Chapter 323 Nicole, I&##x27;m Here

"Don't leave me, honey! Don't go!"

Although Nicole was hugged tightly by Samuel, she couldn't wake up from that nightmare.

She cried, struggled and looked desperate.

Samuel burst into tears too.

"Nicole, wake up. You're fine. I'm here. Nicole!"

Samuel whispered Nicole's name, but Nicole could not hear anything.

She could only see the child turning into a pool of blood and questioning her over and over again why
she hadn't protected him.

Nicole almost broke down!

If she had known that she was pregnant, she would not have taken such a risk to do that.

But if she did not do so, what would her mother-in-law and grandmother do?

That plan was a double-edged sword. It would always hurt Nicole whether it was achieved or not.

Nicole couldn't wake up from this nightmare. She kept blaming herself and crying like a helpless child.

Samuel was heartbroken.

This was the first time he had seen Nicole so sad. He had no choice but to hug her and kiss hard on
her cherry lips.

This was no longer a kiss. Samuel was almost biting Nicole wildly.



The pain brought Nicole back to reality.

She seemed to smell a familiar scent.

It was Samuel!

She was so aggrieved that tears flowed down her face.

Not long ago, she had told Samuel that she wanted to have a child. But now, she lost her baby. How
could she explain it to Samuel?

Nicole couldn't stop crying. Samuel kissed her tears and whispered, "I'm here, Nicole. I'm here."

He repeated it in Nicole's ears.

Nicole gradually calmed down. Although she was still crying, she was no longer screaming.

Seeing her like this, Samuel felt very bad. He wanted to put her down on the bed, but Nicole
consciously grabbed onto his shirt and didn't let him go.

When Olivia saw this, she sighed and said, "You'd better stay with her."

Although Olivia didn't want to admit it, she had to say that Nicole needed Samuel the most now, not
her.

Olivia quietly walked out of the ward. At the door, she turned around and found that there was a little
world exclusive to Nicole and Samuel. No one else could join them.

Olivia had suspected Samuel's feelings for Nicole. But she was touched now. Although Nicole had her
ups and downs, Samuel cared about her much. So, Olivia had nothing to say.

She turned around and saw a man not far away. Her eyes narrowed.



It was Tim!

This bastard!

She hadn't taken the time to look for him, but he showed up right here. It seemed like God was helping
her.

So, Olivia followed Tim angrily.

Nicole was still unconscious in the ward. After Samuel gently coaxed her, she calmed down a little, but
her shoulders were still trembling.

Samuel hugged Nicole tightly and felt very upset.

It wasn't easy for a woman to endure this. It was even worse than killing Samuel with a knife.

As the hours passed, Samuel couldn't sleep anymore. Looking at Nicole's pale face, he felt that no
words could express how he felt now.

Audrey rushed over the moment she heard what happened to Nicole. Seeing Samuel's caring look, she
whispered, "Is Nicole alright?"

"Yeah. But the doctor said she suffered grievous injuries, so she needs to have a good rest."

"Then I'll go back and cook something for her, so that she won't feel uncomfortable when she wakes
up."

Audrey wanted to stay here for Nicole. But she also knew that Nicole needed Samuel the most now,
not her.

Samuel did not refuse Audrey's suggestion and whispered, "Minister Shaw, there is no problem with
the antidote. Let Mrs. Don take it. Please don't tell her what happened to Nicole so that Nicole won't get



worried later."

"I see. Take good care of her."

Audrey nodded and left.

The room went quiet again, but Samuel liked the silence. If it wasn't for the wrong place, he would like
to stay with Nicole for the rest of his life.

After Vincent dealt with his things, he rushed over.

"Samuel, is Nicole alright?"

"Yeah."

Samuel covered Nicole with the quilt and then went to the corridor with Vincent.

"Samuel, if you want, you can just scold or beat me. Please don't ignore me."

Vincent looked at Samuel like a child.

Samuel shook his head and said, "I didn't ignore you. But I can't care about anyone else right now.
Have you seen Joseph?"

"Yes, he's well raised, much better than me as a child."

When Vincent saw his son Joseph, he was very excited. Samuel told Joseph who Vincent was in
advance, so Joseph knew that his daddy Vincent and Samuel looked exactly the same.

Now that Joseph finally saw Vincent, he was a little shy, but he was excited too.



"Take good care of the Greens and the company. I have to take care of Nicole for some time. I've done
a lot for the Greens. Now I just want to do something for her and our children."

Samuel knew why Vincent came to look for him, but he was tired and scared.

He only wanted to live a quiet life with his wife and children, so that Nicole could live better for the rest
of her life.

Since Samuel had made up his mind, Vincent said in a low voice, "I'll help you manage it for now.
When you come back, I will give them back to you."

"We could discuss about it later."

Samuel patted Vincent's shoulder and whispered, "I have to go inside. Nicole is unstable and she can't
leave me."

"I'll have our servants make some supplements for her."

"No need, her mother has gone back for that. You can do your job."

Samuel got up, entered the ward, and left Vincent outside the door.

Vincent suddenly felt that they were growing apart.

He knew what Samuel did to Zama. Vincent did not sympathize with Zama. However, he had a new
understanding of Samuel through his actions.

It seemed that Nicole was very important to him.

After Samuel closed the door, he sat down and stared at Nicole again.



Nicole was still unstable. Even though she was asleep and unconscious, she was still tormented by
nightmares. Her soft cry made Samuel heartbroken.

He also felt bad about losing their child, but he knew better what it meant for a woman.

It was an injury that no one could heal.

Samuel warmed Nicole's hand with his, but it remained ice-cold.

Nicole used to be naturally warm, but now she got such a low body temperature.

Samuel was still very angry. He just wanted to go back and beat Zama up again.

Fortunately, Nicole woke up as Samuel waited and expected.

She looked at the snow-white ceiling and smelled the pungent disinfectant. It took her a while to realize
where she was, and the memories came back with a painful rush.

Nicole put her hand on her stomach.

It was so cold.

She could also remember the heart-wrenching pain and the feeling of a child leaving her.

Nicole's flat and dead eyes were filled with tears. She was still blaming herself.

Samuel hugged her arm tightly and said, "Don't think too much. You should be fine, and I'll be fine too.
We have Lucas and Zoe. They're our angels."

Only then did Nicole realize that she was not alone in the room.

"Why are you here?"



Nicole said weakly.

A lump rose in Samuel's throat.

"Then where should I be?"

"I'm sorry."

Nicole looked at Samuel and felt so aggrieved. However, when she remembered what she had done,
she did not know if she could feel that way.

If it wasn't for her insistence that she thought she was intelligent and could control everything, her child
would be alive and it wouldn't end up like this.

Samuel knew Nicole was blaming herself, so he comforted her. "You didn't do anything wrong. This
can't be blamed on you. If I were you, I would have done the same. Nicole, you've handled it well. As
for our unborn child, it's not your fault. Zama is too vicious. Don't punish yourself with others' fault. You
can't be too sad for your health."

Nicole cried and pounced into Samuel's embrace.

"I'm sorry. I didn't know I was pregnant. If I knew it, I would not have been so reckless. I just thought
that was the simplest and most direct way. I could trick Zama to make an antidote and save Granny
and your mother. I didn't know I was pregnant. Our kid was so little, and I don't know if we're going to
have a girl or a boy. I didn't even feel anything when the baby left me."

"Alright, don't cry. You have to rest now. If you cry too much, it'll hurt your eyes. We're young, and we
can have another child. We missed this baby, but I hope he'll choose us again."

Samuel hugged Nicole tightly and patted her back gently to comfort her, but Nicole couldn't help but
feel sad.



She was eagerly looking forward to the child!

However, she did not know that she was pregnant and had lost her baby because of that plan. How
could she not be sad?

Seeing that Nicole was so sorrowful, Samuel grabbed her hand and said, "If you feel bad, just beat me.
I'm so useless that you and our child suffer so much. It's not your fault, Nicole. Don't blame yourself,
please. I would only feel even more upset."

"I'm sorry. I'm very sorry!"

Nicole lay on Samuel's shoulder and cried loudly.

She knew that it would only make Samuel feel worse if she kept crying. But if she didn't cry, she was
afraid that her sadness would kill her.
