"What's going on?"
Nicole instantly became nervous.
Tim immediately asked people to protect Martha. He took a look at the emergency room which was lit
and said in a low voice, "Nicole, you leave with my mom first."
"No! I won't go. No matter what happens, I'll stay here until I solve the matter between Maia and you."
Tim was a little helpless with Martha's stubbornness.
"Mom, I have told you let me deal with it on my own, haven’t I? Please!"
"OK. I'll leave it to you, but you have to promise me that you will never marry her. Apart from that, we
can offer her any compensation and assistance. Tim, you can't ruin your life because of such a
woman."
Martha showed her hardline stance against their relationship.
Finding Martha's legs a little shaking to support her, Nicole couldn't help but say to Tim, "Tim, your
mom's foot is seriously injured."
Tim immediately felt sorry for his mom.
"Mom, don't push me anymore, please! I know what to do."
"Promise me, or I won't leave!"
Martha was pretty firm about getting an answer.
The screams outside grew louder and louder.
Micah quickly ran out to make a check and rushed back soon.
"Mrs. Green, someone is going to jump out. The police have been called and should be here soon. A
crowd of correspondents are probably heading here too. We'd better get out quickly or I'm afraid that
we will get into unnecessary trouble."
Nicole was very satisfied with Micah's work efficiency. She looked at Tim and urged, "Say something! If
the media find Auntie and take pictures, then they will definitely make up something considering her
social status."
Tim run his eyes from Nicole to Martha and finally said, "Okay, I promise. Alright?"
"Remember what you said. Tim, don't lie to me. If you dare to break your promise, or give that woman
any commitment, I will be hit by a car as soon as I go out!"
"Mom, what nonsense are you talking about? Stop saying such a thing."
Tim put on a worried expression.
Nicole was also a little scared by those words.
"Auntie, you can't say such nonsense anymore."
However, Martha stubbornly gazed at Tim and continued, "Remember your promise. If you deceive me,
I will end up like this."
"Mom, I won't. Forever! Is it okay?"
Tim had no choice but to compromise.
Martha had his assurance and then agreed to leave with Nicole.
Nicole said to Tim, "After you're done, come to my home and I have something to tell you."
"Alright."
Tim looked at Nicole with a complicated expression.
"Please take good care of my mom."
"Don't worry. She is my aunt."
Nicole stretched her hands and helped Martha limp out of the emergency room.
Micah escorted Nicole and Martha out of the hospital, but when they headed to their car, they
encountered a crowd of reporters. Thanks to Micah's smartness, they escaped successfully.
After getting in the car, Martha seemed to feel a little sick.
Nicole put her foot on her lap and gently rubbed it.
"Auntie, I'm sorry."
"Don't say that. I know you told Tim because you trusted him. But Nicole, you know sometimes as a
mother, I have to guide him, especially when it comes to his marriage. I don't want my son to get hurt."
Martha revealed a sad expression.
"I know. Auntie, I am also a mother. When Lucas grows up, maybe I will also worry about if he makes
the correct choice like you did. However, I still think that we are outsiders to Tim and Maia. They really
need to solve their problems on their own."
This time, Martha did not refute Nicole.
"Nicole, I'm a little tired. I want to have a rest. Call me when we arrive."
It was obvious that Martha did not want to talk about this topic.
Nicole didn't want to annoy Martha, so she nodded and stopped talking.
The car quickly arrived at the Green's.
Nicole had someone carry Martha out. Then she sent for a family doctor to re-examine Martha's injured
foot.
The doctor put medicine on it and left.
During the whole process, Martha did not wake up at all.
Looking at Martha's fatigue expression, Nicole couldn't bear to disturb her. But she felt a little worried
when she thought of the conversation between Bella and Cornell.
Then she called Gabrielle.
Gabrielle came over very soon.
Nicole told her all that she had heard.
Gabrielle got some blood of Martha while she was sleeping.
"Nicole, this test may take a day so I'll give you the result tomorrow."
Gabrielle put the blood sample away.
Nicole said hurriedly, "It's fine. I can wait. I just want to know whether my aunt has been poisoned or
not."
"Okay. I will give you the result as soon as possible."
Then Gabrielle left.
Nicole turned to Micah and said, "Now go to the sanatorium and bring my aunt's special care nurse to a
safe place. You must ensure her safety."
"Yes."
Micah also left.
For them, the Green's was a safe place.
After everything was done, Nicole recalled that she had been living in the Don's recently. She had been
out for a long time and made no call home. It seemed she couldn't return back at noon either.
So, she called Mark.
"Uncle Mark, I have something to do today so I won’t go back at noon. You guys just have lunch on
time. Please help me take care of the children today."
"Okay. Don't worry. Where are you now? Is there anything wrong?"
Mark really didn't want to be a nagging uncle or a control freak, but sometimes he couldn't help asking
her.
Fortunately, Nicole understood his concern.
She said, smiling, "I'm at the Green's and I'll deal with something with Samuel today, so I can't go back
at noon."
"I see. You have been drawing these past few days. I'm also afraid you'll tire yourself out. Have fun and
don't worry about the kids. Let me know in advance if you guys come back for dinner."
"I see. Uncle Mark, I got to go."
Nicole finished her words and hung up the phone.
Her lips curled.
Although Mark was a bit nagging, which was different from Jason, Nicole still liked him very much.
She thought that the feeling of being cared about and nagged, especially by her own family members,
was really good.
She couldn't help thinking of Audrey.
She had no news of Audrey these days.
Then Nicole called Audrey, but unfortunately her phone was still off.
Nicole was somewhat uneasy.
Could something wrong really happen to Audrey?
Nicole felt worried in her heart. After thinking for a while, she dialed Finn although she didn't want to
contact with him really.
Upon receiving Nicole's call, Finn was very excited.
"Mrs. Green, what can I do for you?"
"I want you to find a person."
Nicole's voice was somewhat indifferent, but Finn did not care at all. He was satisfied as long as Nicole
needed him.
"Who?"
"I have lost touch with my mother these days. I want you to help me find out if something happened to
her by using the power of Night Elf Empire."
Noticing Nicole's politeness in her words, Finn was very upset.
"Mrs. Green, Night Elf Empire is yours. You have the right to make any order as you want. If you think
I'm an eyesore, I'll just leave. You can arrange someone who you trust to take over it. I'm okay with it."
Nicole shook her head and answered, "You've been taking charge of it for so many years. I won't take it
back. You can keep it."
"Mrs. Green, I know that you still refuse to forgive me. I also know what I've done wrong. However,
Night Elf Empire belongs to the Green family, not mine. If you really don't like me, I'll leave. I just hope
that you can get the best protection and care."
"Finn, it's like a crack in a mirror. Even if it's glued together, the crack is still there and the mirror can't
be restored to the same as before. It doesn't matter whether I forgive you or not. What matters is that
we can't go back."
What Nicole said was a huge blow to Finn.
"Why? Why can't we go back? Mr. Green and you had so many misunderstandings and you even once
thought that he wanted to burn you to death. But you still forgave him. I just chose the wrong side
before. Can't you forgive me for the rest of my life? Mrs. Green, it's unfair to me!"
Listening to Finn's words, Nicole felt speechless.
"Finn, there is only one Samuel in this world and I only love him, so I can forgive him for any mistakes
as long as he doesn’t cross my line. Do you understand what I mean?"
Finn was shocked.
"You mean you forgave him because of love. Then you can't forgive me because you don't love me at
all, right?"
"You can think what you want. I'm asking for your help. If you can't help me, I'll ask someone else."
Nicole was about to hang up when Finn stopped her.
"I will. No matter what happened, you are my Ma'am. I will serve you whether you forgive me or not!
From the day you became my Ma'am, you are my god. After this matter is done, I will leave Night Elf
Empire and hand it over to you."
After completing his sentences, Finn hung up the phone.
Hearing the drone of a dial tone, Nicole felt a brief sadness.
In the past, she sincerely wanted to make friends with Finn, but unfortunately, he did not cherish it.
It was really bad to be betrayed by your friend. She had experienced once time and wanted no more.
Nicole threw the whole thing out of her mind and then remembered that she hadn't called Samuel yet.
Did he find Zedd? Was he safe?
Thinking of this, Nicole took out her phone. Just as she was about to send a message to Samuel, she
found a message that she hadn't notice.
When she saw the message, her face changed.
