Don't Try to Escape, My Wife! Chapter 834 I Just Want to Be Alone

"If I cannot see my mother, can I at least see Morgan? Even if I can only video chat with her. I need to
ask her something. Is that ok?"

Nicole's request was so sincere and urgent in front of Edwin.

Edwin paused for a moment and said in a low voice, "I am afraid she will not see you either."

"Why? There is no grudge between us."

Nicole could not understand the reason behind it.

Edwin shook his head. "I don't know the details. But when she promised to take care of your mother,
the only condition she told me was that she did not want to see you again for the rest of her life."

"What?"

Nicole was so shocked that she did not know what to say.

Was it because that she did not show respect to Morgan in the Land city, and that was the reason why
Morgan did not want to see her forever?

But Morgan was not a small-minded person.

"Grandpa, could you..."

"There is nothing I can do because I already made a promise to her. Perhaps I will try later but not now.
I am getting tired, too. You may go and take a rest."

It was obvious that Edwin did not want Nicole to stay any longer.



Nicole understood that there was no need for her to insist and stay anymore. She said goodnight to
Edwin and left the room.

Cara came back at this time and saw Nicole. Seeing the disappointment on Nicole's face, Cara asked
with worries, "Mrs. Green, is everything alright?"

"I am tired. I want to rest for a while."

Nicole returned to her mother's room.

She suddenly remembered what Edwin said. He told Nicole that Audrey caught a fatal disease and
would pass away soon. He also said that Audrey knew the diagnosis when she left the Seapolis City.

Sadness came to her mind, and her tears were about to drop.

When Audrey was still a healthy woman, she did not think of her as someone of vital importance to her
life. When she said that she wanted to leave the Seapolis City to travel around, she was only sad for a
moment. At that time, she did not see her mother an important part of her life.

Audrey gave birth to her. But in the past 30 years, it was the Bush family who gave her the parents'
love. She had such a happy life that she kept an indifferent attitude towards Audrey. Even if there was
a trace of affection, she never felt that Audrey was important. Moreover, the other child of Audrey's had
caused so much trouble for her.

Nicole even felt that if it was not for the Dons and the essential etiquette she was taught, she probably
wouldn't be this close to Andrey. However, when Nicole knew that Audrey's life was coming to an end,
she finally felt the deepest pain.

The pain was like a vine with poisonous thorns that tightly wrapped around her. It was getting so tight
that it was hard for her to breathe.



She tore open her collar, but still felt suffocating.

How did she end up having a fatal disease?

She was still so young and energetic.

Edwin said that Audrey had been unfortunate all her life. Nicole did not feel so at first, but now, she felt
deep sorrow.

The fear and sadness of knowing Andrey was going to die was overwhelmingly painful for her.

Audrey had two daughters, but when she didn't have much time left, she decided to find a place to die
alone, so that no one would know. Nicole felt sad every time she thought about it.

Cara was worried about Nicole. She saw Nicole crying when she came to Nicole's room,

Nicole did not make any sound. It was like she did not intend to cry. However, Cara got more worried
when she saw it.

"Mrs. Green, are you worried about Mr. Green? Do not worry, Mr. Green is capable of anything. He will
come and pick you up."

Cara guessed about Nicole's tears.

Nicole did not deny it, nor did she say anything. She just looked outside of the window. No one knew
what she was thinking.

It started raining outside and soon got misty, which made Nicole's mood even worse.

She was desperate to see Audrey, but she also knew that without Edwin's permission, she would never
have a chance to see her.



Nicole looked at the photo of Audrey on her bedside table. Her tears fell like pearls off a string.

She could do anything, but she could not fight with death.

What should she do?

Was it the destiny that she could not have a close familial relationship with Audrey?

She had not had many opportunities to be together with her. She never snuggled up to her like any
other child. Why would she leave this world in such a hurry?

Perhaps, after Nicole's father died, Audrey had been suffering. She was just living life. But now, she did
not have to wait any longer. Was she finally going to see Nicole's father on the other side of the world?

Did it mean that Nicole would officially become an orphan?

This was the first time Nicole felt like she was duckweed.

A feeling of emptiness that could not be filled by the Bush family.

In the end, this bloodline made her suffered from losing a family member.

Nicole ignored Cara and lay on the bed. She tightly grabbed the blanket and covered her head. The
smell on the blanket reminded her of the feeling of snuggling in her mother's arms.

Audrey's face and voice showed up in Nicole's mind.

Audrey was a boring woman. She rarely smiled and kept a poker face all day. She did not know if it
was from her job as a diplomat, or the loss of her lover.

All Nicole could remember was the first time she saw Audrey smile. It was when Audrey saw her and
knew she was her daughter.



Audrey's smile back then was so bright and warm. Was it true that she could never see it again?

Nicole grabbed the quilt tightly and wept.

Cara was completely frightened.

"Mrs. Green, what is going on? Are you unwell? I have cooked some herb medicine to stabilize your
pregnancy. Would you like to drink some? Your mood right now is bad for the baby."

No matter what Cara said, Nicole did not stop weeping.

Yes. She was once a baby in Audrey's belly. She had also tormented Audrey for ten months as a baby.
Audrey endured so much pain to give birth to her. Now that Audrey was sick, but there was nothing she
could do. Nothing.

Nicole felt like a terrible daughter.

No!

She could not sit here and wait helplessly. She must see Audrey!

Nicole had never been so determined.

However, this was the Shaw's. She was surrounded by bodyguards. Even if she had superpower, it
would be hard for her to escape from this place.

Samuel was not here, and she could not get out by herself. She also had no idea about how Audrey's
situation was. What should she do?

Cara put the medicine on the table when she saw that Nicole did not say anything. When she wanted
to go out to find someone, Nicole started speaking.



Nicole's voice was so hoarse that Cara could tell she was holding something back.

"Cara, I am fine. I just want to be alone." Nicole said.

"Mrs. Green, you are in great sadness right now. I am worried..."

"There is nothing to worry about. It was only because I knew some things that made me sad. Do not
worry about me. I will be alright after tonight. Could you leave the room now? Please close the door
and turn off the lights. I want to sleep well. I am too tired."

Nicole's voice was weak. It sounded like she was exhausted.

Although Cara was worried, she could not bear to say anything seeing Nicole like this.

"Alright, Mrs. Green. Could you drink the medicine before I go back?"

This time, Nicole did not refuse.

She lifted the blanket and sat up. Then, she directly took the bowl, gulped it down, and gave the bowl
back to Cara.

It was bitter, but Nicole did not say anything and directly drank it.

Cara saw that she was in a bad mood, so she took the bowl and went out without saying anything else.

Edwin was waiting outside. Seeing Cara come out and held an empty bowl, he asked worriedly, "Has
Nicole drunk the medicine?"

"Yes, Mrs. Green drank it. I added some medicine that could soothe her. Mrs. Green should be able to
sleep well tonight."



Cara and Edwin were at odds, but now surprisingly, they became partners.

Edwin's heart finally relaxed. He looked at Cara and said in a low voice, "Could you sleep in the
corridor tonight? So that you could know if anything happens. I am worried that she..."

Edwin did not finish the sentence, but the intense concern in his eyes made Cara's hostility towards
him dissipated a lot.

"I will do that."

"Don't worry, I will tell them to adjust the temperature here so that you will not catch a cold. I also told
someone to bring the blanket over."

"Thank you."

Cara did not go back to her room and directly sat down in the corridor.

After Nicole drank the medicine, she went to bed and pulled over the quilt to cover herself. The smell of
the quilt reminded Nicole of Audrey as if she was right beside her, singing a lullaby for her to sleep.

Slowly, her eyes became a little wet.

Her head was dizzy. She realized that Cara might have added something else in the medicine, but she
was OK with it. She needed to rest anyway.

She was so tired that she wanted to have a good sleep. She did not want to ask or know anything. She
just wanted to go to bed like a child. Cara's medicine helped her.

Nicole fell asleep without any distractions.

She had a good sleep, but Cara and Edwin did not.



Edwin woke up several times. When he arrived outside Nicole's room, he saw that Cara was not asleep
either. He asked in a low voice, "How is it?"

"I went in and checked. She slept soundly and breathed evenly. I believe she is fine."

Hearing Cara's words, Edwin was relieved.

Finally, Edwin could not resist the sleepiness at midnight.

"Go to sleep now. I do not think Nicole will wake up for a while. We will talk about it when she wakes
up."

"OK."

Cara yawned, her eyes struggling to stay open.

Finally, everyone fell asleep.

When the sun rose up, Nicole woke up.

She slept soundly this time. Looking at the time, it was only five o'clock in the morning.

It was quiet at the Shaw's. Everyone was in their dreams.

Nicole stood up barefoot. When she opened the door, she saw Cara asleep against the door, the
bodyguards at the door of her room already gone.

She did not know why but still went to Edwin's room quietly.

Having just fallen soundly asleep, Edwin did not notice Nicole's arrival. Nicole gently pulled open his
night stand and took something out.
