Just as she was about to chase after them to see what they were going to say, she heard Booth speak
from behind her.
"Nicole, good morning."
"Morning. How is Karina?"
Nicole turned around and suppressed her depression.
"Mr. Davon said that the operation was very successful. When she wakes up, she will be under
observation for a day. She will be fine if there is no infection."
Speaking of which, Booth was grateful.
When Nicole heard this, she finally relaxed.
"Karina is pitiful. Being able to meet her is fate. Be nice to her."
"I know."
Booth nodded and looked at Nicole thoughtfully for a moment before saying, "Nicole, when Karina's
observation period is over, I will take her away."
"Take her away? Why?"
Nicole was a little startled.
She was quite surprised to meet Booth here. She was just about to have a good talk with Booth, and
she wondered how Booth's leg was. Was he in a wheelchair because he hadn't recovered yet?
Anyway, she got many questions to ask. But Booth said that he wanted to leave.
Nicole did not understand.
Booth did not hide anything from Nicole and whispered, "Karina has gone through some things in the
past few days when she disappeared. She is now so skilled that she can freely enter the palace of
Country F without being discovered. I asked her before, but she knew nothing. I'm afraid she'll be taken
advantage of and do something irreparable. So I'm going to take her away and settle in a place where
no one knows us. This way, her connection with the organization will be cut off. Perhaps she will be
cured."
Nicole immediately knew what Booth was thinking.
He wasn't just trying to cure Karina. He was afraid that Karina would be used and hurt Nicole and
Samuel.
Booth was nice to Nicole as before. Nicole felt a little sorry for him.
"You're my younger brother. If you just take her away like this, and that organization finds you, how can
you defend yourself? Booth, don't leave my sight. I will not allow anything bad to happen to you again.
Leave Karina to us. We'll get her out of her situation."
"Nicole, I'm a man. I can handle some things. Don't worry. I can't help you here, but it doesn't mean that
I'm just a pushover. You said that I'm your younger brother. How can I bring trouble to you?"
"You've never caused me any trouble. Booth, don't say that again. You're so sweet. I can't bear to part
with you."
Nicole hugged Booth as she spoke.
She owed him, the Kents, and Olivia. She didn't know how to return their favor.
Booth patted her back gently and smiled, "Nicole, I can't bear to part with you. But as we grow up, we
have a lot to do and to go through. But as a saying goes, separation is for the joy of our next meeting. I
believe that when we meet again, I will become even better, and you will be proud of me."
Nicole knew that Booth had made up his mind when she heard what he said.
Although he was a warm man, he was stubborn. Once he made a decision, he would not change it
easily. It seemed that he was determined to do it.
Even though Nicole was reluctant to part with him, she could not force him to stay. Moreover, this place
was not safe.
She let go of Booth and adjusted the strands of hair on his forehead before saying, "If you need
anything, tell me. You're my younger brother. If you stand on ceremony with me, I'll be angry."
"Alright."
Booth's eyes were wet.
He knew that Nicole was Olivia's best friend. At first, he just wanted to repay her for taking care of his
sister. However, he didn't expect that the more he got along with her, the more he felt that she
deserved him and her sister to do so much for her.
Actually, the affair of the Kent family had nothing to do with Nicole, but she insisted on taking
responsibility. Booth knew that there must be a strong tie between them. Since that was the case, he
was happy to have another sister.
"Then take good care of Karina. When you settle down and the organization behind her has been
found out, we'll find a time to let Karina meet her sister. I think Maddie misses her very much."
"Alright."
Booth nodded and walked into the room.
Someone put a hand on Nicole from behind and took her into his arm. The familiar smell enabled
Nicole to understand who was behind her.
"What are you doing?"
She broke free from Samuel's arms and was somewhat displeased.
Samuel went a little gloomy.
"You hugged him for more than 30 seconds! Nicole, Booth is a man!"
"So what?"
Nicole indifferently asked, a trace of displeasure flashing through her eyes.
Samuel suddenly felt a little angry.
"So what? You've never hugged me like that!"
"That's right. I have never left while taking your arm. Everyone can tell Booth is a man, but someone
just cannot tell that Phoenix is a woman."
After saying that, Nicole left.
Samuel paused for a moment. When he understood something, he smiled.
"Are you jealous?"
"I'm not."
Nicole lied.
Samuel followed and hugged Nicole from behind. He smiled, "I like to see you jealous."
"Samuel, are you sick? Let go of me! We are guests here. Do you have a sense of shame?"
Struggling, Nicole heard Samuel say, "Nonsense. We're at my brother-in-law's house. This is our home.
There is no need for us to pay attention to our behavior here. Besides, I'm hugging my wife, who dare
to judge me?"
"Brother-in-law? Samuel, you refused to take Davon as your brother-in-law, didn't you?"
Nicole felt so uncomfortable when she heard Samuel call Davon brother-in-law.
However, Samuel only smiled and carried Nicole into the room without saying a word.
"Put me down!"
Nicole felt that Samuel was getting bolder and bolder.
However, Samuel whispered, "Don't make any noise. Do you want to attract others over to see what
we're doing?"
"You ..."
Nicole felt Samuel was extremely cheeky now.
Samuel carried her into the room, then closed the door and placed her on the bed before saying,
"Phoenix asked me for help."
"With what? Why can't I tell she needs help?"
Nicole said angrily.
Samuel adored Nicole's jealous look. But he knew he shouldn't go too far.
"Davon imprisoned her. She asked me for help."
Hearing Samuel's reply, Nicole paused slightly.
"My brother imprisoned her? Are you kidding me? Have you ever seen a prisoner walk around?"
Nicole obviously didn't believe this.
Samuel whispered, "Although you may be jealous, it seems to be true. I asked around. Davon did give
an order not to allow Phoenix to leave the Sawyer's."
"How is that possible? This is the first time they've met, isn't it? Besides, they have done that thing. My
brother isn't unreasonable."
Nicole subconsciously spoke up for Davon.
Samuel was a little jealousy, but it was not the time to argue. He only whispered, "I think there should
be something wrong with this. Why don't you ask Davon what happened between him and Phoenix
after he wakes up? No matter what, she is the master of Sky Group. That Davon imprisons her
disgraces me."
Fill had been in charge of Sky Group. Samuel rarely said that it worked for him. Now, for the sake of
Phoenix, he had no choice but to tell the truth.
Although he didn't love Phoenix, he took her as his sister. He cherished the memory of those years
when they went to the battlefield together and survived.
He seldom saw Phoenix crying. But when Phoenix talked with him earlier, she shed tears. Her
aggrieved look upset him a lot.
Apart from anything else, just what Phoenix had done for Sky Group deserved Samuel, the top leader
of the organization, to help her.
Afraid that Nicole would misunderstand, Samuel hurriedly said, "I treat Phoenix as my sister. After all, I
adopted her and personally raised her for a few years. Besides, she saved me many times when we
went to the battlefield together. Now that she begs me, I can't ignore her. Moreover, this is the first time
Phoenix begs me."
Nicole knew that Phoenix saved Samuel's life. Although she was somewhat unhappy with Phoenix's
feelings for Samuel, she knew that Phoenix had given up. Her jealousy blinded her to the truth.
Nicole was a woman, so she naturally knew the feeling of a woman being forced. Moreover, a proud
woman like Phoenix couldn't stand being under house arrest, right?
"Alright, when my brother wakes up, I'll ask him what's going on."
Nicole nodded and agreed.
Samuel breathed a sigh of relief.
If he went to talk with Davon, he would definitely beat him. Once he did, Davon might misunderstand
his relationship with Phoenix. Apart from Davon's feelings for Phoenix, Davon was Nicole's brother, so
he would fly into a temper if he noticed that his brother-in-law was standing up for Phoenix.
Therefore, only Nicole would be the most suitable person to do this.
Samuel walked into the room with Nicole in his arms and whispered, "Honey, Davon hasn't awakened
anyway. There's nothing to do now. Why don't we do something meaningful?"
"No."
Nicole didn't want to satisfy Samuel.
It was daytime, but Samuel got a dirty mind. He has become more and more thick-skinned.
"I haven't been out of the Sawyer's. I want to go out and have a look."
After saying that, Nicole got up and left.
Samuel was a little depressed, but he quickly chased after her with a coat.
"You should wear more clothes when you go out. After all, we are not in Seapolis City. What if you
catch a cold?"
Samuel was a little worried.
However, Nicole said nonchalantly, "It's fine. My brother is a doctor. If I fall ill, he will cure me."
Samuel's face immediately darkened.
"You are the one who will have an injection and take medicine."
Samuel's reply left Nicole speechless.
Alright, she was scared of having an injection or taking medicine. She put on her coat and walked out
of the room hand in hand with Samuel. However, she found that the atmosphere in the Sawyer's
seemed to be a little strange.
Nicole didn't want to satisfy Samuel.
