Samuel was afraid that he would wake Nicole up, so he asked Audrey to take care of her and quickly
left the ward with his mobile phone.
In the corridor, Samuel answered the phone.
"Samuel, is there anything wrong with my mommy?"
Lucas’ voice came over the phone, carrying a trace of questioning and worry.
Samuel wanted to hide it from Lucas, but he heard him say, "You can't lie to me just because I'm
young. I saw my uncle take Zama away with his men just now. Her limps seemed to be broken. I heard
you did it. You don't usually do that unless that old witch did something to my mommy, do you? Where's
my mommy now? I called her. Why couldn't I get through?"
Lucas threw out a series of questions, which were difficult for Samuel to answer.
Was it fortunate or unfortunate to have such a smart son?
Samuel thought for a while and said, "Your mother did have an accident. She is currently recovering in
the hospital. It's best that you don't come over these few days."
"No! I want to go to see her! I'll ask my grandparents to go with me!"
Lucas’ words scared Samuel.
"Lucas, don't tell your grandparents."
"Why?"
After all, Lucas was a child. There were some things he didn't understand.
Samuel rubbed his temples and said, "Your mommy is in a bad condition. She needs to rest. If your
grandparents come, they will be sad to see her like this. When they cry, your mommy will also cry. Your
mommy can't shed tears at this time, or she'll hurt her eyes, you know? So, it's better to tell your
grandparents about it when your mother gets better."
"What happened to Mommy? How could it be so serious?"
Lucas immediately became worried. He cried and insisted on coming to the hospital.
Samuel felt a headache.
If that brat came, he didn't know what would happen.
"Lucas, listen to me. Your mommy has got me here. Can I have mommy make a video call to you later?
You really can't come over right now, and I need your help with something."
Samuel had no choice but to say this.
Lucas frowned slightly.
"What is it?"
"It's Zoe. Because I can't let Zoe know about your mother, I sent her to rest elsewhere. You know, she's
in recovery now. If she finds out that mommy is not well, she'll be worried. Your mother and I have just
decided that when she recovers, we will take you two on a trip. You're the big brother. Do you want to
help mommy to take care of your sister?"
What Samuel said was too much for Lucas to take in at once.
"But Mommy...."
"Your mommy has me. Besides, we'd like to have some private time together. Daddy's begging you,
okay?"
Facing this little demon, Samuel had no choice.
Lucas bit his lower lip and said, "When can I see Mommy? You have to promise me that Mommy will
definitely be fine."
"She'll absolutely be fine. I give you my word."
"Alright, I trust you for now."
Lucas said reluctantly.
"Where is my sister Zoe? Send me the address. I'll ask my grandparents to go with me later. I'm
guessing Zoe will be very happy."
"Alright, I'll leave you to take care of your grandparents and sister."
Samuel finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Lucas said proudly, "You're welcome. Just remember to give me some money later. Mommy's birthday
is coming soon. Can I see Mommy then?"
Samuel calculated that Nicole's birthday was still more than twenty days away. Although it hadn't been
a month from her miscarriage, she would be somewhat better than now.
Moreover, there were some things that could not be concealed for a month. At that time, both Mrs. Don
and Nicole's parents would know about it.
Thinking of this, Samuel nodded and said, "Alright, then. Mommy will show up safe and sound."
"Samuel, take good care of Mommy. Otherwise, I won't let you off later."
Lucas told him seriously like an adult.
"Alright, I promise I won't let your mommy lose a hair, okay?"
"That's more like it. I'm hanging up!"
After Lucas hung up the phone, Samuel felt that he was about to collapse.
In the past, he wouldn't be so nervous even if he signed contracts of cooperation projects worth
hundreds of millions. But now that his son made him panic like this. He really wanted to laugh.
Samuel quickly muted his phone when he thought about how the voice on the phone had almost
disturbed Nicole.
When he returned to the ward again, Audrey had already packed up everything. Even Nicole's dirty
clothes had been changed. She intended to take them back to wash them.
Samuel whispered, "I'll do it."
"You're a man. Taking care of a woman at a time like this is not easy. Let me do these things as a
mother. I'll try my best not to let Mrs. Don find out what has happened to Nicole. You'll have to pay
more attention to it."
"It's fine. She's my wife. I'm the one who are supposed to look after her, right? Don't worry. I don't have
other business to attend to. The company is handed over to my younger brother so that I have enough
time to accompany her and take care of her."
Audrey felt relieved after hearing what he said.
"Women are easy to get emotional these days. Some of them are even depressed. When you chat, talk
about happy things. Don't let her keep thinking about that unlucky child. I know that you are also sad,
but a man can bear this kind of sorrow, a woman may not. I know it's unfair to say that, but she's my
daughter, I can only pay more attention to her."
When Audrey looked at Samuel and Nicole again, her eyes were filled with tears.
As a mother, seeing her daughter like this, who wouldn't be heartbroken?
She was just trying to hold back her tears.
After returning to Mrs. Don's place, she didn't dare to reveal the slightest bit of sorrow.
"Don't worry. I'll take good care of her. How's Mrs. Don?" Samuel nodded in agreement.
"The antidote has been used. She is awake. However, she needs to rehabilitate later. After all, she had
a stroke, and the toxins in her body will not be cleared in a short period of time. When she opened her
eyes, she looked for Nicole. I told her that Nicole had gone abroad because of an emergency and
would be back about twenty days later. I asked her to cooperate with the doctor so that she would be in
good condition when she saw Nicole again. Fortunately, the matriarch believed me. So, I will come over
to deliver the food during this period of time, but I can't stay long. Otherwise, she will be suspicious."
Audrey whispered.
They were in the same hospital, so it was very possible for them to meet each other.
But now, both Nicole and the matriarch needed to rest.
Samuel understood.
Laurel was not feeling well either. So, she couldn't take care of Nicole. He thought for a while and said,
"Why don't you tell me what kind of diet she needs now? I'll cook it."
"You? You know how to cook?"
Audrey obviously didn't believe it.
Samuel nodded and said, "I do know how to cook. Everyone has his hands full now, so I'll take care of
Nicole myself. You don't have to worry about it anymore. I'm here."
Audrey was still a little doubtful, but she did not say anything. She told Samuel the things that needed
to be paid attention to. As for diet, he needed to prepare something light and nutritious.
Samuel wrote it down bit by bit, and then learnt it by heart seriously.
Seeing Samuel acting like this, Audrey finally felt relieved.
"I'm leaving now. The matriarch can't be left alone for a long time."
"Alright! I'll see you off!"
Samuel had a trace of respect for Audrey and sent her out of the ward.
Jason had left during this time, and Samuel didn't care. The most important person to him now was
Nicole. As for the others, he didn't pay much attention.
After sending Audrey away, Samuel began to study the recipe.
When Nicole woke up, it was already a little dark. Samuel was still reading the recipe, which made
Nicole somewhat curious.
"What are you reading?"
"You're awake? Do you want some water?"
Samuel hurriedly put down his phone.
"Alright."
Nicole also felt a little thirsty.
Samuel poured her a cup of warm water and handed it over.
"I want to drink something cold. I feel hot in my chest. I really want to cool down."
Nicole asked willfully.
However, Samuel shook her head and said, "I've already seen it on the cell phone. You can't eat
anything cold in your condition. You are a mother. Don't tell me you don't know. Don't be willful. After
this month, I'll let you eat whatever you want."
Hearing this, Nicole was a little discouraged. She asked curiously, "When I was asleep, are you reading
about this?"
"Yes. I asked the nurse. She told me to download an app called Mother's Help on my phone. It has
everything in it. So, I check it out when I'm free."
Nicole felt what he said somewhat funny.
"The president of the Eternal Group reads articles about babies on Mother's Help. Aren't you afraid that
others will find out and laugh at you?"
"Who will laugh at me? Every man will become a father and husband, won't he? If I don't know these
things, how can I look after you?"
"Are you really going to take care of me yourself?"
Nicole always thought that he was joking, but she never thought that Samuel would be so serious.
"When did I ever joke about you?"
Samuel smiled and said. Then he helped Nicole sit up for a while.
"By the way, how's grandma's and your mother's antidote?"
Nicole suddenly remembered.
However, Samuel whispered, "There are people to take care of them. The matriarch has Minister
Shaw, and my mother has Vincent. You don't need to worry. You are in this condition. Just mind
yourself."
"Then Lucas and Zoe..."
"I've already made arrangements. They won't come for a short period of time. I'm also hiding it from the
Bush family, so you have to recover as soon as possible. Otherwise, when they find out later, I'm afraid
it would be too much for you, seeing them shed tears."
Hearing this, Nicole immediately felt droopy.
"Actually, I heard that a week's rest is enough for my condition. When the time comes, I...."
"Don't even think about it. I won't let you out of bed until you're done for a month."
Samuel said firmly. Nicole was unable to disagree for now.
At this moment, a familiar female voice suddenly came from outside. Nicole frowned.
