"I didn't mean that. I was just teasing you. Are you really angry?"
Seeing that his wife was wronged, Samuel immediately stopped teasing her.
However, Nicole laughed out loud.
"I was just teasing you either."
"Alright, you've learned to scare me now, haven't you?"
Samuel paused for a moment. Seeing the naughty look in his wife's eyes, he couldn't help but reach
out and scratch her armpits.
"No! Stop it! Itch!"
Nicole immediately began to dodge.
"Don't run! If I don't teach you a lesson, I think you will always mess with me in the future."
Samuel pretended to be fierce and ran after Nicole.
How dare Nicole let him catch up?
As she ran, she laughed. The cheerful laughter was very pleasant to hear at night.
Jason looked at them through the French window. He couldn't help but curl his lips when he saw
Samuel and Nicole running farther and farther away from him.
"Nicole is living like a child now. Samuel is really good to her."
"Mr. Green truly loves Miss Nicole."
Claudina had finished her work and stood behind Jason. They all looked at Samuel and Nicole.
"Just now, I was afraid that Nicole would be sad because of second brother. How long has it been? She
is actually in a good mood now. Samuel is really good at making her happy."
Claudina paused for a moment and said, "Mr. Jason, why don't you let Miss Nicole get involved? Are
you afraid that something would happen to her?"
Jason's eyes darkened a little as he whispered, "I don't know where second brother is right now. In
Country F, I also don't know what the situation is. If Nicole rashly goes over and the two of them start
fighting, it would be a tragedy. Moreover, Sally is an unpredictable woman. Do you think that she came
to me just to tell me what happened back then? She said that she owed Audrey, so she came to
explain the situation and tell us the truth about Xander and Audrey. Do you believe her? They are all
dead, so what's the point of having such a truth?"
Claudina still didn't understand.
"Mr. Jason, then why do you think she came to the Don's to say such a thing?"
"Why? For our manpower. If we know that second brother is still alive, we would naturally send people
to Country F to find out his whereabouts. However, once our people set foot on the territory of Country
F, they will definitely be used by her. Then she will say that the Don family is her backing. Do you think
the king of Country F will believe her or us?"
The moment Jason said those words, Claudina's expression immediately changed.
"I'm sure the king will believe her! This woman is simply too treacherous."
A cold light flashed in Jason's eyes.
"Although I don't know why she wants the Don family to interfere in her affairs in country F, I will
definitely look for second brother. Back then, when dad had died suddenly, he was not clear about
second brother's matter, but mom was clear about it. For so many years, mom had been thinking about
second brother, but she had never mentioned it. After Xander died, mom locked herself in her room for
a few days. In the end, she fainted from hunger and was sent to the hospital for treatment. At that time,
mom should be thinking about second brother. Actually, mom had never given up searching for my
second brother for so many years. Unfortunately, second brother didn't tell us which country he went to.
Who would have thought it would be Country F? My mother passed away, and there were so many
reports about the news, but second brother still didn't show up. At that time, I thought that he was dead.
I didn't expect that there would still be news of him. So, no matter what he looks like or what his identity
is now, I must find him. "
Jason's hands clenched tightly together.
Claudina knew Jason too well, so he didn't say anything. As long as it was Jason's order, he would
follow it.
After Samuel and Nicole chasing each other for a while, Nicole felt warmer.
Her face was flushed red and she looked very lovely.
"Get in the car. It's warm."
Samuel pulled Nicole into the car.
The two of them turned on the air conditioner in the car, looked at each other, and suddenly laughed.
They were like children just now.
"Fasten your seat belt. Let's go to the hospital."
Samuel smiled faintly. Nicole enjoyed the feeling of be spoiled by him.
When the two of them drove to the hospital, because it was night, there were relatively few people in
the hospital.
Samuel held Nicole's hand and quickly arrived at the door of Cara's intensive care unit.
Laurence sat there and looked inside worriedly, frowning. When he noticed that someone was coming,
he suddenly raised his head and saw Nicole and Samuel walking towards him hand in hand.
Nicole looked at Laurence in front of her.
His face was covered with the stubble, and his eyes were bloodshot. Obviously, he did not have a good
rest, or perhaps he had not rested since Cara was shot.
"Is Cara alright?"
Nicole said.
Laurence shook his head and said guiltily, "Not good. The doctor said that the bullet passed through
her shoulder blade, and it might leave a scar. Moreover, she can't use any strength on her right arm in
the future. It will hurt in rainy and cloudy days."
At this point, a trace of heartache and a complex emotion flashed through Laurence's eyes.
Nicole could tell that Laurence liked Cara, but he was too stubborn towards the Adela, who was dead,
and his previous promises.
It wasn't a bad thing for him to keep his promises, but he couldn't risk his entire life.
Nicole looked at Laurence and said in a cold voice, "Cara could have been living a better life. If she
didn't like you, she wouldn't have taken a bullet for you. I think you know about this matter even if I
didn't say it."
"I know, I won't let her down."
Laurence suddenly made up his mind.
Nicole heaved a sigh of relief in her heart.
She knew that Laurence was a stubborn person. Once he was determined, he would not change it
easily. Now, he saw Cara's sacrifice. Because he had been interested in Cara before, this injury would
push their relationship forward. Samuel and she could clearly see this point.
However, Nicole still whispered, "Loving someone and repaying someone is totally different. Laurence,
if you don't love her, then don't make any promises. There are many ways to repay the kindness of
saving your life. Perhaps the most stupid way is a lifetime commitment, and it isn't necessarily what
Cara wants. You should know that all she wants is pure love, not your money or your status but you.
That's all. "
Laurence's body trembled.
He knew that Nicole was telling the truth.
Was it to repay Cara?
Laurence didn't know.
He quickly recalled the trifles of them.
Actually, he hadn't been with Cara for a long time, but he could still remember the way Cara smiled.
She smiled warmly and gently, making people feel a trace of peace from the bottom of their hearts.
He liked to be with Cara.
He knew that this feeling had nothing to do with repaying.
Laurence suddenly realized that although he didn't spend much time with Cara, every time was his
most comfortable and happy time. Although he didn't say anything, he could not lie to himself about the
feeling in his heart.
He liked Cara!
When did this happen?
Laurence didn't know, but he suddenly realized.
Perhaps it was the moment Cara took the bullet for him, or perhaps it was when Cara was around him
all day long. Perhaps it was the first time he saw Cara.
He didn't know when, but he remembered that Cara was always smiling at him. Every time, she
suffered for him.
It had been many years since he had the feeling of liking someone.
When he was eighteen, Adela told him that she liked him.
She smiled warmly like the sun.
At that time, Laurence's heart was moved, but because Adela liked him, he was beaten and scolded by
Cynthia. At that time, he knew that he was not good enough for Adela.
His first love was under such pressure.
He didn't know since when his feeling for Adela had become a kind of responsibility or guilty.
After all, a girl like Adela could have more choices, but she quarreled with her mother because of him.
Every time after the quarrel, she would be grounded by Cynthia. However, Adela began to think of all
kinds of ways to see him.
Hunger strike, suicide.
Although Laurence was touched by her persistence, he also felt repressive.
This feeling had long changed since Cynthia intervened.
However, Adela persisted, and Laurence could only accompany her.
Afterwards, Cynthia could not take it any longer, so she joined forces with outsiders to sell Laurence.
That time, Laurence was actually happy.
Although he had been sold to the Dungeon and he knew he might die, he inexplicably heaved a sigh of
relief. He even felt that the huge rock that was pressing down on his heart had been removed.
He and Adela finally separated.
He no longer had to guiltily face Adela's warm and expectant gaze, nor did he have to struggle
between Cynthia and Adela.
Adela was like an angel to him, and Cynthia was a devil.
Laurence had had enough of the days when he lived in the heaven and the hell at the same time, but
he had no right to refuse.
When Laurence was brought to the Dungeon, he felt that he was finally free.
Even if someone killed him, he would die smiling.
He could use his life to pay back what he owed Adela.
However, he didn't expect that Adela would come to the Dungeon for him. Not only did she come to the
Dungeon, she also had connections with Nicole.
Laurence really didn't want to leave at that time. However, the Dungeon was too chaotic. If something
happened to Adela here, even if Laurence died, he would not die in peace.
He had to send Adela back.
However, this time, Adela could not come out anymore.
She was sick, and then she died, leaving this world with her full love for Laurence.
At that moment, Laurence was in despair.
How could he repay Adela?
There was still a trace of hope for him that he could live a normal life. Even if he died, he could be
relieved. However, before Adela died, she asked him to take care of her parents, leaving behind a goal
and motivation for him to survive.
However, Adela did not know that Laurence was already tired.
In this relationship, there was no longer the initial passion and excitement. All that remained was
exhaustion and hurt in the heart.
But he didn't even have the right to die.
He had no way to tell Adela all of this. He didn't even have a chance. He could only live like a walking
dead, but he didn't expect to meet Cara.
Cara was his redemption, allowing his dead heart to come back to life. However, he knew that he would
never be able to get rid of Cynthia in this lifetime. How could he let Cara follow him to hell?
Now, Cara's recklessness finally made it impossible for Laurence to avoid anymore, and he also looked
straight at his feelings. At this moment, he knew that for the sake of Cara, he couldn't continue to live
like this.
Thinking of this, Laurence suddenly raised his head and wanted to say something. However, the sound
of a first aid bell rang in the ICU.
Nicole, Samuel, and even Laurence's expressions instantly changed.
