Nicole was excited.
"Is it Phoenix?"
While Nicole was excited, Samuel was somewhat worried.
"No, it shouldn't be Phoenix. It takes at least ten minutes or more to investigate. It's impossible for her
to reply us so soon."
Hearing Samuel's words, Nicole became worried.
"Will Phoenix be in danger?"
Samuel did not say anything and quickly read the message. There were only four letters, "TTYL".
Phoenix might be in great danger now.
Perhaps there was an emergency. She had to lose touch with them immediately.
Samuel was worried about the safety of Phoenix. But now they couldn't use the phone or the computer.
Although he was anxious, there was nothing he could do.
He believed that Phoenix would successfully deal with the crisis. As four masters of the Sky Group, she
wouldn't be easily defeated.
"What's going on?"
Nicole asked when she saw that Samuel was anxious.
Samuel replied softly, "She has to lose touch with us now. There may be an emergency. We don't know
what's going on in Country F. We can only wait for their message till the lockdown ends."
Nicole was also worried.
Trevin was still in Country F. She had no idea about his condition. Also, she wondered what was
happening between Zayn and Major.
Nicole thought that the king of Country F was quite smart. He announced a national lockdown to deal
with the internal affairs. Samuel and Nicole were floored by the lockdown and couldn't interfere.
Nicole was quite worried about Trevin who had been missing for a long time.
She wondered if he was exposed.
She also worried about his safety.
In the past, Trevin had been safe under Zayn's protection. But after she learnt Sally's situation, she
became concerned about Zayn.
Zayn was alone without any support. Nicole wondered if he could keep fighting alone.
The other princes had supporters from their mothers' families. But Zayn didn't have any support. Nicole
never expected this.
She thought that she could be Zayn's support. But she didn't expect that she would be isolated before
she could arrive Country F.
A man said that he would let Zayn be the king of Country F if Zayn succeeded.
Who could give such a promise?
Could it be the king?
Something occurred to Nicole.
King?
Was that man the king?
She thought of the conversation between that man and Sally. Her mind became clear.
If that man was the king, then Sally was one of his wives. That was why he told Sally that she could just
be a good wife rather than involving in the mess. Only the king could control everything in Country F.
Even though he knew that Sally's death was fake, he could still conceal it for her. So Sally could have
more freedom. Meanwhile, he could control all her actions.
Sally said that she was forced to give birth to Zayn. It was possible that the king could force Sally to
have his baby.
Otherwise, there was no other reason for that man to control Sally.
Nicole became clear-headed.
"Samuel, I know the identity of that man."
"He is the king of Country F."
Nicole solved the puzzle. So did Samuel.
As they had the same opinion, Nicole hurriedly said, "Then why did the king of Country F look for
Aaron? Did Country F have something to do with the extermination of the Harper Town more than 30
years ago?"
Samuel's eyes became sharp.
"If they were related, the gold mine of the Harper Town might be coveted by the others. This is not only
about the Harper Town, but the state-owned resources. This is treason! If Country F provokes such an
aggression, it shouldn't exist any longer."
Samuel's eyes were filled with anger. At this moment, Nicole could learn Samuel's temperament as a
soldier.
He couldn't just sit back and let terrorists get their way!
Nicole admired Samuel so much.
"I will support you no matter what you do."
Nicole held Samuel's hand tightly.
There was tenderness from Samuel's sharp eyes.
"We will do it together."
"Alright."
Nicole smiled and nodded. The future would be difficult and dangerous. But Samuel was by her side.
And they were doing it for their country. Nicole felt that everything was very meaningful.
Perhaps this was faith and the loyalty of a person to a country.
Nicole was passionate and patriotic.
She realized that she was so close to Samuel's soul at this moment.
She hugged Samuel and said softly, "Let's go find Sally. Perhaps she needs her family now."
"You can go first. It's not a proper timing for me to show up yet. You can go and comfort her."
Samuel patted Nicole's hand.
Sally was indeed pitiful. Her lover and her son were both controlled by others. She was not free and
struggling bitterly. She had spent all her youth and effort. Now, she was still rootless.
Nicole knew where Sally's home should be. Even though it was very difficult, she still hoped that she
could bring Sally home.
Sally was away from home for a long time, wasn't she?
Thinking of this, Nicole let go of Samuel and said softly, "Take good care of yourself. I'll visit Sally. I'll be
back as soon as possible."
"Alright."
Samuel smiled gently.
Nicole left her bedroom. But she hesitated when she was at the door of Sally's room.
Nicole didn't know whether Sally had returned and how she felt. Nicole couldn't just rush in. What
should Nicole say?
Nicole went back to the room and took some biscuits. She came to Sally's room again and knocked on
her door.
"Sally, are you asleep?"
Nicole was gentle. Sally answered her with the hoarse voice.
"What happened? I'm not feeling well."
How could Sally feel comfortable after all the things just now?
Actually, Nicole did not want to disturb her. But she knew that Sally would only feel even more
uncomfortable when being alone.
So Nicole knocked on the door again and said, "Sally, I brought some biscuits and tea. I can't sleep
either. Samuel is not around. So I can talk to no one. I often chat with my grandpa at home. But if I call
him now, he won't be able to sleep."
The door was opened.
Although Sally tried her best to conceal her sadness, Nicole could still learn that she had cried before
from her puffy eyes.
Even such a strong and arrogant woman could do nothing but cry.
This was a woman's sorrow, and also Sally's fate.
"Come in."
Sally glanced at Nicole and asked her to come in.
Nicole entered and closed the door.
"Sally, do you have tea sets here?"
Nicole asked. Sally was generous. She took out a tea set from the cupboard and handed it to Nicole.
She said softly, "I'm going to take a bath. You can make the tea here."
"Alright."
Nicole nodded.
After the tea was done, Sally walked out of the bathroom.
Perhaps because of the bath, Nicole noticed that Sally's swelling went down and could hardly see her
puffy eyes.
When Nicole came, Sally should have just returned. Otherwise, she wouldn't have seen Sally with such
an upset face.
"Sally, have a cup of tea. Taste the tea I make."
Nicole smiled and handed the tea to Sally.
Sally took a sip. The tea smelled good. Then Sally said, "Good tea."
"If you like it, take more. When you return to the Shaw's, you can taste the tea made by grandpa. It is
the best."
Nicole mentioned Edwin a lot today. Nicole wanted Sally to know that they were a family. No matter
where she was, Nicole would bring her home.
Sally paused and looked down.
"Really? Unfortunately, I don't have the chance to taste it."
"There will be a chance. After we deal with the problems of the Harper Town, we will go home.
Grandpa will be very happy to see you. So do I."
Hearing Nicole's words, Sally was stunned.
"Are you happy?"
"Of course. My mother has passed away. When I am with you, I feel like I am with my mother. If I can
be with you every day in the future, I think my mother will be happy as well."
Nicole's words moved Sally.
"Audrey's death was a tragedy."
She knew how Audrey died and felt sad.
She could never meet the relative with the same face again.
Perhaps Audrey was happy to die with Xander. They may end up better than Sally, who had not met
William for many years.
Sally was distracted. Then Nicole quickly filled her up with tea and said softly, "Sally, I always believe
that my mother may bless you in heaven. You will definitely succeed."
'Succeed?'
Sally thought about the word and smiled.
"I hope so."
Nicole was relieved when she saw Sally was better.
Sally sipped the tea and said softly, "You aren't coming to chat with me, right?"
She knew better than anyone that Nicole was wary of her. Even though they were a family, Nicole was
still wary of her.
She didn't blame Nicole.
Everything remained mysterious. If she was Nicole, she would feel the same. Therefore, when Nicole
suddenly came to her, she knew that Nicole wanted more than just chatting with her.
Nicole didn't know how to explain, so she suddenly felt upset for Sally. So when she heard Sally's
question, she didn't know how to answer it.
Nicole was puzzled. When Sally saw this, she smiled and said, "You are Mrs. Green now. And your
children are five years old. This is not good to show everything on your face."
"I..."
Nicole didn't know what to do.
When Sally saw this, she smiled and said, "I know that you must come with a purpose. Do you want to
know Aaron's identity? Fortunately, I have some clues. I was just about to tell you."
When Nicole heard this, she was instantly stunned.
Did Sally find out Aaron's identity?
