Chapter 1262 A Sneaky Move

When Samuel saw Nicole, three mercenaries were attacking her. And soon, Samuel pierced them
dead.

"Samuel, why are you here? Where's Zoe?"

Seeing Samuel coming over, Nicole was very worried about Zoe and hurriedly asked.

She was out of breath and getting worse physically.

Samuel looked at her worriedly. After kicking the last mercenaries away, he pulled Nicole into his arms
and whispered, "Emory's men get here to help us, so I come to check on you."

"Who taught Zoe how to shoot? She is so adept."

Nicole's still somewhat shocked.

She vaguely remembered that the ablest child was Lucas. She did not expect that Zoe could shoot so
well. She was concealing her talent in the shooting.

Samuel touched her head softly and said, "When we went for the special training, Lucas was worried
about her health. He asked the instructor not to be strict with Zoe. The instructor used to be a soldier
under me. He thought that Zoe had to defend herself in case anything happened, and he discovered
Zoe's talent in the shooting. He asked me for advice then, and I agreed. After all, as a Green, Zoe
cannot be too weak. Too many incidents may happen, and we can't save her at the first possible
moment. And she needs the most basic defensive techniques."

"I don't know anything about this."

Hearing Samuel's explanation, Nicole heaved a sigh of relief. But she still worriedly said, "How can Zoe
withstand the recoil of the sniper rifle?"



"The sniper rifle was modified. And the recoil can't hurt her. That sniper rifle was specific to her and
was brought in her luggage. Besides, when she was in the Cawker's, Nash probably taught her some
self-defense tactics. Don't be deceived by your daughter's angelic face. This is her disguise and her
secret skill."

As Samuel spoke, he picked up Nicole.

"Alright, don't worry about Zoe. You're really getting weaker. Just a small fight and you are panting now.
You have to go jogging with me tomorrow morning after you get up."

Nicole did not reply.

"Joseph is in the kitchen. Let's go back and pick him up."

"Wait, I have to deal with them."

Samuel did not want Nicole to help him, so he put her on a rock to rest.

Nicole was still a little worried then. Soon, she was a little dizzy by Samuel's kisses.

After Juliana and the others dealt with the mercenaries, they saw Zoe wiping her sniper rifle with a
serious expression and went shocked.

"Miss Zoe, you are the one that took the shot?"

"Yes, what's wrong?"

Hearing Zoe's answer, Juliana immediately swallowed her greetings.

Juliana knew Zoe was not the one to mess up with.

"Nothing."



Juliana hurriedly smiled at Zoe, feeling extremely depressed.

"Your men need more practice. They are so slow. What if something happens to me and Mom? It would
be such a pity if beautiful ladies like us were killed by them. Oh, right, I'm hungry. I wanna eat things
that can fly. Go get me some."

After saying that, Zoe put away the sniper rifle and went for Joseph.

Juliana was a little devastated.

"When will she leave?"

"Miss Juliana, she seems to have just come here."

A man plucked up the courage and answered Juliana, but Juliana rolled her eyes at him.

"Do I need your reminder? Go to work!"

"Yes."

After Juliana roared, she felt that the wound hurt even more.

'Things can fly?'

'What things exactly?'

For a moment, Juliana wanted to be transferred away.

When Samuel dealt with all the mercenaries, he carried Nicole and came back.

"Lock up a few survivors in the cave. I need to know who their mastermind is. Keep them alive. If they
die, you'll be buried with them."



Samuel's voice was very cold, and his aura was so strong that nobody dared to speak out loud.

Zoe was a little depressed. She couldn't continue her disguise.

"Daddy, where's Joseph?"

"In the kitchen cabinet."

Nicole hurriedly said.

Juliana's men immediately carried him out.

Joseph didn't wake up, Zoe asked someone to carry him into the room and guard him aside.

Nicole was brought into the bedroom by Samuel.

"These mercenaries were so clear about our whereabouts. Those behind them are not ordinary
people."

Nicole was worried.

"Maybe they just wanted to stop us from doing something. Perhaps it has something to do with Emory."

Samuel thought for a moment and said,

"Then are we still going to visit the grave of Vincent?"

"Yes, why not? You and Zoe stay at home."

Samuel was worried too.

"No. I'm just a little tired. I can protect myself."



Nicole was also very helpless towards her health.

Recently, Samuel had bought much tonic to replenish her. But she was still weak. May it had something
to do with the miscarriage?

Samuel still wanted to say something, but he stopped because he knew Nicole. He decided to go with
her rather than leaving her worried at home.

"Then let's wait until Joseph wakes up."

"Alright, I'll sleep as well."

Nicole looked tired.

"OK, I'll go take a look."

Samuel poured a glass of water for Nicole. Then he left after Nicole drank it.

When Joseph woke up, he saw Zoe sitting beside his bed, shaking her legs, and enjoying a fairy tale
book in her hand. He couldn't help but be stunned.

Zoe was so soft and quiet, and he wanted to protect her.

"Zoe."

Just as Joseph got up, he thought of something.

The gunfire!

His eyes suddenly were widening.

"Hi, Joseph."



Zoe raised her eyebrows and smiled. She suddenly jumped down from the chair and got close to
Joseph, "How are you? Do you want some water? Eat something? Or listen to the story?"

"Zoe, are you alright?"

Joseph grabbed Zoe's hand.

He still remembered the first time he saw Zoe who was lying on the hospital bed and she was
extremely thin. Her eyes were filled with a desire for life, but she was helpless.

He couldn't forget the look in her eyes or how weak Zoe was then.

In his memory, Zoe was weak and needed him and Lucas to risk their lives to protect. Especially after
he knew that all that was caused by his biological mother. Once he swore to himself that even if he lost
his life, he would still protect her because of that kind of guilt.

'But what did mother say?'

She said that he was Vincent's only son. No matter what, Zoe and Lucas would be ready to sacrifice
themselves for him at any time.

It's not like that!

No!

His mother had committed a crime. Because of her, Zoe had a congenital defect from birth. It was his
mother who owed Nicole, Zoe, and Lucas.

Why could they treat him so well without hatred?

Joseph could not understand, but he was very touched.



"I'm fine. Joseph, I'm scared just now. If it weren't for Daddy protecting me, I wouldn’t see you again.
Joseph, I'm really scared! I need a hug!"

Zoe suddenly jumped onto the bed and threw herself into Joseph's arms.

Joseph hurriedly opened his hands and hugged her tightly, comforting her gently, "Don't be scared. I
will definitely practice well and keep you away from such dangers."

"Joseph is so nice."

Zoe smiled very brilliantly and her sweet voice nearly melted Joseph.

He knew it was time for him to put that down.

No matter what, as long as Zoe, Lucas, and Mommy Nicole were there, this home would be perfect.

There was a change in Joseph's eyes.

"Where are Daddy and Mommy? Are you hurt? We'd better go take a look."

"Don't go. Joseph, Mommy is probably sleeping now. They are good. But can you help me check on
another person? She seems to be seriously injured."

Zoe got out of Joseph's embrace.

Joseph frowned slightly and asked doubtfully, "Who?"

"Someone worked for Uncle Emory. They were misunderstood by Daddy and were beaten. If it weren't
for her bringing men here today, we would probably have been killed."

Zoe looked so scared. Joseph immediately asked, "No problem, I'll go and see her."



"Thank you, Joseph."

Zoe brought Joseph who brought the medicine box to Juliana.

"Juliana, I asked my brother to cure you. You must be in pain, right? Don't worry. Joseph had excellent
medical skills. I guarantee that he'll heal you and stop your pain."

At that moment, Zoe was like a beautiful doll, her voice was pleasant to hear. However, Juliana
involuntarily trembled.

'What was she going to do?'

When Zoe saw Juliana looking at her in horror, she hurriedly lowered her head and cried, "Juliana, I
know that my Daddy misunderstood you before and beat you up. You may feel very uncomfortable, but
my Daddy didn't do it on purpose. If you had said that you worked for Uncle Emory, my Daddy would
not have had the wrong person."

'So, it was my fault?'

Juliana twitched her mouth.

Seeing that Juliana didn't say anything, Joseph couldn't help but look at her coldly.

"Juliana, Zoe wasn't in a good physical condition, but she still cares about you for you saved us. She
dragged me over to heal your injuries. I think you should thank her."

"What?"

Juliana was depressed.

'What did she do?'



"I don't do anything, do I?"

"But that's exactly why gets my sister so sad."

Juliana got even more depressed because of what Joseph said.

Anyway, it was as if she was wrong.

They were family...

"I..."

"Alright, let's go to the room. I'll see cure you."

After Joseph finished speaking, he pulled Zoe back.

Zoe turned around and saw Juliana, grimacing, which pissed Juliana off.

'Was Zoe sent to upset her?'

It was such a sneaky move.

'I owed Zoe a huge favor now?' Juliana thought.

She was very upset. Suddenly, her phone rang. Her face changed after she read the
message.

"| don't do anything, do I?"

"But that's exactly why gets my sister so sad."

Juliana got even more depressed because of what Joseph said.
