Was he really coming in?
Nicole tugged at the quilt, feeling very sad and conflicted.
She just ate some junk food behind his back.
Why was he so cautious about that?
At worst, she would just confess.
Thinking of this, Nicole lifted the quilt and was about to get the door when Samuel suddenly opened it.
"Hi, Samuel."
Nicole immediately said with a complaisant smile.
Seeing his wife's smile, Samuel felt a lump in his throat, not knowing what to say.
He didn't want to upset her, but he had to talk with her about Lucas.
Samuel's ignorance and complicated gaze panicked Nicole.
"I wasn't really angry with you just now. I know that it is normal for a man to watch adult videos. Alright,
I have to admit that I was pretending. I asked Wendy to buy some junk food for me. I was afraid that
you wouldn't let me eat it, so I took this opportunity to make a fuss. In fact, I just want some junk food.
I've already confessed. Will you forgive me?"
Her words stunned Samuel.
What?
Junk food?
Samuel frowned.
"You are not in a condition for it."
"I know, but I just can't help it. I promise you I won't eat it anymore. Please stop frowning. I'm scared."
Nicole blinked her big eyes and looked at Samuel.
Samuel sighed and said, "Nicole, I have something to tell you."
"I know that you must be very disappointed and angry. I'm really sorry. I promise I won't eat it anymore.
I know that you're saying this for my own good."
Nicole hurriedly apologized.
Turning around and closing the door, Samuel came to Nicole's side and took her into his arms.
Nicole was shocked by him.
"Samuel, what's wrong with you? I'm so sorry that I went too far just because I know you adore me. I
will never do it again."
"It doesn't matter. You're my wife. Your such performance just shows your care for me. I'm not angry."
Samuel placed his chin on Nicole's shoulder.
Now, he looked fragile, and for a moment, Nicole didn't know what to do.
She just ate some snacks, but what was the matter with Samuel?
"Samuel, what's wrong with you?"
"Nicole, something is wrong with Lucas."
Samuel had originally come up with several versions along the way, thinking about how to gradually tell
Nicole about Lucas. However, when he saw Nicole, he realized that it did not work no matter how full
preparation he had made.
She would be worried, sad, and couldn't help feeling heartache like him.
It was better to say it directly.
Sure enough Nicole paused, then pushed Samuel away and asked very seriously, "What did you just
say? I don't seem to hear you clearly."
Nicole was not like before. She was now a mother worrying about her children.
"Lucas sent the adult video," Samuel said painfully.
"Nonsense!"
Nicole subconsciously refused the fact.
"Samuel, I don't care if you look at the adult video. Why did you frame Lucas up? How old is he? He's
only four years old. How can you tell me that he's watching those things? Are you telling me that my
son is so precocious?"
Nicole was so shocked by his words.
Samuel knew that nobody would believe that. That was why he didn't tell Nicole the truth at first. But
now, Samuel had to comfort her when he saw that Nicole got so emotional after her words.
"Listen to me, don't get so emotional. It is very important. I've asked Wendy to bring all the servants out
to buy some goods for the New Year. Now I can only make a long story short. Can you hear me out
before expressing your opinion?"
With Samuel's seriousness, Nicole's heart sank.
She did not want to believe it, nor did she have the courage to face it. However, Samuel wouldn't lie to
her. In addition, Samuel paid so much attention to this matter, so Nicole nodded.
When Samuel saw that she became calm, he said, "To be exact, Lucas was under too much pressure
after the shooting, but he was so pushy that he had a stress reaction."
"What does that mean?"
Hearing his words, Nicole felt completely upset.
Looking at Nicole, Samuel said, "Simply put, Lucas created himself another personality under the
pressure."
"What?"
Nicole was stunned.
Samuel knew that it was very difficult for her to accept it. At first, it was also hard for him, too. But now,
everything was water under the bridge. He could only face and deal with it along with Nicole.
"Nicole, don't get so excited and listen to me. Blair said that Lucas did not dare to close his eyes to
sleep when he returned from South Africa. He would recall the scene of that day and the appearance of
that dead man when he closed his eyes. Saying nothing about it, he acted very normally before us. He
even investigated the translation of the ancient book online, making all of us think that he had
recovered from that incident. In fact, he developed a second personality to withstand the pressure and
fear at that time, which made him look normal. Luckily, Lucas was so strong that his first personality
always suppressed the second, so there was little chance to let his second personality come out. "
"But when Blair gave him psychological counseling, he needed to hypnotize Lucas. At that time, Blair
hypnotized Lucas' first personality when his second personality took the opportunity to run out and sent
me the adult video. Fortunately, it allowed us to understand Lucas' condition as soon as possible.
Otherwise, none of us would predict what Lucas would become over a long time."
Samuel explained it clearly in simple words.
Nicole was so sad to hear that.
She thought herself as an unfit mother.
Knowing that her son was sensible, she really rarely paid attention to Lucas.
Even after the incident in South Africa, she thought that Blair would take good care of Lucas.
However, she did not expect that Lucas would become so.
Moreover, she had been unconscious for a while, which probably worried Lucas a lot.
If it had been that Lucas was too tired and the first personality couldn't suppress the second, no one
would have noticed that something was wrong with him.
It distressed Nicole a lot. She was sad now, but there was nothing she could do. They could only face
the problem and resolve it, which was the most responsible way for them as Lucas' parents.
"What is the treatment plan?"
Nicole did not cry and collapse as Samuel imagined before. Instead, she was extremely calm.
However, the calmer she was, the more Samuel knew that Nicole would definitely blame herself.
He held Nicole's hand tightly and whispered, "I've thought about it on the way back. As the New Year's
approaching, we are going to move to Edwin's place, so we can just give everyone a break and allow
them to go home and have a good new year with their families. Lucas must receive the treatment. I will
stay to send Lucas to Blair's place for treatment every day. And you can go to stay with Edwin. With
Tim's and Edwin's protection, I can be at ease."
Nicole didn't agree.
"No, I want to stay with Lucas. I paid a lot to have a son. I'm not worth being Lucas' mother, because
I've known nothing about his condition."
"It is not your fault. It is my ignorance that made things worse. Parents tend to ignore a mature and
sensible child. This is a common problem for parents, and I care too little about my son. Nicole, I have
spoken to Zayn on the phone. He said that Major would do something bad to you, so you should go to
Edwin's place. With Lucas' current state, I can only go all out to take care of him so I can't take care of
you. Only when you get to Edwin's place will I feel at ease."
Samuel was so worried about Nicole.
Nicole was awfully sad.
She was a mother.
What Lucas needed the most now was the parents' care, but she couldn't be his side. People who
weren't mothers wouldn't understand it.
Nicole fell silent.
Samuel knew that this was a bit cruel to Nicole, but there were no other perfect plans.
Major had been biding his time, watching them from the shadows. He could not afford to take this risk.
Lucas was also an uncertain time bomb. No one knew when his second personality would suppress his
first personality and do something unpredictable. Lucas was so strong and clever that ordinary people
couldn't stop him. Moreover, Lucas was his son, so he couldn't let outsiders notice it.
He himself was the most suitable one to stay with Lucas.
Samuel did not expect Lucas would become so at this moment.
He could only look after his son first and entrust Nicole to Mr. Shaw and Tim.
Being silent for a while, Nicole felt better before when she looked up.
"Samuel, is it because my poor health that you treat me like someone fragile?"
"What do you mean?"
Samuel asked subconsciously.
Nicole smiled and said, "You forgot that I am your disciple, and there are two Night Elf Empires to
protect me. In addition, you forgot that I am not only Mrs. Green, but also Lucas' mother."
Her words stunned Samuel.
What did Nicole mean?
He couldn't tell it for a moment.
However, Nicole was radiant and energetic. She was like a warrior who was about to enter the
battlefield. Samuel had not seen her with such high fighting spirit for a long time.
