"Grandpa, you make me feel I am an idiot!"
Nicole pouted her lips like a kid.
Edwin laughed.
"You really are not smart. Otherwise, you won't get injured so many times. Look! You have gotten into
the hospital several times since you came back. It is the hospital, not your home! I don't care the cost,
but I care about your health."
Seeing that Edwin was about to preach, Nicole said, "Grandpa, I think Lillian is suspicious."
"Lillian? Petty's mother? The one you saved from Elvis'?"
"Yes!"
Nicole nodded.
Edwin sneered, "Elvis abused her for years, but she got out of the hell alive. She is an unusual woman.
Nobody would let her stay except you. She is different from Petty. Petty grew up with Samuel since she
was a little girl, so she is kind. She was just used by other sometimes. As for her mother, she may not
be a good person."
Nicole didn't understand, "Why?"
"I think she is smart. Or she would have been killed. To Una, Lillian was a great threat. I am a man too.
If I were Elvis, I would not let Lillian live, even if she was pregnant. But Lillian gave birth to the child
right under Elvis’ nose and lived in the place where Una lived for years. She even waited for you to
save her. Do you really think that it was just a coincidence or a miracle?"
Nicole immediately understood.
She never thought of that before.
"But what is she going to do?"
"She wants to get rid of you and Samuel for Petty."
Nicole was stunned at the moment.
"Don't you understand?"
Edwin looked at Nicole and sighed, "You still don't understand? Petty is a member of the Green family.
If the fact wasn't revealed, then she is just an orphan, so she wouldn't be a threat to you and Samuel.
But now everyone knows Petty is the daughter of the Green family. Elvis dreamed about taking back
everything of the Green family. Then Petty came back home. She has the right to inherit the wealth.
Yet, I'm not saying that Petty has this intention to compete with Samuel, but Lillian will. That's the
motive. "
Nicole really hadn't thought about it before.
She and Samuel managed to take everything in place. Now the Green family was getting better. Lillian
was saved by her. It was why Nicole thought that Lillian would be grateful to her. It was Nicole that let
her be with her daughter again.
She never thought that it would be so complicated. Nor did she expect that Lillian would have the evil
thoughts after getting rid of the adversity.
"Grandpa, this is all your guess. There is no evidence."
Nicole tried to deny it. However, in fact, she had already accepted what Edwin had said.
Edwin shook his head, "Well, I know you won't admit it. But, now that you found her suspicious, you
have to find ways to protect yourself. Beware of her! Understand?"
"I see. I'm not a fool. I just don't like these tricks."
Edwin looked at Nicole and touched her head. "If you want a simple life, you should marry another
man. People only see the brilliant side of the wealthy family, but they don't know it is really dirty under
the gorgeous surface. I feel sorry for you!"
"Grandpa, I just marry someone I love."
"Stop the romantic things. You stay here with me in case Lillian would hurt you. Before you recover, I
won't let you get out of here."
Nicole immediately felt unhappy.
"Grandpa, I can't. I came back to handle lots of things. If I'm here, I can't prove Lillian is the betrayer.
Well, I know you're worried about me. I'll be safe and sound, I promise."
Nicole almost thought of swearing to God.
Although Edwin didn't believe what she said, he stopped insisting.
"If anything happens to you again, I'll punish you."
Edwin said fiercely, but Nicole smiled.
Suddenly, her phone rang.
Finding that it was a strange number, she was stunned.
"Who is it?"
Edwin glanced at her.
Nicole shook her head and tapped the answer button.
"Hello?"
"Excuse me, is that Ms. Nicole?"
He said formally.
"This is Nicole. Who is that?"
As soon as Nicole asked, the other side responded.
"Ms. Nicole, this is from the detention center. Mr. Bush had a sudden myocardial infarction and we sent
him to the Central Hospital. We can't reach Mrs. Bush now, so we got your number from Mr. Bush. Can
you go to the hospital? We need the signature of the family."
Nicole was stunned for a moment.
Mr. Bush got a myocardial infarction.
Why couldn't they reach Mrs. Bush?
Her eyebrows furrowed.
"I'm in the Seapolis City now. I'm afraid I can't go there."
"Ms. Nicole, this is the detention center of the Seapolis City. Mr. Bush was transferred here from City B
yesterday afternoon."
Nicole felt it was weird.
Braden was involved in a plagiarism. The artists who accused him of it came from different areas.
Braden had been captured in City B at that time. According to the legal procedures, he should be
transferred to the detention center of his residential city. But Braden had no residence here now, so
there was no reason to transfer him here unless he requested it.
But why did he come here?
The case was still on trial. Much as there was a solid evidence, Braden had hired a lawyer to defend for
him. Was it a coincidence that Braden had a sudden myocardial infarction now?
Nicole fell into deep consideration.
The guard at the other side noticed her silence and said.
"Ms. Nicole, are you still there?"
"Yes. I'll be right there."
Hanging up the phone, she still considered about Braden.
"Don't go! You are no longer related to him. Look what Melissa has done to you! You are done with the
Bush family now. So it has nothing to do with you. Who knows what he wants to do? Did he have a
myocardial infarction? What a coincidence!" Edwin said straightforwardly.
Nicole knew that Edwin was worried about her safety, but there was something that she had to figure
out.
"Grandpa, how do I know what he wants if I don't go to see him? Anyway, I came back to catch the
betrayer. I'll go there. Don't worry, I will bring my bodyguards with me."
Although Nicole looked weak, she would do what she decided to do, just like her grandmother.
She seemed also tender and weak, as if she could do nothing harmful. But she left with her child after
cheating on him. She did not even contact him once before she died.
Edwin realized that he missed the damn old woman again.
He sighed, "You can go there. I'll arrange you a female bodyguard. She was demobilized from the
Special Forces. I won't let you go anywhere unless you take her with you."
"Alright, I'll listen to you."
Nicole wouldn't reject it because Edwin was worried about her.
Edwin had made a deal with the bodyguard. Now that Nicole had agreed, Edwin quickly snapped his
fingers and a woman walked in.
"Good morning, commander!"
The woman seemed like in her mod-twenties. Though she looked ordinary, Nicole could see that had
been a special soldier because her standing posture was awesome.
"This is Alison. She's demobilized and unemployed. I introduce her to you. You have to pay her salary,
understand?"
Nicole couldn't believe it.
"Grandpa, I think you are the one who should pay her. You said that you found me a bodyguard, didn't
you?"
"But you and Samuel are richer. Do you want me to pay for it? No way! Now go."
Edwin seemed to drive Nicole away, but Nicole smiled sweetly.
"Grandpa, you're so cute!"
After saying that, she kissed Edwin on the face. Then she got up and left.
"Wait for me to have lunch, old man."
Nicole waved her hand behind his back.
Edwin was stunned.
How many years had it been since the last time he was kissed?
Even Audrey, his own daughter, had never kissed him before.
Audrey was cold, like him. She treated everyone coldly. Edwin did not expect that her daughter would
be so outgoing. But Edwin loved Nicole.
Nicole really didn't take after Audrey at all. But Edwin loved her more.
He smiled and shook his head. Then he went to the kitchen to see if the sweet and sour fish prepared
for Nicole was ready.
Alison followed Nicole out of the Shaw's.
Nicole put on her sunglasses and said indifferently, "Can you drive?"
"Yes."
"Drive to the Central Hospital."
Nicole got on the car and sat in the back seat, closing her eyes.
Without any hesitation, Alison got on the car and started the engine. She drove the car directly to the
destination.
Nicole did not get off the car. Instead, she looked at Alison and asked, "If ten people attack me at the
same time, can you protect my safety?"
"Yes, Madam!"
Alison answered like she was still in the army.
Only then did Nicole smile and say, "You don't have to call me madam."
"Yes."
"Let's go see my foster father. I really wonder what he wants to do."
After saying that, Nicole walked in.
There were a few policemen standing at the door of the operating room, wearing uniforms. The lights in
the operating room were still on, meaning the operation was not over yet.
Nicole told them who she was.
"Hello, I'm Nicole."
A police officer received Nicole.
At this moment, the light of the operating room went out. When the doctor came out, Nicole narrowed
her eyes.
What a coincidence!
