Don't Try to Escape, My Wife! novel Chapter 998

"Grandpa, you make me feel I am an idiot!"

Nicole pouted her lips like a kid.

Edwin laughed.

"You really are not smart. Otherwise, you won't get injured so many times. Look! You have gotten into the hospital several times since you came back. It is the hospital, not your home! I don't care the cost, but I care about your health."

Seeing that Edwin was about to preach, Nicole said, "Grandpa, I think Lillian is suspicious."

"Lillian? Petty's mother? The one you saved from Elvis'?"

"Yes!"

Nicole nodded.

Edwin sneered, "Elvis abused her for years, but she got out of the hell alive. She is an unusual woman. Nobody would let her stay except you. She is different from Petty. Petty grew up with Samuel since she was a little girl, so she is kind. She was just used by other sometimes. As for her mother, she may not be a good person."

Nicole didn't understand, "Why?"

"I think she is smart. Or she would have been killed. To Una, Lillian was a great threat. I am a man too. If I were Elvis, I would not let Lillian live, even if she was pregnant. But Lillian gave birth to the child right under Elvis’ nose and lived in the place where Una lived for years. She even waited for you to save her. Do you really think that it was just a coincidence or a miracle?"

Nicole immediately understood.

She never thought of that before.

"But what is she going to do?"

"She wants to get rid of you and Samuel for Petty."

Nicole was stunned at the moment.

"Don't you understand?"

Edwin looked at Nicole and sighed, "You still don't understand? Petty is a member of the Green family. If the fact wasn't revealed, then she is just an orphan, so she wouldn't be a threat to you and Samuel. But now everyone knows Petty is the daughter of the Green family. Elvis dreamed about taking back everything of the Green family. Then Petty came back home. She has the right to inherit the wealth. Yet, I'm not saying that Petty has this intention to compete with Samuel, but Lillian will. That's the motive. "

Nicole really hadn't thought about it before.

She and Samuel managed to take everything in place. Now the Green family was getting better. Lillian was saved by her. It was why Nicole thought that Lillian would be grateful to her. It was Nicole that let her be with her daughter again.

She never thought that it would be so complicated. Nor did she expect that Lillian would have the evil thoughts after getting rid of the adversity.

"Grandpa, this is all your guess. There is no evidence."

Nicole tried to deny it. However, in fact, she had already accepted what Edwin had said.

Edwin shook his head, "Well, I know you won't admit it. But, now that you found her suspicious, you have to find ways to protect yourself. Beware of her! Understand?"

"I see. I'm not a fool. I just don't like these tricks."

Edwin looked at Nicole and touched her head. "If you want a simple life, you should marry another man. People only see the brilliant side of the wealthy family, but they don't know it is really dirty under the gorgeous surface. I feel sorry for you!"

"Grandpa, I just marry someone I love."

"Stop the romantic things. You stay here with me in case Lillian would hurt you. Before you recover, I won't let you get out of here."

Nicole immediately felt unhappy.

"Grandpa, I can't. I came back to handle lots of things. If I'm here, I can't prove Lillian is the betrayer. Well, I know you're worried about me. I'll be safe and sound, I promise."

Nicole almost thought of swearing to God.

Although Edwin didn't believe what she said, he stopped insisting.

"If anything happens to you again, I'll punish you."

Edwin said fiercely, but Nicole smiled.

Suddenly, her phone rang.

Finding that it was a strange number, she was stunned.

"Who is it?"

Edwin glanced at her.

Nicole shook her head and tapped the answer button.

"Hello?"

"Excuse me, is that Ms. Nicole?"

He said formally.

"This is Nicole. Who is that?"

As soon as Nicole asked, the other side responded.

"Ms. Nicole, this is from the detention center. Mr. Bush had a sudden myocardial infarction and we sent him to the Central Hospital. We can't reach Mrs. Bush now, so we got your number from Mr. Bush. Can you go to the hospital? We need the signature of the family."

Nicole was stunned for a moment.

Mr. Bush got a myocardial infarction.

Why couldn't they reach Mrs. Bush?

Her eyebrows furrowed.

"I'm in the Seapolis City now. I'm afraid I can't go there."

"Ms. Nicole, this is the detention center of the Seapolis City. Mr. Bush was transferred here from City B yesterday afternoon."

Nicole felt it was weird.

Braden was involved in a plagiarism. The artists who accused him of it came from different areas. Braden had been captured in City B at that time. According to the legal procedures, he should be transferred to the detention center of his residential city. But Braden had no residence here now, so there was no reason to transfer him here unless he requested it.
