Don't Try to Escape, My Wife! novel Chapter 489

Joseph fell asleep while crying in Nicole's arms. Even when he fell asleep, he still sobbed subconsciously, looking heart-wrenching.

Nicole put Joseph on her bed and applied the medicine to Joseph's wounds.

The more she watched, the more distressed she felt.

Lucas stood at the side and did not leave.

He watched as Nicole applied medicine to Joseph's wounds and whispered, "Mommy, can I stay here with Joseph?"

"Alright, but he's a little tired. Don't wake him up."

Seeing that her son and Joseph have a good relationship, Nicole couldn't help but feel a little relieved.

"OK."

Lucas nodded.

Seeing Lucas like this, Nicole knew that he was still worried, and she was afraid that he would hate Vincent. She whispered, "You are not allowed to meet your uncle today, do you understand?"

"He hit Joseph!"

Lucas’ eyes narrowed slightly.

Nicole knew that their brotherhood was deep. Now when she saw Lucas like this, she couldn't help but sigh, saying, "That's your uncle, Joseph's biological father. If your daddy beat you up, can you take revenge on him?"

"He won't hit me so hard."

Lucas frowned tightly.

Nicole knew that he couldn't think through this in her heart. To be honest, she was also a little angry. However, she couldn't let her child think the same way now.

"Alright, everyone's parents are different. Since you care about Joseph, get along well with him in the future, okay?"

"I know. I will definitely protect him."

Lucas nodded.

"Alright, you stay here with Joseph. I'll go down to see your daddy and grandma. I'll call you guys for dinner later."

"Alright."

Lucas was exceptionally quiet.

He had already washed his face, and now he was sitting beside Joseph's bed, staring at him.

Nicole sighed, shook her head, and walked out of the bedroom.

Laurel had yet to calm down.

Samuel did not have time to apply medicine, and he just whispered to Laurel.

"Mom, we don't know what Vincent has experienced outside these five years. Perhaps he was a bit harsh on Joseph, but after all, he is his father. Perhaps after beating Joseph up, he would also feel sorry for himself. Don't be angry."

"How can you speak for him??"

Laurel was furious when she thought of the wound on Joseph's body.

"Is he a competent father? There is no father can beat his own son like that! I used to be confused why I couldn't see Joseph often when he was with him. It turns out that he was brought to somewhere I couldn't find and was abused!"

The more Laurel thought, the angrier she became.

Nicole walked over and whispered, "Mom, Joseph is already asleep. I've already applied medicine to his body. Don't worry, Lucas is accompanying him."

"How bad are his wounds? I don't even dare to look at his body."

Laurel sighed and said, "This child is too miserable. His own mother was bad and died early. Now, although his father has returned, he has encountered such a thing. If he has autism because of this, I'll feel extremely guilty."

As she spoke, her eyes became tearful.

Samuel didn't feel good either.

After all, Joseph was brought up by himself, how could he not feel sad when he saw him like this? And he couldn't accept the way Vincent educated his children.

Nicole took the medicine kit and turned Samuel's face over. She gently applied medicine to his face and said to Laurel, "Did Vincent beat him before?"

"How is that possible? He was always gentle. I wonder what happened to him. He's been so hot-tempered lately."

Nicole was slightly stunned.

"Lately? Did something happen to him?"

In theory, a gentle person should not suddenly become irritable.

Samuel suddenly remembered what Laurel said to him not long ago. Obviously, Laurel also remembered.

They exchanged glances and fell silent at the same time.

Seeing that they did not speak, Nicole asked doubtfully, "What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"

"No, I just suddenly remembered that something indeed happened to Vincent recently."

"What?"

Nicole was slightly startled.

Samuel whispered, "Ever since he took over the Eternal Group, he has been very busy. I heard that he has been working on the relocation plan in Sothern suburbs recently. However, I heard that it has not gone smoothly. Many shareholders of the company have complaints and arguments. After all, Vincent is new in business, so it is inevitable that he will have conflicts with those shareholders."

Hearing Samuel's words, Nicole immediately understood.

"Are those shareholders comparing Vincent with you?"

If it wasn't for this, Vincent probably wouldn't be so extreme.

After all, the relationship between them was pretty good.
