"Well, Mrs. Green, I think I may leave now."
Cara was about to run out when Nicole stopped her.
"Why the hurry? Laurence doesn't bite. Well, is there something between you two that I know not of?
Like...why don't we start with the trousers story?"
Seeing Cara's face lightened by a flush, Nicole moved back to this topic playfully.
"Mrs. Green, please!"
Cara felt so embarrassed.
'I thought Laurence was the only one who knows about it except me! How could Samuel and Mrs.
Green knew about it?'
'Besides, Samuel usually didn't gossip much. There is no way that he went to watch the CCTV merely
for a piece of gossip!'
'But wait!'
'She was in her own room when doing the laundry?'
'Was there a surveillance camera in her room?'
Cara's face immediately turned pale with fear.
Looking at Cara, Samuel knew at once what she was thinking about. He smiled and said, "Don't worry,
I didn't have your room monitored. What I saw was the footage of the laundry. I only knew that
someone asked you to wash something."
Cara's face blushed again.
Laurence heard everything right outside the door, then he knocked on the door and said, "Mr. and Mrs.
Green, I don't think there will be any need for the CCTV in the laundry room."
He walked in as he spoke.
Nicole was going to burst out into laughter.
"Why? We should definitely have the laundry room monitored. What if some really bad people sneak in
and hide in the laundry room?"
Laurence said calmly, "Privacy is privacy."
"Privacy is only privacy because someone wants to hide something. But when you went to ask Cara to
do the laundry for you, apparently you weren't hiding it from anyone. And now you call that privacy?"
Samuel pursed his lips and looked at Laurence, clearly in a good mood.
Laurence threw a glance first at Samuel and then at Nicole, who was obviously in waiting for some
juicy gossips. Then he saw that Cara was about to cry and suddenly took a step forward and pulled
Cara over. He said, "Yareli wants you there."
"Oh, sure, I'll be right there."
Cara fled.
"Well."
Nicole smacked her lips twice and looked at Laurence with a smile in her eyes.
Laurence said calmly, "Didn't you want to play Cupid? Since you've shot a pair of arrows, then please
don't ever give me another shot."
Nicole immediately widened her eyes.
"Holy shit! I thought you had no feelings for Cara! Besides, even Cara agreed that you go to that blind
date. I've already settled everything! How can you break it!"
Laurence threw Nicole a glance yet didn't say anything, but the way Nicole saw it, he was interested.
Samuel coughed and said, "You are at liberty to love whoever you want, yet you must take your job
seriously."
"Sure thing."
"And by the way, since you are here, I've got something for you."
Samuel looked at Laurence and whispered, "You knew Nicole. Her physical condition, I mean. Her
pregnancy is a total accident that her body may not be able to withstand. I've learned that your blood
may be of help to her and her baby in the belly, so..."
"How much do you need?"
Laurence got him at once and asked before Samuel did.
A muscle at Nicole's corner twisted.
'That's blood! How could he just ask how much when he learned about it? Wouldn't that be too
generous?'
"Laurence, do you know that there is something special about your blood?"
Nicole got a chance to start the talk.
"I do."
As he spoke, he seemed lost in some unpleasant memory.
If it weren't for his special blood, he wouldn't have been kidnapped and studied for several times since
childhood. He felt, however, quite OK if his blood was taken for Nicole's sake.
Blood, after extracting some, can still be regenerated.
Besides, he owed Nicole his life. Merely some blood from him wouldn't be worth mentioning at all.
Laurence seemed quite calm and peaceful, yet Nicole seemed concerned.
Samuel was afraid that Nicole would say something she shouldn't be saying, so he hurriedly said, "It's
not done at only one time. 400 ml every week, and do you think it's OK for you? You'll also need to get
physical training to increase your immunity, and I will let Cara prepare the medicines and meals for
blood replenishing."
"No problem."
Laurence recalled that when Neville was studying his blood components, he took a lot of them every
single day. He almost fainted once. Now that Nicole only wanted 400 ml a week. That was no more
than a piece of cake.
"Then you may get prepared. Let's start today."
"Alright."
Laurence turned around and left.
Seeing him off, Nicole suddenly realized something.
"Samuel, why was he here in the first place?"
"He was here for Cara."
Samuel smiled.
Finally Laurence found the girl on his mind. Happiness should be on its way for him, right? Let's hope
that Jack shall have Jill.
Nicole was stunned for a moment before she came back to earth.
"So he knocked on the door only to find Cara? Didn't he come to make a work report?"
"What work do you need him to report? He was in charge of the security system of the Green's. If he
did need to report something, that 'something' won't be good."
Samuel reached out and scratched Nicole's nose and she frowned.
"What's wrong with you? You either hit my forehead or scratched my nose. Don't bully me just because
I'm pregnant. I'm telling you, if you do that to me again, I'll definitely bite you!"
"Then be my guest! It's not my first day to know you. You've nearly made a dog out of yourself!"
What Samuel said kind of pissed Nicole off.
"Come right here."
She put her hands on her hips and then pointed at Samuel angrily.
Samuel smiled and rolled his wheelchair towards her. Nicole crossed her arms around his neck and bit
him right on his neck.
Samuel felt a sting and was suddenly excited by her warm breath.
"Nicole, that's enough."
"No way!"
Nicole's hands started to fondle all around Samuel's body.
Samuel immediately felt that the fire was running all over his body, and he could hardly suppress it
anymore.
"Nicole, no fussing please."
"No!"
Nicole was enjoying herself and didn't notice that there was a subtle change in Samuel's eyes.
Samuel grabbed Nicole by her hand, pulled her in his arms, and then started to kiss her.
Nicole was stunned and then was nearly stifled by his fanatical kiss.
The whole room started to smell of hormones.
Cara left the room and just got to feel less embarrassed when the breeze blew.
She knew that Laurence had said that only in her defense.
She felt a bit touched and then smiled. She went downstairs and saw Yareli hurriedly heading over.
"How is it? Anything from Mrs. Green?"
"Nothing yet. Keep your mouth shut about what happened today. And most importantly don't tell
Laurence about it. Have you heard me, Yareli?"
Cara looked grim all of a sudden, which frightened her.
"Don't tell me about what?"
Laurence then walked down. His clear voice made Cara worried.
'That was way too fast!'
Yareli suddenly looked excited.
"Captain Kent."
She called him shyly while Laurence just ignored her as if he didn't see her at all. He came to Cara and
asked again, "Don't tell me about what?"
"Girls' issues. None of your business."
Cara was too embarrassed to raise her head.
Laurence smiled and suddenly reached out to pat Cara's head. He whispered, "Mrs. Green said that
you will be in charge of my meal from now on and thank you for the trouble you will be taking."
"No, no trouble at all."
Cara hurriedly stepped aside.
'Talk as you may, why the tap?'
'It would be hard to explain if someone else caught sight of it!'
Besides, it was in a public area. Cara still remembered the CCTV story. She didn't want to be
embarrassed again.
Laurence felt something as Cara moved her body.
"Are you available later?"
"No."
Cara hurriedly shook her head.
Laurence frowned slightly.
"What are you going to do then?"
Cara didn't expect Laurence to ask. Usually, Laurence would go right away when she said that she was
not available, but today he didn't. What happened?
Since Mrs. Miller had warned her on the phone, Cara didn't dare to tell Laurence that she was going to
see Mrs. Miller. But he was asking! What should she say?
Cara turned blank and said, "Does blind date count?"
She could feel that the temperature around her had instantly dropped, and Laurence's pretty face
turned gloomy as well.
Recalling that Nicole said that Cara had agreed to the blind date, Laurence stared at her and said, "You
really have the mood."
Then he left as if he was angry.
Cara was a little confused.
Was he angry?
Why was he angry?
Because she said she was going on a blind date?
That shouldn't be the case. Didn't he personally show her the photo and tell her the address last time?
So did she do something else wrong just now? Or said something wrong?
Cara couldn't think of a reason.
When Yareli saw that Cara had made Laurence leave with anger, she hurriedly said, "Miss Clint, don't
you like Captain Kent?"
"What do you mean?"
Cara was in a bad mood, and when she heard Yareli, she couldn't help but ask.
Yareli said, "If you like Captain Kent, how could it be possible that you still go out on a blind date?
Captain Kent is so handsome and a hundred times better than the men outside who can only find a
girlfriend through blind dates."
Cara was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly.
She absolutely knew that Laurence was handsome! But what if he thought she was no match for him?
It was often said that if a woman wanted a man, all she needed was to ask. But she had been after him
for such a long time! Laurence wasn't responding to her at all. What else could she do?
If she kept going on, it would be like a hot pursuit. And she despised hot pursuits!
She sighed implicitly.
Then, she calmed down and whispered, "I won't say anything about Laurence. Now we've got a
mission and all of you are going to stay focused. Do you hear me?"
Yareli thought that Cara would deny it, but in the end, she suddenly changed the topic, which made her
a little unpleased. Yet she couldn't say anything else. She could only nod her head when Laurence
suddenly turned around.
