Nicole was shocked, but Joseph didn’t understand.
"Mommy, what is morphine?"
He asked quietly, but his mouth was shut by Nicole. However, she was shivering.
She couldn't face the truth!
The doctor obviously understood Samuel's mood. He didn't blame him for his attitude, but said
helplessly, "Mr. Green, I knew you are suffering and in pain, but now Miss Bush is very uncomfortable.
Let's think about how to calm her down. Her physical condition is not suitable for operation at all and it
takes time for her to recover. I'm really at a loss in this situation.”
"You're a doctor, and you're telling me there's nothing you could do? She is only a four-year-old child.
Her great life has not begun yet! Now you tell me that you couldn't do anything about it?”
Samuel collapsed completely.
His voice was sharp and cold. The doctor couldn't hold the bitter cold atmosphere.
"Mr. Green, I'm just a doctor. I could check Miss Bush's condition and formulate a scheme according to
her condition. But now I need you family members to make a sign!"
*Sign what? My daughter is only four years old! Do you want me to sign up that you could use
morphine on her? That's my daughter! My own daughter!”
Samuel's eyes were scarlet and even wetter.
Nicole couldn't bear it anymore and pushed the door of the office.
“I don't agree!"
Her voice was not loud, but two men in the office were both stunned.
“Nicole? Why are you here?"
Samuel was a little astonished.
Joseph felt that he had done something wrong. He hid behind Nicole, looking at Samuel timidly and
said, "I brought Mommy here.”
The sound of “Mummy” made Samuel dazed for a moment, and then he was a little relieved. However,
he loosened the doctor and come to the front of Nicole.
“Are you all right?”
"What's the matter with Zoe? You should make it clear to me. "
She was staring at him, with tears filling her eyes.
Samuel knew that she must have heard something.
“Nicole, I'll take care of all these."
Samuel didn't want to upset Nicole. Over the years, Nicole's feelings towards Allen were very
complicated. Although Samuel was jealous, he still suppressed his jealousy compared with his love to
Nicole.
With tearful eyes, Nicole also knew Samuel's kind intentions, but the more so, the more she was eager
to know the truth.
"Tell me, please. I am Zoe's mother. I have the right to know, no matter what the reason is. I want to
know.”
Nicole's body was shivering, but the expression in her eyes was very firm.
This weak woman. At this moment, nobody could refuse her.
Samuel sighed and told Nicole about the situation.
Although there had been speculation for a long time, Nicole still cried when she really heard what
Samuel saying.
She cried with great depression.
She always regarded Allen as her benefactor for the past five years, but didn't expect that the fact was
so painful.
How could he do that?
Nicole would never complain if he had been indifferent to Zoe and Lucas at first. However, he gave her
all the illusions to convince her that Zoe was born like this, but in fact he tried to accelerate Zoe's
death.
Such things couldn't be tolerated by any mother.
Nicole almost fainted. Fortunately, Samuel had prepared and held her on.
Even at this time, the weak woman still did not cry heavily, but the patient tears burned Samuel's eyes.
“Let me deal with it, ok?”
Samuel asked heartily.
Nicole finally nodded.
She thought she was really stupid.
Once for Allen, she even begged Samuel not to embarrass Allen and let him go because of his life-
saving grace and five-year care. And the Brook Family also asked the Green Family for a lot, Samuel
all agree, but did not expect the truth will be like that.
Nicole was very miserable.
Seeing that she was not in a good mood, Samuel intended to send her back to her room, but was
refused.
“Doctor, how's my daughter now?”
This was Nicole's biggest headache.
The situation had reached this point, whether Zoe could survive or not couldn't be guaranteed even the
doctor couldn't promise.
The doctor took a look at Samuel. Seeing that Samuel did not stop him, he whispered, “Our hospital
intended to temporarily relieve pain for Zoe.’
"With morphine?"
Nicole did not complain or blame, but calmly asked the question.
Faced with Nicole's clear eyes, the doctor suddenly did not know how to answer.
As a doctor, it was very difficult to make such a decision, but the situation was too special to make a
decision at will.
Looking at the doctor's evasive eyes, Nicole recalled Samuel's anger when overhearing outside the
door, and understood everything.
She took a deep breath and whispered, "I don't agree!”
"Nicole, but Zoe...’
"I said I don't agree!"
Nicole looked at Samuel firmly and said in a hoarse voice, "Zoe is a strong girl. I know her better than
you. Just because I didn't take care of her when she was born rendered her seriously ill. I didn't know
anything before, but now I have known it, I couldn't stand that my daughter would become into a drug
addict. Even for the sake of cure! I'm going to see Zoe! Now!”
Nicole knew that Zoe may be frightened by her appearance, but she had to see Zoe.
The poor child, who had been suffering from illness for five years, didn't expect to be harmed like this.
And how could she, the guardian of Zoe, escape the responsibility of her own?
Depending on Nicole's resolute attitude, Samuel said in a low voice, "OK, I'll accompany you."
“No, I'll talk to Zoe alone.”
Nicole didn't know how she walked out of the hospital.
Samuel wanted to hold her on, but she refused.
The blow was too huge to her.
When she knew that Lucas was missing, she thought it was the doomsday, but now she found that
there was something worse.
She was a mother. She couldn't fall. If she did, what should her daughter do?
Mother was strong.
Even if she walked on the edge of the knife at every step, Nicole would not allow herself to fall down.
The Zoe's ward was informed by Samuel, and she walked towards step by step.
When the door was opened, Nicole was stunned by the scene in the ward.
"Grandma, did the big black bear really hurt Euan in the end?”
Zoe looked at Laurel Green with an inquisitive face.
Laurel Green touched Zoe's hair kindly and said, “Of course not.”
"Why?"
“Because Euan had a strong mother.”
Nicole shook slightly when hearing Laurel Green's words.
After five years of marriage, she only saw Laurel Green at the wedding ceremony, and the next day
Laurel Green flew abroad.
For this mother-in-law, Nicole didn't know if Laurel Green liked her, but in the past days, Laurel Green
never appeared or embarrassed her.
Now she was still so kind in front of the Zoe. Nicole was stunned for a moment.
Zoe's back was facing the door. She didn't notice Nicole coming, still asking curiously, "Wasn't Euan’s
mother afraid of the big black bear?”
“Of course. But his mother couldn't escape."
"Why?"
"Because there was Euan behind her. In the world, the baby was the best gift given by the God, and
mommy will take care of her baby with all her life. However, if Euan’s mother was alone, then she
would run away. But at that time, Euan was behind her. So if she ran away, the big black bear would
attack her son. Compared with Euan and her own life, mummy thought Euan was more important. So,
mommy would not escape.”
Laurel's words dawned on Zoe.
“I've learned that my mummy was also working hard and was very strong. And my brother, they are all
for me. When I recover and grow up, I will protect my mother and brother.”
Laurel looked at Zoe comfortingly and said, "Zoe is really kind. So, are you still feeling painful now?"
“No more pain!”
Zoe's face was covered with sweat, and her face was even more pale and terrible. She said it was no
longer pain, but her little hand held the sheet tightly. Nicole was deeply distressed.
She coughed and immediately attracted the attention of two people in the room.
"Mommy!"
Zoe was very surprised when seeing Nicole. She even wanted to get out of bed, but was stopped by
Laurel Green.
"You are here.’
Laurel Green's kind face reminded Nicole of her mother for the first time.
"Thank you, mom.”
The words made the Laurel Green's moist.
"Oh, nothing. Zoe is my granddaughter. It's all I should do. Just talking to Zoe, and I'll buy some food
for her.’
Laurel Green quickly stood up and sighed as she passed by Nicole. She said in a voice that only two
people could hear, "Zoe is still young. Don't tell her too many things. Your presence is an
encouragement for her. Nicole, in the past time, I ignored you. I'm sorry. From now on, I will treat you
as my own daughter. Take good care of yourself. You and Zoe are the future of the Green family. If you
have problem, Samuel and the Green Family will be over. Please.”
After saying, she patted Nicole’s shoulder, and then staggered out.
Nicole found that Laurel was really old.
Hadn't seen for five years, she had already had white hairs on her head.
And for this moment, she was just a mother.
Before coming, Nicole thought out a lot of words to say and even wanted to tell Zoe everything. But
now after hearing Laurel Green's words and seeing Zoe's happy and expectant eyes, she suddenly felt
stuck in her throat.
