"Get ready. Let's go back to the Seapolis City."
Nicole said to the bodyguards beside her as soon as she left the room.
"Yes, Mrs. Green."
The bodyguards would do whatever Nicole told them. Samuel must have given the order in advance.
When Olivia finally caught up with Nicole, Nicole had arrived at the inpatient department. She was
paying the hospital bills and was about to be discharged.
"Hey, Nicole, it's not time yet for you to leave here. You can't go out like this. I'm going to find Dr.
Ashley."
Olivia knew that Nicole was determined to go. She hurriedly ran to Ashley's office.
"Dr. Ashley, hurry up and take a look. Nicole is going to be discharged from the hospital. Also, she's
going back to the Seapolis City. You know, she's not fully recovered. Things are all in a mess now.
What if anything happens to her if she goes back? If so, Samuel will literally skin me!"
Olivia talked non-stop.
Ashley was slightly surprised.
It was known in the city now that Samuel was involved in a murder case. Ashley was not expecting that
she could hide it from Nicole. However, it was indeed a little troublesome for Nicole to be discharged
from the hospital and go back to the Seapolis City now.
"I'll go take a look."
Ashley got up and walked towards the inpatient department.
Olivia followed behind.
Ashley had just taken two steps when her phone rang.
She lowered her head and found that it was Steven calling. She was a little surprised.
"What's the matter?"
Steven's voice was familiar as usual.
"Samuel is in trouble."
"I know. What is your plan?"
"Try your best to keep Nicole in the hospital and protect her. This is exactly what Samuel said."
Ashley slightly froze upon Steven's words, but she immediately understood his meaning.
"Are you saying that we should let the person who set this up get what he wants?"
"Not really, but it's complicated. Pedro died not long after Samuel entered the room. Moreover, the time
of his death was about the same as the time Samuel went there. Therefore, Samuel was suspicious
and should cooperate with the investigation. He would not be able to get out for some time now.
Samuel wanted to see what the next move of them. He was afraid that without him around, his enemy
would lay eyes on Nicole. Then it would be really troublesome. Samuel asked me to protect Nicole's
safety and I said yes. I want to keep my promise now."
Steven talked fast.
However, Ashley smiled and said, "I'm afraid you can't. Nicole has gone to the inpatient department to
pay the bill and is about to leave."
"Really? Why don't you stop her?"
"Why should I?"
Ashley said indifferently, and then kept walking.
Steven felt depressed every time he talked to his wife. Ashley was always so calm, so indifferent. He
could even be driven mad by her words.
"Ashley, you're a doctor, aren't you? Your patient is not recovered yet. How can you allow her to be
discharged?"
"I'm a reasonable doctor. I don't think Nicole can't be discharged, and I don't get to say what she should
do, or what she shouldn't."
Ashley hung up the phone, not caring about how angry Steven was.
This was the first time Olivia had seen how Ashley and Steven got along with each other. Normally,
Olivia was not a talkative person.
However, she noticed that Ashley had no intention of stopping Nicole. So, she asked Ashley a
question,
"Dr. Ashley, is it OK for Nicole to return to the Seapolis City? She's still injured."
"No, of course it's not OK. It's such a deep wound."
Hearing this, Olivia twitched her lips.
"Then why don't you stop her from leaving the hospital?"
"Will she listen to me?"
Ashley's words left Olivia speechless.
Samuel was in trouble now, and the person who was most worried about him was Nicole. How could
Nicole stay here and rest?
"But..."
"Nicole wants to go back. No one can stop her. Samuel has talked to my husband and asked him to
protect her safety. Don't worry, we can count on Steven. Since that's the case, Nicole can go wherever
she wants. She won't rest easy here anyway. On the contrary, it will be beneficial to her recovery if she
gets to do what she wants."
Olivia still felt that it was inappropriate for Nicole to be discharged.
"But her injuries..."
"At worst, I'll go with her. What else can I do? I'm such an unfortunate doctor."
Ashley said indifferently, but Olivia could hear a trace of excitement in her tone.
Really?
Was Ashley planning to follow Nicole back to the Seapolis City?
"Are you going to the Seapolis City as well?"
Ashley did not reply this time, but it was obvious that she was.
Olivia felt that both Ashley and Nicole had gone crazy.
Even if Nicole was CEO of the Eternal Group now, how could the sophisticated directors listen to her?
After all, Nicole was a woman.
Nicole was getting herself into trouble if she went back now.
But seeing that Ashley was in a hurry, Olivia had no choice but to follow.
Nicole was already paying the bill. When she saw Ashley coming over, she thought that Ashley was
here to stop her. She hurriedly said, "Ashley, I have something urgent, and I have to return to the
Seapolis City now. Please don't try to stop me."
"I'm not going to stop you. I'm just here to tell you that you can't go without me. You can go back to the
Seapolis City. Bring me with you, and buy me a ticket. I'm poor."
The Greatest Global Scalpel said she was poor. What a joke!
However, she still nodded.
"Sure, as long as you don't stop me, the ticket is on me."
"I'll go with you two then. I want to go back and visit Jacob and my father."
Hearing that Nicole would buy the ticket for Ashley, Olivia also joined them.
Nicole felt touched.
"Thank you."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Hurry up. Let's go."
Ashley was in a rush.
Nicole paid the hospital bills, then called Laurence. She asked him and Cara to stay here to take care
of the filmmaking company. Afterwards, she found Ernesto and talked to him.
Ernesto naturally listened to Nicole. When Nicole asked if she could go in and visit Samuel, he shook
his head.
"Mrs. Green, it's too complicated. We can't go in."
Nicole was not surprised to hear this answer, so she wasn't disappointed. She only whispered, "Book
three plane tickets for me. We're going back to the Seapolis City."
Ernesto hesitated.
"What's wrong? Do you have anything to say?"
Nicole looked at Ernesto and asked.
Ernesto hurriedly replied, "Obviously, Mr. Green was framed this time. It all happened so coincidentally,
and there must be other evidence. Mr. Green is not with you now. Although Mr. Bradford can guarantee
your safety, you must be careful. When you go back to the Seapolis City, the directors and
shareholders in the company will probably find trouble for you. Mr. Green may not be able to help you.
So, Mrs. Green, you should think it through carefully."
Ernesto was being cryptic.
However, Nicole naturally understood what he meant.
Everyone felt that Samuel had been protecting her. Now that something had happened to Samuel,
those people in the company might make things difficult for her. Maybe Ernesto was afraid that Nicole
would cry.
Nicole smiled.
She didn't know if she would cry, but she knew that she had to help Samuel this time.
As long as the Eternal Group still belonged to her and Samuel, and the Green family did not collapse, it
was possible to bail Samuel out. However, once there were bad eggs in the company, once the Green
family was under someone else's control, there would be nothing she could do then. In that case,
Samuel would only have to be left in prison. It was also very likely that he would never be able to get
out for the rest of his life.
Nicole knew that Samuel had always been protecting her. Now, it was her turn to do something for
Samuel. She left no choice for herself.
"We'll see when we go back."
Nicole did not say it by words, but she seemed determined.
Ernesto gave up in persuading her in the end. He went to book the plane tickets for them.
Ashley looked at Nicole and said calmly, "You can't do strenuous exercises with your wound. If
possible, try not to fight. Don't you have bodyguards? Just leave the fighting to them. Or, Steven and I
can also lend you a few men."
"No. You are strong enough to protect me."
Ashley was slightly astonished by Nicole's words.
"What are you talking about? I don't understand."
Nicole only smiled and didn't say anything else.
Nicole didn't know exactly how skilled Ashley was as a fighter, but she could see that Ashley was at
least as good as her.
It was only after marrying Samuel that Nicole could tell a practitioner from ordinary people.
Olivia was confused. She didn't know what they were talking about.
"What are you two talking about?"
"Go to sleep if you don't understand. Only if you rest well, you'll keep your beauty. Aren't you going to
enter the entertainment industry? It's better to take good care of your face," Ashley said.
Olivia twitched her lips again.
Ashley was simply so annoying.
Nicole only smiled. She was very worried about Samuel now.
The person who framed Samuel was also targeting at her. After all, she and Samuel were married.
They sank or swam together.
"Oh right, I haven't asked yet. Who is the agent who died?"
Olivia immediately froze for a moment upon this question. Then she smiled bitterly and said, "Guess!"
"Olivia, I'm not in the mood to guess now."
"It was Pedro, Zayn's assistant."
Nicole was startled.
Zayn?
Why Zayn again?
She couldn't help but have a headache.
"What did Zayn say?"
Olivia shook her head and said, "It's strange. Pedro is dead and the police have taken Samuel away,
but Zayn didn't show up. I heard that Zayn and Pedro were very close. Some people even said that
they were in love, you know. But now that Pedro has suddenly died, Zayn doesn't even make a sound.
We can't hear any news from him at all. Don't you think it strange? "
Nicole frowned slightly.
This did not sound like Zayn indeed.
It was normal for Zayn to make a fuss and even go to the detention center to beat Samuel up. But now,
he was simply too quiet. Nicole couldn't help but feel that he was up to something.
Could it be that Pedro's death was related to Zayn?
Wasn't Samuel framed by Major this time? Was it Zayn?
Nicole felt that her brain was about to stop working.
Ernesto had already bought the tickets.
Nicole and Ashley walked out of the hospital and drove Ashley's car to the airport. However, just as
they were about to arrive, someone driving a fiery red Ferrari immediately whistled towards
them.
