Don't Try to Escape, My Wife! novel Chapter 1522

"I'm afraid this child is in danger."

Nicole leaned over and whispered in Samuel's ear.

It was too noisy outside. If Nicole didn't whisper like that, Samuel might not be able to hear her. But at the same time, Samuel was keeping an eye on the hidden risks. He just felt a wave of hot air come over his ear. It was as if an electric current went through his body, causing him to tremble. He didn't pay much attention to what Nicole said.

Just as Nicole was about to say something, the young girl lost her balance and fell off the wire rope. The people around instantly cried out in fear.

Samuel tried to help, but there were so many people that he couldn't step forward. He could only watch the girl fall. He even heard the bones break.

Nicole was a mother. The young girl didn't look much older than Nicole's children. She was even younger than Lucas and Zoe. The girl's thin body and sallow face seemed to indicate malnutrition.

Seeing the fallen girl and the stunned people, Nicole let Samuel put herself down. She squeezed past the crowd and walked towards the girl. However, she saw a fierce-looking man, who seemed to be the leader of the acrobatic troupe, raised his whip and lashed the girl.

"Bitch! You ruined my business! Did you do that on purpose? Tell me!"

The ruthless whip cut through the air. Everyone was frightened.

Nicole's heart lurched. She quickened her pace, but it was still too late. The whip slammed onto the girl's thin body, instantly tearing her clothes apart.

The girl trembled for a while and suddenly looked up. She gritted her teeth and clenched her fists. Her eyes were filled with hatred, and her forehead was sweating. Nicole didn't doubt that the girl would kill the troupe leader if she was able to resist.

The people around were even more shocked.

"She didn't fall on purpose. Why did you hit such a young girl?"

"That's right. She might have broken her bones. Take her to the hospital."

There were many women as mothers around. Seeing the poor young girl, they felt soft-hearted and talked to each other.

Seeing Michele's hateful gaze, the troupe leader turned even angrier and struck at her again with the whip.

"Why are you glaring at me? You ruined my business. How dare you glare at me!"

Seeing the whip was about to fall again, Nicole took a step forward and grabbed it immediately. Her eyes suddenly turned cold.

"Beating a minor is against the law. Don't you know that? I can sue you for what you just did!"

The troupe leader didn't expect that someone would dare to meddle in this affair. He stared at Nicole.

Samuel took a step forward and kicked the troupe leader in his waist, knocking him to the ground.

"How dare you stare at my wife! Do you believe I could take your eyes out?"

Seeing Samuel who looked domineering and majestic as a superior, the troupe leader was terrified.

The troupe leader didn't dare to offend Samuel.

The troupe leader often walked around the streets, so he knew how to judge a person's status by his or her appearance. He didn't care about Nicole, but he didn't dare to displease Samuel. Because he was afraid of offending some powerful people in the local area. He could only say, "This girl is my niece. Her father told her to make money with me."

"Even so, you have no right to hit her! Furthermore, she had an accident. You have to take her to the hospital."

Samuel was also a father. Therefore, he loved children.

The troupe leader frowned when he heard that he had to pay for her treatment.

"Her father owes me money. And I don't have any extra money to pay for her treatment. So..."

"What are you saying? The child is badly hurt, yet you're so heartless!"

Nicole saw that although the young girl did not say anything, her whole body was trembling. Her forehead kept sweating, and her face was as pale as paper.

The troupe leader was so cold-blooded that Nicole couldn't help but treat the girl as her daughter.

"Let's go. I'll take you to the hospital."

Nicole was about to bend down and hug the girl when she heard the troupe leader shouting, "No! You can take her, but you have to pay the money her father owes me. My troupe is not a charity. I have old parents to support and young kids to raise. Her father agreed to let her perform acrobatics for my troupe to pay off the debts. Now I have to pay for her treatment? No way!"

Samuel frowned slightly. He looked at Nicole and the girl. Although he didn't want to meddle, he couldn't bear to abandon the child.

"How much is it?"

"What?"

The troupe leader was surprised.

Samuel said coldly, "How much does her father owe you?"

"Ten thousand!"

The troupe leader hurriedly said when he realized that Samuel would pay the debt for the girl's father.

The young girl hadn't said anything since she fell. Even though she was in extreme pain, she hadn't shouted a single word. But when she heard the troupe leader's words, she spoke.

"Nonsense! My father only owes him 5,000!"

"What about the interest? Your father has owed me 5,000 for more than a year. He left you here to pay the debt and borrowed another 5,000 from me. This is the IOU."

With that, the troupe leader hurriedly took out the IOU.
