Lucas suddenly realized a problem.
Why was Mommy's belly flat now?
His heart skipped a beat.
He had kept chatting and joking with Mommy just now and actually forgot such an important thing that
the baby should be big enough to make Mommy's belly look conspicuous now.
But Mommy's belly was flat, and she didn't seem to be pregnant at all. Was there anything wrong with
the baby during his absence?
Lucas went back to search for Mommy's information on the Internet again but couldn't find anything
valuable.
Nicole's miscarriage did not cause any disturbance on the Internet, let alone leave any trace.
Lucas frowned and went to Mark's office.
"I want a vacation."
Mark was slightly stunned.
"I've asked the guards to escort your mom away. But what the hell do you want a vacation in such an
important period during which your team's research project is about to get approved? You, as the
leader of the team, actually quit now? Do you know the consequence?"
"I quit! I am not the only officer in the army, but I am the only son of Mommy. How can I stay in the army
and ignore her? What do you want her to do? Samuel should be in the police station now, right? If he
can't come out, the other people may be against her. If anything happens to her, who can bear the
responsibility? Grandpa Mark, can you?"
Although Lucas was young, he still spoke with confidence.
Mark frowned slightly.
"I remember that the system of the army is a separate system. Did you hack the system again and
investigate some information?"
Lucas did not answer, seeming to admit.
Mark sighed and softened his tone.
"Lucas, I know you're worried about your mom, and I'm worried, too. She's not just your mom, but also
my niece. But you have to believe me, and we will solve the problems properly. Don't worry. Now that
you are no longer a child, you are a military officer and you have to shoulder the responsibility. Since
you have chosen to be a military officer, you should know that the national interest outweighs
everything else. Most of the time, you should give up some interests of your small family for the
interests of the rest in the country. Jason and your great-grandfather will also come to help your mom.
Besides, do you think your daddy is that useless? He is the man who is framed by someone and
obediently goes to the police station for investigation? When does he become such a useless man?"
More concerns would lead to more troubles. Lucas was too anxious to think about the thing rationally
under such a circumstance.
Now that he heard what Mark said, he was stunned.
Although Samuel had failed to protect Mommy a few times, it was still the first time he had been so
useless.
Lucas understood what Mark meant. Perhaps this was a trap set by Samuel, but he was still worried.
"Mommy..."
"Don't worry, your great-grandfather has arranged for someone to protect her. You won't be able to help
even if you go back now. Not all bad people will commit high-tech crimes, so you, a high-tech talent, is
unable to help with that, and even you may have an opposite effect. You'd better stay in the army and
do your research."
Mark had clarified the matter so clearly now. If Lucas didn't know what to do, he would be sorry for his
military uniform.
He lowered his eyes and did not say anything. He was thinking about whether he should continue to
stay in the military region.
Nicole did not know that Lucas had a man-to-man conversation with Mark because of her. After she
was sent out by the guards, she was directly sent back in a military vehicle.
On the way, Nicole received a phone call from Lillian.
"Nicole, are you coming back for dinner tonight?"
Nicole paused slightly and asked, "Ms. Lillian, are you going to make me something delicious?"
"You are too polite. You have suffered so much, and I want to make some delicious food for you to
show my concern. Have you eaten at your grandfather's house for lunch? I know that you keep a close
tie with your grandfather, but no matter what, you are still a granddaughter. It's not good to disturb Mr.
Shaw too often. I have cleaned up your room. Petty misses you, too. You know that she is pregnant
now, and she'll be happier if you come back to keep her company. "
In such case, if Nicole still refused, Lillian would know her intention.
But Nicole snorted coldly in her heart.
What did Lillian mean that she was only a granddaughter?
Lillian wanted to estrange her grandfather and her?
"Alright, I want the Duck Soup."
Nicole ordered as usual.
"Okay, I'll go prepare in the afternoon."
With that, Lillian chatted with Nicole for a while before hanging up.
Nicole seemed to be sullen.
Others might have thought that they were intimate mother and daughter, but if it wasn't for Edwin's
reminder and the matter related to Samuel, she wouldn't have suspected Lillian.
This woman was really good at disguising herself.
The guard didn't say anything. He was called by Mark to send Nicole back to the military compound.
Just as the car was about to arrive at Edwin's house, Nicole's phone suddenly rang again.
She lowered her head slightly and took a look. It was an unfamiliar telephone number.
Who was it?
After she returned to the Seapolis City, Nicole felt that there were more troubles. It seemed that the
manipulators hiding in the shadows were really starting to stir.
She calmly got through the call.
"I'm Nicole. Who is it?"
"Hello, Mrs. Green. I'm from the Second Prison. Someone wants to see you."
Nicole was stunned for a moment.
The Second Prison?
The place where Elvis was being imprisoned?
When Elvis was formally prosecuted, Nicole did not hear the case, so she was not sure if Elvis was
sentenced to life imprisonment.
Now that such a long time had passed, could it be that Elvis wanted to see her?
Nicole did not expect that Elvis wanted to see her. She thought for a moment and replied, "When?"
"The sooner the better. Elvis has been sentenced to death and will be executed tomorrow."
What the man said shocked Nicole. But she immediately felt that it was reasonable that Elvis was
sentenced to death for the appalling things he had done.
"Okay, I'll be right there."
Nicole called Alison.
"Drive me to the Second Prison. I'm at the door."
Nicole asked the guards to park the car at the entrance of the military region, and soon Alison drove
out.
When she saw Nicole, Alison got out of the car.
"Mrs. Green, why didn't you call me when you left at noon?"
Alison was a little depressed and felt that she had been abandoned by Nicole.
Nicole smiled, "I went to the military region to see my son. Uncle Mark personally came to pick me up,
so I didn't trouble you. Now let's go to the Second Prison. I want to see Elvis."
"Okay, I got it."
Nicole got in the car, and Alison drove the car to the Second Prison.
When she arrived at the prison, Nicole didn't want to go in, for the atmosphere here was really
depressing.
However, Elvis was about to die. Perhaps she could get some useful information from him.
Nicole and Alison walked in and went through the identity verifications, then they were being taken into
the reception room.
When Elvis was brought out, Nicole was stunned.
He seemed to be much older than before, and even had white hair on his temples, but he was not low-
spirited.
"I don't expect you to come."
"I don't expect that you want to meet me either. I have thought the last person you want to see is Una."
Nicole said indifferently.
Elvis smiled bitterly and said, "What am I seeing her for? I don't regret what I have done for her."
Nicole was really moved by Elvis' love for Una.
It was rare for such a man to give all his love to Una.
Perhaps all the men of the Green family were affectionate, but Elvis took a detour for love.
Nicole sighed in her heart and whispered, "Do you have anything to tell me?"
Elvis nodded.
"Actually, I should ask help for Samuel or Petty. After all, one of them is my nephew and the other is my
daughter. However, I know that Samuel hates me and couldn't help me. As for Petty, I don't want to get
her involved with me. She is pregnant now and shouldn't see a criminal father who did many bad
things. I haven't done anything for her in my life, so I don't want to trouble her. I have no choice but to
ask help for you after thinking about it. "
Hearing this, Nicole sneered.
"It was because of you that my mother died in the fire and my father was killed. Why do you think I will
agree to what you entrusted me with?"
Until now, Nicole could still recall the fire which killed Audrey and Xander.
The fire surged into the sky, almost dyeing everyone's eyes red.
Nicole's hands clenched tightly together.
Elvis could naturally feel Nicole's hatred, but he really couldn't find anyone to help him.
"I know you hate me, and that you may not agree to my trust, but I can trade a secret with you."
"What?"
Nicole frowned slightly.
Elvis looked at her and whispered, "Let's talk about my request first. I'm going to die. You should have
heard that I am going to be executed. I've done so many wrong things in my life. So, it's not wrong for
me to end up like this. I'm not wronged, but Una is too pitiful."
"Do you want me to take care of her for you? If that's the case, I can promise you. After all, it is easy for
the Greens to feed one more woman."
Nicole said indifferently.
Una was a pitiful woman. Although Una might want to do something, Nicole felt that if she lost Elvis,
she would not be able to make any fuss.
However, Elvis shook his head and said, "I know Una very well. If I die, she will never live alone.
Therefore, there is no need to waste the food of the Green family."
Nicole frowned slightly. Before she could say anything, Elvis continued, "What I want to entrust to you
is that if I die and Una commit suicide, please bury our ashes together. I also know that I am a sinner
and can't be buried in the ancestral tomb of the Green family. So, I bought myself a cemetery long ago.
I hope you can bury us together later."
