Now Samuel was no longer as fiery and furious as before. Although Nicole knew that he had been rude
to her just because he was worried that he would hurt her, she still didn't want to talk to him.
Why did he think that she would forgive him so quickly after being reproved by him?
Nicole reached out to take the water, but she didn't speak to Samuel.
She opened the bottle and took a sip of water. Then she looked in the direction of the operating room in
silence, obviously treating Samuel as an invisible man.
Samuel smiled bitterly.
Nicole was sometimes cute and sometimes stubborn. Now she was probably going to give him the
silent treatment.
This was good. At the very least, they wouldn't quarrel and cause the Golden Bug in his body to
become restless again.
Samuel didn't explain or speak. He was just sitting there quietly and waiting with Nicole.
Nicole thought that he would say something, but she heard nothing after waiting for a long time. She
wasn't in the mood to squabble with him, for Lucas was still in the surgery.
When the doctor opened the door of the operating room, Nicole stood up.
"Doctor, how is my son?"
"He is fine. Fortunately, the wound is a bit off his chest. Otherwise, we really don't have any confidence
to save his life. He is a little weak now, and he is still asleep because of the anesthesia. He'll recover
after a period of rest."
The doctor heaved a sigh of relief.
He didn't know Samuel, but he was intimidated by Samuel's aura. Besides, he recognized those people
standing behind Samuel, who were from the Sky Group.
Since the Sky Group was here to protect this man, it indicated that the man must not be an ordinary
person. Now that his child was fine, the doctor could finally be relieved.
Samuel had someone bring Lucas back to the headquarters of the Sky Group.
Their identities were sensitive, so it would be inconvenient to leave Lucas in the hospital.
After returning to the headquarters, Nicole discovered that some rooms had been transformed into
wards with all kinds of medical instruments. Also, Samuel had asked Lightning to come back as soon
as possible.
Nicole didn't know Lightning, so Samuel patiently explained it to her.
"Lightning is an excellent doctor. He is as good as Ashley and Gabrielle. However, he isn't in the
country. He travels in poor areas all year round. He doesn't come back except when something big
happens. When I learned that Lucas was injured, I already called him. And he had booked a ticket to
come back. As long as he arrives, he can definitely save Lucas' life no matter how seriously injured
Lucas is. In the headquarters, I only believe Lightning."
Nicole nodded.
When she knew that Samuel went to deal with Petty instead of going to visit Lucas after he woke up,
she thought that Samuel didn't care about Lucas at all. Now she found out that she was wrong.
Just as Samuel said, the subordinate he trusted was rushing back. Besides, there were doctors taking
care of Lucas, so Samuel went to fix Petty without worry.
However, Nicole still didn't speak to him.
Samuel knew that she was angry, but he didn't explain anything and went to see Lucas.
Lucas was pale, but his breathing was steady. It looked like he was out of danger.
It was good that he was fine.
Zoe and Joseph ran out of the room after learning that Lucas had returned.
"Daddy, Mommy, can we get in to see Lucas?"
Zoe's eyes were filled with worry.
Nicole held her and whispered, "You can see him after he wakes up. He needs rest now."
Joseph glanced at Lucas from outside and then was relieved.
"Zoe, Lucas is fine. We should be quiet and let him rest. Let's see him when he wakes up, okay?"
Zoe believed what Joseph said.
She nodded.
She noticed that there seemed to be something wrong between her daddy and mommy.
"Daddy, did you quarrel with Mommy?"
Samuel was shocked for a moment and then nodded, "Yes, I made your mommy angry."
"Why don't you comfort Mommy now?"
Zoe thought her daddy wasn't that stupid.
But why didn't he placate Mommy?
Nicole blushed slightly.
She felt awkward to have a child try to reconcile her with Samuel.
Samuel looked at Nicole and whispered, "I don't know how."
Zoe wanted to roll her eyes.
He didn't know how?
He must be lying.
He had dressed up as a woman to amuse Nicole.
Now he said he didn't know how to pacify Nicole, which was obviously an excuse.
"Daddy, why don't you buy a bouquet of roses for Mommy? Or a piece of jewelry? Women love these
things."
Hearing this, Nicole curled her lip.
"I don't like those things."
Nicole said in a fit of pique.
Zoe felt that they should have had a big fight.
Nicole actually didn't give any chance to Samuel to apologize. How did he annoy Mommy?
Zoe kept blinking at Samuel.
Samuel felt that his daughter was so sweet.
He whispered, "Can you help me ask your mother what she likes and how can she cool down?"
Just as Zoe was about to speak, Nicole coldly said, "I won't cool down. I was looking out for someone,
but he isn't appreciative. I really shouldn't have done it."
This remark was rather acid.
Zoe didn't know what to say.
'Are they truly quarreling?'
'Do they really need a messenger?'
Why did Zoe feel that they were showing their love for each other?
Joseph coughed and said, "Zoe, I suddenly remember that we haven't finished the puzzle. Why don't
we...?"
"Right. Let's go back to the room and finish it."
Zoe freed herself from Nicole's arms and whispered as she passed by Samuel, "Daddy, you're a man.
Just say sorry to Mommy. If she doesn't forgive you, you can bring her into the room and sleep with her.
Nothing can't be solved by that. If it doesn't work for the first time, you can do it twice."
"Zoe! What nonsense are you talking about?"
Nicole was shocked.
Was this her daughter?
How would a five-year-old kid say such things?
'Come on!'
'Didn't they see that I'm here too?'
Zoe pulled Joseph and ran away the moment Nicole roared.
She gasped as she ran.
'Mommy is so scary now!'
'I'd better leave her to Daddy.'
Nicole's chest heaved as she watched the two kids run away. Then she took a glance at Samuel and
left.
Actually, she wasn't mad at him now. It was just that he didn't apologize or explain, so she had no
chance to be reconciled with him.
She wouldn't lower herself to apologize to Samuel, saying that she was wrong and asked him not to be
cross with her.
Although it was no big deal, Nicole was unwilling to do it.
She thought that she must have been spoiled by Samuel.
Given that they were in the hall, Samuel would be embarrassed to apologize in front of so many
subordinates. Thus, Nicole felt that it was best to go back to the room and settle it.
As long as Samuel followed her to their room, they would make up even if he didn't apologize.
As Nicole left the hall, Samuel wanted to follow her.
Zoe was right.
He was a man, so he had to apologize first. Even if Nicole ignored him, he could try Zoe's method.
Anyway, he didn't want his family to be ruined by Petty.
However, he felt something was wrong with his body the moment he moved forward.
A frantic force was running around in his body and surged towards his chest.
He staggered and quickly grabbed the back of the sofa chair to barely steady himself.
"Get out!"
He whispered in a cold voice.
The subordinates knew Samuel was temperamental these days, and they were frightened by Samuel's
grimness. Thus, they walked out of the hall in an instant.
After they left, Samuel knelt on the ground. He looked terrible, with cold sweat falling from his forehead.
He was in great pain!
His heart was aching, as if it was being gnawed by something. He felt like he was going to be
devoured.
Even though he had a high pain tolerance, he couldn't help but tremble now.
Beads of sweat dripped down on the floor.
Samuel bit his lower lip to stop himself from making a sound.
At this moment, Nicole had just returned to her bedroom. Suddenly, she felt a pain in her chest and
subconsciously grabbed the door handle, with panic and worry in her eyes.
What was wrong?
She tried her best to calm down and quickly opened the door. As she walked out, she saw Samuel
kneeling on the ground in a sorry state with his head down. It looked as if he was enduring great pain.
She could see his body trembling slightly.
"Samuel."
Nicole shouted and ran towards Samuel.
"What happened to you?"
At this moment, she forgot the argument between them and was only concerned about Samuel, who
was in a lot of pain.
"Don't come over!"
Samuel suddenly raised his head and scared Nicole.
His eyes turned golden, and Nicole almost went limb at the sight of the coldness in his eyes.
"Samuel, you..."
"I told you not to come over!"
Samuel gritted his teeth and shouted with all his strength, "Listen to me, Nicole. Now go back to your
room and lock the door. No matter what happens outside, don't open the door. Go!"
Nicole looked at him, the person she loved deeply. He was under great pain. His eyes were golden,
and the color of the blood jade over his chest was a little darker. Nicole shook her head and firmly said,
"I'm not leaving! I'm your wife. No matter what happens to you, you're always my husband!"
With that, she walked towards him resolutely step by step.
However, Samuel seemed to be frightened. The moment Nicole moved towards him, he hastily stood
up and retreated.
"Nicole, can you listen to me just for once? Do you know what I'm afraid of the
most?"
Nicole looked at him, the person she loved deeply. He was under great pain. His eyes were golden,
and the color of the blood jade over his chest was a little darker. Nicole shook her head and firmly said,
"I'm not leaving! I'm your wife. No matter what happens to you, you're always my husband!"
With that, she walked towards him resolutely step by step.
However, Samuel seemed to be frightened. The moment Nicole moved towards him, he hastily stood
up and retreated.
"Nicole, can you listen to me just for once? Do you know what I'm afraid of the
most?"
