Chapter 200: Where Is Joseph

After Samuel and Nicole had a happy time, they lay quietly in bed, enjoying a moment of peace and
quiet.



Nicole knew that Samuel was upset. No one would ever feel good when knowing that the mother he
had loved for case, nearly 30 years was not his own mother, but he just didn't know how to say it.



Finally, Samuel sighed and said, "I had no idea Zama was my real mother. No wonder my mother
always protected her from me. That's the reason.”



“Do you blame mother?”



Nicole, not knowing what was going on in Samuel's mind, asked him carefully.



Samuel smiled sadly and said, "What is she to blame for? Blame her for being so nice to me? Or did
she hide the truth from me? To be honest, I always felt that my mother was strict and always had a
busy schedule. I actually knew that it was not easy for such a big industry as the Green Family to rely
on my mother alone to support it. However, I really wanted to be by her side as a child at that time’





"Maybe Vincent doesn't have a lot of feelings, because he has been in poor health since he was a
child, and Zama always was with him and I with my mother. Or maybe because I am the heir of the
Green Family, and my mother always took me with her everywhere. I could see how difficult she was
and how she looked when she went out to negotiate with illness, so we were kind to each other. Until
once day when Zama told me that my mother didn't really love us, and I was really sad.”



Speaking of the past, Samuel felt uncomfortable, and even after all these years, he still seemed unable
to recover from that feeling.



"Zama was really mean and shrew."



Nicole burst out and felt awkward after saying that.



It used to be fine to say anything, but now that Zama was Samuel's biological mother, she didn’t know if
Samuel would be offended.



She took a wary look at Samuel and saw him looking at her with a smile on his lips.



“You're afraid now?”





“Who's afraid of you?”



Nicole had been snooped into her mind and looked away.



Samuel reached out and took her hand. "In the days since you disappeared, he said, "I've looked into a
lot of things. I've learned a lot about Zama. This woman is my own mother, but I'm not favoritism. I'll
find out what she did to my mother.’



"You know what?”



Nicole suddenly thought about Laurel's illness.



Laurel kept Samuel from knowing. Maybe she was afraid Samuel would be embarrassed.



Between enmity and hatred, Mrs. Green decided to destroy her own illness report for the sake of
Samuel's mood. She even didn't want Samuel to know what kind of person her biological mother was,
perhaps because she was afraid of hurting Samuel.





Nicole wondered how much Samuel had heard outside, so she could only ask.



Samuel saw her little eyes rolling, and suddenly asked, "Is there something you are not telling me?"



“No!”



Nicole was quick with her answer, but also showed a little guilty.



Samuel looked at her and whispered, “Is it the report on my mother’s health?”



"What is it? I don't know.’



Nicole paused, about to play dumb, when Samuel said, "Did my mother say something to you? When I
was here, I only heard what you said later, which was about my life experience. My mother must have
told you something about the case before, right? Maybe she knows what's going on, doesn't she? Is
there something to do with Zama?"





Faced with Samuel's barrage of questions, Nicole was baffled.



"I don't know what you're talking about. I'm a little sleepy. I want to sleep.’



“Nicole...”



“Leave me alone!”



She was afraid to look Samuel in the eye.



At this moment, she finally understood Mrs. Green's mood.



Who would be so cruel to hurt Samuel, a clever and kind man?



Samuel didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he gently hugged Nicole behind her and whispered,
"Take a break, and we'll get the results of Zoe”





"Zoe's out?”



Nicole turned around smartly, looking extremely nervous.



Samuel shook his head. "Not so fast,’ he said. "I heard from the doctor that the specialists are treating
Zoe, and it seems to be working.”



"She was asleep? How is that possible? She was in so much pain..."



"There's a treatment called painless therapy, which leaves the patient painless. The technology is only
just being developed abroad, but we hear it works well, so we should give Zoe some confidence.”



"Well!"



Speaking of Zoe, Nicole felt a little down.



This child really suffered a lot since birth. Thinking of Zoe, she couldn't help thinking of Lucas, thinking
of Laurel told her about the Night Elf Empire.





"Samuel, mom gave me this.’



Nicole took out the quaint ring.



Samuel looked at it with some solemnity.



“Mother gave it to you?”



"Yes."



Samuel took another ring out of his pocket. It was obviously a similar ring, but it was clearly a man's.



"It's a status symbol for the Green Family, and the mistress's ring is said to have other functions as
well. Didn't Mom tell you?"



"No"





Nicole pretended she didn't know anything. She tried to know how much Samuel knew.



Samuel frowned. "I've only heard of it since I was a child, but I've never seen it,’ he said. “I never
thought it would be in my mother's hands. Well, since mom didn't say anything, I'm sure she'll tell you
again in the future. Don't think so much now. You have to take care of this ring. I don't know what it
does, but it's said to be very important to the Green Family.”



"Got it.”



Nicole was about to tell Samuel about the Night Elf Empire when a knock came to her door.



“Mr. Green, Miss Zoe and the specialists are out.”



“Let's go and see”



Samuel got out of bed and dragged Nicole to her feet. They opened the door, and Jacob stood outside,
worried.





"Where is Zoe?”



"She is sent to the VIP room, but with one more instrument.’

Jacob, however, was a little confused, and told him exactly what he had seen.



Samuel and Nicole hurried to Zoe's room.



Zoe was lying on a hospital bed, thin and weak, with a ventilator stuck to her nose and a device
attached to it.



“What's this?”



“A painless analgesic will relieve Miss Zoe's physical pain.”



Many of the experts were old. When Nicole heard what they said, she was relieved.





Not wanting to disturb Zoe's rest, Nicole asked Jacob to call the experts to her office, and Samuel
followed them.



After talking to experts, Nicole learned that Zoe's condition was not incurable, and that there was a
good chance to remove the morphine.



Nicole's eyes grew moist as the experts said this.



After such a long time of anxiety, she finally could let go of it.



The experts came up with two more ideas, and after talking to Nicole and Samuel, they agreed.



The expert meant the same as that of the doctor. Zoe's body couldn't accept large-scale kidney
transplant operation for the time being. First of all, it was very important to keep healthy.



Nicole and Samuel agreed.



They would do anything to save Zoe.





It was only then that Nicole realized that someone was missing.



"Where's Joseph? I remember he was sleeping in my room when I left, just now...”



Samuel's eyes narrowed slightly.



"I don't see Joseph in your room.”



Nicole felt panic.



“Where are Jacob and Joseph? Did anyone see where Joseph went?"



Nicole was very nervous.



Jacob hastened to get someone to look for Joseph.





The bodyguard at the door said Joseph had gone out a while ago, probably to the backyard.



Samuel and Nicole ran to the backyard.



These were troubled times at the Green Family, and they didn't want any more problems with Joseph.
After all, that was Vincent's only child.



When the two of them reached the backyard, they couldn't find Joseph. Nicole was shrouded in
unspeakable fear.



“What's the matter?”



"Don't worry, the security is strict here. It's impossible to get people out quietly. Let's try again.”



Samuel was worried, too, but Nicole was so upset that he had to comfort her.



"How can I not be in a hurry? Lucas is gone, and if anything happens to Joseph, I...”





“Nicole...”



Samuel held her hand tightly, only to find a small figure lying on the ground not far away. It was not one
but Joseph.



"What's the boy doing?"



Samuel was relieved and angry, walked quickly toward Nicole but was stopped.



"Don't be so impulsive. Let's see what he's doing.”



Nicole and Samuel quietly walked over to Joseph, who was lying on his stomach trying to catch a
butterfly.



There was a very small morning glory, and the butterfly was flying on it and moving its wings, while
Joseph watched it without moving. He made a random and quick move, grabbed the butterfly's wings
directly, and then put them into the bottle with a smile.





It was a glass bottle, and there were already several butterflies in it.



Joseph happily stood up, only to find Samuel and Nicole behind him, and she was somewhat surprised.



"Daddy, Mommy, why are you here?”



“What are you doing?"



Samuel always thought that catching butterflies should be a girl's job. How could Joseph, a naughty
boy, do such a boring thing?



Joseph was a little in awe of Samuel. He looked at Samuel and moved quietly behind Nicole, his hands
covered in mud, grabbing Nicole by the hem of her dress, completely spoiling it.



Samuel looked over, and Joseph quickly let go of his hand, only to lose his footing and fall backward.
