"What's the matter?"
Nicole felt nervous.
In the morning, Samuel said that he had something to do and had not returned yet. Did anything
happen to him?
When she thought of that, Nicole was no longer calm.
She stood up and walked towards Jacob.
Jacob looked at Nicole, then looked at Petty, and whispered, "It's not Mr. Green, it's..."
"Who is it?"
When Nicole heard that it wasn't Samuel, she heaved a sigh of relief. However, the person who could
let Jacob report the bad news should be the people in the villa.
Jacob looked at Petty and whispered, "It's Zac."
The key in Petty's hand suddenly fell to the ground.
"What happened to Zac?"
Petty's voice trembled.
Nicole frowned slightly.
Petty and Zac had just been together for a few days. What happened to Zac?
"What's going on?"
Nicole hugged Petty's shoulder so that she wouldn't fall down.
Jacob whispered, "After Zac sent Mr. Green to Eternal Group, he told Mr. Green that Petty liked to eat
crab roe buns from the east of the city. Coincidentally, Mr. Green didn't have things to order him, so he
let Zac go. However, not long ago, the captain of the traffic brigade called Mr. Green and said that Zac
had collided with a large truck at the intersection. He was currently in the hospital for treatment, so I
didn't know the exact situation. Mr. Green told me to come back and tell you and Petty. If possible, let
Petty go and visit him. I'm afraid... that..."
Jacob didn't say anything, but Petty's face turned pale.
"What buns? I'm okay if I don't eat them. Why did he buy them?"
As Petty spoke, tears began to flow out of her eyes.
Jacob didn't feel good either.
During this period, Zac and Samuel had been doing their best to help Samuel. Zac really wanted to live
a good life with Petty, but they didn't expect things would turn out like this.
"Petty, don't be sad. It's better to pack up and hurry over."
"I'll go take a look too."
Nicole was also very anxious.
"Madame, Mr. Green said that you were still recovering from the miscarriage. It would be better if..."
"Don't you know what happened? Stop talking nonsense? Hurry up and prepare the car. Petty and I will
be here soon."
Nicole directly interrupted Jacob, then turned around and left.
Seeing Nicole like this, Jacob could not say anything. He hurriedly went out to prepare the car, and
Petty changed her clothes in panic. She had worn the wrong clothes several times.
"Don't worry, Petty, what you need now is to calm down. I know you're worried about Zac, but the more
anxious you are, the more you can't handle things properly. Zac still needs you. You need to calm
yourself down first."
Nicole tightly grabbed Petty's shoulder, forcing her to face her eyes.
Petty looked into Nicole's eyes and suddenly cried, "Madam, I'm scared! I'm really scared! If Zac can't
hold on, I don't know what to do. He just said that he wanted to marry me. The date has been decided.
My greatest wish in my life is to be his bride."
"Yes, you will get through it. I think Zac also wants to give you a perfect wedding, so don't give up. Be
optimistic, and things will be better."
Nicole didn't feel good.
How could such a thing happen to a perfect couple who were about to get married?
They quickly arrived at the hospital. Samuel also rushed over when he heard the news. When he saw
Nicole, he was slightly stunned. Seeing that she was wearing thin clothes, he took off his coat
immediately and put it over Nicole. He also fastened the buttons.
"Why going out in such a cold day?"
Samuel was somewhat dissatisfied.
Nicole whispered, "Something wrong happened to Zac. I have to come over and take a look at Petty."
Hearing that, Samuel did not say anything, but he still let her sit in a chair beside him and waited
outside with Petty.
Zac's operation ended soon. When the doctor came out, Petty was very anxious.
"Doctor, how is he?"
"It's very serious. Let's take a look tonight. If he can't make it through, he would be a vegetative."
Hearing the doctor's words, Petty collapsed onto the chair.
"No, Petty, be strong. Zac has you in mind. He will always stick to the end."
Seeing this, Nicole couldn't help but feel a little sad.
Although Petty was sad, she also knew Nicole's condition. She said to them, "Mr. Green, madam,
please go back first. I'll be fine here by myself."
"I'll send someone to take care of Zac with you."
Samuel knew that Nicole would not be at ease if this matter was not handled properly, so he took the
initiative to speak.
After dealing with everything here, Nicole was somewhat depressed. However, when she remembered
that Mrs. Don was also hospitalized here, she hesitated and said, "How about I go see grandma?"
Samuel knew that she was really bored these past few days, and he was indeed busy dealing things
about leaving with Nicole. Now that he heard Nicole's words, he hurriedly nodded.
"Alright, I'll go with you."
Nicole and Samuel walked along the corridor of the hospital towards Mrs. Don's ward. However, not
long after, Nicole seemed to have suddenly thought of something.
"Forget it, I still won't go."
She stopped and intended to turn around.
"What's the matter?"
Samuel could tell that Nicole really wanted to go. There must be a reason why she suddenly stopped.
Nicole whispered, "I just remembered that Viola is still here. I don't want to have a head-on conflict with
her."
"What are you afraid of her for? You are a legitimate granddaughter of the Don family. She is an
illegitimate daughter. She has to be careful in front of you. Besides, with Minister Shaw here, she can't
do anything. At the very least, you still have me. Do you think your husband is useless?"
Samuel's words made Nicole smile.
"I didn't mean that. Aren't I afraid that grandma will feel uncomfortable? Besides, it's not good for me to
come here empty-handed."
"You came to see your own grandmother, not others. You don't need to care that much."
Samuel felt that Nicole was somewhat afraid of visiting her family.
She had recovered a little in the past few days and had always wanted to come over to take a look. But
now, she was clearly right in front of her grandma. She did not know how to face her. The courage that
she had risked everything for the antidote was now completely invisible.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Samuel gently patted Nicole's shoulder. Looking at Samuel's handsome face, she felt assured.
"Let's go!"
Nicole took a deep breath and walked towards Mrs. Don's room again.
When they arrived at the door of Mrs. Don's room, the sound of laughter came from inside. It seemed
that Mrs. Don was in a good mood now.
Samuel patted Nicole's shoulder and cheered her on. Only then did Nicole summon the courage to
knock on the door.
"Come in!"
Mrs. Don's voice was very loud. It seemed that she was fine.
Nicole pushed open the door and entered. What caught her eyes was Viola sitting in front of Mrs. Don's
bed, half-squatting and massaging Mrs. Don's legs while Audrey sat on the side, making Mrs. Don very
happy.
At first glance, they looked like a family, intimate and harmonious.
Nicole suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
She was not a narrow-minded person. She should be happy that Viola could fulfill her filial duty in front
of her grandma for her. But strangely, she did not feel the slightest bit of happiness. She even felt like
an outsider and came at a very inopportune time.
Just as Nicole was at a loss, Mrs. Don immediately turned excited when she saw Nicole.
"Nikki, come here, let me have a look at you!"
Mrs. Don's enthusiasm for Nicole could not be concealed at all. She even wanted to stand up and
welcome Nicole personally, but Viola stopped her.
"Grandma, your legs just get recovered. The doctor told you not to move. Didn't Nicole come? She's in
good health. Just let her come over."
Viola's "Grandma" made Nicole uncontrollably raise her eyebrows.
Seeing this, Audrey hurriedly explained, "Recently, Viola has been taking care of your grandma. Your
grandma felt that Viola was adorable and let Viola call her grandma as you do."
Nicole didn't say anything, but seeing Viola deliberately stop Mrs. Don from getting up, she couldn't
help but feel a little uncomfortable.
She quickly walked up to Mrs. Don and said with a smile, "Grandma, are you feeling better?"
"Much better."
When Mrs. Don saw Nicole, she hurriedly held her hand.
"I heard that you went abroad on business. Did you just come back?"
Mrs. Don's words made Nicole understand that she did not know about her miscarriage. Nicole did not
say anything about it. After all, if Mrs. Don misunderstood that her miscarriage was related to the
antidote, she would be extremely sad.
"Yes, I just got off the plane."
Nicole followed her grandma's words.
"No wonder your face is so pale. It must be because of the jet lag. Your uncle is busy, and I can't see
him all day. It's good that your mother and your sister are with me now. Now that you're back, you must
accompany Grandma more, okay?"
The more Mrs. Don looked at Nicole, the more pleased she felt.
Her eyes resembled Xander's, reminding her of her son.
"If your father was still alive, he would probably be very happy to see you like this."
Mrs. Don was a little excited.
"Grandma, please calm down first. The doctor said you shouldn't get too excited. Nicole, why don't you
call me first when you get back? I can tell Grandma in advance so that her blood pressure won't rise
because of excitement."
Viola seemed to be very concerned about Mrs. Don, but hearing her words, Nicole didn't feel good.
She had no relationship with the Don family. What she wanted from being an attention seeker here?
Nicole's eyes turned cold, and Audrey frowned slightly. She hurriedly took a step forward and said, "I
suddenly remembered that mother's report hasn't been taken yet. Let me and Viola go and take a look.
Nikki, stay with grandma for a while."
With that, she pulled Viola out.
