“Who is it?”
Nicole quickly turned around but could only see the shadow of someone leaving.
Samuel frowned slightly. He made a gesture, and one of his men immediately chased after the shadow.
“Did someone follow you back from the battlefield?”
Nicole was a little worried.
Samuel stroked her hair and said in a low voice, “Don't worry about me. Are you okay?”
“I'm okay. I have the formula for antidote and have also given it to Jacob, but I need a quarantine of
fourteen days just in case. It's a responsibility for myself and my fellow people.”
Nicole was aware of her physical condition. It was okay if she got the symptoms of infection at the
battlefield hospital. However, her fellow people might not think so, so she had to be cautious.
“Theoretically speaking, no problem with that. Although the Closes died, some might just want to fish
over the troubled water, so we can't be careless. I'll have Fill manage all the people here later. Nobody
is allowed to go out of the place within fourteen days.”
Samuel's face grew grave.
Nicole did not think of anything else but just felt that it was a bit inhumane.
“There's no need to force them. Everyone could understand the purpose of the quarantine and would
cooperate with us. Today is the second day of quarantine. I see that everyone's mood is still okay.”
“Two days and fourteen days are not the same. Nicole, sometimes human nature can't stand the
scrutiny of time.”
It seemed like there was a long story from Samuel's eyes.
Nicole suddenly felt that Samuel was so strange like this.
Did something happen to Samuel when Nicole did not know and made Samuel had a deep
understanding of human nature?
Nicole pondered within but did not continue to think about it, and she got up from the bed.
“I'll go get you something to eat. The situation here is special now. We're short of men, and there's no
one to serve you. The supplies must be saved. So I'll make you a bowl of noodles with gravy.”
“I'll make it myself. You must have had a very hard time.”
For Samuel, there was nothing more reassuring to him than holding Nicole.
Nicole smiled indifferently and said, “No, let me serve you once in a while, huh?”
Her last note was with a bit trembling as if a feather with a trace of temperature lightly touched
Samuel's heart and made him felt tickling.
“Alright, don't work too hard. You could cook a bowl of instant noodles as well.”
Samuel could not bear to see Nicole suffer like this.
Nicole said with a smile, “You're Commander Samuel and also a rich president. Eat instant noodles?
Nobody will believe it if it gets out.”
“It doesn't matter. As long as I stay with you, eating chaff and wild herbs would also be delicious.”
“Stop it. You're getting slicker now. I really don't know who you learn it from.”
Nicole rolled her eyes at him, then got dressed and got out of bed, and went to the kitchen outside.
Samuel did not lie down on the bed but hastily sent a message to Fill when Nicole left.
“Check the backgrounds of the people here. I saw a shadow from my room just now. I don't know what
it was.”
Fill frowned slightly.
There were always so many reckless people who wanted to seek death, and they were really annoying.
He then had his men to check it out.
When Fill thought about Nicole’s sister, who was at home, he frowned slightly.
He did not know how the woman was at this time. Would she worry about him as Nicole worried about
Samuel?
She might do so.
He heard that the woman was pregnant.
The two had long had sex, but he did not know if the woman lost her mind and she said he was her
sister’s husband and she did not want to marry him.
Would a man have sex with his wife’s sister?
What was in her mind?
Fill knew that he still had the shadow of his former lover in his heart, but he was not treating the woman
as a substitute. However, she did not believe him no matter what he said.
If it was an enemy, Fill could solve it quickly. However, he was exhausted with matters of his feelings.
How about asking Nicole for advice later?
As Fill thought of it, he took his phone to send a message to the woman.
“I'm having a quarantine of half a month. Be good and stay at home. If I go home and find out you dare
to escape, I'll break your legs and take care of you for a lifetime. Try if you don't believe it.”
After sending the words, he felt relieved all over.
This woman, he had to treat her like this.
After Nicole went to the kitchen, she saw only a few tomatoes left. When she thought of Samuel's tired
appearance, she handily rolled the dough and quickly made a few bowls of noodles.
Fill, who walked into the kitchen following the aroma, was a little hungry.
“Nicole, can I have a bowl of noodles? Just one bowl!”
His look instantly made Nicole laugh.
“I'll send a bowl over to Samuel, and you can share the rest with your men.”
“Thank you, Nicole.”
Fill was really hungry.
Although he was not starving at the overseas battlefield, he had been eating biscuits all these days,
and he had begun to doubt the meaning of his life.
People who had eaten ship biscuits knew that it was to relief the hunger only. It was hard and
unpalatable, and it tasted like tree bark. He was starving for a bowl of noodles with gravy now.
Nicole did not know what they had been through on the battlefield. She carried the bowl of noodles to
the room and saw Samuel leaned against the bed already asleep.
She knew from the dark circles under his eyes that it was not easy for them these days.
Everyone said Samuel won the battle comfortably, but Nicole knew that when he sneaked into the
presidential palace and negotiated with the president, he had to bear with great pressure both mentally
and physically. Now that he could finally relax himself for a bit, he felt even more tired than in the past
few days.
She gently walked over and tucked him in.
In the past, Samuel would definitely wake up immediately, but he was sleeping deeply now.
Nicole looked at the noodles aside and hesitated to wake him up. When she saw Samuel's tired look,
she thought for a while and decided not to wake him up.
The noodles would be cold if left for a long time, and it would not be tasty anymore.
Nicole thought about it and took the bowl of noodles and gave it to another person. She wanted to wait
until Samuel woke up and then cook another bowl of noodles.
The inspection work outside was still going on.
Nicole knew that they did not have enough people, so she walked over and participated in the
inspection work.
Samuel had slept for a long time.
Nicole did not want to disturb him, so she did not go back to the room. Nicole thought that Samuel
would go to her if he woke up, so she stayed busy.
The sun had gone down, and her work had come to an end. Nicole just realized that Samuel did not
come out of the room.
Samuel had slept too much.
Did he not rest during the time of going out?
As she thought of it, it hurt Nicole to the core.
She returned to the room, and the room was a little dark. She could barely saw the man lying in the
bed. He looked as same as when she left.
Nicole walked over to the bed, and she found that Samuel was red in the face, and his breathing was a
bit quick, but he still seemed to be asleep.
Something was wrong!
