Chapter 185: Someone Came in

Nicole started to ponder how to commit suicide, when thinking about this.



With her hands and feet bound, it was impossible to cut her own wrist. With her mouth gagged, she
couldn't commit suicide by biting her tongue. Thus, what else could she do?



Knock her head against the wall?



However, her distance to the wall was not far enough to make it. What's even worse, she couldn't move
her body at her own will.



Nicole really thought herself a pathetic one, for she even had no access to death.



Apparently, Allen was the most ruthless.



She had no choice but to stare at the ceiling desperately. However, for a while, she felt a little dizzy. It
seemed as if there was someone opening the ceiling.



But how could it be?





This was the basement, so the so-called ceiling was just under the floor.



Nicole blinked her eyes again, only to find the ceiling exactly moving.



She coughed twice to make some noise, even though nobody could hear it.



Nothing more was heard from the outside, which indicated that there was no one outside the door.



She stared at the ceiling without even a blink until that ceramic tile was moved away. When catching
sight of a head, she was amazed to keep her eyes wide open. Unexpectedly, Someone actually came
in!



Besides, he made it in this way!



She was so surprised and happy, especially when she saw the owner of that head, her eyes were filled
with tears suddenly.





It was Samuel!



He showed up !



He was to save her!



Obviously, he found her last time, didn’t he?



Samuel had felt a sight following him since he moved the tile away. The view he saw inside almost
make him blind, and his heart was so hurt that he almost couldn't breathe.



Allen, that jerk!



How dare he treated Nicole like this?



Samuel was deeply provoked when he observed Nicole’s condition that she was tied on the bed in the
X-shape, her mouth was gagged, especially when the blood oozed out of her wrists and ankles.





As a matter of fact, he had imagined a variety of scenes when he saw Nicole. However, none of them
could have been more stirring than this, and made him so painful. He jumped down quickly.



Nicole fixed her eyes on Samuel without any break, for she was so frightened that the man in front of
her would disappear in a time and everything here would change into an illusion.



“Nicole!”



Samuel ran towards her quickly and freed her mouth.



“Samuel!”



Nicole had a hoarse voice and an emaciated body.



Samuel's hand was shaking.



“How could this happen? Didn't Allen like you so much? How could the bastard treat you like this? I will
kill him! I will surely kill him!”





He was trembling with anger, but he still released her with gingerliness.



Nicole fell into his arms with a rush.



When Nicole recognized the familiar smell and touched his warm chest, she felt as if a generation had
passed.



She couldn't believe that she still had the chance to see Samuel again with what she had suffered.
Nevertheless, she felt it was a dream, without any reality, when he was standing really in front of her.



Samuel was a bit suffocating with her tight embrace, but he didn't push her away.



Nicole became thinner. She was so thin that her body was not as elastic as it used to be.



He didn't know exactly how much Nicole suffered all the way. Even so, he could tell that she had
suffered a lot.





He didn't dare to ask, and he couldn't ask, and even was afraid to ask what she had undergone, for he
was worried that he could not bear it. “I will take you home.”



His voice was a little trembling, with a lump in his throat.



It was great!



He found her eventually!



Nothing was more important than to see living Nicole, thus nothing else made sense.



Nicole said nothing but to cry somewhat hysterically and desperately. She cried for the delight of being
unexpectedly rescued from desperation, as well as the heart tremor at the moment when she saw
Samuel.



Only at this moment did she realize that she loved this man deeply.



While Crying, Nicole kissed Samuel suddenly.





That unique fragrance left Samuel kind of amazement. He catered to her carefully at once, in fear of
touching her internal injury.



Nicole strove to suck and demand, like a greedy person and a drown person who was badly in need of
something to confirm what she saw was reality instead of illusion.



Samuel got a little out of breath.



Eventually, he gently pushed her away, whispering to her, “Let's go home, whatever you want to do, I
will accompany you.”



Nicole was like an unsatisfied child. When she looked at Samuel, her eyes were twinkling with tears,
which led to Samuel’ s burning blood, and even almost making himself out of control.



But Samuel was clear that it was Allen’s place where Allen could come back at any minute.



Standing up, he was about to do something when he noticed Nicole seizing the bottom part of his
upper outer garment tightly, gazing at him like an abandoned child.





All of a sudden, his heart hurt terribly.



“I will never leave you behind, never will I again. I will walk on with you hand in hand no matter how
dangerous the way ahead all my life. Nicole, I will take you up with me, do you still have strength?

Samuel said these words in a very low and gentle voice. It seemed that she had never heard him talk
to her like that since she made acquaintance with him.



She was kind of absent-minded, but she nodded. However, when she stood up, her body fell towards
the ground rapidly.



Due to these days’ captivity, Nicole had no strength at all. What's more, she survived merely depending
on the nutrient

solution, which couldn't help her store too much strength.



Samuel hugged her swiftly, feeling as if he were hugging a leaf, a lightsome one. She really made his
heart hurt.



He mildly squinted. Then he put Nicole on his back in no time, climbing up step by step.





Lying on his back, it occurred to Nicole that Samuel’s back was so broad, so safe, and made her feel at
ease.



She held his neck tightly, tears filling her eyes.



Nicole was not aware that it was an underground basin until coming up on Samuel's back.



The underground wells here extended in all directions, thus, they didn’t need to leave from the front
door of Brook Family. But there was one drawback, which was that people couldn't leave here without
bending over.



A lump came into her throat again when thinking of Samuel's crawl into here.



“Put me down, I can walk on my own.”



She said in so low a voice that Samuel couldn't have heard it clearly if he hadn't kept close with her.





He shook his head, whispering to her, “I will take you away on my back.”



He said insipidly, but Nicole was moved because of it.



No redundant words, even no dramatic allegation, however, both of them were in great excitement.



That kind of cherishment originating from the reunion after a lifetime impelled them to shake their
hands unconsciously, tighter and tighter.



After approximately half an hour's climbing, Samuel's knees bled resulting from the attrition. But he did
not care about it. He was drenched with sweat. An unutterable taste was pervading between them.



Nicole squinted on account of her inadaptation of the sunshine outside, when they got out of the
underground basin.



Samuel hurried to take off his coat, putting on the top of her head, to shade the sunshine.



"It will be fine after we get in the car.”





“OK!"



Nicole nodded like an obedient child, which distressed Samuel a little.



Samuel carried Nicole while walking towards the car quickly and helped her fasten the seat belt. He
pressed down the car accelerator and the car roared away from Brook Family.



Samuel did not let Nicole meet Zoe in a hurry, or even let Lauren meet them.



He simply prepared a room for Nicole, running the bath water for her, to bathe her in person.



Samuel still observed the light scars on her even with the hot steam teeming in the room. His eye
became shape.



“Allen hit you?”



“No, people in Fallen Paradise Club did it, but it's all passed and didn’t hurt anymore.”





Nicole mentioned it lightly, however, the more lightly she described, the more painful Samuel felt, even
overwhelming.



Samuel didn't say more, only to treat Nicole gentler as if she were a china doll.



Observing his appearance, Nicole said suddenly, “You don't have to treat me that carefully, Samuel. I
lose nothing and I am still yours, except for some injuries.”



Samuel’s eyes became wet suddenly.



“lam not qualified to blame you, even if you have suffered something bad. It is I who don't protect you
well, and make you suffer all.”



Samuel’s eyes became a little red.



Nicole offered her hand and held Samuel's hands lightly, “You know? After being sold to the ship, I
witnessed people around



me died from different kinds of reasons every day. Life was as tiny as an ant for those people. The
fresh buried in the sea disappeared immediately. No one knew where they went and even their families
had no access to their bones. I was frightened every day, frightened to be the next one who would fall
down and be thrown to the sea. I missed you the most every day. Samuel, you are still the only one I
miss at the last gasp either five days ago or at present.



“Nicole!”



Samuel didn't figure out what he felt, touching and afflictive, but heartbreaking most.



What pain a woman underwent could lead to such a nightmare.



“It's okay, we are home now. I won't allow anyone to bully you.”



He hugged Nicole tightly.



Even though she was as lean as a rake, not as enchanting as before, Samuel didn't think she was ugly
at all.





This was the first time they had had sex, no too much ripple, but heartburn which could even make
people cry.



Samuel saw the marks on Nicole caused by the fire five years ago. He could still see them clearly, even
though they were covered by tattoos.



Eventually, he understood why Nicole’s whole body was covered by tattoos though she hated them in
the past. In a word, she would like to show all of her best to him.
