Don't Try to Escape, My Wife! novel Chapter 1623

“I’m finally back!”

Laurence’s voice was quite hoarse, making Nicole feel bitter.

She could feel that Laurence had used a lot of strength. It seemed that he was emotionally unstable. He hugged her tightly, trembling slightly. Nicole guessed that it might be because he was freaked out or because of something else.

It was quite rare that Samuel didn’t get jealous this time. He didn’t separate Laurence and Nicole either. Instead, he was standing next to them, whispering, “I’m so glad you are back.”

In the end, Laurence finally released Nicole.

He chuckled and said, “I used to think I might not be able to come back. I thought if I truly became a monster who only knows to kill, what should I do if I hurt you? However, I completely lost control back then. At that time, my reason was damaged little by little. I couldn’t see any hope at all.”

While Laurence spoke, his eyes were darkened.

Nicole recalled that Laurence’s change had something to do with Cara. However, right now, Cara was missing. Nicole wondered how she should tell Laurence about her.

Laurence had experienced the life and death risks. Now he finally survived. If she mentioned Cara again, probably she would stab another dagger into Laurence’s heart.

However, Laurence didn’t have such a worry as Nicole did. With a bitter smile, he continued, “I’ve never expected it was Cara who set me up.”

Nicole was slightly startled, looking over at Samuel subconsciously.

Noticing her gaze, Samuel said, “Let bygones be bygones. I guess Cara probably had her difficulties.”

“Right. I want to know what her difficulties were. She used to love me so much and wait for me for such a long time. How could she change just overnight? I remember very well -- she pushed the syringe on me while weeping. I could still recall her struggle, reluctance, and hesitation. However, I don’t understand why she had to do that. If she wanted me to die, I wouldn’t turn her down. However, she must give me a reason.”

Laurence smiled bitterly again.

Nicole also wanted to know the reason. She wondered what on earth could let Cara set up her beloved man.

Right then, Nicole suddenly didn’t know what to speak.

She didn’t know how to comfort Lauren, and nor did she know what to remark.

Laurence broke the silence.

“I heard Cara jumped into the sea and now she’s missing, right?”

“Yes. We searched for her for a long time but failed to find her. However, for your health condition...”

“I see. I don’t mean to complain. I just feel she’s still alive.”

Laurence had such an intuition.

Nicole didn’t dare to echo him.

It was the sea. Even an experienced sailor might not be able to survive on the sea. Cara was just a weak girl. Could she make it?

Nicole didn’t know.

If Cara were still alive, there should be some news about her. However, it had been more than half a year.

Samuel said in a low voice, “If she was still alive, she would come to you, Laurence. Now you haven’t completely recovered yet. You’d better take care of yourself. By the way, you should know the relationship between your parents and the Don family. Olivia Kent and Booth Kent are your cousins. If you have time, you should meet them. They both are here.”

Upon hearing it, Laurence paused a bit and nodded in agreement.

Nicole could feel that even Laurence had become rational because he had a heavy blow by Cara’s matter, he still couldn’t adjust his mood back.

Laurence was a pitiful man.

Since he was still a fetus in his mother’s belly, he had become a research target and was injected with a lot of medicines. As soon as he was born, he lost his parents. The only person who treated her well, Adela, died because of him. Since then, he had learned to keep a distance from people. Later, he finally accepted Cara and fell in love with him. He had thought that they could be together, but Cara changed.

Nicole didn’t know what kind of tone and words she could use to comfort Laurence. She just hoped that the care and warmth from his family could light up the ray of hope at the bottom of Laurence’s heart.

Seeing that Laurence was a bit exhausted, Samuel took Nicole away from the room.
