"Who?"
Nicole wanted to get up but was controlled by someone.
"Mrs. Green, it's me!"
The voice was somewhat familiar to Nicole and surprised her for a moment.
"Chuck?"
"Yes, it's me."
Chuck let go of Nicole.
"Why are you here?"
Nicole was a little astonished.
The military compound was not an ordinary place. Ordinary people would not be able to enter here.
Even Vincent had to come in with the permission of the guard. Why did Chuck come in so easily?
Chuck whispered, "You saved me. Finn sent me here and said that Vincent couldn't find me here.
Today, I saw you arrive here and remembered your specific location. Now, I'm here to find you."
Hearing Chuck, Nicole finally understood.
"Did Finn arrange it for you?"
"Yes."
"What else did he say?"
Nicole's question confused Chuck.
"No, he just let me stay here. However, I'm in a hurry, since I really have something to tell you."
If it was before, Nicole would not believe him, but Nicole wanted to know what he wanted to say after
experiencing so much.
"What exactly is Mr. Bates?"
Nicole asked.
Seeing that Nicole wanted to know, Chuck hurriedly said, "Mr. Bates is a director of Eternal Group, and
he is also Mr. Green's friend. They've shared weal and woe. I don't know what Mr. Green has let Mr.
Bates keep. Mr. Green said that if something happens to Eternal Group one day, Mr. Bates will take
charge. However, Vincent came to the company and asked Mr. Bates for it. Mr. Bates did not give it to
Vincent, so they argued. Later, Mr. Bates got into trouble. Seeing that things weren't going well, he hid
somewhere. Mr. Bates only told me to look for Mr. Green and tell him about this. However, Vincent's
men watched me so closely that I couldn't find an opportunity. Vincent knew that I was looking for you,
so he deliberately brought you out and let me contact you easily. Since I was too anxious then, I didn't
realize that it was a trap for us. I even got you in trouble. Otherwise, Vincent wouldn't have done
something to you so soon."
"What is so important? Vincent doesn't hesitate to offend his family to get it?"
Nicole couldn't figure it out.
Chuck was even more confused.
"I don't know either. My task is to find you, tell you about this thing and ask you to contact Mr. Green as
soon as possible, so that Mr. Green can think of a way. Mr. Bates doesn't dare to show up now. He
feels depressed."
Chuck's words confused Nicole a bit, and she was also a little worried.
"To be honest, I don't know where Samuel is now. He went out a few days ago and suddenly lost
contact with me. I'm very anxious. I don't know how he is doing."
As Nicole spoke, her expression became gloomy.
Chuck said nervously, "Then what should we do? Mr. Bates is still waiting for Mr. Green. He won't be
able to hold on long. Vincent is not an ordinary person. He plays dirty tricks. Mr. Bates’ family may have
been controlled by him. If Vincent threatens Mr. Bates with his family, Mr. Bates will have to make a
tough choice."
"Where is Mr. Bates?"
Nicole thought of an idea.
Regardless of what it was, since Vincent tried his utmost to obtain it, it was definitely extraordinary.
Samuel gave such an important thing to Mr. Bates. It could be seen that they had a deep friendship.
Samuel had lost contact with her. She couldn't bear to let something bad happen to Mr. Bates and his
family.
Chuck seemed to have understood what Nicole meant and whispered, "You want to see Mr. Bates?"
"Yes, Mr. Bates gets involved because he has important stuff. Since Samuel gave Mr. Bates the thing
that brought trouble on Mr. Bates, I should take it back now. No matter what, let Vincent come at me."
Nicole had thought about it. Since Vincent really wanted to fight with them, she would not show any
mercy
Without Samuel, she could decide many things.
"I will take you to see Mr. Bates, but I wonder if Vincent's men will chase us when we leave here. Mrs.
Green, where is Finn? If he is here, maybe we can give it a try."
"Finn?"
Nicole couldn't help but think of the injury on her shoulder.
Finn was chosen by Laurel Green. He had worked for the Green family for many years. He could be
considered loyal to her. Why did he suddenly turn into a different person and even shoot her?
Nicole couldn't figure it out.
"Finn is not here. He went to look for Samuel and I lost contact with him. I don't know what happened.
I'm confused about many things now."
Nicole really hoped that she could see and hear things from very far away, so she didn't have to guess
without a clue and wait. It was indeed very troublesome.
Chuck was slightly surprised.
"How could this be?"
"I don't know."
Nicole shook her head and sighed softly.
"If we're going to see Mr. Bates, we really need to make a plan. You go back first. I'll contact you after I
think of what to do next. You only need to assist me."
Chuck heaved a sigh of relief when he heard what Nicole said.
"Alright, Mrs. Green, I'll leave first. This thing is very important. Don't tell anyone else unless it's
necessary. I won't come to see you during the day because I'm afraid that others will see and make
guesses. If there's anything, just call me or send me a message on Twitter. My phone number and
Twitter account are on it. Here you are."
Chuck gave his phone number to Nicole.
Nicole nodded and memorized it.
After Chuck left, Nicole frowned tightly.
If she could, she really wanted to go there and see what Samuel and Finn had experienced. Why did
Finn turn to a different person? What would happen to Samuel?
Could Samuel also change into another person?
When she thought of this, Nicole was very worried. She couldn't wait any longer.
She lifted the blanket and got out of bed, only to see Gabrielle walk in from outside.
"Where are you going?"
"I want to go out."
Nicole was about to change her clothes but was stopped by Gabrielle.
"Nicole, do you really wish to die?"
"Gabrielle, I have something very important to do now, so I need to go out. Don't worry. I will take good
care of myself."
"If you had taken good care of yourself, you would not have been in poor health. Nicole, I know what
you're thinking. Do you want to go find Samuel and Finn? You've been hurt by Finn today, so you want
to know why he becomes like this. You also want to know what happened to Samuel, so you have to go
out, right?"
Nicole did not know how to reply to Gabrielle, so she simply turned her head away.
"Why don't you talk? Am I right? After Tim told me that you were injured by Finn, I knew that you could
not let go of it. Today, no matter who comes, you have to stay here obediently and take good care of
yourself. Otherwise, don't blame me for injecting you with a tranquilizer! You are so weak. If you go find
Samuel, I'm afraid you'll kick the bucket on the way."
Gabrielle said in an even colder voice.
"But I really have something urgent to do."
"It cannot be more urgent to take good care of yourself. You may be very optimistic, but let me tell you,
if you dare to leave here, I will call Lucas and tell him everything. I will see if you can stop your son."
Nicole was startled by Gabrielle's words. She frowned, put on a pitiful look and stared at Gabrielle.
"Don't look at me like that. It's useless. Anyway, the earth can move without anyone. Everything is
going on without you. Don't think too highly of yourself. Perhaps without you, Samuel would be a little
more relaxed. He knows that you are waiting for him at home and that he has children. He will definitely
do his best to rush back. All you have to do is stay at home and wait for him. Don't let him go to your
funeral when he comes back."
"Don't curse me like that, as if I would die at any time."
Nicole was a little depressed.
"Yes, you may die at any minute. How do you feel about your blood loss today? Tell me yourself."
Hearing Gabrielle's question, Nicole was surprised to discover that she didn't lose much blood today.
Previously, Nicole thought that it was because of Gabrielle's treatment, but she realized how serious it
was when Gabrielle asked.
"What exactly is my current condition?"
"What condition? You are anemic. Now you've been injured. You don't have blood to lose. Don't you
feel dizzy when you stand up? Nicole, I'm not scaring you. Maybe you'll faint on the road before you
walk out of the entrance, not to mention looking for Samuel. You're a total wreck now."
Gabrielle didn't want to be so straightforward, but it seemed that Nicole wouldn't give up until she made
it clear.
Hearing Gabrielle, Nicole frowned even harder.
"I can only wait here and do nothing?"
Gabrielle looked at Nicole who was depressed and whispered, "I hide something from you. Actually,
Tim went to find Samuel for you."
"What?"
Nicole was surprised.
Gabrielle said somewhat embarrassedly, "You are so weak right now. Tim knows that you are worried
about Samuel and have driven away when you were unconscious. So you just stay here and rest
assured. Just wait for his news. Tim is much stronger than you in all aspects, so it's much better that
Tim goes to find Samuel."
"Why didn't you stop him? I owe him too much. It's none of his business."
Nicole was a little worried, but she knew that it was useless to say anything now.
Just then, Nicole's phone rang.
