian. But I don't dare to say it before. There
may be a surveillance system at the Green's. I don't even dare to make a phone call for fear of being
heard. But Lillian is Petty's mother. Petty is pregnant now. I'm really not confident that I can protect
Petty, so..."
Zac sighed helplessly.
Nicole could understand him.
"Tell me now, what is wrong with Lillian?"
Facing Nicole's inquiry, Zac said somewhat gloomily, "I don't have any concrete evidence, but recently I
feel weak, thirsty, and sometimes I suddenly fall into a trance. Ever since Lillian came to the Green's,
she has taken over the cooking from Wendy and arranged Wendy to sweep the garden. At the
beginning, I really felt happy and enjoyed the delicious food she cooked. But the problem of my health
made me a little scared. I asked Petty if she had the same problem, but she said no. I didn't dare to say
more. I made an excuse to have a medical examination. Lillian went with me. The result showed that I
was fine, but I was still not at ease."
Zac was very upset.
Nicole frowned slightly.
"Alison, ask the doctor to take a blood test for Zac."
"OK."
Alison quickly brought the doctor over.
Zac was very cooperative.
After drawing blood, it would take time to wait for the result. Nicole looked at Zac and continued to ask,
"On the day Samuel was taken away by the police, did Lillian get in touch with someone? Or did she
call anyone?"
"No, ever since Lillian came to the Green's, she has taken care of the shopping and cooking. She won't
meet others in the house. She can just take advantage of the time when she is out shopping. We can't
follow her."
Hearing this answer, Nicole was sure that Lillian was a cautious and meticulous person.
Zac asked worriedly, "Nicole, what do you plan to do if Lillian has involved with Samuel's case?"
"What do you think I should do? Samuel has been framed for murder now. Do you know how many
years he will be sentenced for this crime? Once the president of the Eternal Group was imprisoned,
what would happen to the stock and the business of the Group? You should know that! If Samuel is
convicted, the Greens will all be affected. Do you think Petty can still live a comfortable life as a Ms.
Green?"
Nicole said in a harsh tone.
Zac felt a little bit ashamed and immediately lowered his head. "Nicole, that's not what I meant. I'm just
worried that Petty won't be able to bear it. You know, she had been longing for family love since her
childhood and she finally reunited with her mother. If anything happens to Lillian, Petty would certainly
break down, and she is pregnant now. I'm afraid..."
"So, I hope that you can stay here to take care of Petty until she gives birth to a baby. We can leave the
matter till then. You don't have to worry about anything outside, and don't let Petty know either."
This was the best way for Petty.
When Zac heard this, he asked excitedly, "Is Petty here?"
"Yes. This is where you two will live until the baby is one month old. I can guarantee your safety. No
one will find this place. Only if you are safe can I do what I want to do. The Green family has been a
mess for so long. It's time to settle it. Lillian has been brought back by me, so just leave her to me. You
are Petty's husband. If you help me, Petty will quarrel with you once she knows it afterwards."
Zac was stunned for a moment and said, "But if Petty knows that you are dealing with her mother, she
will also have a problem with you."
"It doesn't matter. It's better that the conflict is between Petty and I. You are a couple."
While they were talking, Alison came in with the doctor's report.
"Mrs. Green, this is the blood test result."
"What did the doctor say?"
"Some kind of drugs was found in Zac's blood."
Zac stood up all of a sudden when he heard that.
"What are you talking about?"
"I'd better ask the doctor to talk to you personally."
Alison opened the door and the doctor walked in.
Nicole said coldly, "Tell us, what's wrong with his blood?"
The doctor was frightened by Nicole's dominating air. Besides, outside the room there was Jason.
Jason had said that offending Nicole was offending the Don family, and the consequences would be
serious.
The doctor said in a hurry, "Mrs. Green, this is the blood analysis. There is some meth remaining in Mr.
Zac's body for quite a long time. Now he has become addicted to it."
Zac nearly went to pieces.
"How could that be? I have never got to that thing! How could it be in my body?"
Nicole immediately recalled what Zac had said about Lillian's taking over the cooking and his abnormal
health condition recently.
How ruthless Lillian was!
She laid hands on Zac!
Perhaps from the day Lillian came to the Green's, she had made a concrete plan. Fortunately, Nicole
had gone to City B, and Samuel did not stay at home often. Otherwise, Zac would not be the only one
who had a health problem right now.
Lillian knew Petty loved Zac deeply, but she still did that to Zac. Wasn't she afraid that Petty would hate
her when Petty knew about this?
A mixed feeling welled up in Nicole's heart.
Nicole suddenly understood. Lillian was doing this most likely because she worried that Zac wouldn't
help her, so she decided to use drugs to control Zac.
Once a person got into drug, his life would be totally destroyed. What exactly did Lillian want?
