When Jacob saw Nicole continuously knocking on the table, as if she was thinking about something,
Jacob felt a little worried. Nicole's current manner was similar to Samuel's.
"Mrs. Green, don't think too much. Mr. Green may be busy right now. He will definitely call you back
when he is done."
"I see!"
Nicole replied nonchalantly. Everyone could tell that she replied with characteristic insouciance.
Jacob wanted to continue speaking, but Olivia stopped him. She signaled for Jacob to leave.
When only Olivia and Nicole were left in the room, Olivia whispered, "Nicole, what are you thinking?
Although I don't like Samuel, he has been considerate towards you during this period of time. I believe
that he is not that kind of person. He is wiser than to overstep the mark because of that college student.
Perhaps he has been kept by something. Don't think too much about it."
Considering Nicole's reaction, Olivia was worried.
Nicole was in poor health. Gabrielle said that she couldn't worry too much. If Nicole was deeply
concerned about this trifle, Olivia was afraid that it was not good for Nicole's recovery.
"I'm fine. I also believe that Samuel is not that kind of person. In the past five years, he could have
dated any woman. Moreover, in his position, as long as he wants, countless women are willing to have
sex with him. However, he hasn't had any affairs in the last five years. So, I don't believe he will
abandon his family for that college student."
Hearing it, Olivia finally heaved a sigh of relief.
"It's great that you think so. Samuel must have gone abroad for business. Don't dwell on it."
"Samuel is not in abroad, or he has gone abroad but not for the company. He hides something from
me!"
Nicole was certain.
She was not a fool. Samuel's current behavior was too strange. Moreover, even Vincent could not
contact Samuel, which meant Samuel was deliberately avoiding these people.
Why did Samuel deliberately do so?
It didn't make sense.
Nicole couldn't figure this out.
Gabrielle came back.
"What's wrong? Why is it so quiet all of a sudden?"
The moment Gabrielle entered the room, she realized that the atmosphere was not right.
Olivia was about to answer, but Nicole spoke first.
"It's alright. Olivia is heartless. She is angry with me for I scold Jacob."
Olivia couldn't believe what she heard.
She had been used as a lightening-rod again.
She didn't deserve this.
Olivia looked reproachfully at Nicole, but Nicole didn't care.
When Gabrielle heard this, she couldn't help but laugh. "Nicole, you shouldn't have done it. Right now,
Olivia and Jacob are in love. If you blame Jacob in front of Olivia, Olivia will definitely be angry. God.
You have run out the drip. Why don't you turn it off?"
Gabrielle suddenly realized that Nicole had run out of the drip.
Olivia turned pale in fright.
"I keep talking and don't check the drip. Sorry, are you alright?"
Olivia blamed herself.
However, Nicole indifferently pulled out the needle, so blood oozed out of the back of her hand.
"Are you crazy? What are you doing?"
Olivia hurriedly covered the back of Nicole's hand with a cotton swab.
However, Nicole said indifferently, "It's fine. I feel much better now."
Gabrielle couldn't help but frown.
"Nicole, you can't do this. You are not in good health. You suffer great blood loss, so you need to have
another intravenous drop to stop the bleeding and reduce the inflammation. Even if you're angry with
Olivia, you should take care of yourself, right?"
"That's right. Don't do it again."
Olivia was furious, and her eyes were a little red.
Nicole couldn't help but sigh, "I really feel much better."
"I'm your doctor. Lie down. I'll put you on another drip. You must listen to me."
Gabrielle was somewhat stern now.
Nicole had no choice but to lie on the bed.
Gabrielle sterilized Nicole's hand and stuck the needle into Nicole's hand. Soon afterwards, Nicole was
put on a drip again.
Nicole looked at Gabrielle and suddenly asked, "Gabrielle, you are the director of the Military Hospital.
You must be very busy, right?"
"Not much. For fear that I will be too tired, Blair does many things for me, including operates on my
behalf. I'm at leisure. To be honest, it's just a title. In the past two years, the hospital has been under
the management of Blair. What's wrong?"
Gabrielle asked with a faint smile.
Nicole laughed and said, "Blair really loves you."
"All men love his wife. Doesn't Samuel love you? I heard from Blair that he would do anything for you."
"Do you know that Blair went to the Crown Club with Samuel not long ago?"
Hearing it, Gabrielle was slightly surprised.
"I have no idea. But I know that they often meet at the Crown Club. What? Blair went there again. I'll
talk to him later. Recently, he hasn't felt quite well, so he can't drink. He must have gone to the club for
a drink or two. Blair is so annoying. He causes trouble for me when I don't notice him," Gabrielle said
calmly.
...
Nicole couldn't get any clue from Gabrielle's expression.
Either Gabrielle was a good actor, or she really didn't know.
Nicole didn't ask anymore. She smiled, "I'm a little tired. I want to take a rest."
"Just sleep. I'm here. Feel free to call me if you need anything."
Gabrielle did not say anything else.
As Olivia listened to the conversation between Gabrielle and Nicole, she suddenly felt that she couldn't
fit into their circle.
Obviously, Nicole suspected that Gabrielle knew something. If Olivia were Nicole, she would put it on
the table. However, both Nicole and Gabrielle were beating around the bush. Olivia was tired of the
way how Nicole and Gabrielle dealt with each other.
"I'm going to see Jacob. He has been harshly criticized by Nicole. No matter what, I have to comfort
him."
Olivia made an excuse and went out.
When she saw Jacob, Jacob asked worriedly, "What happened today?"
"What's wrong with Samuel? I think he's weird. He didn't call Nicole but me. I already told him that
Nicole was sick, but he refused to come back immediately. Jacob, tell me honestly, don't you know
where Samuel is?"
"I really don't know!"
Jacob almost raised his hand to swear.
"Samuel has been mysterious this time. I knew that he had an appointment with Blair after he went to
the Crown Club. Afterwards, both of them left. Samuel told me that he wanted to go abroad and asked
me to handle everything at home. He didn't say anything else. I suggested that I should go abroad on
behalf of him, but he said that he must do it himself."
Jacob recalled what Samuel had said to him and then continued, "Besides, I heard Blair's voice.
Samuel should be with him."
"In other words, Blair knows where Samuel is, right?"
Olivia grasped the main point in time.
Jacob looked at her and asked uneasily, "What do you want?"
"Nicole is quite sick now. Although Gabrielle doesn't speak it out, I can tell that Gabrielle is very
nervous. I don't know what's wrong with Nicole's body. She looks so weak. It wrings my heart. No
matter where Samuel is now, I will find him and bring him back to Nicole."
Jacob hesitated.
"Even if you go to visit Blair, he will not tell you Samuel's whereabouts."
"Then what should I do?"
"I'll have a try."
Jacob couldn't help but sigh when he saw Olivia's anxious and worried expression.
"Can you get the information about Samuel's whereabouts from Blair?"
"Not necessarily. But I'll find out something. Just stay here and keep Nicole company. Try your best to
see what goes wrong with Nicole's body. Samuel is so concerned about Nicole that he will definitely
come back early."
After Jacob finished, Olivia nodded.
"Alright, be careful. If you have any news, you must tell me. I know that you and Samuel are close, but I
can't just stand aside and let Nicole be sad. If Samuel does anything wrong to Nicole, I will definitely
not let him off."
"I see. Samuel won't. Don't worry."
Jacob admired Olivia, who was willing to do anything for her friend. There was a gentle light in his
eyes. Noticing it, Olivia quickly calmed herself down and gave a little cough. "I need to go inside."
"Alright. I'll bring you your favorite walnut crisp when I come back."
Hearing it, Olivia blushed.
"Stop ... talking nonsense. Hurry up and go."
Then Olivia hurriedly walked towards Nicole's room with a smile.
Seeing her reaction, Jacob beamed and went out directly.
When Nicole woke up, Gabrielle had already removed the drips. Nicole felt much better, and she
stopped bleeding profusely.
"Thank you, Gabrielle."
"You are welcome. These are anti-inflammatory pills. Take them three times a day. I'll come to see you
tomorrow. Have a good rest and don't walk too much. Do you know?"
Gabrielle instructed carefully, and Nicole nodded in agreement.
Olivia walked Gabrielle outside the door and whispered, "Gabrielle, is there something wrong with
Nicole's body? Is it really just the sequela of a miscarriage?"
"Yes, Nicole is too weak, and she suffers a bacterial infection, causing a large amount of blood loss.
Don't worry. She'll be fine if she has a good rest."
Hearing Gabrielle's explanation, Olivia felt more or less at ease.
"That's good. Thank you."
"You are welcome. Remember to let her take the medicine."
"Alright!"
Olivia said goodbye to Gabrielle. Ms. Bush kept asking Gabrielle to stay for dinner, but Gabrielle did not
agree.
After Gabrielle left, Olivia was about to return. Jacob hurriedly rushed over.
"Bad news. Something has happened to the Green family!"
