Lucas held Joseph so tightly that Joseph couldn't breathe anymore.
Joseph looked at Lucas in his arms. The coldness in his eyes faded slowly, and the surrounding
seemed to warm up bit by bit.
Yes.
He still had them.
These people were his relatives, brothers by blood.
Only they would be sincere to him, no conspiracy and trade-offs.
Joseph's eyes slipped down a tear again.
He hugged Lucas and put Lucas' face against his neck. He choked, "Lucas, thanks to you, otherwise..."
Otherwise, he wouldn't even know what the meaning of living in this world was.
Joseph did not say these words, but he swore secretly that everyone in this family would be the one
who had to protect in his life, even if he had to sacrifice his life.
This was the meaning and value of his life!
After the last wisp of coldness in his eyes dissipated, he let go of Lucas and smiled, "When did we
become like this?"
After hearing that he could joke, Lucas put out his fist and punched him.
"You're the sissy. Who was crying just now?"
Joseph abruptly wiped away his tears and stubbornly said, "Did you get something in your eyes? You
can't see clearly in daylight."
"Joseph, you are shameless. You cried and even called me blind? Who did you learn it from?"
"Didn't I learn everything from you? You are the boss, Lucas."
A few words from Joseph immediately stunned Lucas.
Lucas was speechless!
When did Joseph become so mean?
Lucas wrinkled his nose. When he saw Joseph come to the computer to check Morgan's whereabouts,
he felt a little distressed and said, "Well, leave this matter to me, or tell Daddy and Mommy. I heard that
Sally asked Mommy to find Morgan's whereabouts. After all, you are her student. There are some
things you can't do."
"There's nothing I can't do. Didn't you also say that? Sally asked Mommy to look for her. There's
nothing wrong with me coming forward."
Joseph said indifferently, a trace of coldness flashing through his eyes.
He was the boss of his generation, so he should take care of his family and siblings. He would not let
anyone harm his family!
Joseph was as straightforward as ever in making choices.
He would try his best for the relationships that were worth it, but when they were not worth it...
Joseph's heart ached for a moment, but he still insisted.
Unworthy relationships depended on who was more scheming and whose heart was more ruthless.
After all, he was just a child. After making such a decision, Joseph gave Lucas a look.
"Where exactly is this?"
"The First Cemetery, but it's probably useless even if we rush over. She won't stay there and wait for us
to go."
Lucas' words caused Joseph to pause slightly.
"She's in the Seapolis City?"
"So far, it looks like this."
Joseph suddenly felt a little uneasy.
"What's the matter?"
Lucas turned off the computer and asked worriedly as he looked at Joseph.
Joseph took a deep breath and said, "Sally asked Mommy to search for her. Mommy thought she was
in Country F, but she appeared in the Seapolis City. Since she was there, it's easy to find her. She
could even come to Daddy and Mommy, but she didn't."
"What do you suspect?"
Lucas suddenly understood, naturally recognized the suspicion in Joseph's words.
Joseph gritted his teeth and said, "I'm afraid there is another truth to the news that she was injured to
protect Sally."
Lucas thought for a while, then took Joseph's hand and said, "Tell Daddy and Mommy about this. They
might have plans for this. If we take actions, we might ruin their plans."
Joseph nodded, but he was obviously in a bad mood.
When the two boys called Nicole, she happened to return to the Don's with soy milk and dough sticks.
After a night's rest, Zoe was refreshed. She immediately turned into a foodie, and all she could think
about was food.
Nicole felt much more comfortable with Zoe's behavior.
She didn't want to believe what Samuel said.
Her daughter was a happy foodie, a little princess, and occasionally lost her temper, but she was as
naive as a girl of her age.
As Nicole said this to herself, she looked at Zoe with love.
Samuel naturally knew what was in his wife's mind, and he didn't argue with her. Anyway, this was
good.
Zoe liked to pretend to be naive, then so be it. Wasn't it good to see Zoe so happy?
When the phone rang, Nicole subconsciously took a look at it. Seeing that it was Lucas, she couldn't
help but smile.
"Lucas probably can't wait any longer. He might call us now and urge us to pack our things to go back."
As Nicole spoke, she answered the phone and walked out.
"Hey, kid. I'll go back with your daddy and sister in a moment. Don't rush us."
Nicole's words made Lucas don't know whether to laugh or cry. He said, "Mommy, are we still going to
travel?"
"What do you mean? You don't want to go?"
The corners of Lucas' lips twitched again.
Didn't he want to go?
Why did Nicole say that?
However, at this time, Lucas could not say anything else. He quickly told Nicole about Morgan's
presence in the Seapolis City.
Nicole's eyes darkened slightly.
Morgan was in the Seapolis City?
She was actually in the Seapolis City!
Then Sally...
Nicole's heart suddenly beat faster.
"Do you know where she is?"
"The coordinates were displayed at the First Cemetery during the call."
Nicole's hand suddenly tightened.
The First Cemetery?
"When was the call?"
"Over than ten minutes ago."
Nicole was worried again.
She just left there.
"Stay at home. You are not allowed to go anywhere, neither is Joseph. No matter who calls, you must
stay at home, okay? Let's talk about it when Daddy and I get back."
Hearing the anxiety and worry in Nicole's tone, Lucas quickly nodded.
After Nicole hung up, she left in a hurry with Samuel and Zoe.
"Mommy, I haven't finished yet. My sweet soybean milk ... Mommy!"
Zoe was still holding the fried dough stick in her hand. She looked at the sweet soybean milk which
was further and further away from her with a pitiful look, and her small mouth pouted.
"What's the matter?"
Samuel picked up Zoe and got into the car with Nicole.
Nicole started the car and whispered, "Morgan is in the Seapolis City, and she's in the First Cemetery!
Sally was there alone just now. I'm afraid..."
"Don't panic. During this period, everything that should happen has happened. Even if you are in a
panic, it's useless. Let me drive."
Samuel put Zoe into Nicole's arms and exchanged seats with her.
Zoe frowned, looked at the fried dough stick in her hand, and sighed slightly.
She sighed.
Couldn't they let her finish the breakfast?
She was so hungry!
But seeing the worried look of her parents, she still laid down in Nicole's arms and continued to nibble
at the fried dough stick.
Samuel drove the car to the First Cemetery.
After the two of them got out of the car, they immediately discovered traces of a fight here. Although
there weren't any bodies, the blood sprayed on the leaves made them lost in thought.
Did the blood belong to Sally?
Or someone else?
Samuel looked around again and found traces of the sniper rifle.
"Nicole, there was a sniper here."
Nicole carried Zoe to this position, and then looked down. The best sniper position was where Sally
stood when she left.
Now, there was blood there.
So, did that blood belong to Sally?
Nicole was deeply worried, and the pain was unbearable.
"Is Sally dead?"
"I didn't see her corpse. She should be alive. Don't worry. Sally should be able to protect herself."
Seeing that his wife was so sad, Samuel couldn't help but be a little angry.
Morgan deserved to die.
Nicole held Samuel's hand and felt that her cold body was warm and reliant.
"I shouldn't have left her here alone."
"Don't blame yourself. We don't know Sally is an enemy or a friend, so that's the wisest choice. Nicole,
there are some things that we can't control. Let nature take its course."
Nicole also knew that Samuel was right, but did she really want to let nature take its course?
She didn't know.
Nicole and Samuel brought Zoe back to villa of the Shaw family.
Edwin was so happy to see them coming back that he insisted on letting Steve make some coke
chicken wings for Zoe.
Zoe happily called out great grandfather, which made Edwin extremely happy.
Looking at Edwin's happy expression, Nicole was especially gloomy.
Edwin knew nothing about Sally's current situation. If Sally died, how could she be worthy of this kind-
looking old man in front of her?
Samuel seemed to know what Nicole was thinking and tightly held her hand.
His palm was dry and warm, strangely calming down the negative emotions in Nicole's heart.
Nicole smiled at him, and then said in a tired look, "I'm going to see Lucas and the others."
"Check on Joseph by the way."
Samuel's words made Nicole react immediately.
What was the relationship between Morgan and Joseph?
What did Joseph do to Morgan?
All of them saw it in their eyes. They were afraid that today's incident would give Joseph a big blow.
Nicole didn't have time to care about Sally anymore, so she hurriedly went to Joseph's room, only to
see Joseph holding a medical book and reading it.
"Mommy? You're back?"
"You..."
Nicole really wanted to ask whether he was alright. But thinking about how young Joseph was and he
might know nothing about Morgan, Nicole didn't know how to explain to Joseph if he asked.
If Joseph didn't feel hurt, her question would only make the child sad.
Thinking of this, Nicole hurriedly changed the topic.
"Have you eaten breakfast? Why are you reading so early in the morning? You are almost a nerd now!
Let's go, Zoe is back. Mommy will take you down to find Zoe and pack up. Our family will go on a tour."
Nicole's voice was as usual, but her palm was sweating, and Joseph noticed all this.
"Alright."
He obediently replied, but a trace of firmness flashed across his lowered eyes.
He would do everything to protect his family, so he wished that his master would not make things
difficult for him.
