Don't Try to Escape, My Wife! novel Chapter 287

Nicole was getting nervous.

 

She quickly rang the emergency bell, but her hands were shaking and she kept praying that Zoe would be safe.

 

By the time the doctors and nurses arrived, Nicole was still unresponsive that Zoe had been wheeled into the operating room.

 

At night in the hospital, the hallway was quiet, and Nicole was increasingly upset.

 

At that moment, she wished that Samuel could be with her. At least she would not be so afraid. She was like a sail in the sea,

not knowing where she should go nor did she know what Zoe would face. This feeling made her fidgety.

 

Suddenly another glass of hot milk was handed over.

 

Nicole looked back and saw Tim standing behind her with a smile on his face.

 

“Hanging out on the porch in the middle of the night? Your daughter's not all right yet?”

 

Nicole shook her head. "The operation is successful," she said. "But she has a fever. It's probably a sign of rejection."

 

"Have some milk, calm down. It will be all right. She's your daughter, Nicole. She must be as strong as you are. Now she is

fighting with her illness, and you must not fall down first.”

 

At this point, Tim was a little serious.

 

Nicole nodded. She knew that these words might be comforting, but they were reasonable.

 

She should have faith in her daughter.

 

Taking the milk from Tim, Nicole took a sip of it, still not knowing what it tasted like.

 

Her eyes had been fixed on the operating room, feeling blank. She knew that the blank feeling could only be filled by Samuel, but now she did not know how Samuel was now. She hadn't had time to ask about it.

 

Tim sat down next to Nicole.

 

He looked at the operating room lights and whispered, "You know what? I've been through so much like this.”

 

"Yes?"

 

Nicole was so worried about Zoe that she didn't hear him very well. She just responded subconsciously.

 

Tim didn’t know whether Nicole was hearing him, he just continued, "That happened a lot when my mom went crazy,’ he said to himself. I was young then, and my dad stayed with me at first, and then I became alone. My dad abandoned my mom, saying that she was a crazy woman, and always self-harmed. He didn't mind if she died or not. From then on, I will sit alone on the porch, watching the operating room lights flickering, but never saw my mother come out. It was quite hopeless at times."

 

This was the first time Nicole had heard Tim talk about his mother, and despite the rumors, few would dare provoke the Louis

family, and not many people dared to report anything.

 

"Your mother...”

 

"She gets crazy. She doesn't even know me. When I was a kid, I was kidnapped, and my dad cheated on her. Then my mom got crazy. When the kidnappers tried to kill me, my mother thought I was dead and went crazy. Since then, she'd been hurting herself. I've always felt that my dad and I were the ones who made my mom the way she is now. In fact, when you were in danger in America, I wanted to help you, but something happened to my mother and I couldn't get away. I'm sorry." Tim whispered.

 

Nicole never expected that Tim was going through this at that time, and now she didn't know how to comfort him. "How's your

mother now?" asked Nicole.

 

"She is much better now. She cut her wrist last time, but I found it in time, or I will have lost my mother now. My dad used to say that my mom has lived a life as if she is dead, but it's not the same to me. My mother is alive, and I still have someone to love. But if she is really gone, I don't know who else in the world I can cherish."

 

Tim had a bitter smile on his lips.

 

Everyone saw the bright side of Tim. He was playful, cynical, but extremely lonely.

 

This loneliness was covered by the happy appearance and his cynicism.

 

It was as if Tim had taken off all his masks and disguises and appeared in front of Nicole like a helpless child.

 

Something occurred to Nicole.

 

"You said you were kidnapped when you were a child?"

 

"Yes. Many rich kids have been kidnapped. Even Samuel was kidnapped when he was a kid.”

Nicole was momentarily taken aback by Tim's remark.

 

"How can that be? Samuel was so tough. It wouldn't have happened.”

 

"He wasn't born to be strong.”

 

Tim gave Nicole a look of disdain.

 

Nicole found it right.

 

Samuel was so perfect in her mind that she had forgotten that as a child he might have been as powerless as Tim.

 

She smiled and said in a low voice, "Speaking of abduction, I remembered that when I was a child, I saved the son of a rich family who said he would marry me when he grew up.’

 

Tim's eyes lit up.

 

"Do you remember what that little boy looked like?"

 

"It has been a long time. Who can remember it? Besides, how could a child take a word for it? I only saved him because I thought it was a pity if he died, as he was very handsome. Later I was scolded by my mother. She said that I didn't take care of myself. By the way, that little boy seemed to have a birthmark on his arm. It was like a star. That was the first time I'd ever seen a child with such a beautiful birthmark.

 

Nicole's words caused Tim to put his hand on his left arm.
