No one could understand Sally's sorrow.
Nicole watched as Laurence came out of the emergency room. She heaved a sigh of relief when she
heard the doctor say that his injuries weren't serious.
When Laurence was pushed out, he looked around and was relieved to not see Cynthia.
Nicole found it a little funny.
"Now you are scared? I thought you enjoyed how Cynthia treated you."
Although Nicole felt a little sympathetic towards Laurence, she was still very unhappy to think about
how obedient Laurence always was in front of Cynthia.
Laurence smiled bitterly and said, "I was just following Adela's instructions. I didn't want to have
conflicts with Cynthia."
"The nicer you are to her, the pushier she becomes. If you had been tough with her from the start, you
wouldn't have to tolerate her for these years. Alright, I won't comment on your matters anymore. You
should make your own decision now and I won't interfere you. Now that Cynthia has been detained, are
you really going to let her stay in the jail? "
Nicole was a little surprised.
Laurence looked cold on the outside, but he was actually a very soft-hearted man. Although Cynthia
treated him badly for all these years, Adela has been very nice to him. Nicole was really afraid that
Laurence only planned to scare Cynthia.
Cynthia was definitely not the kind of person who would compromise after being frightened. She would
keep doing what she wanted and finally would get herself into real troubles.
Laurence pondered for a moment and said, "Well, let her stay there. It's safer to be inside than outside,
and she can see the situation clearly in this way."
"Aren't you afraid that others would think you are an ungrateful person?"
"Whatever. I know what kind of person I am."
Seeing that Laurence had made up his mind, Nicole was finally satisfied.
She looked at Laurence, then at Samuel, and she whispered, "Leave this matter to me and Samuel.
Your main task for this period of time is to accompany Cara and take care of yourself. I'll give you ten
days. After that, you should follow me and Samuel to Country F."
"Alright."
Laurence had no objections to this.
After leaving the hospital, Nicole and Samuel got into the car.
Samuel whispered, "Why after ten days? I thought you would leave immediately."
"No, there's no need to mess up our lives for others. Besides, if we don't go, the chaos in Country F is
inevitable whether we are there or not. Major still wants us dead, and the fight between Zayn and
Santino will not end in ten days. So, it won't make any difference for us. It's just the others who would
be worried."
Hearing Nicole's words, Samuel knew that she has become more mature and steadier.
Indeed, no matter they leave now or later, the result would be the same. It was simply a matter of being
passive or active. If what Sally said was true, Major, Santino, and Zayn couldn't spare any time to
cause trouble for them, then why would they rush to find trouble for themselves?
At this time, they might as well do something they want to do.
"What are your plans?"
"First we should let Ernesto search for Morgan and secretly rescue him. As for the rest, we can talk
about it ten days later. I want to go on a vacation with the kids."
Nicole felt that she didn't spend enough time with her children. She didn't know if the children would still
need her when she was finally free. Now that the children need their parents, she hopes that she can
find time to spend with them as much as possible.
Samuel was happy to hear what Nicole said.
"Alright, is there anywhere you want to go?"
"Not really."
Nicole smiled.
She just suddenly came up with the idea, and hadn't thought about where she wanted to go. The
weather here is a little cold. They should go somewhere warmer.
She couldn't help but think of Bordeaux.
However, because of the matter with the Harper Town, Nicole decided not to go there.
Samuel put her hand in his palm and whispered, "Let's go home and ask the children where they want
to go."
"Can we bring Zoe out of the Cawker's?"
Nicole knew that Zoe stayed at Emory's house to accompany Nash, but if they were going on a
vacation, they couldn't leave Zoe behind.
Samuel sighed softly and said, "Let's ask later."
"Alright."
They changed direction because of Nicole's impromptu thoughts.
This time they arrived at Emory's house, the guards here were still very strict.
Nicole thought of what Claire asked her to investigate last time. Although there was no news from the
Night Elf Empire, Nicole knew that Claire was not a weak woman.
It was a little unexpected that they were actually allowed to enter. Nicole and Samuel both wondered if
it was because of Mark.
Then they walked into the Cawker's.
Claire was still watering the flowers and reading books, and seemed to be living a very peaceful life.
When she saw Nicole and Samuel, she smiled and said, "Are you here to greet me Happy New Year?"
"Yes, Claire. Happy New Year."
Nicole hurriedly smiled and walked towards her.
Samuel also greeted her, and then went to the room to see the children.
Claire pulled Nicole's hand and smiled, "Is it cold outside?"
"It's alright. But it's really warm in the house."
"That's right, I have turned on the heating."
Claire smiled and asked someone to make tea for Nicole.
When there were only two people left in the living room, Nicole whispered, "Claire, what you asked me
to...."
"The coat I asked you to bring me probably won't be needed. You see, I can't leave the house now.
Why don't you keep it for yourself?"
Originally, Nicole wanted to say that there was no news about what Claire asked her to investigate, but
Claire suddenly cut off the conversation. She even said something that was out of nowhere, which
instantly made Nicole realize something.
She followed Claire's gaze. Claire looked at the table and smiled faintly. Although she didn't say
anything, Nicole already understood.
There's a surveillance system at home.
Nicole was suddenly in a bad mood.
Who did this?
Uncle Mark?
Now that Uncle Mark had taken over Emory's position, was he helping the higher ups to monitor
Emory's family?
Thinking of this, Nicole felt uncomfortable.
"Has my uncle Mark been here?"
Nicole knew that she shouldn't have said it at this time, but she couldn't help it.
Claire was surprised to hear it. Then she smiled and said, "Yes, he came to visit me a few days ago. It's
actually not very appropriate for him to come by at this time."
Hearing Claire's words, Nicole was confused.
It looked like she misunderstood Uncle Mark.
What happened here made Nicole a little anxious.
"I want to bring Zoe back for a few days, but it depends on her intentions. We won't force her if she
doesn't want to leave."
Claire just smiled and said, "She shouldn't be locked up here. Take her home so that your family can
reunion for the New Year."
Nicole had a lot of things to say, but now she was unable to say a word to Claire because of the
monitoring system in the room.
How annoying was this!
She wondered when days like this would come to an end.
Nicole told herself that she had to make the Night Elf Empire move faster this time. Otherwise, she was
afraid that she would be suffocated.
The two of them then talked a little about the children and some women issues.
When Samuel brought Zoe out, Nash and Naomi followed behind. It could be seen that the three little
kids were getting along very well.
Seeing Nicole, Nash and Naomi greeted her politely.
"Mommy, Aunt Claire gave me pocket money for the New Year. Look, there's a lot."
Zoe happily threw herself into Nicole's arms with the money in her hand.
It's been a long time since Nicole hugged her daughter. Nicole missed her very much.
She put Zoe on her laps and pointed Zoe's nose with her fingers, "Do you still remember that I am your
mother?"
"Of course I do. Mommy is the best. I love Mommy the most."
Zoe smiled happily with her arms tightly wrapped around Nicole's neck.
Her sweet voice made everyone there laugh happily.
"Aunt Nicole, Uncle Samuel, Happy New Year."
Nash and Naomi greeted them. They didn't look too disappointed, and their moods were almost the
same as before.
Nicole didn't know how Claire enlightened the two children. But it was for the best that the children
weren't affected much by the current situation.
"Thank you. I came here in a hurry and didn't bring you anything. I'll send you guys some pocket
money through PayPal, alright?"
"There is no need."
Claire hurriedly stopped her.
However, Nicole smiled and said, "It's the New year. I should give something to the children."
As she spoke, Nicole transferred the money to the two children, each 1600 francs.
Nash and Naomi thanked Nicole happily.
Originally, Nicole thought that Zoe would refuse to follow them back like last time. Nicole was even
prepared to be disappointed. However, Zoe happily asked, "Mommy, Daddy said we are going on a trip.
Where are you going to take us?"
Nicole was stunned.
"You want to come back with us?"
"Yeah, do you not want me back? Do you stop loving me?"
Zoe pouted and blinked. Seeing that her tears were about to fall down, Nicole was scared.
"Don't cry, baby, how can Mommy stop loving you? Mommy is just too happy. How about we go home
now? Let's see where your brothers want to go, shall we?"
"Alright."
Zoe immediately stopped crying and laughed.
Seeing that Zoe wanted to go home, Nicole and Samuel did not intend to continue to stay here. In this
special period, the longer they stayed, the more disadvantageous it would be for Emory and Claire.
Samuel said, "Claire, we are going home. Call me if you need anything."
"Alright. Don't come here recently. After all, it's best not to be related to us in this special period."
Claire's words made Nicole sad again.
Samuel brought his wife and Zoe out of the Cawker's
Nash and Naomi did not cry, and Claire didn't leave the house to send them off.
Nicole's mood was still not good. After Samuel started the car, he said, "Fasten your seat belts. There's
a car following us. I need to lose it."
Hearing this, Nicole suddenly turned around and saw a car with no license plate following them.
