Nicole subconsciously glanced at her phone. It was actually Tim. He called her right on time.
She somewhat didn't know what to say, so she paused for a while before picking up the phone, but
Tim's cry suddenly came from the other end.
"Nicole, save me!"
After that, Tim hung up. When Nicole called back, the phone was off.
"What's up?"
Seeing that Nicole didn't look good, Gabrielle hurriedly asked.
"Something happened to Tim."
Nicole put on a serious look.
She didn't know what kind of place it was, but the people she cared about the most went there and
never returned.
"I have to go there."
Nicole was firm about it.
"No! You must not leave here. Nicole, don't force me to use tranquilizers on you."
Gabrielle was a little tough against Nicole's decision.
Nicole looked at her and whispered, "I'm sorry."
"What do you mean? Are you really planning to go? Let me tell you, Nicole, if you go, don't blame
me...."
Before Gabrielle could finish, she was knocked out by Nicole.
Nicole gently placed Gabrielle on the bed with a guilty look and whispered, "As long as I can save
them, it doesn't matter if I lose my life. Samuel is my husband. I must find him. Tim has done so much
for me. I can't ignore him when he is in danger. Gabrielle, you are a doctor and don't like patients who
don't listen to the doctor's advice. I'm really sorry. If I can come back alive this time, I will definitely
listen to you, rest in bed and never exhaust myself. But not now."
Nicole gently covered Gabrielle with the blanket. Then she got changed and got up to leave.
When Nicole walked to the living room, Joseph stood there and seemed to realize something. When he
saw Nicole, he was somewhat at a loss.
"Mommy, where are you going?"
"Where are you going?"
Nicole couldn't help but frown when she saw Joseph wearing an outfit.
"I go to find my master."
Hearing Joseph, Nicole frowned slightly.
"Master?"
"I heard it just now. Tim is my master. I promised him that I would take good care of you. At the very
least, I need to make sure that you will be well before he returns. Since you are going to save Uncle
Samuel and my master, I have to follow you."
Joseph looked at Nicole with a firm attitude.
Nicole was somewhat amused.
"You recognize Tim as your master? What does he teach you? How to pursue girls?"
"He knows a lot of things."
Joseph pouted and seemed to be unhappy that Nicole talked about Tim like that. On the contrary,
Nicole was a little happy.
Tim must be content with such a follower.
"Be good. Stop messing around. Your current task is to take good care of Zoe. Just leave other things
to Mommy, okay?"
"Mommy, if you don't let me follow you, I'll call Lucas and tell him that you go to save Samuel and Tim
when you're not well."
Joseph even threatened Nicole, which surprised Nicole.
"Joseph, are you threatening me?"
"Yes!"
Joseph did not conceal it at all, which was both funny and annoying.
"You saw what I did to Gabrielle just now. Don't stop me, otherwise..."
"Mommy, I've practiced martial arts."
Nicole had nothing to say in reply.
Nicole was not in good health now, so she might be defeated by Joseph. However, she was unable to
let Joseph take risks with her no matter what.
"Alright, you win. I'll take you there."
Nicole shook her head slightly with a look full of love.
Seeing that Nicole agreed, Joseph grinned.
"Mommy, let me help you with your bag."
"Alright."
Nicole handed the bag to Joseph. Joseph happily took it over and walked out. However, Nicole gave
him an injection in the neck and cold liquid went into his body after Joseph walked a few steps.
"Mommy!"
Joseph looked at Nicole in disbelief, as if he didn't expect Nicole to treat him like this.
Nicole whispered, "Be good. I just give you a tranquilizer. It's not harmful to you. It will only let you
sleep for a while. Mommy can handle it. Stay at home until Mommy comes back. Don't worry. Mommy
will definitely bring Uncle and your master back. When you wake up, remember to tell Gabrielle that
I've taken her tranquilizers. Have a nice dream, baby."
After that, she gently caught Joseph.
Joseph fell into Nicole's arms with reluctance.
When she wanted to carry Joseph into the room, she saw Zoe standing at the door, as if she had seen
everything.
Nicole was somewhat surprised and panicked. After all, apart from being a foodie, Zoe was a fragile
little girl. After being in hospital for four years, Nicole didn't want Zoe to know the seedy side.
Just as she was at a loss, Zoe spoke.
"I don't know what happened to you, but I seem to have heard you talking about Daddy just now. It's
been a long time since I saw him. Mommy, did something happen to Daddy?"
Nicole was incapable of answering Zoe's question. Nicole felt that she would hurt Zoe if she hid it from
Zoe.
Zoe was Samuel's daughter, so she has the right to know everything about Samuel, but Nicole found it
hard to explain.
"Zoe, I'm sorry I've been hiding it from you. But I'm really scared...."
"Mommy, you will bring Daddy back, right?"
Zoe did not ask about anything else. She just looked at Nicole with large watery eyes.
His eyes were filled with anticipation and hope.
Who would have the heart to dash her hope?
Nicole hurriedly nodded.
"Yes, I will definitely bring your daddy back."
"Mommy, be careful. Don't worry. Leave Joseph to me. I won't let him call Lucas. But you have to
promise me that you and Daddy will come back safely."
Nicole felt somewhat moved by Zoe's words.
Her daughter had grown up.
"Okay, I promise."
After Zoe got the answer she wanted, she turned around and opened the door. She whispered, "You
take Joseph in. I cannot do it on my own."
"Well done, Zoe."
Nicole smiled happily and took Joseph into the room.
Just as Nicole was about to leave, Zoe grabbed the hem of Nicole's clothes.
"What's the matter?"
Nicole thought that Zoe wanted to do something, but Zoe just looked at her without saying anything and
let go of her.
What Zoe had done stroked Nicole's heart and she felt very sad.
"Don't worry. Mommy will definitely be fine."
Nicole saw worry and reluctance in Zoe's eyes.
Zoe was a careless girl, but she suddenly became so depressed. Nicole was not used to it and felt very
uncomfortable.
Nicole had promised to let Zoe and Lucas live in a secure environment so that they could grow up
healthy and safe. However, they got into a lot of trouble now. She even didn't fulfill the promise to take
her children on a trip.
Zoe no longer asked when they were going to travel. Perhaps Zoe thought that her mother was
untrustworthy.
Nicole felt sad. She kissed Zoe's face and whispered, "Take good care of Joseph."
"OK."
Zoe nodded obediently, took out a drumstick from behind and handed it to Nicole.
"Give you my drumstick. You will have the strength to fight when you are full."
Nicole suddenly felt her eyes glistened with tears.
She hurriedly picked it up and smiled, "Alright, thank you."
"You're welcome. Come back as soon as possible!"
After saying that, Zoe turned around and went to the bedside. However, the moment Zoe turned
around, a pearly tear fell on the floor, tugging at Nicole's heart.
Only then did Nicole realize that Zoe knew everything but she didn't want others to see that she was
worried.
Zoe was so considerate and sensible, but Nicole felt sad about it.
Nicole was afraid that she would be reluctant to leave if she continued watching. Moreover, she didn't
know when Gabrielle would wake up.
Therefore, she took a deep breath and turned around to leave resolutely.
After walking out of the house, Nicole found that her face was wet. She seemed to have cried
unconsciously.
Her children and Samuel had always been her weaknesses. The other party had used her weakness to
upset her, so Nicole had no choice but to go. However, she did not know who was behind it or what his
purpose was.
Nicole left her house, and met Chuck outside.
"Mrs. Green, where are you going? I'll go with you."
Nicole stopped for a moment after hearing that. She was not in good condition now. She thought that
she would be able to hold on for a bit longer if she went there with Chuck.
"Alright, I'm leaving now, can you go with me?"
"I don't have any ties, and Finn has arranged me to stay here temporarily. So, I can."
Nicole felt relieved after hearing that.
They went to the garage and went out on a car. Nicole sat behind while Chuck was driving the car.
When they arrived at the entrance, the guard asked for a pass, and Nicole hurriedly handed it over.
Fortunately, she had asked Gabrielle for a pass. Otherwise, she might not be able to go out today.
The guard looked at it and let them go.
They went out by car.
Nicole did not know the route that Samuel took, so she could only get some clues from the police after
the club was shut down.
Chuck followed Nicole's instructions and soon drove out of the Seapolis City.
After leaving the Seapolis City, the scenery on the road was somewhat desolate.
Nicole couldn't help but feel sad when she thought about how anxious Samuel was when he was
tracking someone.
The scenery outside was getting more and more desolate, but it looked somewhat blurry to Nicole.
Nicole shook her head quickly and suddenly realized that something was wrong.
How could she suddenly be so sleepy?
"Chuck, stop!"
Nicole hurriedly said. Unfortunately, Chuck did not listen to her. Instead, he drove the car very fast.
Nicole saw a strange smile on Chuck's face from the rear-view mirror. She wanted to stop the car, but it
was too late.
