"Your second uncle?"
Jason smiled awkwardly and said, "I don't seem to remember. Please don't laugh at me."
"What?"
Nicole was somewhat shocked.
"Uncle Jason, this isn't funny."
"I'm serious. Your second uncle and your father are 18 years older than me. When your grandmother
was pregnant with me, she wanted to get an abortion. She said that people would laugh at her for
giving birth to a baby at such an old age. Besides, your father and second uncle were adults at that
time. She was afraid that they wouldn't accept a brother who was 18 years younger than them. I heard
that it was your father and second uncle who persuaded your grandmother to have me."
Speaking of this, Jason was a little upset. Although Mrs. Don really loved him after he was born, he
was not happy to learn the fact that his fate was decided by his elder brothers.
Now Nicole asked about her second uncle, Jason had no choice but to tell her the whole story.
Nicole was also a little surprised.
It seemed that she had always neglected the age gap between her father and Uncle Jason.
Uncle Jason was only in his early thirties now. Because she always called him Uncle Jason, she almost
forgot his age.
Thinking of this, Nicole couldn't help but laugh.
"You're laughing at me?"
Nicole's smile resolved the unhappiness between them.
Jason liked the way things went. So he no longer cared about being ashamed. He thought for a
moment and said, "In my memory, your father was a calm man and your second uncle was very
naughty and rebellious. But they were very close to each other. When I went to kindergarten, they were
in college. At that time, your second uncle enjoyed a carefree life and liked travelling. He wasn't even at
home during the holidays. But the entire family often received postcards and gifts from him. Actually,
your second uncle was a very careful and considerate person. Although he didn't see us very often, he
knew about us. His gifts always suited our appetite. That's why I know that he cares about us in his
heart. "
At this point, Jason was a little sad.
"Nicole, when Sally told me the truth, I was really angry. Do you understand? I was angry that your
second uncle abandoned the whole family just for a woman. And he has abandoned us for so many
years! He never showed up, even when your father died. Later, your grandmother passed away. I don't
believe he didn't know this. But he still didn't come back. This isn't his style. Even if he had dispute over
a woman with your father, I don't believe that he would stay away from home for so many years just
because of this. I don't believe that he would refuse to visit his families when they passed away. He
didn't even send a single word. I mean, this is so strange."
Jason looked straight at Nicole.
Nicole was suddenly stunned.
She didn't know much about her second uncle. But Jason's words were not groundless.
Moreover, if what Jason said was true, it meant that her second uncle would not betray his family.
Maybe something had made him unable to return or he could not return.
Thinking of this, Nicole frowned. And she felt slightly uneasy in her heart.
"Uncle Jason, do you mean that something has happened to him?"
"Yes."
Jason had no intention to hide this from Nicole. Last time, Jason was struggling with whether to tell
Nicole. But right now, he was much franker.
As if knowing why Nicole was surprised, Jason smiled bitterly and said, "I didn't want you to get
involved in this. So I tried to prevent you from knowing the truth that Sally has come to me. I don't want
you to know that your second uncle and Sally are responsible for your mother and father's life-long
tragedy. After all, your second uncle and Sally are both related to you in some way. Many people have
been harmed by this incident. But it will hurt you the most."
Hearing Jason's words, the discontentment that Nicole had felt towards him dissipated.
"Uncle, I'm not that fragile."
"I know you are very tough. Sometimes it even hurts me to see you being so tough. I was wondering, if
your father and mother were still alive, you would be the little princess of our family, and maybe you
would not need to face so many difficulties and pains. And you wouldn't have to go through so much
trouble to be together with Samuel. After all, compared to the Bush family, our family can give you
much more protection and support."
These words were from Jason's heart. Jason felt he owed Nicole's father.
If he could find Nicole earlier, perhaps Nicole's life would not have been like this.
Nicole was living a fine life now, but she would suffer less if he had found her earlier!
Nicole was very touched. She sensed Jason's care.
She was a kind woman with a soft heart.
"Uncle Jason, some things are pre-determined by God. Fortunately, we are still together. Am I right?"
"Yes. But I hope you can be happy. In the future, Mark and I will try our best not to trouble you. Also, I
was afraid that your second uncle's incident will make you go to Country F to take risks. So I had no
intention to tell you about this. I just didn't expect you to discover what Sally did."
Jason smiled bitterly.
At that time, he was too impulsive. He forgot that it was very easy for Samuel to find out what a person
had done in the Seapolis City. At that time, he was too shocked, so he took no action to stop or defend
Samuel.
Now Nicole had known about it. Besides, she had also thought it through and planned to go on a trip.
Jason felt it was time to tell her the whole story.
Nicole thought of this as well. She couldn't help but ask, "Uncle Jason, aren't you afraid that after you
told me, I would change my mind and give up travelling?"
"First, you have to let Samuel be on the same page with you. The Seapolis City is in chaos. So is
Country F. Samuel must be very happy about the idea that you want to stay away from these two
places. Besides, only the outsider can see most of the game. So what I said would not change your
decision."
Jason's words stiffened Nicole.
Hearing Jason's words, Nicole suddenly felt that she was indeed too young and naive.
"Uncle Jason, what do you want to do now? Sally came to find you because she wanted you to go to
Country F and help her, right?"
"Yes. She hopes that I can use the power of the Don family to help her retrieve the power in Country F."
Hearing this, Nicole frowned.
"She has pretended to be dead in Country F for so many years. How could her power be disintegrated
so quickly?"
Nicole didn't believe this at all.
At first, Jason didn't believe it either. Hearing Nicole's question, he took out some documents and
handed them to Nicole.
Nicole didn't know what Jason meant. But after she took a look at the documents, her expression
instantly changed.
"How is this possible?"
Nicole looked at the documents in her hand, and her voice trembled.
Jason sighed and said, "Sally is also very pitiful. For so many years, she thought that she could control
her fate. She thought people believed that she was dead. She thought that she could protect the
person she wanted to protect. But in the end, she realized that all her efforts were in vain in front of that
person. Because from the very beginning, everything she did was under his control and acquiescence."
"Is that person the king?"
Jason nodded.
Looking at the paper in her hand, Nicole frowned.
"Morgan! Morgan is the king's subordinate! Does Sally know about this?"
"She doesn't. If she knew, she wouldn't have come to me to ask me to save Morgan, and she wouldn't
have asked me to help her regain her lost power."
Jason was also shocked when he received this information, but now he understood the reason behind
it.
"Sally and Morgan are friends in adversity. Morgan once saved Sally's life, so Sally is very nice to
Morgan. Sally trusts Morgan. She let Morgan help her to fake her death. She handed over all her
powers to Morgan, but she never expected that Morgan was the king's spy. The king is in control of
everything, including her fake death and her power. It has been so many years. Now her power has
become Morgan's. But Sally didn't know the truth. She still took Morgan as her sister. This kind of
betrayal is the most severe kind. Sally had done a lot for so many years. And she used to be powerful.
One or two regular traitors could never really hurt her power so hard. But the traitor is Morgan!"
Jason's words shocked Nicole.
She thought that Sally came back to seek sympathy to let her, Samuel or the Dons help her regain her
power in Country F. She thought Sally was doing that to help Zayn to gain some advantage. But now,
she realized that Sally came back because she literally had nothing.
Nicole had a mixed feeling in the heart. She felt so sad.
"How could it be Morgan?"
Thinking that Morgan was the king's subordinate, Nicole was in a worse mood.
Because Morgan was Joseph's teacher and she was more or less related to the Green Family. Now
Nicole was very afraid when she thought that Joseph had stayed quite some time with Morgan.
In the past, Nicole thought that Morgan was nice to Joseph because she lost her own son. Now, Nicole
couldn't help but wonder if Morgan wanted to get something through Joseph.
Thinking of this, Nicole was very angry and uncomfortable. She even wanted to kill Morgan.
She could not tolerate such schemes. She couldn't bear that Morgan tried to use the child she cared
about the most.
Nicole suddenly understood what Jason was trying to say to her today.
He wanted her to take the children out of this nonsense. At least he didn't want Joseph to get hurt.
This time, Morgan's injury might just be a bait of the king. And his goal was to make the Dons, Greens
and Shaws come to Country F. Probably, Sally's safe return to the Seapolis City was also under the
king's acquiesce.
Sally was a bait, a bait that could connect the Don family, the Green family, and the Shaw family. Sally
cared about Morgan. So the king used Morgan to lure Sally to ask for help. This was indeed a great
plan.
It seemed the king was targeting the Don family, the Green family, and the Shaw family.
Who was trying so hard to go against them?
What grudges was he holding against them?
Thinking of this, Nicole suddenly narrowed her eyes.
"Uncle Jason, did the three families offend someone 20 years ago?"
Nicole's words stunned Jason for a moment.
"I'm not sure. Twenty years ago, I was still a boy. And your grandmother didn't mention it to me either.
However, I don't think that the three families would have a common enemy. I think this had nothing to
do with things right now."
This had nothing to do with things right now?
Nicole felt that something was wrong.
