"Zac! Zac!"
Samuel couldn't keep calm and his shouts were quavering.
"Mr. Green, what's wrong?"
Zac quickly ran up to Samuel.
"Where are they? Where did they go?"
Samuel's face was deathly pale.
He was like a ferocious ghost, making Zac tremble involuntarily.
"I don't know. They were here just now."
"What do you mean by saying that 'they were here just now'? Can persons evaporate in this room?"
Samuel's voice rose.
"Samuel, you're back!"
Nicole's voice suddenly sounded, which made Samuel and Zac confused.
"Nicole? Where are you?"
Samuel couldn't tell his feeling now, but he was relieved.
Nicole opened the bathroom door, only to see Samuel's anxious expression and Zac's frightened
expression. She couldn't help but ask.
"What's wrong with you?"
Seeing that Nicole was safe and sound, Samuel hurriedly grabbed her hand and asked, "What are you
doing in the bathroom? Where's Lucas? Where's Petty?"
"Lucas had a diarrhea today from whatever he ate. He pooped in his pants just now. He felt
embarrassed. Petty and I managed to persuade him to go into the bathroom. I was helping Lucas
bathe and Petty was washing his pants. What happened?"
Nicole did not quite understand why Samuel was so nervous.
Hearing what Nicole said, Samuel heaved a sigh of relief.
"Nothing. Maybe I'm too nervous. I thought you guys were gone."
"That's impossible! We are human and we are living here. How could we suddenly disappear? Look at
you. You've scared Zac. By the way, Zac, I've heard that you are gonna get married. Have you had
your wedding?"
Hearing this, Zac smiled and said, "We've got the marriage certificate, but we haven't even had a
wedding yet. Petty said that we didn't need it."
"You guys always don't take it seriously as long as women say that they don't need it. There is no
woman in this world who doesn't look forward to her wedding. They all want to marry their man in a
beautiful wedding dress. If she says she doesn't need a wedding, it means she just doesn't want you to
be extravagant. It never means that she really doesn't need it."
Zac was a little uneasy when hearing this.
"But we are both orphans, and we don't have any relatives. Even if we hold a wedding, there won't be
many people coming. At that time, it will look deserted."
"You still have me and Samuel! We are your relatives. Come on. Hold a wedding. You owe Petty this."
As Nicole said this, Zac naturally agreed.
Seeing how enthusiastic Nicole was, Samuel couldn't help but smile when he thought of their own
wedding.
"Well, is Lucas alright?"
"Not yet. I'm afraid he will be too embarrassed to come out, since you called him like that."
Nicole rolled her eyes at Samuel.
For Samuel, as long as Nicole was safe, it didn't matter how many time she rolled her eyes at him.
"I'll go take a look. Let Petty take care of you."
"I'm fine. Can you stop treating me like I'm old and sick?"
Nicole smiled faintly, but felt sweet inside.
She did not experience the warmth and love when she was pregnant five years ago, but now she did.
At this moment, she felt that she was the happiest woman in the world.
"Five years ago, I didn't take good care of you. Now, let me treat you as an 'old and sick' person. If
possible, I would rather be pregnant in place of you."
Samuel helped Nicole sit by the bed.
Seeing Samuel and Nicole like this, Zac didn't want to disturb them and left.
Looking at Samuel in front of her, Nicole could feel his uneasiness and trembling. She asked, "What
happened? Where did you and Uncle Mark go? Why was there only Lucas beside me when I woke up,
while other children were downstairs? Did anything happen while I was asleep?"
"No. Uncle Mark and I went out for a walk. Didn't we say that we wanted to set up a date for him? We
need to at least buy some fine clothes for him. I wanted to do this while you were asleep. But he was
so slow. I just came back."
Samuel was lying without blinking. He just didn't want Nicole to be scared.
Although the matter of express had been resolved, who knew what else would happen?
When Nicole heard what Samuel said, she laughed.
"Are you really going to get Uncle Mark a date? Is this allowed in their military?"
"Do you want him to be a bachelor for the rest of his life? It's time to for him to get married and settle
down at this age. I think his leaders will agree."
Samuel held Nicole's hand and felt much more reassured.
"Alright, we'll talk about Grandpa Mark's matter later. You go bring Lucas out. He's quite bashful. He will
probably die of shame this time."
When Nicole thought of that her son pooped in his pants, she felt it extremely funny.
She had always felt that Lucas was like an adult. He had always looked above his age. Now, she finally
felt that her son was only a four-year-old child.
Samuel also laughed.
"Why did he poop in the pants?"
"I don't know. There was something wrong with his stomach. I've asked Petty to give him some
medicine."
The more Nicole thought of Lucas, the more adorable she found him.
Seeing Nicole's smile, Samuel felt that he would be willing to do everything for her.
"Have a rest. I'll go bring him out."
"Don't force him. Lucas is stubborn. Talk to him."
"I know."
Samuel poured a cup of warm water for Nicole before entering the bathroom.
Petty was still comforting Lucas.
"Mr. Lucas, come out quickly. Otherwise, don't torture yourself like this."
Lucas sank himself into the bathtub and wouldn't come out no matter what Petty said.
So embarrassing!
Why did he poop in the pants?
How could he face others?
He was Lucas! His reputation had just been ruined!
When Samuel entered, he saw this scene.
Smiling, he walked over and signaled Petty to leave first.
Seeing Samuel enter, Petty smiled and walked out.
"I'll go check out on Mrs. Green."
"OK!"
After Petty walked out, Samuel squatted beside the bathtub and said, "I heard from Grandpa Mark that
your longest record is to hold your breath for one minute under the water. I don't know how long you've
been like this. If you suffocate to death, it'll be embarrassing if others know the truth. They will probably
say that 'Lucas was so strong that he even suffocated to death when he was practicing breath-holding'.
What do you think your friends in the army would say?"
Lucas stuck his head out of the water.
"I'm not practicing breath-holding!"
"Then what are you doing?"
Lucas blushed from this question.
"Go away! I don't want to see you!"
As he spoke, he was about to sink into the water again.
"Are you going to stay in this bathtub forever?" Samuel felt it funny.
"That's none of your business!"
Lucas said moodily. He was extremely depressed. It would remain an indelible stain on his life.
Samuel still smiled. "Your brother and sister don't know about your pooping-in the-pants thing yet.
There's only your mother, I, and Petty knowing about this. But if you drown in this bathtub, this secret
will be known by everyone!"
"Stop!"
Lucas hurriedly stretched out his little hand to cover Samuel's mouth. It looked like he was about to cry.
Seeing his son like this, Samuel wouldn't like to say some more.
"Just pooping in the pants. Come on! What are you afraid of? Everyone would poop in their pants."
"Who?"
Lucas was really about to cry.
Samuel smiled and said, "Me. I pooped in my pants as well when I was a kid."
"Really? Did you poop in your pants?"
Lucas’ eyes immediately lit up.
Samuel took the opportunity to carry Lucas out of the water and didn't care that it would wet his
clothes. Then he smiled. "Of course. Everyone would poop in his pants when he was little. A man who
hasn't pooped in his pants can never grow into a real man."
Hearing this, Lucas finally felt a little relieved.
"Samuel, are you lying to me?"
"When did I ever lie to you?"
Lucas thought for a moment. Samuel had indeed never lied to him.
He rested in Samuel's arms and whispered, "Can you keep the secret for me?"
"Of course. You're my son. It will also embarrass me if I tell others, right? Don't worry about this.
Mommy won't laugh at you."
"But Petty knows."
Lucas pouted and looked quite depressed.
"Then what should we do? How about we kill her?"
"Samuel!"
Lucas suddenly got excited!
Seeing his son's reaction, Samuel burst out laughing.
"Don't worry. Who can guarantee that Petty didn't wet her pants when she was a child? Besides, Petty
is married and will give birth to her babies. Treat your sister and brother well. Petty won't tell your
secret to others, right?"
"OK!"
Lucas hurriedly nodded, as if he had found a solution.
Samuel helped him with shower and change into clean clothes before they left the bathroom.
Seeing her son and husband laughing when they came out, Nicole heaved a sigh of relief.
"Wanna drink something?"
Nicole asked.
Lucas nodded and still felt embarrassed.
Nicole and Samuel dotingly touched Lucas’ head. They felt so warm and sweet at this moment.
When Mark returned, Samuel carried Lucas and went downstairs with Nicole.
Samuel felt relieved when he saw that Mark showed him an "OK" gesture.
Although Zedd was dead and they lost the clues, Samuel knew that Mark would follow this case. As
long as a Don is involved, Samuel could feel assured and go on with his own stuff.
The children ate with Nicole and Mark.
Nicole knew that these children would leave after dinner, so she couldn't help but feel a little sad.
Samuel hugged her shoulder and tried to comfort her.
When they were about to leave, Nicole still cried, making Samuel distressed.
If there were other solutions, he would never let his wife suffer from parting.
Samuel told himself that he must be strong enough to protect the people he wanted to protect.
After children left, Samuel said to Nicole, "Come on! Uncle Mark will take good care of them. They
won't suffer much. And we are going to have our plate full."
"What do you mean?"
Nicole's eyes were still moist as she asked in a choking voice.
Samuel pondered for a moment and whispered, "We need to go to the Miller's. Something happened to
Laurence."
Samuel felt relieved when he saw that Mark showed him an "OK" gesture.
