"Aaron!"
When Nicole said this, Samuel was obviously stunned.
His expression was difficult to interpret. Without saying anything else, he directly turned around and
entered the room.
It was the first time for Nicole to see Samuel like this. But after thinking about it carefully, she finally
understood.
Although Aaron had nothing to do with him, Aaron and Zama had fallen in love. Moreover, they seemed
to have a child. So, Jarrod was likely to be Aaron's son.
If that was true, Jarrod was Samuel's half-brother.
Maybe no one wanted to accept such a result, especially Samuel.
Nicole did not disturb Samuel, so she went straight to the hospital.
Although Samuel had been there, she still wanted to check Fill's injury.
As Nicole got there, Blair was surprised to see her.
"Who put on your makeup? I don't dare to recognize you if I don't take a close look."
Blair's words made Nicole somewhat proud.
"I think so. I don't even feel like myself when I look into the mirror every day."
"Someone of the Sky Group did it?"
"Yes."
Nicole told the truth.
"How is Fill?"
Nicole went straight to the point.
There were mixed feelings in Blair's eyes. When he looked at Nicole, he paused for a moment before
saying, "Have you long known that Fill and Samuel were together?"
"Yes. Samuel didn't tell you and Xander because he didn't want you to be stuck in a dilemma. Samuel
did this for your good."
Nicole understood their relationship.
Since Fill left, there was no news from him. Everyone wanted to find him. They even thought that Fill
had died overseas, but now, they suddenly found that Fill was protected by Samuel. Fill had been living
on the border for so many years. To be honest, Blair couldn't accept it.
"He shouldn't have lived such a life."
"Everyone's life is different. It depends on how you choose. Since Fill had made this choice back then,
don't stop him if you are his true friend. That's what Samuel thought at that time. It's better to live a life
one likes instead of one where he is tortured, isn't it?"
Nicole's words stunned Blair once again.
He suddenly realized that he was superficial compared to Nicole.
That was true.
Fill was their friend. Even if their positions were different, they were still be friends as long as there was
no conflict of interest.
However, Blair also admired Samuel.
He knew what Fill had chosen but did not stop him. It could be seen that Samuel's temperament had
changed after he left the military compound with the mission.
Therefore, Samuel couldn't go back.
Whether this matter could be solved perfectly or not, Samuel couldn't make it.
Blair felt a little regretful.
"Samuel has made up his mind to leave, hasn't he?"
Nicole did not get what that meant at first, but she finally understood it after careful thinking.
"I respect Samuel's choice. Since he doesn't want to stay in the military compound, you don't need to
persuade."
"He did it for you."
Blair looked at Nicole and said sincerely.
However, Nicole shook her head and said, "Perhaps he did it partly for me, but not all. Blair, did you
regret taking off your military uniform for Gabrielle back then? Or are you regretful now?"
"Of course not."
After that, Blair felt that he applied double standards.
Yes.
Blair found that acceptable as for himself. But when it came to Samuel, why did he feel like Nicole was
holding Samuel up?
Why did Blair fall into the common error made by many men?
"Nicole, I'm sorry."
"There's no need to say sorry. I don't blame you for this. Let's get down to business. How is Fill?"
Blair sighed, "Not good. His wound is not deep. But he bled a lot, and his desire for survival is not
intense. You know, if the patient doesn't want to live, there is nothing doctors can do. Right now, we can
just give him the minimum life-support. As for when he will wake up, we don't know."
Nicole had thought of this.
"Without Whitney, Fill lived like a walking dead these years. It was because of his promise to Samuel
that he had not given up. Back then, Fill failed to save Whitney in time. Now that a woman resembling
Whitney had attacked him, he might think that this was his punishment. Therefore, Fill may have been
relieved when Ysabel stabbed him. His guilt for Whitney was also offset by this stabbing. However, he
lost the courage and faith to live."
Hearing Nicole's words, Blair nodded.
"That's right. This is the most troublesome. If he still has someone to care, maybe he can be woken up.
But now he has no nothing to care and no mental support. I'm afraid that he will never wake up and
then become a vegetable."
This was a scene that Blair hated to see the most.
Now Fill could only support his life on glucose. It was an insult that the once mighty him was half-dead
in bed. But they could do nothing.
Nicole was also a little sad.
She hadn't been in contact with Fill for a long time, but she knew that Fill was Samuel's best friend.
Now that Fill was reduced to this, Samuel probably wouldn't feel good, either.
"So, his life is not in danger right now?"
"No. He just doesn't have the desire for survival."
Blair was extremely upset about that.
It seemed that Fill lived only for Whitney and atonement.
Although nobody blamed him, he himself just couldn't get over it.
As Whitney's boyfriend, Fill did not stay by her side when Whitney needed him the most. Even after
she died, she could not be in one piece. This had been haunting Fill.
Fill just lived for vengeance and atonement.
But now, when Ysabel, another Whitney, stabbed that dagger into his chest, his path of atonement had
come to an end.
He felt that he had repaid what he owed Whitney. He wanted to follow Whitney and stop her on the
abyss bridge, and fall in love again in the afterlife.
Thus, Fill didn't want to live anymore.
Nicole felt depressed when she looked at Fill, who seemed to fall asleep on a life-support machine
through the window.
Fill was loyal, and so was Samuel.
If something happened to her, would Samuel behave like Fill? She didn't dare to imagine that.
No!
Samuel might be more ruthless, heartless, and lawless than Fill.
Because there was Golden Bug in his body.
Thinking of this, Nicole whispered to Blair, "How much do you know about Golden Bug?"
"Not much. I was more or less involved in this because of my previous mission. I studied it for a period
of time. However, it can't be thoroughly figured out overnight. Many people will never understand what
it is about in their lifetime. So, I am truly powerless on this matter."
Hearing Blair's words, Nicole was upset.
"Then there's no other way? There's a Golden Bug in Samuel's body. I don't know if it will affect him.
But it seems that his temper has changed a lot. He's become more irritable and violent. Sometimes, he
would be irritated for no reason."
Nicole whispered.
Blair frowned tightly.
"I once suggested him to wear jade. It will be more or less helpful. But you'd better ask the one who
poisoned him if you want to detoxify the Golden Bug."
Nicole immediately understood Blair's words.
Someone from the Harper Town poisoned Samuel. Whoever he or she was, old or young, it must be
someone from the Harper Town to detoxify it.
Therefore, the relationship between Samuel and the Harper Town was really confusing.
"Does everyone in the Harper Town know how to control bugs?"
"Probably. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been killed."
Blair's words made Nicole turn around.
"What do you know? How much did you know about the massacre of the Harper Town at that time?"
"Not much. It was a secret. Few people knew about it. I just accidentally knew something. It seems to
be related to the town's bug control back then. As for what exactly happened, I am not clear and have
no way to inquire."
Nicole looked at Blair and told from his eyes that Blair was not lying, but what kind of secret would
confuse everyone?
"This confidential document should be filed, right? If that's the case, as long as we have good hacking
skills, we can take a look."
Blair shook his head and said, "It's not filed."
"How could that be?"
Nicole was completely surprised.
If they hadn't filed it, how could they have dispatched so many people to slaughter in the Harper Town?
How could subordinates obey the order without warrants and documents from higher-ups?
However, Blair was not a liar, and there was no need for him to lie to Nicole. That was why she was so
surprised.
Blair shook his head and said, "I don't know. At that time, I was just a child, or maybe, I wasn't even
born. If you want to know about this, you can ask your grandfather. But he is under house arrest now."
"What did you say? Is my grandfather OK?"
Nicole instantly became nervous.
Earlier, she suspected that her grandfather had reported Samuel so he was in current situation. But
now Blair said that Edwin was under house arrest.
Nicole became worried at once.
"Don't worry," Blair said hurriedly. "He's fine. He is just restrained. But he can still eat and sleep well. I
guess the kidnapper might be afraid of him contacting you. I'm also curious about what exactly
happened. Don't worry, if you have time, I'll check it out through my connections. Even if I can't help, I
can assure you his safety."
"Thank you, Blair."
Nicole nodded in satisfaction.
She turned around and wanted to go back, but Blair said, "In the past, Samuel asked me to investigate
the terrorists who took away your grandfather's eldest daughter. I got some news recently. I'll send it to
you after I sort it out."
