“Ah!”
Viola was caught off guard by Zoe, so she subconsciously raised her hand to slap her.
“No! Zoe!”
Nicole reacted quickly as she hugged Zoe while Viola waved her hand to Zoe.
Therefore, in the end, Viola slapped Nicole in the face. And it was so clear and resounding.
Both of them were stunned.
Viola did not know that she would actually do it, and so coincidentally slapped Nicole in the face. As for
Nicole, she was simply
shocked.
The Greens’ bodyguards and the security guards of the sanatorium saw this and had a nervous
confrontation with each other.
“I didn't mean to”
Viola’s palm got numb. Obviously, that slap was really heavy.
But Nicole just looked at her and whispered, “Can I take a look at your phone again?”
This sentence made Viola speechless. All her anger had now turned into helplessness.
“Come on, girl. Why do you think of me as a kidnapper? You can't suspect me just because I'm
disfigured, right?”
“I just want to take a look at your phone”
Nicole was very persistent.
Now, Zoe could tell that it was her mother who had been pestering Viola.
She gently tugged at Nicole's sleeve and whispered, “Mommy, why do you have to look at her phone?”
Nicole was unable to answer Zoe's question, and Viola obviously wanted to know the reason too.
However, because she had
slapped Nicole earlier, she was a little depressed and handed over her phone.
“Hey, just to remind you: you can see everything on it, but you can't do anything”
After saying that, she gave her phone to Nicole as if it was very precious.
Nicole took it over and started browsing the phone quickly, especially the photos. She really wanted to
find some clues from the phone. And she also wanted to find some photos of her parents.
Unfortunately, there was nothing.
Nicole flipped through the photos. And suddenly one photo caught her attention.
There was a woman sitting in the sunshine in that photo. She looked melancholy, which made people
feel pity for her.
However, this was not something that surprised Nicole. What surprised her was that this woman looked
very similar to the woman in the photo she took from Xander's painting garden.
“Who is this woman?”
Nicole asked.
Viola glanced at the photo and said, “My mother!”
“Your mother?”
“Yes!"
Viola nodded and said proudly, "My mom is pretty, right? She was gorgeous when she was young. And
she's just a little old
now. Do you know my mother?”
Nicole didn’t know how to answer this question.
Do I know her?
In fact, Nicole knew nothing about this woman.
But to be honest, this woman was so much like her in the past. So, Nicole always felt that there should
be a connection
between that woman and her. But now she could not find anything in common.
Nicole shook her head and returned the phone to Viola.
Whether it was because Viola had hided it too well or because she had misunderstood Viola, Viola's
phone was very clean anyway. There was nothing suspicious yn it,
“Sorry, I was reckless just now"
Nicole apologized.
Now Viola was a little embarrassed.
“My attitude wasn't good either. But what happened to you? Did your parents get kidnapped here? I
can ask my guys to
investigate for you.”
Hearing Viola's words, Nicole wanted to refuse at first. But then, she thought of a realistic problem.
If she was being watched and her phone was being monitored, then she could not do anything.
Perhaps, Viola could test for
her.
“Where are you going?”
Nicole asked.
Viola shrugged and said, “I look so terrible now. Where can I go? I heard that there is a famous beauty
master in the United
States who can treat burns. I want to Jive it a try. However, my father didn’t agree, so I sneaked out.
Who would have thought that you would stop me as a kidnapper?”
After saying that, Viola was very depressed.
Nicole remembered her past.
Five years ago, she was burned much worse than Viola.
Although Viola's face looked terrible, Nicole thought that she could recover when she took a closer
look.
“How did your face get burned?”
Because she knew the pain of being burned by the fire, Nicole felt a bit more sympathy and
indescribable feeling towards
Viola.
Viola sighed and said, “I did an experiment, but I didn’t do it well. It exploded and burned my face”
“What do you do?”
“What can I do? My father is the director of the sanatorium, and my mother is a doctor. What else can I
do? Just studying
medicine. And I like to do chemical experiments. But I didn't expect to make myself miserable”
After saying this, Viola sighed.
Nicole took out a pen and paper, and wrote Viola an address and a telephone number. She whispered,
“This is the beauty master’s address and telephone number. Tell her that Catherine introduced you to
her. She will help you.’
“Wow! You actually know Charlotte Harrison!”
Viola looked very excited and put away the note with great care.
“Thank you, gorgeous.”
Viola’s happiness was obvious. She even rubbed Zoe's head and smiled, “Also, thank you, little
princess. Call me if you need
anything. Don't worry, I will help you investigate your affairs.”
Viola left her phone number to Nicole and left happily.
Nicole was a little disappointed, but she didn't show it.
The Greens’ bodyguards and the security guards of the sanatorium saw that they got along well, so
they hurriedly went out.
Zoe looked curiously in the direction where Viola left, and she asked softly, “Mommy, what happened to
that aunt's face? Will she recover?”
“Yes, Charlotte is very good at it”
Nicole rubbed Zoe's head and temporarily put down those suspicions.
She carried Zoe back and asked, “Why did you come here? Where's Grandma and Joseph? Why did
you come out alone?”
Zoe pouted and said, “Joseph is avoiding me. Grandma said that she wanted to sleep for a while, so I
ran out when I was bored”
Nicole looked at Zoe's blushing face. She knew that Joseph must have been frightened by her request
for a kiss, so he
avoided her. As for Laurel, she was weak, and her body was not in a good condition. So, it was normal
that she couldn't take care of Zoe.
And now, Zoe was much better than when she first came here. But Nicole was still very worried.
What if the person in the dark took Zoe as his next target?
“Honey, you want to sleep with Mommy tonight?”
“Yes!"
Zoe was very happy.
She put her arms around Nicole's neck and returned to her room with Nicole.
Upon returning to the room, Nicole felt uncomfortable. It was as if countless pairs of eyes were
watching her from all
directions.
Zoe sensed that Nicole was in a bad mood. She gently tugged at Nicole's sleeve and asked, “Mommy,
what's wrong? Don't
you want to sleep with me?”
“No! Mommy just doesn't like this room now. Why don’t we change to another room? How about your
ward?”
“OK!”
Zoe did not have any problems with it. As long as she could be with Nicole, she would like it wherever
she went.
Nicole brought some of her things and then left with Zoe in her arms.
When the phone rang again, they were in Zoe's room.
Just as Nicole put Zoe down and was about to take her to a shower, she received a text message from
that person again.
“Do you think I won't be able to see you if you change rooms?”
Nicole became more and more uneasy. However, she didn’t show it. She threw her phone onto the
bed. But then, she felt that
it was still unsafe. So, she turned off the phone and even took out the battery. At last, she let the
bodyguard take it back to his room. Only then did she feel relieved.
Zoe looked at Nicole with curiosity and asked, “Mommy, what are you playing with?”
“Nothing. My phone is too noisy. I'm afraid that it will disturb you when you're asleep. Tonight, Mommy
has to accompany you all the time”
“Yeah!”
Zoe was extremely happy about it.
They went to the bathroom. Nicole helped Zoe take a bath. Looking at the pinholes on Zoe's body,
Nicole felt very upset.
Zoe didn’t have to endure all of this. It was all because of her that Allen did those to her baby girl Zoe.
How should she tell Zoe about these things?
Nicole was somewhat depressed.
“Mommy, are you thinking about Daddy? Where did Daddy go? He won't come back tonight?”
Zoe's series of questions made Nicole regain her senses soon.
“Daddy has something to do recently. So, we're the only ones left here these few days. What? Are you
unhappy”
“No, but I miss Daddy too”
Zoe's words made Nicole feel somewhat jealous.
“Hey, Mommy has accompanied you for five years. How many days have you known your daddy? And
you like him so much.
You don't like Mommy anymore?”
Zoe hurriedly hugged Nicole's neck and said coquettishly, “I like Mommy. I like Mommy and Daddy, but
now I just miss Daddy
so, so much.’
There was nothing wrong with what Zoe said.
Nicole felt that Zoe was getting better at speaking sweet words now. It seemed that words came out of
her mouth were
wrapped with honey.
“That's my honey! Shall we have a video with Daddy later? If Daddy is not busy”
Nicole scratched her daughter's nose and asked dotingly.
“OK!"
Zoe liked the idea very much.
After they played with water for a while, Nicole wrapped Zoe in a towel and carried her out of the
bathroom. However, when
she came out, she found Joseph who was sneaking in.
“Joseph?”
Nicole called Joseph, making him very embarrassed.
He said, “Mommy!”
“Joseph! Hug me!”
Zoe stretched out her arms and was about to go towards Joseph. Seeing this, Joseph hurriedly
stepped back.
“You, you, you! Put on your clothes”
There was nothing he could do. Joseph had some serious problems with Zoe now.
Ever since Zoe saw Samuel kissing Nicole, she would kiss Joseph now and then. And Joseph was so
surprised by her action
that his heart was beating irregularly.
Now that he saw Zoe naked and wanted to pounce on him, he was so shocked that he almost ran
away.
