Chapter 389 Did You Mishear

Nicole waved her hand and said, "I can do it. Don't worry. I won't collapse until I find the person who
harmed me. No matter who it is, I want to know what that person wants to do."

Seeing that Nicole insisted, Tim felt worried. But he could only say, "Take care. Just tell me if you need
my help. I'll handle it."

"OK."

Nicole answered crisply.

After Tim left, she got more dazed.

The shadow of Samuel kept flashing in her mind.

He and Viola...

It was so ironic.

At first, Nicole did not intend to read it because it was just some hyped affairs. Just as Tim had said, it
might be a misunderstanding or a scheme. However, she couldn't help herself and read the entire
report.

Samuel said it was no big deal fooling with a woman.

The words broke her heart again.

It could not be true.

But if he didn't say it, would the reporters dare to write that?

Was he admitting that he had slept with Viola?



Nicole felt her headache got worse.

Now that she was in disrepute, with what right and position could she blame Samuel?

Actually, he had been nice to her, hadn't he?

He had protected her and done everything he could do. What else could she ask? And now he was just
playing with a woman.

Thinking of this, Nicole lay on the bed, covering her chest with her hands. She felt severe pain all over
her body.

When Tim returned, Nicole was nearly unconscious. She was woken up by him and took some
medicine in a daze. After a while, she fell asleep.

In her sleep, she saw that Samuel left with a woman. No matter how she called his name, he did not
turn around to look at her.

She lost her shoes during the chase, but she still lost him at last.

She cried out and kept saying that she was wronged, begging Samuel to stay. However, he could only
see the woman beside him.

When the woman turned around, Nicole found that it was Viola.

She sneered at Nicole and said, "Nicole, I said I would take everything you have. Now it's just Samuel,
and there's the Don family and old Mrs. Green. And your children; they'll call me mother. I'll vent my
anger on them. What can you do to me?"

"No! No!"

Nicole suddenly sat up. She was sweaty.



"Thank god! You finally wake up. You nearly freaked me out!"

Tim looked at her worriedly.

Nicole looked around and then remembered where she was.

It was a dream!

Fortunately, it was just a dream!

She was trembling and sweating.

Tim gave her some warm water and said, "Drink some water. You had a high fever and sweat a lot. You
must be weak. The fever is gone, but you should take care."

"Thank you."

As Nicole took the cup, she recalled how Samuel took care of her.

After her miscarriage, Samuel stayed with her for a month, taking care of her day and night like this.
Was everything fake?

Was she the only one that took their relationship seriously?

No!

It was not true!

She was not a stone. She could feel Samuel's love for her. But if he loved her, why did he refuse to
touch her after seeing the nude photos? He would rather take medicine.

He believed it, didn't he?



He believed that she, Nicole Bush, was such a shameless woman. He thought she was the kind of
woman who would mess with men, right?

If that was what Samuel thought, why was he so nice to her? And if he didn't believe the affair, why
didn't he ask? Why did he put up with that?

Nicole felt that she didn't understand Samuel, nor could she see through him.

She only knew that at this moment, she really missed him. It would be good to just hear his voice.

Her eyes were filled with tears.

Perhaps people were particularly vulnerable when they were sick.

No matter how strong you were, when you were sick, you always thought of the person who cared the
most about you.

Undoubtedly, to Nicole, it was Samuel.

But she couldn't see him now.

To protect him and his family, she had to break up with them.

Seeing that she was trying to hold back her tears, Tim sighed and said, "If you are really worried about
Samuel, why don't you call him? It's just a call. It's alright."

"No, you don't know him. He can locate me through a phone call. If he finds out where I am, he will take
me back no matter what happens. Then my hiding will be a waste"

Nicole drank a mouthful of water, trying to suppress her emotions.



Mrs. Green had been so nice to her, and the children should not get involved. She must cut off her
connection with the Green Family and find the person on the sly.

Tim felt a little jealous when he saw her being so cautious about Samuel and his family.

"Samuel must have saved the galaxy in his previous life, otherwise, he would not get the chance to
marry you."

Nicole was amused by his words.

"Come on."

"I am serious."

"Alright, stop flattering me. I must recover as soon as possible and get out. I don't know what they will
do to the Green family. They can't find me now, so they went for Samuel. They want to hurt him and get
Viola into his family. Unfortunately, it's not Samuel's style to comply."

Tim was shocked by her words.

"What do you mean? You agreed that Samuel was schemed?"

"Yes. I was dizzy because of the fever, but now it is gone, and I am lucid. You're right. Samuel is smart.
If he really wants to fool around with women, it won't be now, not to mention that he was caught in bed
with the woman. He is cautious. It must be a scheme. They are trying to draw my attention with this.
Since Viola is involved, she must have some connections with those people. As long as we keep an
eye on her, we can get some clues. "

As Nicole got rid of the pain in her heart, she saw the whole picture more clearly.

Tim was impressed by her rational analysis.



"So you want me to get someone to keep an eye on Viola?"

"That's right. See what she's going to do and who she will contact. Perhaps we can find something."

Nicole's mind was clear now. She felt badly sick earlier.

After all these years, she knew best what kind of person Samuel was.

In the five years that she left, he had not hooked up with any woman. How would he do that now?

Moreover, even if Samuel got sick of her due to the nude photos, his care and affections couldn't be
fake.

No matter how good a person was at pretending, his eyes couldn't tell lies. The sentiments in Samuel's
eyes when he looked at her were definitely real.

Nicole felt better now.

No matter what, she could only believe these thoughts.

Tim also felt relieved when he saw that she finally calmed down.

"OK. I'll go arrange it. Eat some food. I've warmed it up in case that it gets cold."

"Thank you!"

Nicole took the food. Although she didn't have an appetite, she forced herself to eat a bit.

She had to save energy.

Those people's good days were coming to an end.



Seeing that she did start eating, Tim left.

After a while, he brought some news for her.

"There is something... I don't know if I should tell you, but I think you should know it, so..."

Nicole was surprised to see him being so hesitating.

"What the hell is going on? Come on!"

Nicole felt that there was nothing that she could not accept now.

She even felt that she was becoming indestructible.

But Tim didn't say anything.

"Hurry up."

Nicole was losing her patience.

Tim took a deep breath and said, "I investigated on Viola, and I found that she was sent to the hospital
by Mrs. Don."

"What do you mean? She was sent to hospital? Did Samuel beat her?"

Nicole said spontaneously.

Samuel was cold to people. However, if anyone pissed him off, he would beat the person, no matter
whether it was a man or woman.

If it was Viola that trapped and slandered him, Samuel was likely to beat her.

That's why Nicole asked those questions.



However, Tim shook his head and stared at her.

"What happened? Say it! You are killing me!"

Nicole felt that Tim was strange today. What was wrong with him?

He looked at her and said in a low voice, "Do you want to drink some water? I'm afraid that you can't
take it."

"Is there anything that I can't handle now? I've taken things within and beyond a woman's tolerance.
Even if you tell me that Samuel abandons me, I'll be fine!"

In spite of what she said, Tim was still a little worried.

"Tim Louis, are you going to tell me or not?"

Nicole was angry.

Tim lowered his voice, "The news of Viola being hospitalized is blocked. I didn't know it until I sent
someone in. It's said that she was raped, and she was sent to the hospital because of severe tear on
her private parts. There are many injuries over her body. Mrs. Don kept scolding Samuel. Many people
heard that."

Nicole's expression immediately changed.

"What? Did you mishear? Perhaps it's just a rumor that someone spreads to slander Samuel."
