"Mr. Green, when did you come out? Why didn't you say anything? How is your injury? Are you alright?"
Seeing that Samuel's expression was not very good, Phoenix couldn't help but ask.
Samuel's gaze never left Nicole.
Nicole didn't care about his life. She had been back for three days, but she didn't say a single word to him. Even though he did everything he could, Nicole still ignored him.
What exactly could he do to get his wife's attention?
Samuel was speechless.
Now that he heard Phoenix's question, he only said, "I'm fine. I won't die."
He went back to his bedroom.
Phoenix knew that he was angry, but she didn't offend him. Could it be that Samuel was angry because she married Davon and became his sister-in-law?
As Phoenix thought this, she felt that her marriage was too hasty.
No!
She must tell Davon that this marriage didn't count.
As Phoenix thought this, she asked Helen to send the nutrients up and followed in.
Samuel did not lie down. He sat in a wheelchair and looked at the scenery outside. No one knew what he was thinking.
When Phoenix arrived behind him, she suddenly felt emotional.
He used to be the person she wanted to marry the most, but now that she saw him again, she didn't feel too sad anymore.
Was it because she didn't have deep feelings for Samuel? Or was she a woman of easy virtue?
Phoenix was puzzled and somewhat depressed.
"Mr. Green, can I ask you a question?"
Now that Nicole was not here, Phoenix felt that it was still okay to ask Samuel some sensitive questions. This was also the last time.
Samuel nodded.
Phoenix said embarrassedly, "Mr. Green, do you think that I am a woman of easy virtue?"
"How come?"
Samuel couldn't help but frown when he saw Phoenix's shilly-shally expression.
He treated Phoenix as his younger sister, and he felt ached for her.
Phoenix bit her lower lip and thought for a while before saying, "I always knew that I liked you. I even told myself that I would only marry you. If it weren't for you marrying Nicole, who is good enough for you, I wouldn't have given up so quickly. However, not long after I gave up, I met Davon. I don't seem to like you that much anymore. Even not long ago, Davon and I got married, and I didn't feel wrong about it. Someone said that if I don't marry you, then it would not matter who I get married with. I also thought that was true, but looking at my marriage certificate, I could feel the happiness and excitement in my heart. I don't reject it, and even feel a little happy. So, I think I might be a hypocritical woman. I really don't deserve to love you."
After saying this, Phoenix was in an extremely depressed mood.
Samuel rarely saw Phoenix look so distressed. In the past, he was afraid that Phoenix was too obsessed with him. Now that he heard that Phoenix married Davon, Samuel was happy and gratified.
"Don't be silly. From beginning to end, your feeling for me is not love. It's just adoration and gratitude."
"How is that possible? I was indeed into you."
Phoenix retorted.
She knew exactly how she felt.
Samuel looked at her and finally smiled. "Then when did you fall in love with me?"
"After you rescued me from the depopulated zone when I was eighteen, I had a deep affection for you."
"What if I told you that the person who saved you that year wasn't me, but Davon?"
Samuel's words stunned Phoenix.
"Excuse me?"
"The person who saved you back then was indeed not me, but Davon. However, he was seriously injured at that time. When he handed you over to me, you were already unconscious, and he did not have any strength to hold on, so he fainted. Perhaps your memory is completely gone, but do you remember that after you woke up, there was another patient in your ward? You had a good time with him. More accurately, you are the one who bullied him happily."
Samuel recounted the past.
Phoenix had no impression of it at all, but it was so blurry that it seemed like there was a boy who was being bullied by her.
The main reason was that the hospital was too boring. At that time, there was no mobile phone in the hospital of the battlefield. She could not find Samuel, so she could only play with the boy in her ward. But the boy seemed very dull and not very talkative, so she always teased him and made fun of him.
If Samuel hadn't said anything, Phoenix would never remember that there was such a person in her memories.
"That boy was Davon?"
"Yes."
Samuel remembered that Davon had been bullied by Phoenix in the past, so he couldn't help but purse his lips and smile.
Perhaps it was because he saw how she bullied Davon that he completely broke off his thoughts towards Phoenix.
Wasn't she afraid that Phoenix would still have feelings for him?
Knowing that Phoenix was in his room, how could Nicole still be so calm?
Samuel was on the verge of going crazy.
Looking at Samuel's expression and gaze, Phoenix remembered that there seemed to be no interaction between Nicole and Samuel after she arrived, so she couldn't help but be stunned.
"Mr. Green, did you fight with Nicole?"
Although Phoenix felt that it was impossible, the strange atmosphere seemed to be like a fight.
Samuel said somewhat gloomily, "There was no fight. She has not been on speaking terms with me. I'm a patient. It has only been three days after I underwent a major operation, but she treats me so coldly. Don't you think I'm pitiful?"
In the past, Samuel would never have said such words, but now, Samuel's expression was depressed, and even his tone carried a trace of grievance, which shocked Phoenix.
"What's wrong? Why is that?"
Why?
Samuel didn't know what to say.
Until now, he didn't feel that he had done anything wrong.
Was it wrong for him to choose to protect Nicole under the premise that he could not save both of their lives at the same time? This was the way he loved her, but Nicole was extremely angry.
If Samuel told Nicole that he wouldn't do it again, he felt that it would be a lie. That was why they didn't know how to reconcile with their relationship, but he really couldn't stand the way Nicole ignored him at this moment.
Thinking of this, Samuel sighed and said, "What is on women's minds?"
"Mr. Green, what do you mean by women? What's going on? If you don't tell me, how can I help you?"
"Can you help me?"
Samuel's eyes immediately lit up.
Yes.
Phoenix and Nicole were good friends, and Phoenix was also a woman. Naturally, she understood Nicole. Perhaps she could give him an idea.
Thinking of this, Samuel hurriedly told her the whole story.
After Phoenix heard this, she knew what their problem was.
"Mr. Green, to protect Nicole, you decided to sacrifice yourself. There is no problem with that, and it's even touching, but your fault is that you didn't discuss it with her. How should I put it? You love her and you can do everything for her. You don't even mind sacrificing your life for her. In the eyes of outsiders, you do love her fearlessly. But to Nicole, you don't respect her, nor do you respect your relationship. She is forced to accept your choice, and even to accept that your sacrifice. Don't you know how heavy a life is, Mr. Green? Do you think it's a sign of love to let her live the rest of her life in regret and frustration under such a heavy burden?"
