“Uncle Laurence?”
Lucas shouted in a low voice, in amazement, and eventually, Nicole also confirmed her thought.
Just know, she thought the voice was familiar, but she was not sure. Now, she was right. It was
Laurence Kent!
Why was he here?
Nicole reckoned all the time that Laurence was hid and protected by Audrey and Xander. In that case,
she thought it would be good not to receive any news of him, but to her surprise, he was here in the
mansion of Martin Close.
In another words, Martin was illegally confining Laurence.
And it all made sense now.
Martha, on the ground of her mental illness, developed a research laboratory for Martin in the
convalescent hospital. And Dr. Miller also had connection with Martin. Perhaps all of this have
something to do with Laurel Miller, but she didn’t know it. When Laurence’s cell division started
accelerating, Martin had already fixed his eyes on him.
When Davon planned to show up personally with a new identity, Martin released Laurence to fake
Davon’s death. And after that, Nicole and Samuel were brought back to Capital City for isolation and
investigation. She thought Laurence was well-protected by Audrey, but now, it seemed that Martin had
already benefited from their conflicts at that time.
So, how well did Martin know about Davon?
And what had Laurence gone through here?
Seeing Laurence’s red eyes, which was supposed to be blue, Nicole knew he could not be able to
recognize her.
How could this happen?
Since Laurence was here, where was Cara?
What had she gone through?
Nicole had no idea of it. She was in a great confusion.
Whether for Davon, Laurence, or for Cara, Martin Close was the threat, so…
A hint of indifference flashed across her eyes.
Anyway, she was now in a great pain.
Laurence threw Nicole away with all his strength, and she felt like she was almost broken. But she
dared not to hesitate and cried, for Laurence now started another attack.
Nicole made a kick-up within a second, and dodged away. She was afraid to fight directly against
Laurence, because whether in speed or in power, she could not match with Laurence.
She almost jumped up straight from the ground, but she dared not confront him just like that. She knew
she was no match for him in both strength or speed.
That’s for sure, because now, every cell inside Laurence’s body had been intensified, and he was a
killer without his own sense.
After being smashing for times, Nicole was unable to get to her feet.
There was a burst of loud noise in the room, but no one came and checked. Obviously, people around
had all been accustomed to the noise he made.
Knowing that she herself was going to be killed by Laurence, Nicole was very terrified. And when
Lucas, who was also frightened, was about to jump down to rescue his mother, Laurence collapsed
and closed his eyes slowly.
Nicole knew the sleeping potion she injected worked.
Before Nicole denatured, she put sleeping potion into the tube just in case, and it was convenient and
effective. But to her surprise, it was used in Laurence.
When Laurence fell into sleep, Nicole let out a sigh of relief. Lucas climbed down hurriedly, squatted
down beside Nicole, looked at bruises all over her, and said in a distressed tone, “Mom, are you
alright? Let me take you to Samuel.”
“No, we have to figure out a way to take Laurence with us first.”
Nicole knew that it was not the right way to leave Laurence alone there. However, it was Martin’s place,
how could she send him out?”
She got a lot of questions for Laurence, but now it was not the time.
Lucas frowned slightly.
“There are body guards everywhere, there is no way we can take him with us and leave this place. And
besides, we have no idea when he will wake up.”
Nicole knew Lucas was right, but she just could not leave Laurence there alone.
What were they gonna do?
At the time, there came the sound of footsteps outside. It sounded like there was a crowd approaching.
Nicole hastily gestured Lucas to climb back to the vent.
Lucas was in a hesitation.
“What about you, mom?”
“I can handle it myself, just go!”
She had to guarantee her son’s safety first.
Lucas had no choice but to climb back, and stayed in the vent, when he saw the expectation in Nicole’s
eyes.
As the footstep got closer and closer, Nicole did nothing but drag Laurence onto the bed, closed the
curtain, and hid herself under the bed.
The door was opened when the footstep stopped. And the light was switched on.
The room was in a chaos, but it seemed that they had already got used to it. They stepped out before
long after they had a look inside.
Nicole heard someone asking outside, “Who’s that?”
“Who do you think can be there but the monster? The two will be beaten to death if they accidentally
get into this room. It was like you don’t know how dangerous he is.”
“I was wondering where can a woman and a young lad hide in? Tim Louis and Samuel Green were
confronting with Mr. Close. If we still cannot find them, Mr. Close will absolutely kill us all.”
“Who knows it? Let’s hurry up and hope we can find them as soon as possible. Mr. Close also ordered
that we can’t harm them. If I have known it before, I would poison them and made them to sleep. It is
really annoying for them to get us into trouble.”
As the voice vanished.
Nicole felt delighted.
Tim and Samuel were here in the mansion?
That was to say, Samuel had saved Tim. Now both of them were here in the mansion, and their cars
must be waiting outside.
Nicole thought fast, but Laurence was not in a coma, so it was not easy to take him out with them.
Lucas came down again after those body guards left, and he also heard what they talked.
“Mom, Since Samuel and Tim were here, can we let them know we are here?”
“How? Our phones had been taken away, and it has signal interference here, there is no way we can
contact them.”
Nicole was upset.
At the moment, there came the sound of footsteps outside, and it sounded like there was only one
person.
Nicole grabbed Lucas into her arm and hid themselves under the bed very quickly.
The person who walked close stopped before the door, opened the door lightly, stepped in and closed
the door instantly.
She didn’t switch on the light. She crept towards the bed, and shouted in tremulous voice, “Laurence,
Laurence, are you alright?”
As she shouted, she was about to wake him up. Nicole dumbfounded for a split second, and let loose
of Lucas to show up from under the bed suddenly, and caught hold of the woman’s wrist.
The woman paused shortly, because she didn’t anticipate that there would be someone under
Laurence’s bed. And then, she attacked Nicole’s neck directly.
Nicole didn’t understand.
What was wrong with them?
Why did they always attack her neck?
