Lucas did not care what Viola thought of him, nor did he care whether she was afraid or not.
The moment she decided to set Nicole up, she was doomed.
Though he was young, he had fired a gun and killed lives. He didn't mind adding her to his death list.
Mommy has endured so many hardships. How could Viola get away with her crime just because she
was mommy's sister?
Mommy was poisoned by something he didn't know, so he didn't have any solid evidence. But it didn't
matter that he had no evidence.
He had plenty of ways to torture Viola.
Samuel and Nicole didn't know what Lucas had done.
Samuel kept a close eye on Nicole, and Nicole was still asleep.
She was not really asleep.
After the previous burning sensation disappeared, Nicole felt exhausted.
It was as if her body had been hollowed out. She was extremely tired and uncomfortable.
She did not know how long she had slept, nor did she know what had happened to her. She felt chest
tightness and shortness of breath as if she were pressed by something.
Nicole struggled hard to wake up.
She knew how much Samuel cared about her, how much the children relied on her, and how likely she
was to frighten them.
Samuel must be go into lengths to revive her. How could she keep sleeping?
Nicole struggled and finally slowly opened her eyes.
The room was so dark that there was no light at all.
She felt a pair of powerful hands hugging her. She felt relieved at the familiar embrace.
Nicole heard even breathing.
She turned her head, unable to see Samuel's face clearly. It was too dark.
Nicole tried to turn on the light.
Samuel instantly woke up.
"Nicole?"
His voice was hoarse but excited.
Nicole smiled weakly and felt her throat burning.
"Would you like some water? I'll pour some for you right away."
Samuel hurriedly got out of bed and poured a cup of warm water for Nicole.
He was so excited.
Nicole was awake!
She finally woke up!
Samuel slowly helped Nicole up and placed the cup beside her lips.
Nicole was really too thirsty.
It was as if she were walking in the desert in a blazing hot day, about to collapse. Right now, the warm
water was like a spring. She gulped down the water.
She quickly finished the glass of water but Nicole was still thirsty.
Samuel quickly poured another cup for her.
After three glasses of water, Nicole felt better.
She looked at the dark room and whispered, "Samuel, why aren't you turning on the light?"
Samuel suddenly trembled.
At sunset, the sun with gorgeous color came in through the floor-to-ceiling window. But at this moment,
Samuel felt dazzled.
Fear haunted him and he was so painful.
Samuel stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Nicole.
Nicole didn't blink or react.
Samuel's heart sank.
"The power is out."
Samuel did not know how to explain to her, and his heart ached.
Nicole was blind!
Thinking about this, Samuel suffered great pain, but he had no choice but to endure it.
"I'll call Ashley and Gabrielle over."
However, Nicole directly grabbed Samuel's hand and whispered, "Forget it. It's dark. Gabrielle is
pregnant. She might fall down. I'm fine now. Let's wait till tomorrow morning."
Samuel's eyes instantly became moist. Tear was about to fall down from his beautiful long eyes,
showing that he was enduring the pain.
"Then I'll call Ashley over to take a look. Only after she checks you can I be sure you are fine."
"Did I scare you?"
Nicole smiled faintly.
Her smile was so beautiful, but her eyes looked glassy.
The more Samuel looked, the more painful he felt.
"Yes, you scared me to death."
Samuel held Nicole's hand tightly.
"I don't know what's wrong," Nicole said with a smile, "and I might have had a fever. I feel like I was
roasted on a fire, but I was fine afterwards. I'm too frail. Maybe I caught a cold at the racecourse
yesterday. Don't worry about me too much."
Yesterday?
Samuel really wanted to say that it was not yesterday.
It has been three days since Nicole's accident.
These three days were like purgatory to him.
But Nicole was awake now. Although she couldn't see, he was glad that she was alive. She didn't die.
Samuel hugged Nicole tightly and whispered, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have slept with you
so often. Even though I know you are frail, I still can't control myself."
Nicole blushed in an unnatural way.
"I am not a fragile doll, am I?"
"You are."
Samuel's heart ached.
Nicole was exceptionally tired. After talking to Samuel for a while, she felt extremely exhausted.
Her eyelids lowered.
Nicole leaned against Samuel's shoulder and said softly, "Samuel."
"What's up?"
"I'm so sleepy."
Nicole's words made Samuel nervous again.
He was afraid!
He was afraid that Nicole would catch a fever after she fell asleep, afraid that....
But before Samuel could say anything, Nicole had fallen asleep.
Samuel was not sure what was going on. He put Nicole on the bed and ran out to find Ashley and
Gabrielle.
They were stunned when they heard that Nicole could no longer see.
They quickly came to Nicole and performed a series of examinations on her, but they couldn't find any
problems.
Moreover, there was no problem with Nicole's eyes. They didn't know why Nicole couldn't see.
Samuel was silent.
What exactly was going on?
He thought of Viola.
"Is Viola still unwilling to say anything?"
The subordinate hurriedly reported.
She refused to say anything."
Samuel asked someone to take care of Nicole and came to Viola.
Seeing Viola's appearance, Samuel was stunned.
"Who did it?"
"Mr. Lucas ordered us to do so."
Samuel was slightly stunned and had complicated feelings in his heart.
He knew that Lucas loved Nicole so much. But his methods were so cruel considering his young age.
"You can continue the torture, but it's all my orders. Do you understand?"
Samuel was defending his son.
Viola couldn't help but think of her father Dominic.
If Dominic were still alive, he would definitely come back to save her.
But why did her dad pass away so early?
Why didn't he leave the world with her?
Tears fell down on Viola's cheeks. But to Samuel, she didn't look pitiful but disgusting.
He grabbed a handful of salt and arrived in front of Viola.
Viola's eyes widened.
"What do you want to do?"
"What kind of poison did you use on Nicole?"
Samuel said in a frightening tone.
Viola knew that if she didn't say anything, the salt in Samuel's hand would definitely fall on the wound
on her face.
However, if she told him, Nicole would be saved.
But what was all the pain she had gone through?
No!
She couldn't tell him!
What was done could not be undone. Nicole had to die with her if she died.
Viola figured this out and laughed crazily, "I won't tell you! Nicole is destined to die with me!"
Just as she finished speaking, Samuel grabbed her neck fiercely.
He said word by word, "Believe it or not, I'll force you drink Nicole's blood. She's poisoned and you
have to suffer, too."
Viola shivered for a moment, but she still said crazily, "Even if you kill me, I won't tell you. You won't be
able to find out. Even the best doctors won't be able to find out what this poison is. Nicole will lose her
sight, and then her heart will finally stop beating."
Hearing Viola said Nicole would lose her sight, Samuel's heart ached.
Was blindness really the result of poisoning?
He thought about how glassy Nicole's eyes were and how scared she should be in the dark alone.
If a person is born blind, then light is just an illusion to him. However, Nicole was not born blind. She
had seen this gorgeous world, her own child, and her handsome husband Samuel. How could she
suddenly suffer from endless darkness?
Her life should be colorful, not black.
Anger was boiling up inside Samuel.
He wanted to strangle Viola to death, but on second thought, it was too easy for her.
It was head to overstate how much hatred he had towards Viola.
Just when Viola thought that she could finally pass away, Samuel let go of her throat.
"I will keep you well and alive."
Samuel's voice sounded calm, but Viola's felt scared.
"Kill me! Samuel, kill me!"
Viola shouted.
She really couldn't endure this kind of torture anymore.
If she knew what kind of poison it was, perhaps she would tell Samuel to die peacefully. But she did not
know.
Everyone knew that she had poisoned Nicole, but no one knew that Major gave her the poison.
When Major gave her the poison, she didn't even tell her what it was!
Viola intentionally provoked Samuel and Lucas into killing her, but now she couldn't endure the pain.
What should she do?
Damn Major!
Why didn't she come here to save her?
She didn't want to die here, not at all!
But Viola also knew that she was probably left here as a useless person.
What should she do?
How was she going to get out of here?
Samuel and Lucas were two devils. She couldn't survive nor beg for death. She really couldn’t bear the
torture anymore.
Just as everyone was anxious about Nicole's blindness, Tim finally got the news that Nicole had an
accident.
His heart suddenly sank. He wanted to see Nicole immediately. But at the door, he met Evelyn, who
had a gloomy expression.
