Almost as soon as Nicole spoke, Samuel took out a dagger and stabbed it towards the direction of
Nicole's feet.
He felt that he had pierced into someone's skin. Samuel instantly became serious.
He wanted to capture the person hiding beneath the water, but that guy was smart and easily escaped.
The hot spring was now stained with blood.
Nicole grabbed her clothes and wrapped herself the minute she was free.
After checking that Nicole was dressed, Samuel called Davon.
When Davon rushed over with his people, the blood in the water had disappeared. Nonetheless, Davon
did not doubt what Samuel and Nicole said in the slightest.
"Search this area! Someone has sneaked in. I think the head of security should be fired."
Davon's face clouded over.
If Samuel hadn't been with Nicole when Nicole was taking the hot spring bath, who knew what would
have happened?
"Kim, ask Father if this hot spring is connected to the outside."
The natural hot spring was underground. Though the source was here in the mansion, the water
extended to the outside. Davon thought that no one would have the guts to do anything to the Sawyer
family. Moreover, there should have been some precautions here, so he didn't pay much attention to
the hot spring. If the one attacked Nicole didn't enter through the gate, then it was very likely that he
had sneaked in through the river outside.
Kim went to call Eason.
If Davon was correct, then the mansion would be dangerous.
Samuel couldn't wait for Eason's answer. He said in a low voice, "I'll go down and take a look."
"Samuel, it may be deep. Maybe we should wait for news from Mr. Sawyer."
Nicole was worried.
That person's hand was so cold that it had no temperature. Nicole intuitively felt as if she had been
grabbed by a ghost. Although she was an atheist, she was scared at that moment.
So, when she heard Samuel say that he wanted to go down, she shook her head.
Samuel touched her face and said gently, "I will be okay. Don't worry. Dry your hair in case you catch a
cold. Wait here for me to come back."
"But..."
"Trust me."
Samuel's gaze was so gentle and firm. For a moment, Nicole didn't know how she should stop him.
"Then be careful. I won't leave until you come back."
She was threatening Samuel with her own health.
Samuel smiled indulgently at Nicole's childish words.
"Deal."
Samuel looked at Davon and found that Davon was looking at him. His smile vanished.
"I need a diving suit."
"No problem."
Davon sent someone to bring the suit over.
"Maybe I should go down."
Davon could tell that Samuel loved Nicole very much. No one could shatter their relationship. So, even
if Davon felt uncomfortable because Phoenix liked Samuel, he had to think for Nicole now.
"I don't think so. I'll go take a look. Help me take good care of Nicole, will you?"
"Alright."
Samuel put on the diving suit and immediately jumped down.
Nicole looked at the surface of the water worriedly. She frowned.
Her hair was wet. Recalling Samuel's words, Davon whispered, "Bring me a hairdryer."
Someone immediately handed Davon a hairdryer.
He turned on the hairdryer and gently blew Nicole's hair. Nicole was somewhat shocked. She said
embarrassedly, "I'll do it myself."
"Let me. I know you're worried about him. The water is deep, but Samuel will be just fine. Trust him. If
you don't dry your hair now and unfortunately catch a cold, Samuel will blame me afterward. I've barely
slept since last night. Take it as a favor for me, please."
Nicole was a little embarrassed.
"Sorry. You are exhausted because I made you do that operation."
"Silly girl, what does it have to do with you?"
Davon turned up the corners of his lips as he gently dried Nicole's hair.
Phoenix had just woken up when she heard that something had happened to the hot spring. She
hurriedly asked Helen to help her get changed before rushing over to the hot spring. However, seeing
Davon gently blow-drying Nicole's hair, she frowned slightly.
"What are you doing?"
Phoenix deliberately raised her voice.
With so many people around, even if Davon was Nicole's brother, Nicole shouldn't ask him to dry her
hair. She was not a child anymore.
What if Mr. Green saw them? What would he feel?
Phoenix directly walked to them and said to Davon, "Give me the hairdryer. Do you know how to do it?
What if you hurt my sister-in-law?"
Phoenix's words were reasonable, but Davon frowned.
"Sister-in-law?"
"That's right, she's Mr. Green's wife. She's indeed my sister-in-law."
Phoenix snatched the hairdryer from Davon's hand while Davon was in a daze. Although she didn't
want to serve Nicole, she felt responsible for protecting Samuel's wife.
Davon did not refute her words.
He didn't help people dry hair very often.
Since Phoenix had taken over his work, Davon took a step back and said, "Don't call her sister-in-law."
"Why? What does it have to do with you?"
Phoenix was angry.
She learned from Helen that she had fainted. As far as she remembered, the reason why she fainted
had something to do with Davon. Phoenix was steamed up. She found Davon extremely unpleasing to
the eye.
Nicole really wanted to pull her hair back.
The fight between Phoenix and Davon could start at any time. Nicole was afraid that she might become
an innocent victim.
However, before Nicole could say anything, Davon said to Phoenix in a low voice, "I am Nicole's
brother. You are my girl. If you address Nicole as your sister-in-law, where does that leave me?"
Phoenix was enraged.
"Davon, shut up! Since when am I your girl? If you keep talking nonsense to me, I don't know what I will
do to you."
Davon calmly said, "Aren't you? Should I tell you where your birthmark is?"
Phoenix instantly blushed.
Only Helen knew about her birthmark. How did Davon figure that out?
Thinking of the two years of memories she had lost, Phoenix's face turned ugly.
There was too much to digest from what Davon said. He even knew about her most secret birthmark.
Did something really happen between them?
After all, that birthmark was on her butt.
Phoenix was in a mess. Her hand trembled, and a strand of Nicole's hair was sucked by the hairdryer.
"Ouch, it hurts."
Nicole almost cried out of pain.
She had had enough of Phoenix and Davon! How could they harm her when Samuel was not around?
Only then did Phoenix regain her senses. Seeing Nicole's hair in the hairdryer, she panicked.
"What should I do?"
Davon thought for a moment and then immediately pulled the plug off. He grabbed a scissor and cut off
the strand of Nicole's hair.
Nicole was finally freed. She quickly stood up and hid behind Phoenix and Davon. She looked at the
hair in the hairdryer and said gloomily, "I don't care whether you two want to quarrel or not, but can you
leave my hair alone? I'll tell Samuel that you two bullied me!"
Nicole felt sorry for her lost hair.
She had spent a lot for caring her hair. It never occurred to her that it was so easily cut off.
Phoenix hurriedly threw the hairdryer in her hand into Davon's arms and said, "It's none of my
business. It was Davon. Look, he has the hairdryer now. Besides, it was he who cut your hair with a
scissor. He is fully responsible for this."
Davon shook his head at Phoenix, who was being unreasonable. However, a trace of affection flashed
through his eyes.
Nicole had never seen Phoenix lie through her teeth. She was really astonished.
"Princess Inez, you are such a genius!"
After saying that, Nicole rubbed her head and whispered, "Well, you two can do whatever you want.
Please stay away from me. I don't want to dry my hair anymore. Thank you."
As she spoke, she took two steps back.
Phoenix was a little depressed.
"Nicole!"
"Stop. Stay there. Don't come over."
Nicole hurriedly stopped Phoenix.
They made the tension disappear.
Davon felt relieved when seeing Nicole and Phoenix getting along. He thought that Nicole might be
angry because Phoenix had feelings for Samuel, but now it seemed that this was not the case at all.
Or, did it mean that Nicole did not notice that Phoenix liked Samuel?
Davon's mind was running quickly, but he didn't say anything. He directly gave the hairdryer to Helen.
Phoenix winked at Helen. Helen immediately understood and quickly pulled out the hair from the
hairdryer, so that Samuel wouldn't notice when he came back.
Nicole looked at the calm water surface of the hot spring and asked in a low voice, "Davon, even if the
water is connected to the outside, the Sawyers must have thought of it. That's why they set up
defenses. How could that guy so easily sneak in?"
"I will find out about it. Before we know anything, you and Samuel should stay away from the hot
spring."
"I see."
Nicole was afraid of taking a hot spring bath because of what happened. Even if Davon didn't remind
her, she wouldn't come back.
"What exactly happened just now?" Phoenix asked.
She only knew that something had happened here, but she didn't know the details.
After Davon told her everything, Phoenix's eyes sank.
"Is this guy a pervert or what? He hid under the water and grabbed Nicole's feet. Was he peeping?
Nicole, is it likely that he had seen you naked?"
Nicole immediately felt extremely uncomfortable.
She had been too scared to think of this. Hearing Phoenix’s words, she recalled what happened just
now. Her face turned red with anger.
"I shall find him and dig out his eyes."
Heavens!
How could she know that there was another person down the water? She went to take the hot spring
bath naked because Samuel was her husband. Who would have known that there was someone else
hiding beneath the water?
Nicole didn't know whether it was a he or a she. If it was a he...
Nicole felt uncomfortable.
For God's sake!
That guy had seen her naked!
