Chapter 1375 All Grudges Are Settled

Laurel looked in Nicole's direction. Sweat oozed from Nicole's forehead. It could be seen that her
worries were the same as Laurel's.

Seeing that Major's men were about to enter, Laurel knew that there was no time to hesitate any
longer. She immediately pulled the trigger and shot towards Major's leg.

The bullet pierced through the air and headed towards Major.

Major dodged sharply and immediately became vigilant.

"There's a sniper in the direction of three o'clock."

Everyone came out when they heard this. They open fire towards Laurel's location.

Nicole suddenly became anxious.

She never imagined that Laurel would sacrifice herself for this task. She even treated her life as
nothing.

Just as Nicole was in a daze, Major ran into the room to dodge.

"Kill her! Shoot her to death!"

Major shouted ferociously.

Nicole had no time to care about Laurel, let alone thinking of anything else. Holding her breath, she
aimed at Major's head and suddenly pulled the trigger.

Major was sensitive enough to realize there was another sniper, but at that time he couldn't turn around
to dodge. In his desperation, Major pulled one of his subordinates before him.



The bullet pierced through his subordinate's temples. Major lowered his body slightly to shun. This was
a near escape.

Blood flowed down from Major's head, bringing with it the smell of blood. This angered Major.

"Damn it! There's another sniper!"

He abruptly grabbed the gun of his dead subordinate and shot towards Nicole's position.

Nicole rolled on the spot and quickly shifted her position. She did not forget to aim at Major again at the
same time.

This time, Major was not that lucky.

The bullet surprisingly pierced through his chest. Major fell straight down immediately.

"Mr. Major!"

His men immediately panicked.

Nicole did not dare to stay any longer. She quickly left.

Right at this moment, Samuel's helpers came. They surrounded the rest of the men and then killed
them all.

Samuel took control of the situation. Nicole then quickly went to find Laurel. Only then did she notice
that Laurel, being shot several times, was at her last gasp.

"Laurel!"

Nicole felt very sorry.



She gently picked up Laurel. The warm blood stained her palms and clothes red. It also stung her eyes.

"Why? Why do you do this?"

Nicole had always thought Laurel to be selfish, cunning, and even somewhat ruthless. She still
remembered how Laurel poisoned her, how Laurel abused and bullied her. How could such a villain
sacrifice for her?

No!

No way!

She must be up to something.

"Are you plotting something? Do you have other plans? Tell me, tell me!"

Nicole's eyes were moist. She was on the verge of crying.

Laurel looked at Nicole and smiled, "Nicole, you can't learn the tricks of a villain, and you can't be a
villain either. You are soft but determined. No one can persuade you once you make up your mind. This
is not good. But luckily, you have Samuel. Without him, you might not have been able to achieve what
you are now."

"I know, I know. Don't talk anymore. I'll find a doctor. There should be a field doctor in the team. I'll get
him!"

Just as Nicole was about to get up, Laurel grabbed her hands.

"No need. I can't make it. Don't waste the doctor's time."

Laurel suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.



Nicole could not suppress herself. The tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes.

"Don't think I'll forgive you for what you've done for me, Laurel. I won't forgive you. Do you think I'll feel
guilty if you die for me? I won't!"

"That is the best. I'm just a cold-blooded person. I didn't do it for you just now. Nicole, I really don't like
you."

Laurel gasped for breath and paused for a moment before saying, "I'm doing this for Samuel. Even
though I know I'm not worthy to be his mother, I still feel happy to be able to do one last thing for him.
You're the one he cares about the most, so you must be safe. What is Samuel to do without you? He
has no families around him, except you. Although I don't like you, I know you are his favorite. I hope
that you can accompany him for the rest of his life. "

After saying that, Laurel coughed violently. The corners of her mouth turned red. However, she smiled
with relief.

"My entire life is pathetic. I thought I was fighting for my country and my people. I thought I could give
everything I have for my country and my people. For this, I spared no effort and even betrayed my
beloved ones. But in the end, no one cared about what I did. The king I support is not for the people at
all. My life is a joke. I am happy that I can die for a good cause. I am a person without roots or family. I
hope you can bring my ashes back and bury them beside my husband. He is the only one I have loved.
But I almost destroyed his son and the entire Green family. I was guilty, and even if I died, I might not
be able to get redemption and forgiveness. However, I still want to see him even if I am given the cold
shoulder."

As Laurel spoke, her voice died down.

Her arm automatically slid down, giving people a sad feeling.



Nicole felt very sad.

She didn't want to forgive Laurel. Everything she did was so hateful and loathsome. How could the pain
Laurel put on her and Joseph be erased so easily?

However, she felt pain.

Nicole had a mixed feeling. She put Laurel down and cleaned her up.

In fact, from another perspective, Laurel was respectable. She did so much for her country and people.
It was just that she did not get recognition. She chose the wrong country and the wrong faith.

Samuel quickly ended the battle. After annihilating Major's men, he put away Major's corpse.

He looked everywhere for Nicole, but only to find Nicole kneeling on the ground, crying before a
woman.

Samuel's heart ached.

That dress was so familiar. Could that woman be Laurel?

He quickly ran over. When he saw Laurel lying on the ground covered in blood without breath, his heart
ached.

"She..."

"She sacrificed herself to save me."

Nicole briefly recounted what happened just now.

Samuel was shocked.



He didn't expect Laurel would sacrifice herself to protect Nicole.

As her son, he was grateful to Laurel for this.

"Does she have any last words?"

"She wants to go home and be buried next to Dad. She says she wants to apologize to Dad."

Nicole looked at Samuel and whispered, "Samuel, I don't think I can hate her anymore."

"Then don't. Death settled all grudges."

Samuel hugged Nicole.

Fortunately, she was unharmed.

He was truly grateful to Laurel. She saved Nicole. For this reason, he would place Laurel's tombstone
beside his dad and carve his name on her tombstone.

At this moment, he was willing to admit that she was his mother.

Lying on Samuel's arms, Nicole wept, "I really don't like death. No matter who dies, I'm very sad. A
person only has a few decades. This is already hard, let alone sudden death. It feels really bad."

"It won't happen again. These people sacrificed their lives for more people to live peaceful life. This is
our duty as the armed force."

Samuel's words instantly gave Nicole a deeper understanding of soldiers.

In the past, she wanted to spend time with just two of them. She thought there were countless service
members. It did not matter if he quit. She even secretly felt delighted when Samuel decided to leave



the army. It was only at this moment that she understood the meaning and sacredness of being a
soldier. Only then did she understand the greatness and weight of that military uniform.

Nicole was proud to be a soldier's wife.

She held Samuel tightly and then whispered, "Thank you, Samuel."

Thank you for protecting so many people.

Thank you for sticking to your post.

Thank you for letting me understand the true meaning of a soldier. Thank you for letting me know it was
honorable to be part of the Dons, the Shaws, and his wife.

As Nicole said, her eyes showed no fear.

For fear that Leo would notice something, Samuel did not stay long with Nicole.

He threw Major into Leo's room and sent a video to Jarrod using hacking technology.

"I know that you definitely have a way to find out Jayden's account number. Give me his account
number. I want to upload Major's death for him."

When Jarrod received the massage from Samuel, he was slightly stunned. Then, he sent over an
account number, followed by a paternity test report.

It was about Jarrod and Jayden.

They were indeed not biological father and son!

Samuel already knew this, but Jarrod still felt sad. He even wanted to know who his biological father
was.



Thinking of this, Samuel told Jarrod what Laurel had told him. Jarrod only sent two words.

"Thank you!"

He would check the rest himself. Jarrod would also find out the name of the dead guard and where he
was buried.

Samuel knew he was not a coward. He would not be destroyed by this kind of setback. Luckily, they
were still brothers. Nothing mattered in front of this thing.

Jayden couldn't sit still after the video was uploaded.

After all, Major, his only son, died so miserably in Leo's room. He could not believe this had nothing to
do with Leo.
