Don't Try to Escape, My Wife! novel Chapter 996

Nicole did not express her doubts. Zac hurriedly asked someone to bring Nicole some hot water.

"Petty, come here and have a seat. Your belly is swelling now. Are you alright these days?"

Nicole remembered that she and Petty learnt about their pregnancy at about the same time. Now, Petty's child was still here while hers was not. Nicole couldn't help but feel a little sad. However, she didn't show her sadness. She didn't want Petty to notice that she was in a bad mood.

Happiness was shown on Petty's face.

"I'm fine. Isn't it something that every woman has to experience at least once in their lives? I went to see the doctor. The doctor said that there was only one baby. Somehow, I was disappointed."

Petty was Elvis' daughter. The Greens had the genes to be pregnant with twins. Petty wanted twins too. She enjoyed watching Lucas and Zoe. If she could have two children at once, it would also save her the trouble to get pregnant again.

Therefore, Petty didn't expect that she wasn't pregnant with twins, as other Greens were. She only had one baby.

Nicole smiled and said, "As long as the baby is healthy."

"Exactly."

Petty immediately smiled.

Zac pulled Petty and whispered to her, "Nicole has just returned. We should let her rest for a while. You can chat with her later."

After all, this was not a normal time. Nicole came back to deal with Samuel's matter. Petty didn't notice it, but Zac knew that Nicole had other important things to do.

Petty hurriedly said to Nicole, "Nicole, forgive me. I'm just happy to see you. You should go upstairs and have some rest now. I don't know when the reporters outside will go away, and I don't know what's going to happen. Without Samuel here, we are all counting on you."

"It's fine. Don't worry. I'll go upstairs and rest. Talk to you later."

The injuries on Nicole's back hurt so bad. Nicole really couldn't hold on any longer.

"Alright."

Petty hurriedly made way for Nicole.

Nicole smiled and went upstairs to the bedroom.

When she was about to take off her clothes, Petty's voice came from outside.

"Nicole, Olivia and a doctor are here."

"Let them in."

Just as Nicole was wondering how to take off her clothes, Ashley and Olivia were here. She immediately felt relieved.

When Olivia brought Ashley in, Nicole was taking off her coat.

Nicole was wearing a black coat today, and she looked normal on the surface. However, her shirt inside the coat was soaked in blood, and the blood was dried. It was very difficult to take it off.

"Heavens, Nicole, how did you manage to endure the pain? Can't you feel it? You went to the detention center to see Samuel just like this?"

Olivia's face instantly became ugly.

Of course, Nicole felt painful, but she was still smiling at Olivia, "How did you know that I went to the detention center?"

"Blair told us."

Hearing Ashley's words, Nicole was startled for a moment.

"Did you go to Blair's place?"

"No. We happened to meet him when we came back. He was boarding. We had a quick talk," Ashley said indifferently.

Nicole's heart skipped a beat.

"Where was he going?"

"City B."

Ashley looked at Nicole with a faint smile.

Nicole suddenly felt her heart beating wildly.

"Did something happen to Samuel?"

This was the only thing she could think of.

With Gabrielle pregnant, Blair would not leave the Seapolis City easily. He had to take care of Gabrielle. Now that he had left the Seapolis City for City B in a hurry... No matter how Nicole thought about it, she felt that it must have something to do with Samuel.

Olivia glared at Ashley and hurriedly said to Nicole, "Don't worry. How can anything happen to Samuel? Blair has a medical seminar to attend there. It's just a coincidence."

"Really?"

Nicole didn't look at Olivia.

Nicole knew too well about Olivia. Olivia would do anything if Nicole could stay ignorant and lie in bed to rest. So, she was looking at Ashley.

Ashley shrugged her shoulders and did not answer.

Nicole immediately understood everything.

Something must have happened to Samuel.

He was fine when she left. What happened all of a sudden?

What was wrong?

Was he sick?

Or, did someone hurt him?

Nicole's mind was racing.

Ashley said calmly, "What? Do you want to go back?"

Nicole couldn't help but froze for a moment.

Go back?

That was not an option.

She complied with the conspirer's wishes and came back to the Seapolis City with great difficulty. Moreover, Samuel was not by her side. How could she managed to leave here?

She was like a target now. Everyone was watching her. If she returned now, she might put Samuel into a more dangerous situation.

After thinking it through, Nicole answered calmly, "There's no need. I believe he can survive this. Come on, treat my wounds. I have to go out."
